Chapter 147 - Isn't your Guard Too Loose!?

While holding pity towards Chronois-san, I swam for a while with Shiro-san…… Or rather, I just leisurely submerged myself in the sea before returning back to the beach…… where a real beach house stands.

A simple wooden exterior, and a signboard that says “Beach House”…… She perfectly recreated a beach house, even the strangely old-fashioned parts. Chronois-san, this is amazing!

When I walked in, I could even smell the tatami mats…… Seriously, how the heck did you do this?

And when I sat down across Shiro-san…… She had tied her hair into a ponytail before I knew it.

Maybe it’s to avoid having her long hair stick to the sand, but even so, I don’t know if I should say that any hairstyle looks good on her or something like that, but it’s amazing how changing her hairstyle gives her a different kind of charm.

[Shallow Vernal-sama, what would you like?]

[Well then, I would have this “Slightly Unappetizing Yakisoba”.]

(T/N: Stir-fry noodles)

[………………]

Y- Yep. The yakisoba sold in beach houses certainly is like that, but do you really have to clearly say that!? Ah, and there are some shops that sell decent ones…… perhaps. I’m sure there are some, right?

[Understood. Miyama, what do you want?]

[Errr…… Chronois-san, are you sure you can make all the food written on the menu over there?]

[There’s no problem.]

[……T- Then, I’ll have curry rice.]

[Umu.]

(T/N: I think it would have been more appropriate to call this curry and rice but meh. This isn’t rice cooked while mixing with curry roux. This is rice with curry as a side dish.)

Can she really make curry rice in such a short amount of time? N- No, it’s true that Chronois-san seems to be able to manipulate time, so it’s not like she can’t do it but…… She doesn’t really have the image of someone who’s great at cooking.

Even if I held some trepidation in my mind, just as I was about to place my order…… I felt the presence of another person with my Sympathy Magic.

I see…… Chronois-san asked for help from her huh.

If that’s the case, then it seems like the food that comes out would be perfectly fine.

As if to confirm my prediction, curry rice and yakisoba were immediately placed in front of me and Shiro-san.

When I took a bite of the curry rice after saying my thanks for the meal…… I found that even the slightly cheap taste was perfectly recreated, just as you’d expect from “Ein-san”.

Indeed, this curry rice is unmistakably the curry rice that could be bought from a beach house.

[Shiro-san, what do you think?]

[It’s slightly unappetizing. I see, so this is the beach house’s yakisoba huh.]

[……or rather, you’re eating with a fork huh.]

[I’ve never used chopsticks before. But that’s true, isn’t it? You can’t really eat yakisoba unless you use chopsticks, can you?]

[……No, I don’t really think that’s the case though?]

Shiro-san was using a fork to eat the yakisoba as if it were spaghetti.

Chopsticks aren’t common for the people in this world, so I don’t really have a strange meaning when I mentioned that, I just meant it as a simple small talk but……. in the next moment, Shiro-san began saying something unbelievable.

[Well then, Kaito-san. “Feed me” with your chopsticks.]

[……What?]

[I would like to try eating it with chopsticks, so feed me.]

[N- No, as expected, that’s kinda……]

[I would like to try eating it with chopsticks, so feed me.]

[H- However……]

[I would like to try eating it with chopsticks, so feed me.]

[……Understood.]

Please stop saying that on repeat. It’s seriously scary……

Hmmm, I feel like I’ve been through lots of shame play today.

However, it’s really fortunate that there are only Chronois-san and Ein-san in this beach house.

Giving up, I picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks from the table…… Or rather, she even made disposable chopsticks? You really have it all down to a tee, Chronois-san.

Eh, wait a minute? She’s asking me to feed her but…… While I’m sitting here facing you? Maybe it’s because this table is so big, but it looks like it’s going to be very difficult to do……

[Why don’t you just sit next to me?]

[……E- Errr…… A- Alright.]

I can certainly feed her easily if I just sit next to her but…… On a serious note, Shiro-san is currently in a swimsuit and her bare skin is very revealing.

