Chapter 571 - I Think That Part of Her was Cute
Following the target shooting, s.h.i.+ro-san and I came to that place Lillywood-san and I went around together…… the gigantic labyrinth made of flowers. That attraction seemed to be very popular and unlike the target practice, it was mentioned in the guidebook.
[We’ve arrived huh.]
[We have arrived. Well then, Kaito-san.]
[Yes?]
[“Please start getting lost”.]
[……Eh?]
Whoa there, s.h.i.+ro-san suddenly started saying something strange. Well, it’s not like I thought that I’d be able to peacefully go around with s.h.i.+ro-san…… but asking me to get lost around this place again…… Hmmm, as expected of s.h.i.+ro-san. Her way of thinking is unlike normal people.
[You compliment me.]
[No, I wasn’t complimenting you.]
[I see…… Well then, please start getting lost.]
[Errr, incidentally, can I ask the reason why?]
[Kaito-san, who challenged this labyrinth in the middle of the Six Kings Festival, got lost in this place quite a bit.]
[Y- Yes, that did happen.]
[That’s why I think it would be “unfair” if you don’t get lost while walking around with me.]
[I se…… Unnn?]
That is…… unfair? Oh no, I’m getting confused too. I mean, even if she tells me that, I think it would be difficult for me to get lost in this labyrinth on purpose.
If this flower labyrinth was the same one I had experienced before, I would be able to move through it rather quickly and finish it, even if I couldn’t completely remember the whole labyrinth.
[It’s okay if Kaito-san just challenges it like normal. I believe that Kaito-san will be able to get lost.]
[That’s an unpleasant trust you have there…… No, no, there’s no way I would get lost that many times, you know?]
[……………….]
[Gununu……]
Even though she should have been expressionless, her eyes looked as if she was sure I would definitely get lost…… D*mn it, watch me closely, okay!? Since you see it like that, I’ll show you how I can clear this labyrinth quickly.
Challenging the Flower Labyrinth, filled with determination…… half an hour has pa.s.sed. Now, in front of me was a wall of flowers, blocking my view…… In short, I’m at a dead end.
[……s.h.i.+ro-san, what do you think?]
[I think it’s better if you turn on the “7th corner earlier”.]
[……Yes.]
What is this feeling of defeat…… This is strange, looking at the entrance, I saw that this place had the same flower composition as when I came with Lillywood-san, so I thought the directions would be the same……
Somehow, even though I was going in what I thought was the correct order from the middle of the labyrinth onwards, I kept on running into dead ends.
Even though I should have known the directions by the type of flowers after Lillywood-san taught me about it……
[……s.h.i.+ro-san, there’s something I’d like to ask you.]
[What is it?]
[……”Did you switch the type of flower at the forks in the road”?]
[……Now then, let’s go back.]
[………………..]
You really are the culprit!? Do you really want me to get lost that much!?
[Yes.]
[……You didn’t even hesitate with your response……]
Why does she want me to be lost that badly? Since it’s s.h.i.+ro-san, it’s hard to believe that she’s doing this because she’s being mean. If that’s the case, then she must have some kind of purpose……
[It seems like you’re feeling troubled a lot, aren’t you, Kaito-san?]
[And whose fault did you think it is……?]
[I dunno?]
[………………..]
[However, there’s actually an easy way for Kaito-san to break through this labyrinth.]
[……Unnn?]
[I think you should “ask someone reliable for help”.]
Ahh, hearing what she said made me understand now. I now understood why s.h.i.+ro-san was trying to make me get lost…… That means, this person……
[I don’t know who that someone is though. How mysterious. I wonder if she’s around here somewhere? Someone who knows the answers to the maze and can be counted on to help……]
[……………………]
What a barefaced appeal, that is. Moreover, it’s matching pomp in terms of the situation. D- Did she really want to be relied on that much?
[Yes. Kaito-san doesn’t rely on me very often. That’s why I am very dissatisfied.]
[Errr…… S- s.h.i.+ro-san…… Please help me.]
[I guess it couldn’t be helped. It’s a request from none other than Kaito-san after all. I will show you the way.]
This was clearly something she had set up, but I just gave up and asked s.h.i.+ro-san for help…… s.h.i.+ro-san replied in the same intonationless voice.
However, her face was…… turned up, though it may only be a few millimeters, and I kind of felt like she had a smug look on her face.
[With me as your guide, Kaito-san will never run into a dead end again.]
[H- Huhh…… Errr, ummm, I’m counting on you.]
[From now on, when you are in trouble, please don’t hesitate to rely on me. I’ll be happy to help.]
[…………………]
Feeling like she’s quite cheerful, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or not, but it seemed like she was talking more than usual…… S- She really wanted me to rely on her that much huh……
[Yes.]
Again, there was no hesitation in her reply.
[You don’t consider me at all, Kaito-san.]
[N- No, it’s not like that is……]
[You don’t consider me at all, Kaito-san.]
[……I understand. I’ll rely on s.h.i.+ro-san more from now on.]
[You can count on me.]
I feel like she’s somehow puffing out her chest. H- Hmmm, I guess I could say that s.h.i.+ro-san is a caring person. It’s hard to imagine from her appearance, but her personality is surprisingly childlike.
How should I say this…… For better or for worse, she is honest about her feelings…… But well, I guess that’s probably s.h.i.+ro-san’s most attractive charm.
At the very least, even as my expression naturally turns into a wry smile, it was clear to me that spending time with s.h.i.+ro-san wasn’t a bad idea.
Dear Mom, Dad——— This world’s G.o.d of Creation, even though her expression is hard to read, is honest to her desires and a bit selfish…… but how should I say this————- I think that part of her was very cute.
? ? ? : [Eh? Serious-senpai? She received Under King’s Purgatory Spear, and was lying over there. Well~~ How unfortunate~~ We’ve lost someone dear in our hearts.]
Serious-senpai : [I’m not dead yet, okay!?]
