The romance movie we were assigned to watch for the Trick House task was a classic adolescent love story, and although I kinda feel like I’ve watched this before, it was still interesting to watch.
When I looked at Kuro to see how she was feeling, I found that she was watching the movie with a very serious look on her face, as if she was thoroughly digesting it, not having any sweet atmosphere around her, but with the face of the honorary president of a magic tool trading company.
Well, for Kuro, this was a chance to significantly advance the development of their Recorder Magic Tool, so it was only natural that she would bite on the opportunity. If anything, with her like this, it wouldn’t be surprising if their Recorder Magic Tool would be completed as soon as today’s date ends.
[Hmm~~ That was interesting. The images were beautiful and very impressive.]
[You were watching the show quite seriously huh, Kuro.][The movie was also interesting, but I’m more with what romance was like in another world, so I learned a lot from the movie. Well, of course, just because it’s a different world doesn’t really mean that their romance is different from ours.]
[Well, about that…… As long as the way of thinking isn’t very different, there are some aspects over there that closely resemble those in here.]
Putting aside the difference brought by science and magic, it’s not like there’s a big difference in things related to people’s emotions just because it’s two different worlds. Well, I guess that’s also why there are also some aspects that are difficult for each world to understand……
[Now then, I wonder what’s next? I’m looking forward to it~~]
[I get the feeling that Kuro’s having the most fun today.]
[For me, there are a lot of things here that I really don’t know, so everything feels fresh to me. I’ve lived quite a long time too, so I’m happy to have the opportunity to learn new things like this.]
Certainly, thinking about it again, Kuro is easily over 100,000 years old, and when it comes to this world, she probably knows almost everything. However, that wouldn’t be the case with matters related to the other world.Of course, she had probably heard some stories from Neun-san and the people who played the role of Hero, but even so, there was a big difference between hearing it and actually seeing it.
From our conversation, Neun-san was born more than 100 years before me, and if she’s someone from a century ago, modern Japan would be an unknown world for Neun-san.
[By the way, Kaito-kun. How do you go to the Tsudi realm?]
[2-D? What do you mean go there?]
[Shiro told me about it before. In the other world, you have a separate realm called Tsudi, where there are these Afexion Meters that apparently quantify emotions, right?]
[……H- Hmm…… What kind of explanation did she give you……]
From Kuro’s point of view, it seemed like she thinks that the 2-D world was like how the Demon Realm and the Human Realm are. I did hear her talking about Affection Meters and stuff back then, and knew that her information came from Shiro, but when it comes to the 2-D world…….
[When it comes to 2-D matters, I don’t feel like I can explain it professionally, so I’ll exclude some things…… but in short, it’s something like the world of stories from books. It isn’t a separate realm that actually exists.]
[Eh? Is that so!? T- Then, what about that Afexion Meter?]
[You know about our games, right? I’m sure Kuro has played some of them……]
[U- Unnn. It’s those games from that box Shiro gave to Kaito-kun, right?]
On my birthday, Shiro-san gave me a gaming device, and I played some games with Kuro. However, the games we played were focused more on party games and the like, and we’ve never played a romance game.
Well, those games are basically for a single player, so they really aren’t something that can be played together……
[There are various types of games, and there’s this genre of games called romance in which one can enjoy pseudo-love in the story. That Affection Meter isn’t something that people in the game can see, but they’re like a numerical value that players can refer to as they progress through the game.]
[I- I see…… Then, what about the fact that you can get presents by accumulating enough of this Afex…… Affection?]
[There are some games with those aspects, but to put it simply, if you accumulate a certain amount of affection, you can get items that will help you advance in the game.]
[Hehh~~ Is that so? Hmmm, it really is different hearing about it from someone who actually knows!]
Arehh? I wonder though, why didn’t I explain things like Affection Meters to Kuro until now? Perhaps there were some restrictions in place, which included this subject, due to Eden-san and Shiro-san.
Now that the restrictions have been relaxed, I can talk about this, but until then, the idea of explaining this to her hasn’t occurred to me at all. Well, it’s also possible that I simply didn’t feel like talking about this……
[By the way, what kind of game were you playing with Aoi-chan, Kaito-kun?]
[The game that Aoi-chan and I were playing was a little bit special, something that is called online game…… If I explained this, it would be more detailed……]
[Fumu fumu.]
While moving to the next room, I decided to explain the game to Kuro, who seemed to be interested in learning about various things. I’m quite fond of games myself, so once I started talking about it, I got excited and ended up explaining quite a lot, but Kuro happily listened from beginning to end.
Next time we get the opportunity, it might be fun to play some of the games I taught her.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [For Kuro’s wrong knowledge to actually be corrected here…… Unnn?]
Makina : [Cut the beef and tofu into bite-sized pieces, cut the green onions diagonally, remove the stems from the enoki and shiitake mushrooms…… and as for the garland chrysanthemum……]
Serious-senpai : [This guy is seriously making preps for the sukiyaki!?]
