Chapter 1403 - A Night Spent with Sieg ⑥

Chapter 1403 - A Night Spent with Sieg ⑥

As a luxury inn, this place has been provided with a full lineup of beverages and other amenities, including tools for brewing authentic coffee if you have the right beans.

I often drink tea, but I think coffee is better in the morning because it helps awaken me, and coffee does taste better in the morning.

I started brewing coffee using the coffee beans that Ozma-san gave me. I heard that there are some tricks to grinding coffee beans, but I’m not very familiar with those tricks, so I just used a magic tool that automatically brews coffee from beans.

[Sieg-san, would you like a cup of coffee?]

[Coffee? I don’t actually haven’t drank much of those.]

[Ahh, Sieg-san likes tea, right? In that case, tea would be better then.]

[Ahh, no, since you’ve already brewed some, I’ll have some coffee. It’s not like I don’t like coffee.]

I thought I blundered by brewing coffee for the tea-loving Sieg-san, but it seems like it wasn’t that she dislikes coffee, so I prepared two mugs and poured coffee in both.

As I placed them on the table by the window where the morning sun was shining in, Sieg-san, who had just finished changing out of her pajamas, took the seat across from mine.

[Thank you very much.]

[Yes. We have sugar and milk provided here, so use them if you want to add some.]

[Yes…… Let’s see. I think I will add a little amount of both in it.]

Sieg-san, a slightly sweet coffee drinker, began to drink her coffee with a few amounts of sugar and milk. I’m not really fussy with my coffee, but I’m kind of in the mood for black right now, so I’m drinking my coffee black at the moment.

The moderate bitterness spreads in my mouth, and combined with the morning sunlight, it’s indescribably pleasant.

[By the way, Kaito-san.]

[Yes?]

[What are we having for breakfast? It seems that they’re serving some on the first floor of this inn……]

[Hmmm, let’s see. I’m fine with eating over there, but we can also go out and find a cafe.]

This is a rather troubling decision to make. We’re in a high-class inn and the food here would probably be good, but I’m not really that hungry, so taking a leisurely morning stroll and looking for a restaurant is appealing in its own way.

As I thought about this for a while, I turned to Sieg-san and our eyes unintentionally met, and we somehow exchanged a smile with each other.

[……Let’s see. Since we’re at it, why don’t we go outside? If Sieg-san doesn’t mind, would you like to go sightseeing after breakfast? We weren’t able to look around leisurely yesterday after all.]

[That sounds nice. I agree.]

The topic was soon settled, and it was decided that we would eat breakfast outside and head straight to a date. This city seems to be a tourist spot, so there should be various places we could look around.

The Monster Racetrack is apparently open for business, so whether we were going to place bets or not, going there to watch the races might be a good idea.

Having such thoughts in mind, after putting away the mug cup that we finished drinking from, I grabbed the parka I had set aside and put it on. Thereupon, at that moment, Sieg-san approached me, looking like she suddenly noticed something.

[Kaito-san, there’s a lint……]

[Eh? Where———-]

[Chyuuu……]

[———Eh?]

The moment I heard Sieg-san’s words and tried to search for it, Sieg-san came closer to my face and after I momentarily felt softness on my lips, I saw Sieg-san with a mischievous smile on her face.

[Sorry…… I lied.]

[Ahaha, I was slightly surprised…… Sieg-san doing things like this is rather unusual. No, it’s not that I don’t like it or anything like that though……]

Sieg-san’s innocent look looked cute, but it seemed somewhat unusual. Thereupon, Sieg-san blushed a bit, and scratching her cheek with her finger, she lowered her head and spoke.

[……No, I guess you could say I just wanna catch you off guard…… Hmmm. I don’t know how to say this…… I should have secretly prepared various things, including our lodging, but I feel like Kaito-san had been leading me from beginning to end, so I suppose this was just about the pride of being the older one here.]

[Hmmm, is that so? Including the Interaction Event and our stay at the inn, it seems that Sieg-san took the initiative…… Rather, it felt more like I always end up being behind with everything, so the way I see it, I was finally able to take the lead after we came here in the inn. And so……]

[Eh? Ahh, hnn.]

[……This one too is something like returning the favor……]

Following Sieg-san’s earlier actions as an example, I surprised her back with a kiss, to which Sieg-san looked blankly for a moment before she happily smiled.

[I wonder why? I feel like I slightly lost…… However, if I strike back here again, there won’t be any end to this, so I’ll leave returning it back later.]

[I see it’s already settled that you’re returning it back huh.]

[Yes. It’s already settled.]

After saying that with a smile, Sieg-san took my hand and started walking.

[Now, let’s go then.]

[I suppose so. Alright.]

Seeing Sieg-san happily smiling makes me feel happy too. As I was having such a thought in mind, I went out of the room and left for our date, my hand entwined with Sieg-san’s hand.

<Afterword>

【Serious-senpai is currently being frozen】

? ? ? : [Hmmm, how long do I have to freeze her there? The fact that Serious-senpai isn’t available though…… I wonder, would the next chapter be something not sweet?]
