<Author’s Notes>
I’m not feeling well, so today’s chapter is short.
I understand that the inside of the Trick House has been switched to its Advanced Mode, but how much of the contents of the Advanced Mode are really the same?
It’s quite possible that the contents of the Trick House from when I went here with Shiro-san is what was in the Advanced Mode. When I was here with Shiro-san, there was that pocky game, and compared to the mode when I went here with Alice, it can be said that this content was quite extreme.
If that’s the case, I think I can predict the contents of this new mode to some extent, but if it’s completely different though, it would be difficult for me to predict. Well, for the time being, let’s just turn our attention to this pocky game.[Well then, let’s start.]
[Unnn. I’m looking forward to it~~ How does this end?]
[……That is, well, I think it ends when you finish all of it and end up kissing.]
[Hoho.]
And thus started the pocky game with Kuro, and it felt different from when I was here with Shiro-san. Shiro-san quickly ate her way to the middle of the biscuit and stood by, but Kuro was eating a little at a time to match my pace.
Therefore, with our eyes directly looking at each other, we’re gradually getting closer to each other, which I know is what the original pocky game would make its player feel, but experiencing it myself makes me feel a bit embarrassed.
No, when I say embarrassed, it’s more about our faces approaching slowly while eating the biscuit rather than the actual kissing. As we continued eating like that, the distance between us became closer, and when she finally came a little further, Kuro stopped eating and closed her eyes in anticipation.I felt that she wanted me to come to her, so I continued to eat and put my lips on Kuro’s.
[Hnn…… Ahaha, this kinda feels a bit more embarrassing than just normal kissing.]
[That’s what I thought too. Seeing your face slowly getting closer makes me feel strangely nervous.]
[Right~~ However, that was fun. When there’s another chance, let’s do that again.]
After saying that with a happy smile, Kuro pulled my hand and started walking toward the next room. And when we arrived at the third room, the task written there was……
“Watch a 30-minute romance movie together in the posture as shown in the diagram below.”
This is a task that didn’t exist back when I went here with Shiro-san. In other words, my hypothesis regarding the Advance Mode being equal to the one I had with Shiro-san disappeared.
But well, I see…… Watching a romance movie together is something Alice considers as an advanced-level couple act huh…… However, there’s also that specification regarding posture.
Looking at the diagram, it seems like I’ll be sitting cross-legged with Kuro sitting on top of my lap. I see, this posture makes us a lot closer than when Alice and I were in the planetarium, and with the time of this task being longer than that of the planetarium task, this certainly may be considered as advanced.
[Movie!? That movie, is it that thing that uses the video technology from Kaito-kun’s world!?]
[Eh? Y- Yeah.]
[Eh? We’re really going to see a movie!!!?]
[I- I think. This amusement park was originally made by Shiro-san, so it used a lot of technology from our world……]
[Ohhh, this is great! I’ve always wanted to see it.]
Kuro’s excitement skyrocketed. For a moment, I wondered why she was reacting like that, when I remembered that Kuro…… or rather, Kuro’s Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company was developing a Recorder Magic Tool.
[Ahh, I see, because Kuro was developing Recorder Magic Tool……]
[Unnn, unnn. I have knowledge about it, but I had never seen the actual thing, so I was pretty clueless about it. I’m glad I’d be able to see the real thing here. As expected, actually seeing and experiencing the real thing makes a big difference.]
[I see. Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying it, Kuro.]
[Besides, I’m most happy that I’m able to see it with Kaito-kun. Being able to watch a movie for the first time together with Kaito-kun makes me very happy.]
[Kuro……]
Seeing Kuro’s genuinely happy smile, I felt warmth in my heart and a smile naturally appeared on my face. Indeed, this would be the first time Kuro is watching a movie…… I’m sure Kuro would be impressed, so being able to experience it together with her may be a very happy thing.
