NovelEnglishI was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)
Chapter 1330: Founding Festival - Night ⑨The long fireworks display is over, and the silence that follows the fireworks comes to an end. It felt as if the surroundings had become dark all at once, partly due to the effect of the brightly glowing fireworks earlier.
Normally, I would just get up and go home since the fireworks were over…… but Illness-san’s hand was still caressing my head and I’m kinda unable to find the right time to get up……
[The fireworks were beautiful, weren’t they?]
[Yeeeees. Seeing it eeeennnd feels kind of lonely thouuuuugh.]
[Ahh, that’s true. It does feel strangely lonely after the fireworks end.]
Lightly exchanging words with her, I thought this would be a good time to get up…… but Illness-san was looking at me very kindly, and I couldn’t get up carelessly because she was directly looking at me.
If I get up here, my face would end up being suddenly brought near hers, so what should I do…… We aren’t really in a bright street, but on the roof of the clock tower, so it’s dim and I couldn’t tell what kind of expression Illness-san is making.
[Errr…… Illness-san?]
[Kaito-samaaaaa, may I ask you some questioooooons?]
[Eh? Questions? Yes, if it’s something I can answer……]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDo I have to answer while I’m lying on her lap though? H- Hmmm, she sounded kind of serious, so I probably shouldn’t strangely interject here.
As I was thinking about that, Illness-san suddenly lightly held out her hand and closed my eyes with it. Eh? What’s going on? Don’t tell me, she wants to play some sort of guessing game? Well, there’s no way that’s the case……
[What kind of person am I to you, Kaito-samaaaaa?]
[Illness-san? H- Hmmm. That’s a rather embarrassing question…… but Illness-san is very helpful and reliable…… H- How should I say this…… I think you’re like a gentle older lady?]
[I seeeeeee.]
The only thing that echoes gently behind my closed vision is Illness-san’s voice. I don’t know the intent of that question but…… Unnn. If I’m to be asked what kind of person I think Illness-san is, I would say she would be an older woman I can rely on.
As expected, even though I am too embarrassed to say it, I think of her as an adult lady whom I admire. She’s brimming with motherliness, a great amount of receptiveness, just like an adult woman.
[I’m asking juuuuuuust for reference, but would Kaito-sama consider someone like meeeeee an object of romantic intereeeeeest?]
[Eh? Of course.]
[Even with a body as petite as miiiiiiine?]
[If you’re talking about height, my lovers Kuro and Alice are also small-built…… so I’ve never really paid much attention to height.]
[Come to think of iiiiiiit, that was indeed the caaaaaase.]
[I don’t know what Illness-san wants to ask, but at least for me, Illness-san is a very attractive and wonderful woman.]
[Kuhihi, is that soooooo. Those words make me happyyyyy.]
For a moment, from the content of her question…… but perhaps, does Illness-san see me as someone of the opposite gender? Well, I asked that question…… but it didn’t really feel like that, as she responded as calmly as usual.
Just like that, with her hand over my eyes, she asked me a few more questions, but her next questions doesn’t seem to have anything to do with love. Just her first questions were about that.
My heart kinda skipped a beat when she asked that, but well, I guess that’s just the way of the world…… Just asking though, but how long is she gonna close my eyes?
[Thank you very muuuuuuch. That was very usefuuuuuuul.]
[No, no, I’m glad I could be of help.]
The content of the questions was varied and not very regular, but at any rate, I’m glad that Illness-san seemed to be satisfied.
As I had such thoughts in mind, I suddenly felt something soft on my forehead…… something that felt like lips. And right after that, the hand that was covering my eyes was removed.
[Well theeeeeeen, shall we head baaaaaack?]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Eh? Ah, yes…… Errr, Illness-san. Just now……]
[Is something the matteeeeeer?]
[No, it’s nothing.]
At my words, Illness-san tilted her head curiously…… Arehh? Have I just been imagining it, and it was something else that I felt on my forehead earlier…… I thought for a moment that she kissed me on the forehead, but based on Illness-san’s reaction, it seems like I was mistaken.
Feeling a little embarrassed at what a strange misunderstanding I had made, we returned to the location of our stall with Illness-san using my Teleportation Magic Tool.
[……Thank goodness I’m not wearing lipstiiiiiick……]
Just as we were about to teleport though, I felt like I heard such a small murmur.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [I see, from Kaito-san’s point of view, the feeling of admiration he has for Pandemonium is so strong that he thinks she wouldn’t consider having such a thought towards a child like him. Well, it’s also partly because Pandemonium is doing a good job of hiding her emotions from being conveyed to Kaito-san through his Sympathy Magic……]
Serious-senpai : [………………..]
? ? ? : [So it’s here! My chocolate fondue…… What, it’s just sugar huh. How useless.]
Serious-senpai : [……Aren’t you too cruel?]
