29-I do not seem to be an enemy




 A hot embrace by a beautiful woman. It's really wonderful to put into words - but as a person who has fainted, I am now traumatized.
 Since I came to this world, traumatized by baby sponge cake, traumatized by a beautiful woman's embrace...I feel a little ashamed of myself.
 Well, seeing Lilia-san apologize over and over again while she was half-crying, to the point that it made me feel sorry for her, there was no choice but to not forgive her, but.......

 Anyway, I'll be attending the meeting with the Goddess of Time, which makes me sick to my stomach, but the Goddess of Time's permission must be given before I can start this.
 There's a high probability that I'll be there, but we'll talk about it after the goddess of time has contacted me about the timing of the talks.
 After dinner and a quick chat with Ms. Kusunoki and the others, I took a bath and returned to my room.

"Welcome home~
....

 Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, there was a mass of absurdity that appeared in my room at night...
 But while it's frustrating, I can't deny the fact that I'm relieved to see his usual bright smile. Getting used to it can be scary, or maybe Black's smile is sly....

I met White today. How did you-- Huh?
Yeah?

 Black speaks to me with a bright smile as usual, but for some reason he stops speaking in the middle of his story and looks at me intently.
 Then, a little later, a rare - or perhaps the first time I've seen a surprised expression on his face.

'Black?'
...Kite. What's going on with White?
What?
I'm sure White told you that I was the one who asked him for his blessing. It's not what I was expecting... I thought White's blessing would be more appropriate than a badly conceived, inferior god's blessing... but such a solid blessing? That White?

 Apparently, Black is surprised about the blessing I received from White-san.
 I'm sure she expected me to give him the blessing at random, but she asked because it's still better than a lower-tier god's.
 In fact, at first White-san gave me a suitable blessing. That's what he said, so there's no doubt about it, but afterwards, he seemed to release it once and then give me a serious blessing again.
 When I explained the contents of the events and conversations that took place today, including that, to Black, his eyes widened again as if he was surprised.

''.........kukku.......''
Yeah?
'Hahahahahahaha!
What?

 And then he suddenly started laughing with heartfelt joy.

'Kite, did you say that? Haha, I don't think White would have expected a human to say, 'You can't do it,' either.
What did I say that was so weird?
I mean, it's amazing! I think we should be proud of ourselves! It's not every day that White takes an interest!

 Black raves about me with a smile that looks somewhat happy.
 Eh? Did I do something so outrageous? It's true that when you think about it, it may have been quite rude for a god to say that.
 Black laughed for a moment and then began to explain to me, still not fully understanding, with a smile on his face.

I'm not sure what to call it, but I'm sure it's a very egalitarian thing to do. I hate to say it, but it's very strange.
Sure, he had a strange vibe, but...
For example, there's usually more or less a difference between what you like and what you don't like, right? For example, I prefer sweet and tasty snacks to bad snacks, and of course if you ask me which one I like better, I'll say sweet and tasty.
Yes.
But White is different. To White, all the bad-tasting candy and the good-tasting candy, not only that, but life and landscape, most of the world is of equal value, and White doesn't put a value on them. He's extremely philanthropic in a sense, and extremely thin-skinned in a sense. He puts most of the world in the same category and looks at it the same way... that's the goddess Shalovanal.

 When I heard Black's explanation, the first thing that came to my mind was the image of that murderously bad baby sponge cake.
 And those eyes that made me shiver at first, those eyes that made me unsure whether they were looking at me or the scenery, that meant that to Mr. White, I was just as valuable to him as the scenery around him, the flowers and grass in that hanging garden, that's Mr. White. It's a very natural feeling for the

'But that's what White said to Kaito-kun, "I'm interested". This is even more amazing than you think, because it means that White has acknowledged your existence. This is even more amazing than I thought, because it means that White has accepted Kaito as a person. It means that he has clearly placed himself above other people who only feel the same value.
Well, uh...
'White rarely takes an interest in an individual. There are probably more of them than I can count on the fingers of one hand.

 What can I say, the story seems to be getting louder and louder.
 To be honest, my head was getting pretty confused as I listened to the words being told one after another. Rather, Shiro-san--the goddess--is a tremendous thing, and I understood once again why Lilia-san and the others were so surprised that I had been given tea, and out of nowhere a feeling of unease came out of me.
 Yup. Well to be honest, I feel more anxious about what's going to happen now than the realization that I've done something great.

''So what you won, Kite, is amazing... but...''
...What?

 I was in a whirlpool of agony and thought, when Kuro told me in a gentle tone and then suddenly pulled my hand away.
 Because of the difference in height, I was pulled downward, and I was so confused that I couldn't resist, and I fell down into a posture, and Kuro held me with a soft touch.
 My face touched Kuro's chest, and the warmth and softness of his body across the cloth. The sweet scent reaches my nostrils and into my brain, and I feel an inexplicable sense of comfort, and a gentle voice sounds.

I'm sure it's not that important, but I'm much happier that you thought about what you wanted and were able to put it into your own words, Kite.
!
You've been working hard. Now, Kite, you are so cool.

 I knew this guy was cunning.
 The confusion and anxiety I was feeling a moment ago, all of it is erased from my mind with a single word, giving me a sense of warmth and security that I can't contain - as if it's natural for me to say the words I want most.
 I'm sure I was tired after all the trouble I went through today, but it makes me want to work hard again.

 Ugh, but in terms of position, it's embarrassing to be held by a little girl and have her head stroked by a little girl, but it's no good. I feel like I've already lost when I want to indulge in this comfortable feeling of security for a little while longer.
 I was able to speak my mind to the goddess partner. I could somehow get up and face my aristocratic opponent. I was ready to participate in the dialogue that made me sick to my stomach.
 But it's just not possible to resist. Or rather, I can't even think of resisting it, and any trauma I may have had about the embrace has been completely erased.
 In fact, it's really simple, but I'm happy to think that this embrace is the best reward I've gotten today.

 Dear Mom, Dad - I'm giddy about a lot of things today. But in the end, I'm not as good as Black, I guess.
