Shiro-san, whose attire and atmosphere had changed, walked hand in hand with me along the streets celebrating the Founding Festival. Looking back now, it seems like there wasn’t much of a crowd from the beginning, and we were able to move smoothly. How should I say this…… The flow of people is so good that we can head in the direction we want to go.
Normally, I would think that we were lucky…… but well, such a flow of people is definitely something artificially set up, or perhaps, this was due to the power of Gods. I deeply respect their generous support, as in order to preserve Shiro-san’s new reaction from earlier, a state-of-the-art magic tool had been developed…… or so the pretext was, a magic tool which now shows a spectacle resembling sky art.
No, if this weren’t a different timeline and I had actually shifted back to the original timeline, it would seriously be baffling how many of these mysterious magic tools developed through new techniques have been created solely for this Founding Festival alone.
[Kaito-san, wouldn’t something like that be good?]
[Eh? That is…… What is that? Boxes? No, are those the back parts of a carriage?]When I looked in the direction Shiro-san was talking about, there was something like a box just to the right for two people, and a significant line had formed in front of it.
It kinda has this image of being a Ferris wheel gondola that has been detached from the wheel and placed there…… but seriously, what is that?
[It’s something resembling the Ferris wheel in Kaito-san’s world.]
[Ahh, I did think those looked a bit like Ferris wheel gondolas, but so that’s how it is…… Then, I suppose those moves?]
[Yes, it floats in the air and goes around a predetermined course around the Royal Capital.]
[I see, yeah, that’s why it seems to be so popular.]
I’ve been to the Royal Capital several times before, but I don’t recall seeing gondolas flying in the sky like this, so I guess it’s probably something they only bring out during events like the Founding Festival. It’s probably made with various barriers and magic techniques forming an equilibrium? In any case, it seems to be a rare attraction that you can only experience on occasions like this. That’s why there’s such a long queue.[It seems to be one of the top three attractions recommended for couples at this Founding Festival.]
[It feels like something contrived by someone, I mean, we just conveniently arrived in front of this ride.]
[No, I guided us here. I wanted to have a lovey-dovey date with Kaito-san after all.]
[What frightening honesty……]
The fact that Shiro-san declared “I intentionally brought you here” without any hesitation or even any attempts to deceive me is truly just like Shiro-san. I really love this honest side of her.
[……Shouldn’t you say that out loud?]
[What?]
[You know, the last part. I wouldn’t mind if you omit quite a lot of parts of your earlier thought.]
[……There’s a lot of people here, so maybe later.]
[Fumu…… Let’s just consider it good that I’ve secured a definite promise from you.]
Well, I don’t really have any hesitation when it comes to telling my lover, Shiro-san, that I love her. I’m only embarrassed to say it in such a crowded place like in front of a popular attraction at the Founding Festival. If we were alone, I could have said it as much as she wanted……
[……Hou, as much as I wanted huh?]
[Ah……]
Oops. Well, that ain’t good. This really isn’t good…… I feel like I’m seeing her excitement and joy in her eyes.
I feel like she’s gonna be demanding a lot when we’re alone together.
[……F- For the time being, let’s get in line.]
[You’re right. I’ll just look forward to having that later.]
[L- Let’s be lenient, okay……]
That was a verbal slip…… No, it’s not really verbal, but it’s because I had carelessly thought “as much as she wanted” in my mind, so I’m certainly willing to accept it, but I’d really like to have some moderation. Mainly, I’d like it if she’d keep it to the limits of a human…… No, please never use Lilia-san as the standard either……
While feeling somewhat anxious about the future, we queued up for a long time. The queue is really long, as to be expected from a popular attraction. If this attraction goes around the Royal Capital, even if they have many gondolas, it doesn’t seem like the turnover would be good and it may take us quite a long time here.
[Thank you for your patience. Well then, please allow me to explain.]
[———Fuahh!? Eh? Arehh?]
[……Customer?]
Why the heck are we at the “front of the queue” before I knew it? Why are people who were in line just a moment ago standing behind us, looking as if everything’s normal? What’s going on, it’s as if time has been erased…… No, something definitely happened here!
Shiro-san…… No, I don’t think Shiro-san did anything here. Shiro-san wouldn’t have minded too much about lining up together with me. However, when I think about whether the Gods can tolerate the act of “Shiro-san waiting in line”, it would likely be quite impossible for them, so it’s natural to assume they had intervened…… They really are too generous with their support.
