Chapter 1880: Ship Party 5

After chatting with Shiro-san to some extent, I'm off towards where Makina-san is next. No, that may have been a bit of a misnomer. It would be more correct to say I'm off towards where Makina-san and Eden-san are.

Well, both Makina-san and Eden-san are participating in this party. They are technically the same person, but perhaps because the people of this world are more familiar with her Eden identity, Eden-san is operating at the same time as Makina-san.

I don't really understand the logic behind it, but I suppose it would be something like how Alice is like with her clones.

[My beloved child, welcome! I'm so glad you came to see Mother!]

[Hello, Makina-san That said, we already met before the party Errr, hello to you too, Eden-san?]

[For my child to greet this me too, my child really is very kind.]

Hmmm Arehh? Dunno if it's just my imagination, but this Eden-san somehow feels calmer. No, even when Makina-san isn't on a rampage, she tends to refer to me as "my beloved child", making me hard to distinguish Makina-san from Eden-san, but if Eden-san doesn't refer to me as "my beloved child", she's likely in a considerably calm state.

While I was having doubts about this, Alice, who was next to Makina-san, called out to me with a somewhat astounded expression on her face.

[Ahh~~ I can somewhat understand what Kaito-san is thinking. You'll probably also be taken aback if you hear about the details, but I'll explain it to you. It seems like that terminal over there, Eden, had been interacting with the past Hero Actors over there, and she's aiming to keep herself calm and composed so as not to break their image of her.]

[Look here, Makina. If you go on a rampage this time, I'll hand all the photos from our previous trip together on a luxury liner to Kaito-san.]

[Can you not!? You'd totally break my calm and reliable mother image here!!! Heck, you still have those!? I told you to get rid of those before!!!]

I don't know what kind of pictures those are, but I never thought of Makina-san as a calm and reliable mother, so I don't think she has to worry about ruining her image.

[For me, those are pictures of happy memories with my dear best friend though. There's no way I can get rid of it]

[Ahh, I- I see. In that case, it can't be helped When you say it like that, I can't just forcefully demand you dispose of them. H- However, it's embarrassing, so don't show them to anyone else.]

Despite Makina-san's vehement protest, the fact that she readily forgave Alice with just a few words from her, Makina-san really is quite indulgent towards Alice or rather, Makina-san is quite gullible.

I mean, can she not see Alice's evil smile over there, looking as if everything is going according to her plan? Well, regardless, having Alice involved in this party brings relief to Makina-san-related stuff, and that's something I'm really grateful for.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [What an excellent Makina Caretaker. I mean, Makina is actually very lenient with Alice in a different way from when she's with Kaito, and in a sense, the only person who can perfectly control Makina is Alice It's decided she'd also be on Makina Duty in the future huh.]

? ? ? : [Please stop. How much more burden do you want to place on Alice-chan's shoulders]
