Chapter 2053: Date Plan ③

Without either of them realizing the grave Kaori had stepped into, the discussion about the date plans continued.

[In the evening, it’s ideal if we go to a place with a nice view...... preferably on a high hill, right?]

[Exactly. You know, watching the sunset side by side in a beautiful spot...... That sounds so nice...... I wish I’d had a springtime of youth like that too.]

[Unn? Can’t you just do it now?]

[Ah, well, the springtime of youth in a person's life is rather short...... No, errr...... it's a bit complicated to explain, so let's drop the subject.]

To Kaori, “the springtime of youth” referred to the teenage years, but in this world, there were many long-lived species...... Even Olivia was over a thousand years old, and explaining this concept to her was challenging.

More to the point, from a long-lived being’s perspective, someone of Kaori's age was no different from a child. Yet, with her strong sense of human experience, Kaori saw herself as someone nearing her thirties, someone rather old already; this difference in perception was tough to connect with long-lived beings.

[A- Anyhow, the idea is to set a nice mood by watching the sunset together in a scenic spot, and then go to a slightly upscale restaurant for dinner. It’d be even better if it's a place with a night view.]

[Indeed, though it would be disrespectful to choose a cheap restaurant for Miyama Kaito-sama’s meal, I understand he doesn’t favor overly luxurious places either, so something moderately upscale should work well.]

Since both were amateurs in romance, they’d settled on a safe, classic date plan. Nonetheless, the basic outline was decided.

Hmmm...... could this be related to that conversation Olivia-san and Shiro-san had during Hydra Kingdom’s Founding Festival? Given Olivia-san’s overly serious nature, Shiro-san might have casually advised her to go out somewhere with me, which Olivia interpreted as a date.

But well...... If this really is connected to the Founding Festival, quite a bit of time has passed...... Considering Olivia’s personality, she might have spent all this time thinking and preparing.

Well, in any case, I don't really have any problem going out together with her...... oya?

"Additionally, Mizuhara Kaori has expressed interest in joining this date, and as she has frequently given me advice, I would like to fulfill her wish. If it’s alright with Miyama Kaito-sama, would you allow Mizuhara Kaori to accompany us?"

Kaori-san also wants to join us on the date? Yeah, this really feels like an invitation for a fun outing for the three of us. Well, I have no objections to that. Hanging out with both Kaori-san and Olivia-san sounds like it could be quite enjoyable, so I’ll respond with my agreement.

......That aside, I still have about half of the letter left...... What else does this letter contain?

Even though I thought the main point was over, I was curious about the remaining pages...... As I flipped through, I found that they were filled with lengthy expressions of gratitude for my reading the letter, overflowing with thanks.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Kaori, the beginning of the stomach is upon you...... No, in fact, how will Kaori feel after receiving Kaito's response and being told by Olivia about their three-person date......?]
