After playing badminton with Alice in the plaza, we decided to have dinner together as promised.
How should I say thisā¦ā¦ Although it was just my personal feeling, I feel that some meals suit people while some donāt.
For example, Liliaās taste 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, are high school students, so I think parfaits suit them well. I mean, perhaps itās because Hina-chan loves parfaits and I sometimes see her eating them.
I think foods that could be eaten while walking really suits Kuro, while Isis-san looks better when sheās drinking tea than when sheās eating.
Well, putting aside whether they like the food or not, I think there are meals that suit each personā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦Omnomnom, ahh, Kaito-san, this oneās already grilled.]
But I donāt Iāve 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 butā¦ā¦
The image brought out by her character may have been too strongā¦ā¦ 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 definitely invite would be Alice.
[Even so, you sure eat well huh.]
[Food eaten with other peopleās money are just the tastiest after all.]
[You really have a good personality, you know that?]
[Whoa there, Iām flattered by your compliment. You can give me more compliments if you want.]
[You also look cute eating yakiniku.]
[Gobfuu!? Gheoookā¦ā¦ Waitā¦ā¦ What are you suddenlyā¦ā¦]
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 thisā¦ā¦ I feel like Iāve been able to make you really embarrassed when youāre so caught up in the moment, Alice.]
[Can you please stop poking at my weaknessā¦ā¦ I mean, isnāt it strange? Iāve been on many dates with Kaito-san as your lover, and I should have gotten used to things and grown up by nowā¦ā¦ And yet, why do I feel like itās getting harder and harder to win with each passing day!?]
[Isnāt it that? To put it simply, just as how youāre 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 dates quite a few times. But unfortunately for her, I donāt feel as if Alice has grown accustomed to things, and instead, it was me who was coming to understand when sheās vulnerable if and when I go on the offensive.
I feel like Iām getting to know Alice well enough to be confident that I will not fall behind her, at least in this type of conversation.
[The heck is with that composed expressionā¦ā¦ Like, it feels like youāre looking down from a high place, as if you think youāre looking at someone that can never winā¦ā¦]
[No, I donāt remember making that kind of faceā¦ā¦ Hmmm.]
Looking at Aliceās face, who looked grumpy, or rather, perhaps a little flusteredā¦ā¦ I got this mischievous urge to try a few things.
And so, I gently and suddenly reached up to Aliceās face, who was sitting opposite me, and after gently stroking her cheek, I gently traced her lips with my thumb.
It wasnāt that there was any yakiniku sauce or anything like that on Aliceās lips, but I somehow tried to act in a way that would make Alice shyā¦ā¦
[Unyaaahhhh!? W- What are you suddenlyā¦ā¦ 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 extremely moving aboutā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦No, I didnāt really have any particular reason, I just wondered how you would reactā¦ā¦ I donāt feel like you got used to it or grown at all thoughā¦ā¦]
[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!!!]
[ā¦ā¦No, like I said, I donāt really think thatās the kind of thing youāre supposed to say with such confidenceā¦ā¦]
How should I say thisā¦ā¦ Aliceās face turning red and 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.]
[Iām going to change the subject, but in the festival in a dream I had before- [STOOOOOOOOOPP!!!] -Whoaa!?]
[Listen here, Kaito-san, letās not talk about that time so carelessly. Itās going to explode, you know? It would seriously explode.]
[Me! I will explode! I will be so embarrassed that Iām going to literally explode before regenerating afterward! Iāll warn you now, Kaito-san! If you donāt want to see something grotesque that will make you unable to eat yakiniku for a while, please stop talking about it immediately!]
[ā¦ā¦Youāre making quite the outrageous threat there.]
[I- Iāll make sureā¦ā¦ to bear this in mindā¦ā¦ 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.
ā¦ā¦The pace of the situation was quite abnormalā¦ā¦ but is this guy going to eat up all the meat in this restaurant?
