Chapter 1708: Afternoon Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal 3

I don’t know if I should be smiling at the heartwarming scene of Shiro-san gently watching over the growth of the Gods who could be called her children, or lament for the meticulous and diverse simulations conducted by the Gods, for them to be able to respond promptly to this situation, but for the time being, it has been decided that we will be going to the clock tower in the evening.

And so, while continuing to look at the stalls, I chatted with Shiro-san.

[And so, just as Shiro-san had requested, we sure had a very couple-like date.]

[Indeed. It’s great to hear that things are going smoothly so far, and our evening plans have also been set. However, I get the feeling that there’s a shortage of assertive approaches coming from Kaito-san’s side.]

[......H- Hmmm. Well, if you put it that way........ that might be the case.]

The couple-like actions we’ve had so far have mainly revolved around fulfilling Shiro-san’s requests, so when she pointed out how there aren’t many patterns where I assertively make my approach, it certainly seems to be the case.

And with her pointing that out, that would be a roundabout way of requesting that, so I’d like to do something for her.

It’s just, assertive approaches coming from me...... In other words, a pattern where I would be leading, well, just thinking about it is difficult. It would have been better if we were at a place I knew well, such as Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital, but in Hydra Kingdom’s Royal Capital and under this special circumstances where the place is holding their Founding Festival, I couldn’t readily come up with a development where I take the lead doing flirty couple-like stuff.

No, I suppose it isn’t really necessary for us to do that here in this Founding Festival but...... I should just think of a couple-like situation where I take initiative more assertively.

Being assertive huh...... When one speaks of being overbearingly assertive, is it something like kabedon? No, but kabedon feels more of a passion-filled situation than a lovey-dovey one, and it seems to me that it’s something that’s done before two people have a relationship rather than between a couple.

Well, putting aside kabedon, if I think in that direction......

[......Hou.]

Whoa there, I’m getting a bad feeling, Shiro-san seemed to have become interested in something. With how she was obviously reading my mind, I’m sure kabedon has caught her attention.

However, please wait a moment there. This isn’t something that can be done right here and now. It’s a situation that requires various prerequisites and conditions. And so, even if you want to do it, it would have to be for later......

[I see.]

[Wait right there, Shiro-san, what are you waving your hand for......]

[No, I’m just trying to build a suitable wall.]

[If a wall suddenly appeared in the middle of the street, it would kill Chronois-san and the others’ stomachs, so seriously, please stop that.]

Did she really think that if she were to put up a wall right now...... it would be okay to do the kabedon!? There are a lot of people here, and if we do the kabedon in a place like this, we’d definitely be the center of attention. It would be the death of not only Chronois-san’s stomach, but also my public image.

[If Shiro-san’s really interested in it, we’ll do it later, so please don’t create a wall here.]

[Fumu. If that’s the case, would you do it in a situation where there’s a suitable wall and we are alone?]

[Eh? Yes, I would do that but......]

It seems that the kabedon has strongly caught Shiro-san’s interest, as she’s looking at me with expectant eyes. When I unconsciously nodded in agreement, Shiro-san lightly waved her hand...... and the scenery around us completely changed.

Above Hydra Kingdom’s Royal Capital, the eyes of the three Supreme Gods who were watching over the date between Kaito and Shallow Vernal widened almost simultaneously.

[They disappeared!? Kuh, it’s that scenario we’re afraid of huh...... Where did they teleport!?]

[Doesn’t seem like they teleported in the vicinity. I’ve prepared perfectly in advance, so if it’s within the Human Realm, they should be within my sensing range...... but if I can’t locate them, they don’t seem to be anywhere within the Human Realm.]

[......In this case, this would probably be more of a subspace. Shallow Vernal-sama created a new space and they teleported there...... probably so that she can be alone with Kai-chan?]

For the three Supreme Gods, losing sight of Kaito and Shallow Vernal, even temporarily, on their first date was a major blunder they had to reflect upon, so they had naturally taken precautions against it this time.

[......I see, if it were as God of Fate says, the question now is whether they’ll return to their original position after this unexpected development......]

[Indeed. If they’re still interested in looking around the stalls, they might return to the same place, but there’s also a possibility that they’d return to a different location. Since the timing of their return is uncertain, we’d better keep a lookout in a wide area.]

Even though the two of them had teleported towards a subspace, it doesn’t seem like they’re taking a break. Rather, it’s because they don’t know when they will return that it’s necessary to be even more focused and attentive about the overall situation in the Royal Capital. It seems that the challenges for the Supreme Gods still continues......

[......However, Shallow Vernal-sama sure has it nice. I’d like to be lovey-dovey with Kai-chan too.]

Watching the two of them on their date, her desire to flirt with Kaito right away after the Founding Festival ended grew stronger. Therefore, wondering if she could ask Shallow Vernal later if she could pass the memories of the her in this timeline to the one in the original timeline, Fate turned her attention back to the Royal Capital.

Serious-senpai : [Feels like ’s gonna be really bad, so I’m also slipping into a subspace...... ? ? ?, can’t you make me a subspace?]

? ? ? : [Fine by me. You fine with a subspace where you can clearly see their date?]

Serious-senpai : [That wouldn’t make any sense though......]
