After putting in the money…… The popcorn and drink I ordered automatically came out and I brought them with me to the screen where the movie I want to see is playing.

  The structure of this movie theater really is like an authentic one, and they seemed to have more than one screen here.

  When I arrived at the screen we will be watching and moved to the seat number on the ticket I bought from the ticket machine…… I looked back at Shiro-san because, for some reason, the other seats were normal but our seats had suddenly been changed to that couple seat I had seen earlier.

  [……Shiro-san, only this seat is somehow different.]

  [How mysterious.]

  [……You’re…… right.]

  It was obvious who the culprit was, but it would be useless to say anything about it. I was also surprised at the difference of our seat from the others and a little taken aback by her quick actions, but I didn’t really mind it, so I just sat down on that seat.

  I do feel a bit nervous about the fact that we were alone in a dimly lit movie theater, literally reserved for the two of us……


  [Kaito-san, ahhn.]

  [Eh——- Nomn…… Popcorn?]

  [I heard that if you want to flirt, the first 15 minutes in a movie theater is the best time to do it.]

  The first 15 minutes? Ahh, because they’re playing commercials for other movies? Well, I think we should make too much noise when the room gets dark…… but as far as this place is concerned, it’s completely reserved for us, so there really isn’t any problem.

  [I’d also like to try some of Kaito-san’s popcorn.]

  [It should taste the same though…… Here you go.]

  [Ahhn.]

  If she wanted us to exchange popcorn with each other, wouldn’t it be better if the both of us got different flavors? Having such a thought in mind, I let Shiro-san eat the popcorn.

  How should I say this…… Here in this movie theater in the Sanctuary, it’s really just the two of us, and even if we were to act boldly here…… Even if it was to flirt with Shiro-san just as she wanted, there would be some leeway in my embarrassment, so I might be able to be a little bolder.

  [……Hoohhh……]

  [Ahh……]

  The only thing I had carelessly forgotten about…… was that the person next to me could read my mind…… No, people had been reading my mind as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, so that had completely slipped my mind.

  Shiro-san looks like she’s thinking about something, and from the flow of things, it doesn’t feel like she’s thinking of anything good.

  [Kaito-san, it’s a disaster.]

  [Eh? What happened?]

  [My hands are still available. Isn’t this quite a disaster?]

  Does she want us to hold hands? I thought she was going to start saying absurd things again, but it was a surprisingly normal request. No, it’s not like I’m troubled that she made that request……


  [Let’s do this then.]

  For the time being, as requested by Shiro-san, I held one of her hands, our fingers interlocking with each other. Thinking that this should satisfy her, I turned my gaze back to the screen….. when immediately after, Shiro-san leaned her head on my shoulder.

  Her pleasant aroma that tickles my nostrils, the slight weight and warmth of her body…… Feeling this, I involuntarily moved my gaze away from the screen and met the beautiful golden eyes that were looking back at me.

  Silver hair that seems to shine even in the dim light, and her divine beauty that is so well-defined that it’s cheating…… I thought I had already gotten used to her beauty, but when I suddenly look at her like this, her mystical beauty takes my breath away.

  Immediately after that, I noticed that Shiro-san had suddenly let go of my hand, and putting her hand behind my neck, she brought her face close to mine. It doesn’t seem like she came for a kiss though, as she peeked into my eyes…… With her face so close to me that I could feel her breath on my face, she stared intently into my eyes.

  [……Kaito-san.]

  [Eh? Ah, yes.]

  Even if we’re lovers, looking at Shiro-san’s face this close to me really makes me nervous.

  [Do you remember what I said before when we were talking with the God of Time and Space, Lilia Albert and Kuro’s attendant, Ein?]

  [What do you mean?]

  [I said that I’m Kaito-san’s capture target, and we’re in a relationship that would eventually develop into a sexual relationship.]

  [……C- Come to think of it, you did say something like that.]

  I remembered how the atmosphere froze when she said that.

  [However, in the first place, the me of that time did not know much about love. Therefore, I think it was a mistake to say that. I now understand that developing a sexual relationship isn’t where it ends.]

  […………………..]

  [But unfortunately, there are still many things I may misunderstand and things I do not know.]

  [……Errr.]

  Saying that much, Shiro-san moved her head away for a bit…… and spoke with a smile that I thought was beautiful from the bottom of my heart.

  [……But someday, when we reach that point, I hope you can teach me well.]

  [……Y- Yes. Errr, I’ll do my best.]

  [Fufu, it’s good to hear you say that. I’m looking forward to it.]

  After saying this, Shiro-san suddenly brought her face close to mine and gave me a quick peck, just a touch of our lips. She then sat back down, held my hand again and looked towards the screen.

  Before I could say anything in response to her, the room darkened and the movie started playing on the screen.

  It was too dark to see the expression Shiro-san had on her face, but I understood that my face must have been blushing profusely right now. Shiro-san really is growing…… I mean, it’s frightening how she’s even becoming more and more attractive than before.

  Seriously, if I don’t keep my nerves up here, when that time Shiro-san had mentioned earlier came, I might end up just indulging myself with Shiro-san’s affection if I wasn’t careful.

  ……Needless to say, I couldn’t concentrate much on the movie after that.

  Serious-senpai : [Guhaaaaaaaa…… S- Seriously…… Ever since the Afterstory started, the sweetness keeps on getting up every time she appears…… It hurts……]
