Although I’m going through the Trick House’s Advanced Mode with Kuro, I felt that this was less extreme, perhaps because this was just Alice’s idea of an Advanced Mode.
No, there certainly was more physical contact than when I went around with Alice, but still, how should I say this…… This is just a guess, but it felt like Alice had assumed that she too would eventually challenge this mode, and although I don’t know how to express it properly, I get this impression that “it’s at a level where Alice is really doing her best with herself as the basis”.
[……U- Unnn? This is…… What is this?]
[Now this is another over-the-top thing she set up……]
[No, umm, but the difference in our physical abilities is just too big…… Should I adjust it?]Kuro and I had slightly bewildered expressions in front of the task written in the room we reached after going through several rooms. Incidentally, the task this time……
“Conduct a game of chase on the beach in the special room on the right, stop when the boyfriend catches the girlfriend, and then sit back and watch the sunset ※ Outfit change to Swimsuit”
It’s a situation that is so over-the-top that you don’t even see this in romance movies these days. However, putting aside me and Alice, Kuro doesn’t seem to understand this template…… After all, what she was more concerned about now seemed to be if I could actually catch her.
Certainly, there was no way I could catch up with her in a normal game of chase, so I explained to Kuro that this game of chase was just playing around, and in the end, the role Kuro would be playing would be caught on purpose.
[I see…… Come to think of it, wasn’t there a scene like that in that romance novel Isis had before?]
[Well, if books talk about playing on the beach, it’s no wonder for a scene like this to pop up, and it’s not like this is something unique to the other world, so I think it wouldn’t be strange to see him in romance novels or something like that.]
[I see, I see…… Even so, hmmm…… I see now.]Hearing the story from me, Kuro nodded, seemingly convinced, but she had an expression as if she was thinking about something. I wonder what it is? This is just my hunch, but I feel like she’s plotting something bad.
As I thought that, Kuro snapped her fingers. Thereupon, Kuro’s coat spread wide, and swimsuits of various forms appeared there.
[Kaito-kun, which swimsuit do you think would be great?]
[Eh?]
[When we went swimming last time, I ended up wearing the same one as Shiro…… so I thought I’d let Kaito-kun choose it this time. I’d like to wear the swimsuit Kaito-kun chooses.]
[I- I see…… The instructions did say to change to swimsuits.]
There are so many swimsuits lined up in front of me that I think she got all kinds of swimsuits prepared here. Kuro said that she’s gonna wear the swimsuit I chose but, hmmm, I can’t choose.
To be honest, I think that any of them would look good on her, but I personally like swimsuits with pareos…… but that would be too similar to the one she wore the last time we went to the beach.
I mean, in the first place, the fact that Shiro-san was wearing a swimsuit with pareo is probably the result of her reading my memory and choosing a swimsuit that I like.
If I choose among the swimsuits different from the one she wore back then, I guess it would be this simple bikini? I think the cute type with frills would look great on her, but somehow, I feel like it’s better to keep it simple this time.
I mean, there are some pretty risque swimsuits lined up here, but I think the more subdued ones are those that suit Kuro……
[……How about this?]
[Fumu fumu, a simple black bikini huh.]
[I somehow feel like this kind of subdued design suits Kuro better…… Well, I think it would look good on you no matter what you wear though.]
[I’ll go with this then. It seems like it would be to move around in this, so it certainly feels like it’s suitable for the game of chase and the stuff after that.]
[……Stuff after that?]
[Fufufu, let’s just leave that for later.]
I’m not really sure, but I still feel like she’s plotting something. While I was feeling a little uneasy, we moved to the next room, and there was a sandy beach and the sea.
[……Space Magic sure is useful.]
[Only a few people in the world can do it this well though.]
[I see…… Wait, you’re so fast!? You’ve changed your clothes already?]
[Rather than changing clothes, I just changed the shape of the clothes I usually wear.]
[Ah~~ Wearing clothing made of magic power feels convenient at times like this huh…… Then, I’ll go change my clothes for a sec.]
[Unnn. I’ll be waiting~~]
As for my change of clothes, there is no such thing as a changing room, but if I go back to the room we were in earlier and change there, there’s no problem. I already have a swimsuit in my magic box, so I just change in it and put my clothes back into my magic box.
[Sorry for the wait.]
[No. There’s no problem…… By the way, what do you think? I’m wearing the swimsuit you chose, Kaito-kun.]
[Unnn. Just like usual, or rather, just as I thought, you’re absurdly cute. I mean, you also tied your hair in a short ponytail huh.]
[Ehehe, thanks. I think this hairstyle looks better with this swimsuit.]
Kuro, who wore a black bikini, had a youthful physique but she has a somewhat mature look, and with the atmosphere Kuro has around her, she looked quite attractive.
Although we are here for a task, the atmosphere around us feels as if the two of us really came to the beach…… The only thing I’m bothered about now though is what Kuro is planning to do.
Well, since it’s Kuro we’re talking about here, I don’t think it would be something I dislike…… Hmmm, I wonder what that is though?
<Afterword>
Makina: [I got it!!!]
Serious-senpai : [What!? What are you on to now, Mad God!?]
Makina: [There was a specification for the game of chase, but there was nothing specified about how they’re posture when watching the sunset afterwards! That’s the answer!!!]
Serious-senpai : [……In other words, it’s gonna be a sweet development?]
Makina : [Perhaps. Anyhow, I’ll get the fire ready. Seems like the sugar would come soon anyway.]
