-

The sixth night of the Six Kings Festival. Tomorrow is the last day of the Six Kings Festival which has been filled with various things…… There are also lots of troublesome things, but thinking about how its going to end makes me feel sad. However……

Well, enough about that…… Lets put that matter aside. There are more important things I have at hand.

[……I can already kind of guess why, but can I ask you something Why was I “kidnapped to the Sanctuary” as soon as dinner was over]

[Its my turn today.]

[H- Huhh……]

[Kuro and the others made the rule that the person who would go on a date with Kaito the next day can take a bath with him the night before. Then, of course, I should have the right to do the same.]

Before I had time to bask in the afterglow of the night before the final day, I had been kidnapped by Shiro-san, bringing me to the God Realm. Unnn, well, how should I say this…… It really was just as I had expected.

[……Well, since Kuro didnt stop Shiro-san, that means theyve also included you too…… I dont have the option of refusing anyway, right]

[Yes. Thats right.]

Alright…… but “there are some conditions”.]

[Hmm]

Yes, I had predicted this situation. I knew that if Kuro and the others had established such a rule, there was no way that Shiro-san wouldnt take advantage of it. So, Ive been thinking about countermeasures for it.

Well, I didnt expect that she would bring me to the Sanctuary rather than staying with me in the Central Tower……

[Shiro-san, do you remember the last time when we went to the beach]

[Yes, of course.]

[Then, please “wear the bathing suit” you were wearing that time. Thats the conditions Im offering.]

[Mhmmm…… However, no one other than Phantasmal King wore a bathing suit when bathing with Kaito. Kuro wasnt a bathing suit either. Thats unfair.]

Shiro-sans voice was as inflectionless as ever, but she protested in a somewhat dissatisfied manner…… which was a response I had expected.

[Yes, that may be true. However, please think about it. I dont know how Shiro-san feels about yourself, but Shiro-san is an incredibly beautiful woman. If I were to take a bath with you while you werent wearing a bathing suit, I would feel nervous.]

[…………………]

[If that were the case, I dont think Ill have the composure to enjoy my conversation with Shiro-san. I want to enjoy this opportunity to be alone with you, Shiro-san.]

[Mhmhmhmmm……]

In response to my words, Shiro-san was unusually hesitating to say something. How should I say this…… It feels incredibly refreshing to have the upper hand against Shiro-san in a conversation.

Anyway, my point seemed to have been conveyed, and Shiro-san remained expressionless and silent for a while.

[……I understand. Ill put on my bathing suit while were taking a bath.]

[Thank you! Ahh, and please dont think of trying anything witty like “wearing your bathing suit only when you get in, and remove it after youre in the water”.]

[………………..]

I warned her just in case, but it seems like Shiro-san really was thinking of doing that, as I saw her eyes briefly blinked twice. This is how Shiro-san reacts when shes surprised.

For once, my advance planning and preparations paid off, as Shiro-san obediently put on her swimsuit.

Together with Shiro-san, who was wearing a bathing suit, I soaked in the onsen that I had also bathed in when I visited the God Realm before. However, hmmm…… I really think that Shiro-san is unfair. Not sure if its because shes really just too beautiful or not, but even when shes wearing a bathing suit, all the blood will gather on my face.

[……I somehow feel like I lost. I am displeased.]

[Im not entirely sure how you decide if you won or you lost but…… if I win, would that mean this would be my first victory over Shiro-san]

[……No, its your second victory.]

[Arehh]

Huh Its the second time Ive won against Shiro-san She had always been pushing me around so much that I dont remember ever winning against her…… Ahh, is she talking about that time when we first met

[Thats right.]

What Shiro-san is referring to is that conversation Shiro-san and I had when we first met…… that time when I rejected Shiro-san when she told me “she would give me what she wants”.

To be honest, I dont feel like Ive won at that time, but it seems like from Shiro-sans point of view, that was another loss.

[……I couldnt prepare what you really want after all. Then, I guess I lost.]

[Is that how it is]

[Thats right.]

After telling me this, Shiro-san made a sake cup and a tokkuri out of nowhere, handing me the sake cup without saying a word. Speaking of which, back when we were taking a bath in an onsen together, she also handed me a cup of sake like this…… Somehow, I feel strangely nostalgic, even though that shouldnt have been that long ago.

[……Its delicious.]

[Im glad to hear that.]

[……By the way, Shiro-san]

[What is it]

[Im sorry if Im mistaken…… but I kind of feel like youre “a bit depressed”……]

[Why do you think that]

[Im not sure. Its just a hunch.]

[………………….]

From what I heard from Kuro, Shiro-san never lies. In other words, I could take her silence as affirmation.

To be honest, I wasnt really sure, and just as I told Shiro-san, I had no proof. Ive never seen Shiro-san depressed before, so it really was just a hunch.

[……Kaito-san, are you able to read my emotional changes from my facial expressions]

[……Ehh Y- Yes, well…… I could somehow read them.]

Shiro-sans expression certainly hardly changed, and her voice had no inflection. However, since I had been conversing with her to some extent, I have come to understand her emotional changes to some extent.

When shes having fun, the corners of her lips turn up a few millimeters. When shes surprised, her eyes would quickly blink twice. When shes sulking, her mouth would become smaller by a few millimeters, and when she is confused, her eyelids would drop a few millimeters.

I guess Ive gotten the hang of it to some extent, and now, I can read the changes in her emotions from her facial expressions. 

[……You…… really are……]

[Shiro-san]

[No, its nothing.]

[…………………]

Shiro-san was about to say something, but she stopped mid-sentence and shook her head.

Then, after shifting her gaze to the skies of the God Realm…… She quietly whispered.

[……If……]

[Unnn]

[……If I try to…… take away “your most precious thing”…… will you…… hate me]

Dear Mom, Dad————— Was it just my imagination Her voice was as inflectionless as usual, and her expression almost unchanged…… However, hearing Shiro-sans voice right now, for some reason—————– She sounded like she was about to cry.

Tomorrow, February 16th, the e-book version of “I was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peace” will go on sale!

Serious-senpai : [……W- What about me You properly prepared a spot for me, the main serious-tagonist, right]

: [Thats something that Author-san doesnt know either.]

T/N: Ended up finishing my IRL stuff early, so Imma just post some chapters. Also, its great to see that YuuShous manga is being updated again. Go check them out on flamescans.
