Chapter 676 - The Love Sung by the G.o.d of the End ⑧
An amus.e.m.e.nt park date with Shiro-san, the place we arrived next…… is a building with a complicated appearance. The pamphlet says that this is a trick house.
From the brief description attached to the pamphlet, it seems to be an attraction where you have to complete various tasks to progress.
It’s a little different, but I think it’s probably like an escape game or something like that.
As we entered, we suddenly saw that the path was divided into three sections. Errr, the first one is “Family Path”, the second is “Couple Path”…… Oi, oi, the third one is her usual loner bullying again———— What the heck does this “Senpai~~ Why don’t you just go home and suck on a sugar cube~~” mean?
Who is this senpai that you’re talking about here? I mean, aren’t you being too harsh to senpai? You not only had some kind of harsh subt.i.tle for that pa.s.sage, but just a glance over there also makes me know that it’s full of thorns…… I feel like there’s obviously some kind of ma.s.sive trap being set here.
I was feeling bothered about that strange pa.s.sage, but at least, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with me and Shiro-san. And since it was Alice, she might have just built that path for the kicks.
Deciding not to worry about it for the time being, I proceeded with Shiro-san down the Couple Path.
After a short walk through a slightly dimly lit corridor, we reached a brightly lit room, where I found a large door with a strange pattern on it. Perhaps, opening this door is our first task?
With this in mind, I looked around the room and saw a number of what appeared to be questions drawn in large letters on another wall.
Each question had a number on it, and the pattern on the door also had such numbers…… Ahh, I see. I thought I had seen this pattern somewhere before…… but this is a crossword puzzle huh.
Errr, let’s see…… [Solve all the questions and loudly read the letters in the center from the top, the door will open” huh…… It’s a surprisingly legitimate task.
I was worried that there was going to be something couple-related, shame-inducing subjects to it, but I was relieved.
Okay, well, let’s start with the first question. I hope it’s not too difficult to solve……
“What is the name of the G.o.d of Creation, she who created this world, Trinia?”
It was a surprisingly easy problem to solve. I mean, that G.o.d herself is beside me right now, you know?
[We’re suddenly faced with a difficult question. What should we do, Kaito-san? We may be able to get a hint by solving other questions first, you know?]
[………………]
Incidentally, since Shiro-san’s “I’m happy” comment a little while ago, although her expression hasn’t changed, she’s become so excited that it’s easy to tell that she was in high spirits.
W- Well, let’s just leave it at that and the answer to this question…… I guess I should just say it out loud.
[The answer to the first question is Shallow Vernal.]
[Kaito-san called me without honorifics. You’re making me blush~~]
[………………..]
I’m glad if Shiro-san is happy about that.
All the crossword puzzles were easy enough for me to answer, so I was able to smoothly solve them. Furthermore, I don’t know how this was made possible, but when I say the correct answer, the crossword puzzle in front of me is automatically filled up.
In the end, I finished the questions without any problems, and all I had to do was read what was written in the center of the puzzle out loud from above.
[Then, I’ll read it now….. .Errr…… I– love– you– Shi– ro– san———-Eh?]
[Kaito-san is so bold, but this makes me happy. Of course, I love you too, Kaito-san.]
[Ah, errr, yes. T- Thanks……]
……It was an elaborate trap. The embarra.s.sment of realizing this after the fact…… As I loudly announced my love for Shiro-san, the huge door opened to reveal the pa.s.sage forward.
What is this, this inexplicable feeling of defeat…… It looks like they really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. I need to be vigilant about this in the future……
Feeling unexpectedly embarra.s.sed, we walked through the pa.s.sage that appeared and reached the next room, where I found another large doors with large letters that reads:
“It will open if the boyfriend holds the girlfriend in a princess carry. The princess carry must continue until the couple reaches the next room.”
Just when I had raised my guards, they just upfront slapped a straightforward task on me!?
[It’s a wonderful attraction. It really makes me feel thrilled.]
Moreover, Shiro-san looked so happy that I could even try evading or complaining about this task.
[Ahh~~ Errr, Shiro-san. I’ve never held someone in a princess carry before, so I’m not sure if I can do it well…… but are you alright with that?]
[Fumu, does that mean that I will be the first one Kaito-san holds in a princess carry?]
[E- Errr, yes. That’s right.]
[Which means, I will be taking Kaito-san’s “first time” for this matter, right? This makes this even more wonderful.]
Whoa there, be careful with your word choice there, Airhead G.o.d…… Those words actually hold a very dangerous meaning, you know? When one hears those words, they would suddenly become strangely aware of something, and their embarra.s.sment levels would leap even more……
[……I don’t really mind having the first time for that too, you know?]
Stop it. Stop nonchalantly saying such words…… It makes me feel so much heat that I feel like I’m burning……
[A- Anyway, I’ll hold you in a princess carry, okay!?]
[I guess so. Well then, I’ll be having this today…… I’ll just be having that another time.]
Arehh? Was Shiro-san always this cute? No, she has always been an exquisite beauty, but as her mischievousness, or rather, her human-like traits have increased, her cuteness also tremendously grows.
Like the bashful smile on her face as she was being held in a princess carry…… I think things like that are cheating.
……This won’t do, I can’t win against this. Perhaps, no, I’m sure…… my face will remain red until we finally leave this attraction.
? ? ? : [You’ve done it, Serious-senpai! Thanks to Alice-chan’s thoughtfulness, you’ve appeared in the main story!]
Serious-senpai : [No, I didn’t! Why the heck is that senpai(totally not me) being spoken ill of even when she didn’t appear!? Well, putting that aside…… A monologuing intermission chapter appeared already, so why didn’t the date end already!? It’s still going to continue!?]
? ? ? : [Of course, it will continue. Ahh, speaking of which, but that story regarding Isis-san in the last chapter…… I…… Alice-chan was curious, so she asked Shallow Vernal-sama.]
Serious-senpai : [That story regarding how Isis was born from the soul of an Evil G.o.d?]
? ? ? : [Yes, yes. Well, regarding that, you see~~ It seems that Alice-chan thought that that Evil G.o.d don’t have a will, but it seems that even Evil G.o.ds do have a will…… Just before she was defeated by Alice-chan, she seems to have abandoned her core, and even with just her soul, she escaped to another world. And when she escaped, she encountered Shallow Vernal-sama, who was in the midst of creating her world, and after her memories and such things were “brought to an end”, only her soul was used to create Isis-san.]
Serious-senpai : [That Evil G.o.d is just too unlucky. Just when she thought she had escaped someone dangerous, she ended up right in front of someone even worse……]
? ? ? : [Incidentally, this might be something that wouldn’t be directly written in the book…… that Evil G.o.d who escaped even if it’s just her soul…… It’s apparently because “she didn’t want to disappear alone”. That’s something that, well, made Alice-chan think about for a moment. For the Evil G.o.d who doesn’t hold the capability to speak words, the only way she could weave bonds with others was by weaving the hearts of the world with herself (which kinda gives them despair)…… It might just be her, trying to express her affection. There’s that saying about how “Love is destroying the world” after all. Perhaps, Isis-san is more sensitive to the feeling of loneliness than others because she knows how painful it is, even if she doesn’t remember it.]
Serious-senpai : [……Hmmm. Thinking about it like that, even though it was just a whim, reincarnating that Evil G.o.d into Isis was a fine play…… I guess?]
? ? ? : [I think so. Thanks to her whims, the lonely former Evil G.o.d…… Isis-san was able to meet Kaito-san, right?]
