Chapter 437

Something good unintentionally happened to Isis-san, and seeing the happy expression on her face made me feel happy too .

Well, I felt a bit down because of the rumors about me…… but there were some of those rumors that I couldn’t completely deny, so I decided to just ignore them .

I started walking with Isis-san again, and as I was thinking that it was time to check out some of the stalls, I suddenly saw something that caught my eyes .

It looks as soft and fluffy as a cloud, moving a stick around as if they were drawing a large circle inside a large magic tool, and the shapes that were being created were truly artistic .

……In short, I saw cotton candy . W- Well, even though this is mainly a flea market, I guess it wouldn’t be strange for there to be food vendors .

And cotton candy is a standard in festivals…… It’s a bit childish, but it’s stable and delicious .

Though I say that, as an adult, it seems a little too childish for me . Well, to put it simply…… “I just want to eat some”!!!

W- Well, I mean, when you think of festivals, you think of cotton candies, and when you think of cotton candies, you think of a festival . In a way, I guess it could even be said that it’s disrespectful to the festival to not eat cotton candy here . No, it’s not that I’m childish or anything like that…… It’s just that cotton candy is very tasty, so it can’t be helped if I feel this way .

If I was the only one here…… I would have purchased cotton candy without hesitation . However, my girlfriend, Isis-san, was currently next to me .

In this situation, saying that I want to eat cotton candy…… somehow feels embarrassing . H- However, I really want to eat some now . If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat cotton candy again……

A- Alright, let’s make a roundabout suggestion here……

[I- Isis-san . I- It seems like there’s a cotton candy stall over there . T- There’s a confectionary like that in my world too…… I- It’s a festival anyway, so how about we eat some?]

[……Unnn? ……If Kaito wants to eat some…… I’m fine with it…… Eating together with Kaito…… is my happiness . ]

[Guhh……]

[……Kaito?]

Her angelic smile caused an extraordinary amount of damage to my conscience .

I’m sorry, Isis-san…… I was but an unsightly human . I disguised my desire to eat it as if I wanted to introduce the confectionary of my world to Isis-san .

[……N- Never mind…… I- I’ll treat you!]

[……Eh? …… Is that alright?]

[Yes! Please let me act cool at least in this kind of situation . ]

[……Kaito…… is always…… cool though?]

[Gahaa!?]

Isis-san is so much of an angel to me that it hurts…… I feel like my unsightly heart is being burned to ashes .

Feeling guilty for trying to use Isis-san as an excuse, I moved to the store with her . It was a careless action that I immediately regretted .

[Excuse m——– [ Hyiiihhh!? A- a- a…… ] ——–Eh?]

[……Ahh…… I- I’m so……]

It was completely careless of me . Even if the effect of Isis-san’s magic of death had diminished, that was only if they were some distance away from her .

As far as I can tell, the limit is three meters…… If one got closer, Isis-san’s magic power of death will unleash its true tyranny .

To make matters worse, the stall wasn’t prepared by a subordinate of any of the Six Kings, but by a general participant .

Isis-san quickly tried to take her distance, but the shopkeeper ran away from her stall faster than she could . Throwing away everything, including the tools for her business, she ran away as fast as she could……

[………………… . . ]

Seeing this, Isis-san’s expression changed to one of sadness . Even though I should have known this would happen…… that her magic power of death hasn’t completely disappeared . Just because I was starting to see a little improvement…… I should’ve been more careful .

[……Kaito…… Sorry……]

[Isis-san?]

[……I knew it…… Being together with me is—— Hnnn!?]

It may have been a forceful move . But I didn’t want to make her say anything more than that, so I forcibly blocked her mouth when she was about to say something .

After savoring the feeling of her moist, slightly cold lips, I pulled away . Thereupon, Isis-san seemed to be surprised as her eyes were wide open .

[……Kaito?]

[I’m sorry! I was careless…… Next time, let’s go to a shop owned by one of the Six Kings’ subordinates!]

[……Eh? ……B- But……]

[It’s not your fault, Isis-san . It’s my……]

[No~~ It’s actually “Uncle’s” fault . ]

[……Eh?]

I was about to tell Isis-san that I was at fault, when I heard a familiar voice interrupting me .

[……Ozma?]

[Ozma-san?]

[Good gracious, I’m sorry about that, Isis-sama . I was actually in charge of this store, but I just had the urge to puff some smoke, so I asked a friend of mine to watch the store for me . I’m sorry for making you feel displeased, and as an apology, I’d like to offer the both of you a cotton candy each, so please forgive us . ]

Ozma-san, who had just appeared, wryly smiled as he brushed his shaggy hair and told us .

He then started making two cotton candies, looking quite familiar with making it, and handed one to Isis-san first and then to me…… before he muttered in a quiet voice that only I could hear .

[……I’m sorry I arrived late . I’ll follow-up with you to a certain extent, so don’t worry about it and have fun . ]

[……Thank you . ]

It seems that Ozma-san came out to make a follow-up so that we wouldn’t have to resume our date with a complicated atmosphere after the shopkeeper ran away .

After expressing my gratitude for his much-appreciated concern, I tightly grasped Isis-san’s hand .

[Come on, Isis-san! Let’s resume our date!]

[……Eh? ……U… . . Unnn . ]

[Also, you’re not allowed to say anything about being a bother to me, okay? If you say something like that again, I’ll block your mouth again, you know?]

[……Kaito . ]

Jokingly telling her this, I pulled Isis-san’s hand and started walking . Holding a strong will to never let go of this hand……

It seemed like my feelings were conveyed, as Isis-san smiled, her cheeks slightly blushing red .

[……Unnn…… I’d like it…… if you block my mouth again . ]

[Don’t just say such things on purpose though?]

[……Fufu…… Unnn…… Alright…… But later…… one more time…… okay?]

[……I- I’ll do my best at that time . ]

[……I’m looking forward to it . ]

(P/R: Lazycat needs to pay for my hospital bills when I get a heart failure by the end of this)

Apparently, she had recovered from her slightly depressed feelings, and Isis-san squeezed my hands back with a big smile on her face .

Dear Mom, Dad————- Not everything goes well in life, and I still made a few mistakes . However, this incident was a good lesson for me . Once again, so that Isis-san doesn’t have to feel unpleasant emotions, as her lover————– Let’s firmly take the lead on our date .
