<Author’s Notes>
I got home late due to overtime, so today’s chapter is a bit short.
After lying on the boat and flirting with Anima, we spent some time swimming in the sea and playing with a ball.
When we were tired after playing to some extent, we decided to have lunch, so we wiped off the water on our body with a towel and moved to our leisure sheet on the beach.
[I had a good time playing, and I’m also feeling hungry, but since it will take time if we cook now, let’s just take some food out of our magic box.][Understood. I’ll have our drinks prepared.]
[Thanks, I’m counting on you.]
My magic box contains various types of food, but considering we’re going to eat on the sandy beach, ease of consumption is also important.
And so, I’m going to prepare easy-to-eat items, mainly the instant food I received from Kuro. Anima also brought out an easy-to-drink bottled tea…… Unnn?
[……Anima, where did you get that tea?]
[Ahh, when I went back to the room earlier to prepare, Alice-dono gave me these, saying “These are good for when you’re drinking at the beach. Please ask Kaito-san about how to drink from it.”]
[……I see. Well, this certainly is suitable for drinking at the beach……]It wouldn’t be surprising if Alice knew about bottled tea, and since she knows it, she would probably know how to make it as well. And so, without thinking too deeply about it, I decided to teach Anima how to open it and drink it along with her.
And then, after eating lunch, the two of us took a break while relaxing and gazing at the sea.
[Come to think of it, what are you going to do with that ship we were talking about earlier, that one Kuromueina-sama gave Master?]
[Hmmm. It’s just too big, isn’t it? I don’t think it’s suitable for a small group of people. I think the most effective way to use it is for when we’re going to have a party on a ship.]
[I think Master hosting a party would be a good idea. Using expressing gratitude for the usual everyday things as an excuse, if Master would make good use of the ship you received, Kuromueina-sama would probably also be pleased. Master could also temporarily hire personnel to operate the ship.]
[Fumu, indeed……]
Hearing Anima’s suggestion, what she said certainly sounded like a good idea. While I have been invited to various events, I haven’t had much opportunity to host my own event, that housewarming party being the only one I could remember. That’s also, well, feels somewhat like a celebration for the completion of the house……
[Since I’m going to use the ship Kuro gave me, I’d like to think about it in earnest…… If you don’t mind, I would appreciate it if you could also give various opinions, Anima.]
[Please leave it to me! Shall I think about it under the assumption that we would be holding it right away?]
[Ahh, it would also be a good conversation topic. Let’s think about it then……]
Although it hasn’t yet been decided that a party will definitely be held on the ship, it’s quite fun to talk about it under the assumption that it will be held.
Just like that, I continued having a lively conversation with Anima about various things like where to hold it and the permissions we’d need.
<Afterword>
Makina : [Ahh, Serious-senpai! It gets tiring just eating fondue, so I also made solid chocolates. Ones that contain pop pop candies! Have some too, Serious-senpai~~]
Serious-senpai : [……How the heck am I supposed to treat this? Cannibalism? Autosarcophagy?]
Makina : [Isn’t it like how people nibble on their fingernails?]
Serious-senpai : [Stop with the metaphors that make me lose appetite! ……Ahh, this is delicious. I mean, the texture of the chocolate is incredibly smooth, and it feels like something made by someone with a lot of skill.]
Makina : [Fufun…… I am Almighty after all!]
Serious-senpai : [Annoying smug face……]
