Chapter 522: First Anniversary Extra Chapter ~~ The Visitors Beginnings Part 3 ②: Beneath the Radiant Sun ~~ (2/2)
I guess there's that ”one day in every 20,000 years” where Fate-san is acting decisively when she makes up her mind.
After that, I told my feelings to Kaito-san, became his lover…… and was reunited with Iris……
As I'm dozing off, I slowly opened my eyes, feeling pleasant warmth, I saw the face of my beloved.
Ahh, speaking of which, after playing with Kaito-san today, we had a fancy reading time together, didn't we? Mhmm, I must have fallen asleep.
Well, I've dispatched clones around the perimeter, so I'm assured that Kaito-san is perfectly protected but……
[……How long was I asleep?]
[A little over an hour, I guess?]
[Mhmm, that's quite negligent of me huh…… Well, the area next to Kaito-san feels so warm, as if I'm taking a nap beneath the sun. That's why, it's Kaito-san's fault that I dozed off!]
[That's beyond unreasonable…… Rather, why the heck is the owner dozing off while I'm here manning the store……]
[So, how many customers have you had in the last hour?]
[There's no way they'd come here, you know?]
[I knew it~~]
I slowly pulled my face away from Kaito-san's shoulder, which I had been using as a pillow. To be frank, I didn't want to leave that warmth that even warms my heart but…… I'll just make up for it by having him pamper me a lot tonight.
Speaking of which, it's been a very long time since I've really dozed off. I guess that shows how relaxed my heart has become huh?
As I was thinking about this, Kaito-san looked at the clock on the wall, and as if he thought of something, he spoke.
[……It has become lunchtime before I knew it.]
[Should I make you something?]
[Hmmm, that would be nice, but since it's already time to eat, let's just go have our lunch somewhere…… There's also that new restaurant I heard had opened in Central Avenue……]
[Ohh, that sounds great. According to Alice-chan's research, that store has a pretty good reputation.]
As for me, I'm fine with giving him my home-cooked meal filled with my love…… but more than that, I was more attracted to the idea of going out with Kaito-san, so I agreed. Unnn? The store? I can just close it. It's not like customers would come anyway……
[Alright. Let's go, ”Alice”.]
[……Yes!]
I really like it when Kaito-san calls me Alice. Not as Alicia, not as Shalltear, and not as No Face…… but just as Alice, I can feel that I'm by your side……
Holding onto the happiness that filled my heart, I grasped the hand that Kaito-san held out to me.
[……I'd like to have an extravagant lunch!]
[You really are……]
[All you can eat? Thank you!]
[I didn't say that!!! Good grief……]
Muttering that, Kaito-san wryly smiled. He then looked at me with his gentle and warm expression, as if he's thinking that ”it couldn't be helped”…… the expression on his face that has become my favorite.
Human life really is unknown. The past me wouldn't have imagined that a day like this would come to my life.
I realized how happy and warm it is to love someone you care…… After living for hundreds of thousands of years, I finally understood.
Thank you very much, Kaito-san. And from now on, please allow me to always, always stay by your side…… to my beloved Kaito-san, you have my undivided love…… as an ordinary girl, ”Alice”……
? ? ? : [No~~ Alice-chan's chapter is so wonderful, filled with laughter and tears. This extra chapter makes me want to read Alice-chan's extra chapter again! Isn't her story good enough to be made into a movie? Wait, putting that aside…… This ends Alice-chan's extra chapter. I'm sure everyone's tired from the seriousness that we aren't used to, but it's going to start from here on out, so don't worry!]
Serious-senpai : [……What's going to start?]
? ? ? : [You didn't know? I'm talking about the sweetness carnival!]
Serious-senpai : […….It's over.]
