Alice's edge date took a lot of time to go around the stalls in a very pleasant and happy atmosphere.

Fortunately, if I returned to the original world from this space, I could return to the time that had only passed one minute, so I could enjoy it as much as I wanted without worrying about the time.

Alice was as shy as ever, but she was always shy and smiling, and she was relentlessly enjoying herself.

After I finished going around the stalls far enough, I came back to the shrine and chatted.Somehow I feel a little shy because the end of the time I enjoyed is approaching.

I remember feeling like this when the sun began to fall at the amusement park where I went with my mom and dad as a child.

That's all, but it also proves that it was fun to go around the edge with Alice... "

"... but you turned around as much as you could."

"Yes, it was fun." Somehow, I feel like I've stretched my wings as hard as I can. "

Alice wanted to be her lover, and I was able to do a lot of things

"Ahh... when I think of it, it looks like there's a fire coming out of my face.But, yes... I was happy. "

Alice's murmured expression felt a little lonely, but somehow I felt that there was something else in her than the mutilation I was feeling.

However, this is also somehow, but it didn't seem like I wanted to step in too much, so I didn't ask anything and hugged Alice's shoulder.

Alice smiled bitterly, then leaned forward with a happy face, clinging lightly to me with a sweet gesture, and then murmured.

”... hah, I'll have to work harder from now on so that I can be as honest as I am today”

Yeah?

"No, I'm kind of cheating today, so I'm a little bit backward."

"... I see."

"... don't you want to hear it?"

"I don't think so. I can predict somehow... and most importantly, Alice thought I was having fun and happy."Besides, I could share the same feelings, so I have nothing to say other than being very satisfied. "

"Ahh, sometimes I get sloppy with such handsome remarks, so I'm going to shine out."

As expected... but I probably won't remember what happened in this space when I got back there.

It's the same thing about Makina, and I don't think I can recall it in the other world, and I think I can only recall it when I come back here.

That's why I think Alice, the shy one, acted more aggressively than usual.

Thinking like that, Alice suddenly clutched her hand around her neck.

"...... Mr. Kite"

Yeah?

"Next time... I'll do my best and invite you... let's go to the sea together."Unlike when I was with you guys before, we were alone. "

"Ah, I'm looking forward to it..."

“I like where the cottage is. staying overnight....."

"...... Alice"

Almost at the same time that I was surprised by the gentle, muttered words that had a special meaning for Alice, this was the first time that Alice had kissed me.

After laying her lips for about ten seconds, she slowly let go of her face...... Alice said with a clear smile.

"...... I love you, Keitaro."

The expression was really beautiful enough to be forgotten... love was beautiful.

I set out to see Alice's best friend and came back a minute later.Of course, the place is Alice's grocery store.

I should have spent quite a bit of time around here, and when I return to the evening because of the fringe, it is suddenly noon, so I am somehow confused.

In contrast to me, Alice, who is in her usual tone, has prepared tea for me, so I'll have it.

But... oh? Isn't that weird? I don't know if there's anything uncomfortable... I can't immediately think of anything specifically wrong, but I felt something different.

Thinking about what the cause was, Alice leaned her neck and asked.

"Mr. Kite? What do you want?"

"No, something's not right, it's not what I expected..."

"Huh? I don't know... but for now, would you like to prepare some tea?"

”No, I don't feel like my stomach is swollen, but since I ate a lot at the stall just now, I feel like eating a lot - yeah?”

"Huh!? I-Isn 't that right..."

It was almost at the same time that I felt uncomfortable with what I said and that stunned Alice dropped the cup in her hand.

Without looking at the broken cup that fell on the floor, Alice pointed her trembling finger at me with an unbelievable look on her heart.

”...... Khai, Khaito-san...... Oh, do you remember...?”

"Oh? Oh, yeah. I remember."

I finally knew what the discomfort was.Yes, I remember going around with Alice."I thought I'd definitely forget it when I got back here..."

"Why, why? Ka, Kite-san!"What's my other best friend's name!? "

"Huh?... Oh? No, I can't remember.It just feels like Alice's best friend is missing out. "

"So, but when it comes to dating me..."

"... I remember exactly"



As soon as she heard me, Alice's face turned red as she heard the explosion.It was Alice who was trembling and pulling as she was, but as soon as she got to some cause...... her expression changed from shame to anger.

―――――

And Alice shouted the name of someone I couldn't hear with her voice, and it felt like the whole grocery store was shaken by the scream.
