Well, whether our departure method is Pattern A and B, it will not make that much difference. In the end, the Founding Festival is very lively, making it difficult for us to meet up on-site, so itās more likely to arrange to meet up beforehand.
No, Shiro-san would be able to meet up with me in any way she wanted, but that didnāt mean there was anything wrong with that.
After finishing a delicious breakfast, we chit-chatted a bit, and at the right moment, we set off.
[Itās almost time for the festival to start, so shall we head out?]
[Indeed. It may now indeed be a good time to depart.]
Nodding at my suggestion, Shiro-san got up from her seat. Thereupon, the table and chairs disappeared and our preparations for departure were ready in an instant.
All thatās left to do is to head to the venue with Shiro-sanās Teleportationā¦ā¦ but Shiro-san just stares at me, showing no sign of intending to teleport.
Iāll say this now, but itās impossible for me to teleport the two of us myself. The Sanctuary has strong teleportation inhibitors, so normal Teleportation Magic Tools canāt be used here. I have the gate-type magic tool in my room that allows teleportation to the Sanctuary, but I can only use it to return from the Sanctuary, not to teleport to other locations from there.
[ā¦ā¦Umm, Shiro-san? Arenāt we leaving?]
[We will, but before that, arenāt you forgetting something important?]
[Eh? Something important?]
What is it? I just couldnāt immediately think of what she was talking about. Itās just, from my hunch based on my days together with Shiro-san, I just knew that she was going to say something strange.
[We canāt leave without our before-departure-kiss.]
Whoa, so thatās whatās popping out huh. I see, I see, that certainly is a classicā¦ā¦ Can I throw my tsukkomi now? Thatās for the scenario where one person is leaving and the other person is seeing them off, isnāt it!?
At least, itās not the kind of thing two people do when theyāre about to head out together.
[Fumu, is that how it is?]
[No, well, that scenario is more for newlyweds rather than a couple living together, but itās certainly a common situation for when theyāre about to depart, a classic even. Itās just, it isnāt really the kind of situation for when two people were departing together.]
[Even if it simply said ābefore departureā, it can have various meanings depending on the context huh. I see, itās quite complex, isnāt it?]
[No, we still havenāt had our before-departure-kiss, so we canāt depart yet.]
ā¦ā¦Well, thatās strange, are we going on a loop here? I should have explained that that doesnāt apply in the current situation, to which Shiro-san agreed and nodded.
And yet, with you responding with almost the same words, what was that āI seeā of yours earlier responding to!?
[No, I understood exactly what Kaito-san meant. Including the fact that it doesnāt apply in the current situation.]
[Leaving that aside, I still want to kiss, so understanding that and not kissing are two separate issues.]
I probably have a face that clearly looks speechless right now. Without any particular logic or reasoning behind it, it was a simple, straightforward response powering her way forward which can sometimes feel refreshing.
No, I fully understood what she was saying, but when she said āLeaving that aside, I still want to kissāā¦ā¦ I couldnāt really bring out any counter arguments from my side.
[ā¦ā¦Errr, t- then, if youāll excuse me for a bit.]
[Enough with all that excuse meās and just go ahead already.]
[No, thatās a bitā¦ā¦]
Faced with Shiro-sanās gaze, expectantly looking at me, I conceded defeat. Following Shiro-sanās request, I placed my hand on her shoulders and gently leaned in for a light, chaste kiss on her lips.
If itās a before-departure-kiss, then something like this would be appropriateā¦ā¦ Also, kissing Shiro-san is something so pleasurable that it can be dangerous if I donāt consciously decide how far to go beforehand, as it can be hard to stop once I start kissing her.
[Itās not like you have to stop though? These are lips you are free to do as you pleased, you know?]
[ā¦ā¦F- For the time being, letās just depart!]
Itās both charming and somewhat terrifying that Shiro-san can casually say things like that. Feeling my face flush a bit, I headed towards Hydra Kingdom once again, this time to experience their Founding Festival with Shiro-san.
Serious-senpai: [S- She actually went with a surprise attack. T- Throwing a curveball right from the start, this guy really is dangerousā¦ā¦]
