Chapter 419: Apparently, There was a Battle That Happened Behind the Scenes

It was a scene that could have been straight out of an apocalypse.

With a roar, the earth cracked, the air swirled, and people ran for cover…… With those descriptions, did you think that I was talking about a war? No, I'm talking about a "rock-paper-scissors tournament".

Right in front of me was an arena filled with craters, littered with places that were on the verge of collapsing, but the place was somehow able to maintain its original shape.

Can you believe this? Everyone was just playing rock-paper-scissors, you know? Moreover, it all started just because of a badly-made clay sculpture that I made……

There was no way that an ordinary person like me could intervene in the battle called rock-paper-scissors, which had completely become some kind of ultra-dimensional sport…… I just prayed to God that my black history would not fall into the hands of someone troublesome.

However, my wish was scoffed at by the God I prayed to.

The most troublesome person in the world got her hands on it! For the airhead Shiro-san to acquire it, that was almost the worst outcome of all. The worst thing that could have happened was for it to fall into Eden-san's hands, but this was still the second worst situation of all.

Alice and Fate-san were still doing their shameless live commentary and analysis, even though the audience had already fled. The only ones left here were the ones I knew.

But then again, I'm feeling complicated only because of what they're fighting about…… but it was a really fierce battle.

Well, I couldn't see anyone doing attacks or defends at all, but I could hear the explosions and the ground being gouged out.

Kuro beat Eden-san in the semifinals, but she seemed to have worn herself out and lost to Shiro-san in the finals.

Shiro-san's opponent in the semifinals was Fate-san, but Fate-san forfeited, and Shiro-san managed to win without tiring herself during that match. Well, it was really as Fate-san said. Kuro was just not blessed with luck.

[……Errr, thank you. Lillywood-san.]

"No, I'm just glad that Kaito-san is uninjured."

Incidentally, Lillywood-san protected me, Lilia-san and the others, so we didn't get injured.

By the way, Shiro-san? I know you can hear me, right? I'd really like it if you could promptly hand over my black history back to me, you know?

(On one condition.)

……I knew that this would be the case. I had a feeling that this would happen. I have a bad feeling about what you're going to say, but please say what you want.

(I'm feeling troubled about how to spend my time on the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival.)

……Errr, that means……

(I'm feeling troubled about how to spend my time on the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival.)

This is that, all over again, isn't it? This means I'm supposed to say that, right?

(I'm feeling troubled about how to spend my time on the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival.)

S- Shiro-san…… Well, if it's okay with you, Shiro-san……

On the seventh day of the Six Kings Festival, could we hang out together……

(Date.)

……Could I ask you to go on a date with me?

(If Kaito-san so insists, I guess I will reluctantly consider it.)

I- I really want to go on a date with Shiro-san. I'm begging you.

(It can't be helped. If you're going to go that far, I guess we could go on a date.)

…… I feel like I've lost extremely. It seems that Shiro-san is fixated with a situation where I ask her out, so much so that she would even shamelessly lead the conversation to that…… What a frightening person she is.

(If the date turns out to be a fun one, I might even give this clay sculpture to Kaito-san.)

……But, I'll do my best.

I mean, I just want to ask you one thing. Why are you going that far……

(That's because Kaito-san is neglecting me.)

U- Unnn? W- What are you talking about?

(Kaito-san "invited Earth God", but you didn't invite me even when you were heading towards this place.)

No, no!? You know that's impossible! I mean, there's also Lilia-san and the others with us, you know? If Shiro-san appears, Lilia-san would totally faint!

(Even when "I'm just staying one floor below yours", Kaito-san didn't come to see me.)

That's totally the first time I've heard it, you know!? Eh? I mean, Shiro-san is staying in the Central Tower!? You don't stay the night back in the Sanctuary!?

(I stayed there so that I could "sleep with Kaito-san". But last night, I didn't have a chance to do that because of Kuro. She was also "obstructing" me when I tried teleporting while you were in the onsen.)

A surprising new fact just came out! What the heck are you trying to do!? I mean, such a battle happened without my knowledge!?

(Incidentally, "Earth God also tried doing that". She was also stopped by Kuro though……)

Thank you so much, Kuro!!! I'll definitely do something to express my thanks to her next time! Please keep that up and hold them off for the remaining six days!!!

(Just Kuro is unfair.)

No, even if you say it's unfair…… I'll do my best to make sure that we have a fun date, so please excuse me from that. You'll kill off my reasoning if you join in.

(Mnhh.)

Even though she was cutely sulking, that's something I couldn't let pass, so I had to devote my efforts to persuading Shiro-san for a while after that.

Dear Mom, Dad———– After the fierce battle, I thought the first day would be over with that, but then, I was told a shocking new fact. It seems that last night————- Apparently, there was a battle that happened behind the scenes.

Shiro-san originally became a sponsor on the condition that she would go around the seventh day together with Kaito…… but it seems that the God of Creation really want Kaito to invite her on a date. How cute.

This time is Hina-chan, whose character rough draft appeared 9th.
