Chapter 672

Exchanging our feelings with each other, I’ve become lovers with Shiro-san. I’m really happy that we’ve become lovers, but unfortunately, since I still have to talk with Mom and Dad, and after going around greeting people, it was already very late. In that case, the time where we can just relax is……

[Well then, let’s get on with our date.]

……Arehh? That’s strange, isn’t this the time where I go home now? N- No, Shiro-san. Of course, I’d like to go on a date with Shiro-san too, but it’s already 10:00 pm……

[It’s only “9:00 am” though.]

[Wha!? Eh? No, there’s no way———— Arehh?]

Thinking that there was no way that was the case, I looked at my pocket watch and saw that it really was 9:00 am, just as Shiro-san said.

Night basically doesn’t exist in the God Realm, so I don’t know if it’s day or night…… But either way, I’m pretty sure that it should be 10:00 pm…… arehh?

As I was tilting my head in confusion, Chronois-san suddenly appeared in the Sanctuary with a rather flustered expression on her face.

[Shallow Vernal-sama!? Just now, “the world’s time has been turned back”!]

[I turned it back. What of it?]

[……Huh? N- No…… ummm……]

[I turned it back. What of it?]

[……………….]

[I turned it back. What of it?]

[……I’ll go and take care of the aftermath.]

[I’ll leave it to you.]

She turned back the world’s time!? N- No, if it’s Shiro-san, she can certainly easily do something like that…… but Chronois-san probably has a lot of work to do after Shiro-san did such a thing because Chronois-san has a dead look in her eyes.

However, as usual, Chronois-san can’t go against Shiro-san, so her shoulders just slumped down as she left the Sanctuary, about to deal with the aftermath……

[……God of Time and Space.]

[Y- Yes!]

[Troublesome it may be, but I’m counting on you.]

[ ~ ~ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? Yes! My everything exists entirely for Shallow Vernal-sama! Please leave everything to me!!!]

C- Chronois-san…… You’re being a little bit too gullible…… Just because Shiro-san said a few words of encouragement while looking at Shiro-san knows where, with tears of joys in her eyes, she happily went about, dealing with the aftermath.

No, well, from the point of view of Chronois-san, a God, being relied upon by Shiro-san is the greatest honor, isn’t it? H- Hmmm, if the person herself is alright with it…… I guess it’s fine?

[……Rather, turning back the world’s time……]

[In addition, I’ve restored Kaito-san’s vitality. Now, we can have a date.]

[……Errr, well, I have a lot of things to say but…… Is that alright? Doing something like this, I mean.]

[I’m the rule here.]

Thereupon, that three-dimensional “Doya!” appeared beside Shiro-san again…… and this time, unlike before, that word is glowing in multiple colors.

[Haahhh…… Well, since things are already done, let’s go on a date. I also wanted to spend a little more time with Shiro-san too.]

[I see, so this is that phenomenon called “being wooed” huh.]

[I can’t really say that it’s a complete misunderstanding but…… That aside, could it be that Shiro-san is very excited?]

[Yes. I’m very excited.]

……At that time, my well-honed sixth sense strongly told me. “Ahh, I have a bad feeling about this”……

[……Ummm, Shiro-san?]

[What is it?]

[I don’t even know which one I should tsukkomi at…… but why did an “amusement park” suddenly appear here in the Sanctuary?]

[I created it.]

I had already guessed that Shiro-san was planning something when I heard that she was excited, but as expected, when a huge amusement park suddenly appeared in front of me, I would be speechless.

If she went to the trouble of creating an amusement park, does that mean that Shiro-san’s request is for us to have an amusement park date?

[That’s right.]

[……Let me just ask, why an amusement park?]

[Kuro has already been on several dates with Kaito-san. That’s why, we’ll have an amusement park date that not only Kuro, but also Kaito-san’s other girlfriends haven’t done yet. Thus, I’m the first person to go on an amusement park date with Kaito-san.]

I kind of know what she was talking about, but I kinda don’t…… However, even if you had created an amusement park, would the attractions here work automatically? Is it alright if we don’t have any attendant assisting us?

