Chapter 1604: Nebula's New Creation ⑤ After visiting Jutia-san, I finally went to visit Ein-san.
It seems that the Opinion Exchange Meeting she had with the World Maid Association had already ended, and when I visited Kuro’s castle, she pleasantly welcomed me.
[Welcome, Kaito-sama.
] [Hello, I’m sorry for the sudden visit today.
] [No, Kaito-sama is always welcome here.
It’s just, my apologies.
Kuromu-sama is currently away at the moment, attending a regular meeting for her trading companies.
] [Ahh, no, this time, I didn’t come here for Kuro, but for you, Ein-san.
] It seems that Ein-san thought I came to visit Kuro.
Indeed, after inquiring about her situation once, I simply said “Do your best over there” without stating the purpose of my inquiry before visiting them again.
That being the case, it’s not surprising that Ein-san thought my business was for someone else, not for her.
The reason why I didn’t tell her my business when I first asked her via hummingbird was because I didn’t really want to get involved in whatever mysterious rituals the Maid World is doing…… [Kaito-sama wanted to see me?
] [Yes, actually, Nebula has cultivated new tea leaves and I’m shari———-] [Thank you very much!!!
] [———–Wait, Ein-san!?
] I hadn’t fully conveyed all of my intentions yet, but before I knew it, Ein-san instantly appeared before me.
She held my hands with both of hers, looking at me with sparkling eyes.
She’s just like Jutia-san…… No, her intensity felt even greater than hers.
Moreover, she’s so close…… close enough that if I move a little bit, we would end up kissing.
[U- Umm, Ein-san?
] [Nebula-sama’s new creation!
How wonderful.
When one speaks of the new creation of Nebula-sama, the one who cultivated those tea leaves, embarrassing this may sound, but I couldn’t help feeling excited!
] [I- I guess so.
You’re conveying that thought so much that I feel like it’s too much…… It’s just, umm, you’re pretty close, so let’s calm down a bit……] [……Oya?
Please excuse me.
] I could feel Ein-san’s enthusiasm, but in any case, her face is too close.
It may be a bit late to say this, but Ein-san is an incredibly beautiful person.
Being so close to her that I can feel her breath makes me nervous.
If you exclude her extreme obsession about maids, Ein-san exudes an atmosphere of a calm and composed capable adult woman, akin to her position as the eldest daughter of Kuro’s family…… No, seriously, if we exclude topics related to maids, I think Ein-san would have a relatively proper personality…… I’ll say this again, but that’s if we exclude topics related to maids…… [……Errr, Ein-san?
] [Face slightly reddening and body temperature rising…… Fumu, being close to my face, Kaito-sama became tense…… No, in this case…… Can I take it as Kaito-sama being conscious of me?
] Even though Ein-san apologized for being so close, she showed no sign of pulling away at all.
On the contrary, she seemed quite interested, observing my behavior closely.
[Y- You’re right.
I was surprised by the sudden situation, so I’m feeling tense.
] [I see…… I apologize for repeating the question, but in this case, is the nervousness due to surprise?
Or perhaps, have you become somewhat conscious of me as someone of the opposite sex?
] [……I- If I really had to answer that…… It’s the latter, I guess?
] [I see, I see……] Eh?
The heck is with this embarrassment play?
Why is it that I’m being asked such embarrassing questions?
I was supposed to come here only to deliver tea…… but later on, I somehow feel like Ein-san seems to be enjoying herself.
Thinking that way, as the cool expression Ein-san usually has turning to a smile, she spoke.
[……Well then, why don’t we go further and have a kiss?
Kaito-sama is the one I love second in the world, but as someone of the opposite sex, you are the one I love the most, so I’m completely fine with it, you know?
] [Hahh!?
Wait, E- Ein-san!??
W- W- W- What are you suddenly……] [……Fufu, please excuse me.
I found myself wanting to tease Kaito-sama a little bit.
] Ein-san said, a mischievous smile on her lips…… Ein-san may appear cool, but she does have a reasonably playful side like this, so she occasionally engages in teasing words or actions like this.
It was the same when we were taking a mixed bath during the Six Kings Festival, but the fact that I couldn’t tell how serious she was being is somewhat bewitching.
As I was thinking this, Ein-san pulled her face away from mine, lightly stroking her lips with her finger.
Due to her previous statement though, my gaze naturally shifts towards her lips.
[……By the way, Kaito-sama.
Out of simple curiosity, I have a question……] [Yes?
] [If one kisses while time is stopped, would those count in the number of kisses one does?
Or perhaps, do kisses not count if the other party isn’t aware of it?
] [……Eh?
W- Why are you asking…… Eh?
D- Don’t tell me……] [I wonder, what do you think?
Fufufu.
] As I watched Ein-san giggle with a playful smile on her lips after saying that, I felt like my cheeks became warmer than they were just a moment ago.
Serious-senpai : [Fuaaahhh———–!?
] ?
?
?
: [Ah, she got blown away by the unexpected surprise attack.
