Chapter 1926: Ship Party 45
When I used the ability that Eden-san gave me again, I found that the number of people I had not already greeted was already down to a few, and I had plenty of time to greet them even if I went around quite slowly.
At any rate, there seemed to be one person nearby, so I moved on to the next one...... is what I was thinking, but as I was doing so, I happened to see the person I was aiming for approaching me.
Soon after, I saw Sieg-san with a glass in one hand.
[Sieg-san, hello.]
[Kaito-san, what a coincidence.]
[Yes, come to think of it, when I went to see Lilia-san, and also when I went to see Rei-san and Fia-san, we missed each other and haven't met yet.]
The moment I saw Sieg-san, I thought "Eh? Hadn't I greeted her already?", but come to think of it, when I visited Lilia-san, she was with Rei-san and Fia-san, and when I went to the area where Shigenobu-san and the others were, she had almost immediately gone back to Lilia’s place, practically missing each other.
[Our timing certainly didn't mesh well.]
[Have you gone somewhere just now?]
[Yes, I was with Lili for a while and then I went to greet Funf-san and was just about to return.]
Sieg regularly receives teachings from Funf-san, and among the other participants of the party, she has a close relationship with Funf-san. After returning to Lilia-san's place once, now that the entertainment and such have ended and there's a lull, it feels like the right moment to greet them on the way back.
[Kaito-san, is everything going well with greeting everyone?]
[Hearing you say that makes me happy, making me want to give Sieg-san clothes again. No, it's mostly because I want to see Sieg-san dressed in various outfits but...... would you like to go shopping with me again sometime?]
[Yes. I'd love to...... Ahh, but in that case, I would prefer something that I can wear out and about, not something expensive like formal wear. Umm, how should I say this...... Wearing the outfit you bought, I thought it would be nice if we could have a picnic together......]
[That's great. Sounds like a lot of fun. When we went to Rigforeshia together, we did explore the forest, but going somewhere with a beautiful view for a picnic also seemed like a great idea.]
[Yes. At that time, I'll put all my effort into making us a delicious bento.]
[While we're at it, how about we make the bento together? I'm not really as good at cooking as Sieg-san, but doing it together seems like it would be fun......]
[That sounds wonderful. Fufu, how should I say this...... I can't help but feel really excited about it already.]
It came up naturally in the conversation, but having a picnic with Sieg-san really does sound fun. Choosing a wide, secluded spot and bringing along Bell, Lynn, and Sela might also be a good idea.
I thought to myself that next time, I should discuss this in earnest with Sieg-san.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [That's a really unpleasant flag...... but well, his dates with Sieg do tend to be relatively lighthearted......]
? ? ? : [Maybe his relationship with Sieg-san will progress as well~~]
Serious-senpai : [Don't say such horrible things......]
