Needless to say, Kuro is one of the Six Kings, the pinnacles of the Demon Realm, and she can practically be described as the head of the Demon Realm.
She is also the head of her family, and despite her childlike appearance, she is calm, dependable, and patientā¦ā¦ How should I say thisā¦ā¦ She often behaves in a way that is typical of elders.
In fact, as was the case at my birthday, when we went swimming at the beach and other such events, she is often the organizer when a large group of people gather, and is relied upon by many people.
Such a Kuro though, when sheās alone with me, her lover, she sometimes acts much more childish than usualā¦ā¦ If I had to describe it, she was becoming at a state where it was as if a switch of wanting to be pampered is getting turned on.
This is a side that Kuro shows only to me, and I personally feel happy seeing Kuro like this, as it confirms that Iām special to her.
[Seems like youāre in high spirits?]
As I lightly patted Kuroās head, who was giggling in a slightly sweet voice while she hugged me snugly, I asked. The feel of her silky hair and the fragrance wafting through the air is quite pleasant.
[Iām always happy when Iām with Kaito-kun at events like this. I mean, look, I couldnāt go around with you back at the White God Festival.]
[You were in the plaza as the guest of honor, right, Kuro?]
[Unnn. Well, itās difficult to go around with you because most festival-related events tend to have me as a guest of honor. This Harmonic Symphony is actually a festival of sorts, but in name, itās an event to give thanks to nature, so they wonāt invite guests of honors and stuff like that.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ Now that you mentioned it, we certainly have been together for a festival other than the Six Kings Festivalā¦ā¦ Come to think of it, Iāve been back in my world for about two years, so I didnāt really know, but was the Six Kings Festival supposed to be held every year?]
I was told that the Six Kings Festival would be held only for invited guests for the first iteration only, and after that, it would be open to the general public and would be held annually.
[Hmmm, weāve made some adjustments to that festival. I mean, the idea of receiving an invitation from us, the Six Kings, has been quite popularā¦ā¦ I thought it would be a waste to completely do away with it, so I decided to make each yearās festival open for the general public for six days, while the seventh day is for invited guests only.]
[Heehhhā¦ā¦ I mean, youāre holding that festival for 7 days each year, isnāt that a lot of work?]
[No, the succeeding festivals werenāt as elaborate as the first one, and weāre also making use of all the facilities we used on the first iteration, so it didnāt take us as much work.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ Iād like to visit the festival again.]
[Unnn, unnn! As I said before, the 7th day is invitation only and there would be fewer people, so letās go around together.]
[That sounds great, letās do that.]
[Really!? Itās a promise for the next Six Kings Festival then!]
When I agreed, Kuro brightly smiled. Sheās so cute.
[ā¦ā¦Ah, the presentation is about time to start, isnāt it? The Fairies are coming out. Kuro, are you seriously going to listen to them in that position?]
[Hmmm, I want to stay close to Kaito-kun.]
I thought about Kuroās words for a moment. I donāt really have any problem accepting Kuroās request. Itās not that I donāt like being in close contact with my lover, Kuro, either, and rather, Iām happy being like this with her.
Itās just, I would really like to watch the presentation together with her.
[Then, letās do it this way. Kuro, raise your body a little bit and change your direction like this.]
Turning Kuro around, I put a hand behind Kuroās knees, and after holding Kuro in a princess carry, I lowered her like that on my lap.
Rather than her sitting while having her on a princess carry, itās more like Kuro was sitting sideways on my lap.
[With this, weād be able to stay close together while both of us watch the presentationā¦ā¦]
[Ahh~~ Youāre right! I can also see Kaito-kunās face better like this than in the previous position, which is great!]
[No, I want you to look at the stage, not at my faceā¦ā¦]
[Hmm~~ Letās see, if Kaito-kun kisses me, I suppose I can do that?]
Hearing Kuroās somewhat happy tone of voice as she behaves like a spoiled child, I chuckled. As Kuro looked up at me with her golden eyes filled with anticipationā¦ā¦ I gently put one hand on her cheek and brought my face close to hers.
The distance between us soon became zero, partly because our bodies are close to begin with, and I felt a sweet, soft touch on my lips.
Thereupon, as if by design, the music began to play, and we could hear the beautiful music, creating a very nice atmosphere around us.
I wonder, was it because of that? I donāt know if I was just carried away by that atmosphereā¦ā¦ I had intended to kiss her lightly and immediately pull my face away from hers, but I was so enraptured by my charming lover in my arms that I kept my lips on hers for a while as we continued listening to the performance.
