ChapterC.1676: Re: Founding Festival 8
I finally arrived at the Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival...... for the second time. No, well, it’s not like I had a hard time arriving here because teleportation only takes a moment, and I was here before I knew it. n))O-(V/)e)/l/-b()I((n
And the day before yesterday? No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t the day before yesterday, with only my senses feeling that way, but in any case, just as I thought back on the day I arrived here with Alice, there sure are a lot of people here.
I know that Shiro-san isn’t noticed by other people because of the high level of Recognition Inhibition Magic around her, but even so, the situation of Shiro-san being in the middle of a city is just so absurd that it makes me feel strangely nervous about this.
Well, I guess Chronois-san and the others would be more nervous than I am......
[There sure are a lot of people, don’t you think, Shiro-sa...... Eh?]
[What’s the matter, Kaito-san? Is something bothering you, like my clothes? My outfit? My attire?]
What surprised me as I turned around was that Shiro-san’s outfit had somehow changed. No, even though I knew Shiro-san could easily pull off something like that, it was quite surprising seeing her wearing a different outfit after we teleported. Well, given how much Shiro-san’s trying to appeal, I noticed the change immediately...... I mean, she is dressed quite differently from usual after all.
The reason is that Shiro-san now wears jeans-like trousers, perhaps for ease of movement, going for a casual style. For her top, she was wearing a white shirt and a cardigan-like jacket, and her hair was tied in a ponytail.
The atmosphere Shiro-san had had completely changed from what she usually had, and with her like that, even if she were recognized, I had a feeling others wouldn’t realize it was Shiro-san...... No, her visual impact might be too striking for them to notice.
Well, that aside, seeing Shiro-san wearing different clothes like this...... makes me realize all over again that she really looks good in anything. Her personal specs are just too high, and those long legs and outstanding stylishness make the pants style a perfect harmony of coolness and beauty.
[Please don’t misunderstand, this is just A-style.]
[U- Unnn? What do you mean?]
[While we’re at it, I’m going to change my outfit along the way. I’ve studied fashion, so I want to try out different outfits....... You can shower me with compliments each time, you know? Compliments make me happy. I think now would be the opportune moment, don’t you think?]
[......Well, it really does suit you incredibly well. Not only do you look beautiful, you also look cool. While it’s true that Shiro-san looks good in anything, I’m delighted to become aware of a different charm in Shiro-san than usual.]
For the time being, it seems like she’s apparently changing outfits along our date, and well, if it’s Shiro-san, she can definitely pull that off, and considering the effort she put into studying, I understand her desire to try various things.
And as for praising her outfit, with my girlfriend being so stylish, there was no way I wouldn’t compliment her. And so, when I honestly gave her my word of praise, Shiro-san nodded her head in satisfaction.
[......It’s more pleasing to my ears than I thought, so I’d like to ask for a few more compliments.]
Whoa there, she went and demanded refills of compliments. Saying such a thing so matter-of-factly is truly just like Shiro-san.
[Errr, your top is also stylish and nice. Shiro-san’s jacket complements your style well, leaning towards an elegant rather than a casual look, surprisingly suiting Shiro-san. Well, to be honest, being able to have Shiro-san, who is endowed with beauty, coolness and beauty, as my lover, I’m really fortunate...... How about that?]
After I gave her additional words of praise as she requested, Shiro-san seemed to be quite satisfied, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, seemingly content and happy. For the time being, I’m just glad I could bring a smile to her face...... but just when I was thinking that, I found my eyes widening the next moment.
After all, beyond my field of vision, there was suddenly this enormous “DOYA” emerging from the sea, rising up towards the sky and disappearing behind the clouds.
......Unbelievable. In that split second just now, I’m pretty sure she just caused significant distress to several people’s stomachs. After all, unlike back when everyone went to play on the beach, we’re currently in the midst of Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival in their Royal Capital. Many people would definitely witness that DOYA just now.
For the general public, the letters...... No, the Japanese letters that suddenly emerged from the sea were too large for them to think they were letters, but still, they witnessed a mysterious gigantic object suddenly rising from the sea into the sky. Laguna-san and the others would obviously see it as well.
If anything, the slight restlessness I was sensing around me was definitely not just my imagination, so Laguna-san and the others were probably holding their heads in their hands, trying to figure out how to deal with this situation.
Chronois-san and the other Gods are probably troubled too. There’s no way they can just explain to Laguna-san and the others that those giant letters that appeared were a result of Shiro-san acting all smug, so she’s probably trying to come up with a clever way to handle this...... Laguna-san, Chronois-san...... I’m worried about their stomachs.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Humongous 3D letters rising from the sea to the sky...... That scene’s just too surreal. Neun and the others who know Japanese would probably be staring blankly at it now.]