[There’s no problem. Phantasmal King…… No, Alice. She’s close by, isn’t she? If it’s her, she should be able to handle it. I appoint her as this amusement park’s attendant and mascot.]

[……And why do you think I would follow your orders? Just use your frequent servants, the Gods, for that. You know, there’s the God of Troubles, right? Ah, wait, she’s officially the God of Time and Space, isn’t she?]

Stoooooop! Don’t nonchalantly call Chronois-san the God of Troubles! As soon as I heard her talk about someone titled God of Troubles, Chronois-san’s face immediately popped out in my mind but…… doesn’t saying it out loud make Chronois-san too pitiful!?

W- Well, be that as it may…… Alice, who appeared after being mentioned by Shiro-san, replied with a blatantly dissatisfied tone. Even so, the fact that she, who is generally harsh to everyone but me, doesn’t just dismiss her words without question shows that she has at least some respect for Shiro-san, right?

As I was thinking about this, Shiro-san made a black marble-like object appear out of nowhere and handed it to Alice.

[I’ll give you that as a reward.]

[……What’s this? Did you really think that you could just bribe me with this————- !?]

Alice, who was looking at the marble with a questioning look, suddenly became wide-eyed as she repeatedly looked between the marble and Shiro-san.

[Eh? Are you serious? Can I really have this?]

[I’ll give that to you.]

[……You can count on me! So that Shallow Vernal-sama and Kaito-san can enjoy, Alice-chan will become the attendant of this amusement park!]

[I’m counting on you.]

……Well, it was a completely predictable result, but Alice was bribed in no time at all. The only thing that I hadn’t expected though was that she wasn’t bribed with money, but by a mysterious marble……

Of course, I’m not that much of an idiot. Based on Alice’s reaction, the marble in her hand isn’t something so simple. However, I wonder what that is?

Curious, after Alice disappeared, I decided to ask Shiro-san about the marble.

[……Shiro-san, what did you give Alice?]

[It’s an orb that, when embedded in a clone, “allows it to generate its own magic power just like a living person”.]

[……I see.]

It looked like an item with a limited use, but I immediately understood why Alice was so interested in it. It was an item that could be the solution to the problem that had been bothering Alice during the Six Kings Festival…… in other words, with that marble, Iris-san, who had been existing within Alice’s Heart Tool, will be able to materialize without time limit.

Somehow, I can feel Shiro-san’s growth. In the past, just as Alice said, Shiro-san would have just thrown everything to Chronois-san, but she chose to leave this to Alice, who definitely knows what an amusement park is and can manage it without any problems.

And the fact that she was able to move Alice, who wouldn’t unconditionally follow her, by giving her a reward that benefits her, was proof enough that she was beginning to understand the heart of others.

~ ~ Extra : Shiro and Mama’s Negotiation ~ ~

Mama : [Rejected. I resolutely wouldn’t accept this. I love all of my children. Even if you claim that it is for my beloved child’s sake, I would never transfer the souls of my other children to you. I’m displeased even with that Hero Summoning of yours. The fact that I allow it on the condition that their souls are returned to us after death is a sufficient concession in itself.]

Airhead God : [……Fumu, I see…… I understand. By the way, I’m changing the subject……]

Mama : What is it? No matter what conditions you state, I won’t……]

Airhead God : [Just the other day, Kuro told me that “she doesn’t need it”…… so she returned Epilogue back to me. Well, it’s not like I need it either but……]

Mama : [……Well, I don’t think this matter is something we could just easily dismiss, isn’t it? I understand that you want to act for the sake of my beloved child. Of course, I also wanted to respect your will as we have known each other for a long time. Thus, we need to understand each other’s non-negotiable points and adjust our conditions…… and t- that’s why we need to talk things out.]

Airhead God : [I have no objection.]

Mama : [……I’ll give in to the things that I could. Let’s compose ourselves, take our time, and calmly discuss the terms! I’m not thinking that you don’t think about such things…… but dealing with matters quickly and carelessly is something shameful.]

Airhead God : [I understand.]

Note : The only thing that Mama’s afraid of, on the level of trauma = Epilogue.