It takes a lot of determination for me to sit next to her while she’s like that but…… I obviously can’t say no here since she would just keep going on an endless repeat like a broken record.

Finding resolve, I got up from my seat and sat down next to Shiro-san…… but the scene while sitting next to her far exceeded my expectations.

Sitting next to Shiro-san, who is almost the same height as me, putting aside her beautiful, glossy hair, I could clearly see her breasts, which were creating a deep cleavage.

Her skin looked so beautiful and soft, a pleasant scent that seems to be wafting out from somewhere, and a beautiful face that I can’t even hope to describe even as she’s right next to me…… I know it myself, that my heart is pounding really fast right now.

C- Calm down, it will be alright.

Sitting down with some appropriate space between us, I just need to pay attention to where I’m looking at……

[……………]

[Wha!?]

Why did you come so close that our shoulders are almost touching each other!? Even though I took care of getting a good distance between us!?

As our bare skins almost touch each other, my heart leaped up even higher, but Shiro-san doesn’t seem particularly bothered and remained expressionless.

C- Calm down, keep calm and composed…… Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath and……

However, Shiro-san didn’t allow me to keep calm at all.

[You’re trying that hard to do that, are these two really good things?]

Curiously tilting her head, without hesitation, Shiro-san took my hand…… and brought it to her breast——- Ehhhhhh!?

[Ehh? Wha!?!? S- Sh- Shiro-san, w- w- what are you!?]

[Well, it looks like you’re looking at them with great interest.]

[ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? ]

What the heck is this person doing!? H- How sof…… isn’t what I should be thinking!? T- T- This is bad, this is bad, I- I- I should pull away my hand, or it will totally be sexual harassment……

[If you want to touch them, I don’t really mind, you know?]

[Can you stop saying that!? A- Anyway! My hand!? Please let it go!?]

[Alright.]

Frantically screaming as I feel my face burning hot, Shiro-san simply lets go of my hand.

I- I can still feel it in my hand…… What the heck is with that outrageously airheaded move she did there!? I thought she would burn out all of my reasoning in an instant!

However, the person in question, Shiro-san…… doesn’t seem to be bothered at all, and holds out the plate of yakisoba to me.

[Then, feed me.]

[……Yes.]

While experiencing the sensation of my spirit being whittled away, I look down and accept the plate, unable to look at Shiro-san’s face properly.

Grabbing some yakisoba with the chopsticks, I bring it to Shiro-san’s mouth.

[I see, I guess it tastes better to eat it with chopsticks huh.]

[I- I- Is that so……]

[However, doesn’t this mean that Kaito-san can’t eat your curry rice?]

[Ah, no, that can wait……]

[That’s why, here.]

[Wha!?]

After telling me her impressions in the same intonationless voice, Shiro-san takes my plate of curry rice, scoops some with a spoon and holds it out to me.

W- Wait a moment!? Is this actually that!? You’re not suggesting that we should take turns feeding each other or something like that, right?

[Yes.]

[N- No, I’m fine……]

[Here.]

[……………..]

[Here.]

[……T- Thank you for the food.]

Shiro-san really wouldn’t give in. I have no choice but to surrender and let my face boil before this shame play.

Eating the curry rice Shiro-san offers me, I now feed her some of the yakisoba.

Dear Mom, Dad—— I’m having lunch with Shiro-san at the beach house…… or so it should have been, but I’ve been really swept along here. Seriously, I don’t know if it’s just that Shiro-san is an airhead or not , but how should I say this…… Anyway—— Isn’t your guard too loose!?

[This is just something specially for you.]

[……Like I said, could you not say something like that…….]

<Author’s Notes>

Chronois: “Please, Ein! There’s no one else I can count on!”

Ein: “……Please don’t do that. You bowing your head to me is really creepy. I understand, I will cooperate.”

Chronois: “Sorry, I’m in your debt.”

Ein: “Putting that aside…… What’s with that outfit?”

Chronois: “This just shows my utmost devotion…… Don’t touch me.”

They may have such a conversation… or maybe not.

They’re just flirting all over the place…… Go explode, Kaito.
