1478 - April Fool's Day Extra Chapter : "I etc Part 4"
It was a day that I had no particular plans in mind. There was no reason about it. I just remembered that somehow, I woke up in the morning feeling better than usual.
After finishing breakfast, I was having a cup of tea in my room and thinking about what I was going to do today, when a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
[Fuaa!? I appeared indoors this time!? I just left my room only to appear in another room…… I mean, is my exit point just randomized?]
[………………..]
I thought for a moment that it was Shea-san because of her appearance, but the strange tension in his speech right afterward made me realize that it wasn’t Shea-san, but Senpai.
Serious-senpai, a strange person who looks exactly like Shea-san, who just suddenly appears once a year.
[……Why did you suddenly appear in my room, Senpai?]
[Uwahh!? Wait, if it isn’t Kaito…… Ahh, I guess that means this is Kaito’s room…… Fumu. Well, in the end, I will just end up meeting Kaito anyway, so I guess this is just right, saving us time.]
[How highly adaptable you are……]
But she didn’t answer my question. But well, from that soliloquy earlier, my guess is that she had just somehow come out here from the door of her room that opens only once a year.
Rather, my house originally should have a Teleportation Inhibition Ward protecting it, so it should have been impossible for people to teleport here…… but well, Serious-senpai somehow has a different set of rules applied to her being, or rather, she’s a strange person, so it might be useless to think about her with my common sense. I mean, we’re talking about someone who has a strange and dangerous God in the same room……
[Well, since you came all the way here, how about some tea?]
[T- Thanks…… Even if you say all that, you’re pretty adaptable too huh.]
[I’m just used to sudden situations.]
[Yeah, I get you. Even if you don’t want to accumulate it, you just somehow get all those experience points, which makes you able to calm down and deal with things that calm your way.]
[I really get you.]
Apparently, Serious-senpai is also someone who gets caught up in various things, so there was weight in her earnest words. She basically should be stuck in a room that she can only come out of once a year, but for various things to happen in that room, there seems to be no end to the things she had to ponder about.
[Ahh, that’s right. Here, I brought you a souvenir.]
[Eh? I’m sorry for having you go out of your way to do that. Well, I’ll gratefully accept it.]
[I’ve been a white chocolate statue lately, and that d*mned dangerous God had the brightest idea of melting and making a fondue out of my body. Anyhow, I had some leftover chocolate, so I reformed it and brought it along.]
[…………………..??]
Wait a minute there. There are so many things I’d like to slap a tsukkomi at that I’m at a loss as to how to react now. First, errr…… She became a white chocolate statue? No, like hell that’s possible! What the heck happened to her to become a white chocolate statue!? I don’t understand what’s going on at all.
Even if I forcibly accept that happening, next…… That dangerous God’s action. She melted chocolate-formed Senpai and made a fondue? They seriously are dangerous……. And then, why the heck is Senpai taking it all in stride and was just calmly explaining all that? Is this the influence of that Gag Status Correction mentioned before?
And finally, they had leftover chocolate, so she reformed it and brought it along…… No, no! Assuming that all of her earlier stories are true, it means that that chocolate is a melted-out part of her body, put into a mold, hardened and she decided to bring that as a souvenir!? I don’t even know how I should react here.
[Ah, I also added sugar and syrup that came out of my body, you know?]
[……Senpai, can I ask you a question?]
[Unnn?]
[Why can you turn into chocolate, or excrete stuff like sugar or syrup? What kind of creature are you, Senpai? Ahh, putting aside you apparently being an incarnation of seriousness and all that……]
[……I dunno? They just happen, I also don’t know for sure.]
[If Senpai herself doesn’t know, I guess it can’t be helped!?]
An incarnation of seriousness that produces sugar and syrup from her body and turns into chocolate? No, rather, as far as I’ve heard, she feels more like an incarnation of sweetness……
[H- How should I say this…… Senpai sure had it rough.]
[Though some of them are your fault!!!]
[……Why?]
[It’s because you kept on flirting around with just about everything that I became like that! No, I’m not telling you to stop, but can’t you reduce the frequency a little more…… Seriously.]
[……………………]
Eeeeeehhhhh!? When I flirt with someone, Serious-senpai starts producing sugar and turns into chocolate? I’m getting even more confused than before…… No, I mean, I just can’t see how that’s connected with each other.
[……Ahh, could it be that the story up to this point was all a joke?]
[If that had been a joke…… It would have been better……]
[Ahh, you’re being for real huh. H- Hmmm. However, what’s the connection between my flirting and the changes in Serious-senpai’s body?]
[I wonder? I dunno about that.]
[If you say you don’t know about that yourself, I don’t see how I can help……]
Seriously, how should I say this…… She’s quite the incomprehensible, peculiar person. Serious-senpai sat on a chair opposite of the astounded me, and put a box of chocolate and a box containing Japanese confectioneries on the table.
Aren’t these Japanese confectioneries made from something that came out of Serious-senpai’s body? If that’s the case, this isn’t just about whether it’s hard to eat or not…… Along with the chocolates she gave me, I’m going to have that sealed deep within my magic box……
[Well, it’s a once-a-year opportunity, so we’d rather spend it meaningfully than talk about things that we don’t understand, right?]
[……Well, I suppose so. You’ve come all the way here, so please take your time and relax. I’ll have some teacakes prepared.]
[You’re so kind…… I lov———- Hah!? Don’t think you can conquer me with just that!?]
Senpai looked overcome with emotion just now, but her expression suddenly changed and she lashed out at me…… Unn. The intense ups and downs of her tension really are just like Serious-senpai.
Even though I feel confused about this and that, I’ve already met her several times, so I might have gotten used to her already. Although she’s a person of many oddities…… Well, she isn’t a bad person.
[……By the way, Senpai. Are you going to search for seriousness this time too?]
[……I’ll do my best tomorrow.]
[Is that just a procrastinator’s answer?]
She should be back in her usual room tomorrow…… but well, even though she would actually try to look for seriousness, she ends up just sightseeing every time, so I guess today would also be just the same as usual.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai (Affection Meter MAX) : [……Fuuu, after having tea, we just played games and hung out. Since we were just playing around, it wasn’t like I was being conquered. Also, that lack of motivation in the title……]
? ? ? : [……Eehhh, as expected, even I would be a little reluctant to go for the “eat me (physically)” approach, but nonetheless, your affection meter sure surged through the roof.]
Serious-senpai (Affection Meter MAX) : [Can you not say things that can cause misunderstandings!?]
