I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)

After playing badminton with Alice in the plaza, we decided to have dinner together as promised.

How should I say this…… Although it was just my personal feeling, I felt that some meals suited people while others didn’t.

For example, Lilia-san may have the taste of a commoner, but she still feels like a noble lady, so elegant food suits her well.

Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, for example, were high school students, so parfaits suited them well. I mean, perhaps it’s because Hina-chan loves parfaits and I sometimes see her eating them.

I think foods that could be eaten while walking really suited Kuro, while Isis-san looks better when she’s drinking tea rather than when she’s eating.

Well, putting aside whether they like the food or not, I think there are meals that suit each person……

[……Omnomnom, ahh, Kaito-san, this one’s already grilled.]

[Unn, thanks.]

But I don’t I’ve ever seen anyone in this world who looks better eating grilled meat than Alice. No, Alice also has blonde hair and blue eyes, and considering her appearance alone, I think stylish Western-style food would have suited her but……

The image brought out by her character may have been too strong…… but the image of her eating yakiniku suits her more than that. I guess if I were to unexpectedly have a craving for yakiniku, the first person I would invite would definitely be Alice.

[Even so, you sure eat well huh.]

[Food eaten with other people’s money are just the tastiest after all.]

[You really have a good personality, you know that?]

[Whoa there, I’m flattered by your compliment. You can give me more compliments if you want.]

[You also look cute eating yakiniku.]

[Gobfuu!? Gheoook…… Wait…… What are you suddenly……]

Alice was getting carried away, but my words immediately made her choke. As usual, she has no tolerance for words like these.

[How should I say this…… I feel like I’ve been able to make you really embarrassed when you’re so caught up in the moment, Alice.]

[Can you please stop poking at my weakness…… I mean, isn’t it strange? I’ve been on many dates with Kaito-san as your lover, and I should have gotten used to things and grown up by now…… And yet, why do I feel like it’s getting harder and harder to win with each passing day!?]

[Isn’t it that? To put it simply, just as how you’re getting used to things and growing up, I was also getting used to things and was learning how to attack.]

Well, it was just as Alice said, we certainly have gone on quite a few dates. But unfortunately for her, I don’t feel like Alice has grown accustomed to things, and instead, it was me who was coming to understand when she’s vulnerable and when I should go on the offensive.

I feel like I’m getting to know Alice well enough to be confident that I won’t fall behind her, at least in these type of conversations.

[The heck is with that composed expression…… Like, it feels like you’re looking down from a high place, as if you think you’re looking at someone that can never win……]

[No, I don’t remember making that kind of face…… Hmmm.]

Looking at Alice’s face, who looked grumpy, or rather, perhaps a little flustered…… I got this mischievous urge to try a few things.

And so, I gently and suddenly reached up to Alice’s face, who was sitting opposite me, and after gently stroking her cheek, I gently traced her lips with my thumb.

It wasn’t that there was any yakiniku sauce or anything like that on Alice’s lips, but I somehow tried to act in a way that would make Alice shy……

[Unyaaahhhh!? W- What are you suddenly…… W- W- W- What are you planning to do!?]

In an instant, her face turned bright red like a boiled octopus, and her expression turned so flustered that her gaze was moving about extremely quickly……

[……No, I didn’t really have any particular reason, I just wondered how you would react…… I don’t feel like you’ve gotten used to it or grown at all though……]

[No, Kaito-san, can you please not underestimate how much of a sh*tty noob in love I am!!!? My experiences so far have only accumulated to the level of how many zeros should be added after a decimal point!!!]

[……No, like I said, I don’t really think that’s the kind of thing you’re supposed to say with such confidence……]

How should I say this…… Alice’s face turning red and her screaming was very cute, but I really have this feeling that the day when she would get used to this kind of thing would never come.

[Speaking of which, Alice.]

[W- What is it?]

[I’m going to change the subject, but in the festival in a dream I had before———- [STOOOOOOOOOPP!!!] ———-Whoaa!?]

[Listen here, Kaito-san, let’s not talk about that time so carelessly. It’s going to explode, you know? It will seriously explode.]

[W- What will?]

[Me! I will explode! I will be so embarrassed that I’m going to literally explode before regenerating afterward! I’ll warn you now, Kaito-san! If you don’t want to see something so grotesque that it will make you unable to eat yakiniku for a while, please stop talking about it immediately!]

[……You’re making quite the outrageous threat there.]

[I- I’ll make sure…… to bear this in mind…… s- so please give me some time.]

After making her final announcement in a small voice that seemed to fade away, Alice began to eat the yakiniku with great gusto, as if to cover up her embarrassment.

……The pace of the situation was quite abnormal…… but is this guy going to eat up all the meat in this restaurant?

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Uwaaaaahhhhhh!? T- There really was a Part 2…… D*mn it, you’ve gotta…… you’ve gotta be kidding me……]
