Chapter 1770: Tea Party with Illness ⑧<Author’s Notes>
I don’t have time today, so today’s chapter is a bit short.
After listening to Illness-san’s story about her past, we enjoyed our tea party while chatting about various things. But well, we’re just drinking tea and eating sweets, so it can’t be dragged on that long and the time for closure will eventually come.
However, that’s only if we’re done here after the tea party ends……
[Thank you very much. Both the tea and the sweets were really delicious.]
[Kuhihi, hearing you say that maaaaaaakes the preparations worth it.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Well then, are we done here? Illness-san has the day off today, so if Illness-san is alright with it, would you like to go somewhere…… No, timewise, we won’t have enough to go somewhere far……]
Considering that our tea party started around snack time, it’s honestly a suitable time to bring this to a close. The suggestion to go somewhere and have fun was probably because somewhere in my heart, I was sad that my time with Illness-san was coming to an end.
[Riiiiiiight. Considering the tiiiiiiime, it might be difficult to go out somewheeeeere, but if Kaito-sama is availableeeeee, would you like to spend some more time in my roooooooom?]
[Ah, yes. By all means…… There are quite a few indoor activities that we can do together indoors. I’m really bad at board games though……]
I feel apologetic, feeling like I had somewhat been urging her to do this, but Illness-san’s words genuinely make me happy. While I don’t have a specific plan in mind, there are various playthings inside my magic box, so we’ll be fine.
Well, I’m not really into competitive board games like shogi or chess…… My weakness is to the extent that even Alice, who probably has the world’s greatest intellect, says “It’s not that I’m intentionally aiming to lose here, but if we want to have a good match…… to be honest, it would be difficult unless Kaito-san is allowed something like take two actions each turn”.
For only me to be able to take two moves per turn in shogi goes beyond the level of handicap…… It’s apparently difficult for me to win with my own skills without going to that extent.
[Actuallyyyyyy~~ There’s something I’d like to tryyyyy, but would it be alriiiiiiight?]
[Eh? Yes, of course. What is it?]
[It’s something I saw when I was reading a magaziiiiiiiine……]
While saying that, Illness-san took something out of the drawer of a cabinet-like furniture by the window. It’s a long, thin stick made of wood…… an earpick?
Errr, the only thing I can think that she wants to do with an earpick is……
[Errr, are you talking about ear cleaning?]
[Yeeeees. That is, if Kaito-sama doesn’t miiiiiiind~~]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Of course, it’s not that I dislike it, but is that alright with you, Illness-san?]
[Of couuuuuurse. Rather, aren’t I the one making the requeeeeest?]
[Ah, errr, in that case…… I’m in your care.]
[Yeeeeees.]
What Illness-san expressed as something she wanted to try, typical of the devoted Illness-san, was cleaning my ears. However, feeling a bit bewildered as it was still somewhat unexpected, I still nodded. Thereupon, Illness-san walked to the bed in the room and climbing up on it, she let her legs down by the side and lightly brushed her skirt on top of her thighs.
Ah~~ Errr, is this that? She’s going to clean my ears while I’m lying on her lap…… T- This is, how should I say this…… an unexpected development.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Hyiiihhh, t- the flow of this situation……]
