The 29th day of the windy month. As soon as I woke up in the morning, I told Lilia and the others honestly what happened yesterday and apologized.
　Of course I was very embarrassed, but when I told them that I didn't like peppers, they laughed at me with warm eyes.
　Moreover, you can't put a door in people's mouths, and in the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the house... By mid-afternoon, it was already a known fact in the house that I hated peppers.

　The woman serving as the head chef looked at me like a parent watching her child and said, "I know what foods you don't like, but do you have a favorite food? He asked me if I was a hamburger, and I answered honestly, because I've learned that fudging in a weird way can lead to bad things....
　After hearing that, the head chef laughed for a moment and then said he was going to have hamburgers for dinner tonight, which made him more embarrassed.
　I don't know if it's because of our age difference or if the head chef thinks of me as a son or something, but I remember he seemed to be enjoying himself.

　The food I like to eat is hamburgers and the food I don't like is green peppers....my taste buds are a bit childish, aren't they?　It's kind of sad that I can't deny it.
　Incidentally, the ones who reacted kindly were Zeke and Lilia, neither of whom would talk about the topics I liked, and they smiled at me to say they were glad I wasn't sick.

　But there are some people who are rightfully amused... yeah, it goes without saying. It's a bad maid.

''........Oh?　This is Mister Miyama, who hates peppers.
....

　Lunamaria-san is really woozy like a fish out of water, and this is what it's like to accidentally pass each other in the hallway.
　
　So I decided to try a different approach as a counterattack.

''.........Speaking of which, I just overheard a little bit of that.......but for what it's worth, Lunamaria-san is not good with insects or something......''
"...how did you know that...

　And apparently it worked better than I thought it would, Lunamaria-san pulled back a smile and made an upset expression.

''No, not really, so I'm not saying what to do, but...''
Mr. Miyama, may I talk to you about something unrelated?
'What?　Yes.
"...No, you see, I think it's inevitable that we all have things we're not good at and things we're not good at. I think it's something that we as an individual organism can't help, and I don't think it's something we should be ashamed of.
Well that's certainly true.

　I was tempted to tell her to remember the lines and expressions I said to myself a moment ago, but I held back and waited for Lunamaria's next words.
　Probably because I thought it would be more beneficial for me.


'....Do you hate bugs that much........'
I hope those creatures will perish from this world.
Well, I see.

　So what Lunamaria is saying is that from now on Lunamaria will not make fun of my dislike of peppers. In return, I'd like you to stop making fun of Lunamaria's dislike of insects as well which is a sort of truce proposal.
　It seems that she dislikes bugs more than I thought, and she's probably afraid that I might get angry and catch some insects or something.

I understand what you're saying. We will not interfere in this matter with each other what do you think?
I have no objection to it.

　Anyway, I'm also embarrassed to be teased about my childish likes and dislikes, so I decide to take Lunamaria-san's suggestion.
　Thus, a strange sense of solidarity is born between me and Luna Maria-san...








　And besides Luna Maria-san, there was someone else who seemed to enjoy hearing about my dislike of peppers.

''Fufu, Kaito-senpai, you have quite a childish side to you.......you're kind of cute.
''Ugh........Hi, Hina?　That's not a compliment.

　Youna, who tells me happily on the way to run with me from time to time, seems to be having a great time since this morning.
　However, I don't feel like she's teasing you like Luna Maria, but rather, she's genuinely enjoying getting to know your unexpected side.
　But you have to remember, pretty to a man, it's never a compliment... no, it may be a compliment to some, but it's not a compliment to me.

'Haha, sorry. But it's so much nicer and friendlier to have something you can't do or aren't good at than it is to be able to do everything with a man.
Uh-huh. Is that so?
Oh, but I feel like there are more things that Kaito-senpai can't do, though. And sometimes he's unreliable.
'What?　

　Youna's words, which she tells me happily, do enormous damage to my tiny pride. It's called a crushing blow.
　This may be proof that we've become close, but the two juniors have been pretty unforgiving towards me lately.

　I've been thinking about it, Youna looks a little flustered and continues to wave her hand as she continues to speak.

It's not that I'm making fun of you, you know.　It's rather familiar, and I, you know, I like it a lot.
...What?
It is true that there are a lot of things that Kaito-senpai can't do, but at the same time................................it's true. There are many more good things about him.
Oh, thank you.

　Youna's cheeks were as red as apples when she told me that, and her bashful smile was very bright.

''Su, I'm sorry!　Heh, now that's a weird story!　Come on, let's get pumped up and run!
Huh?　Oh, wait!　Early?
Look, look, Kaito-senpai, I'm going to leave you alone.
Well, wait....you're not going that fast...

　Seeing Yona happily speeding up, I hurriedly follow her, astonished at her speed, which is probably faster than my full speed.
　Ummmmm. I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.








　It was the 30th day of the month of the wind. It was on this morning, the last day of the month of the wind, that the incident occurred.

　As I waited for the delicious breakfast to be brought to me, the door of the dining hall opened with a bang before the breakfast arrived.

'Kai-chan!　It's me!
"...Oh, good morning. Mr. Fate.

　
　It's always a good idea to skip work and come to the party this time, too.
　When I returned the greeting with that in mind, Fate-san smiled a cute smile and said the unexpected.

''Yeah, good morning. Kai-chan........let's get started, but let's go to the 'Hydra Kingdom' with me now!
"...What?　No, what's the matter with you all of a sudden...
'Thank you!　I knew Kai would be willing to agree to it!
Huh?　No, no!　Still nothing.........why are you holding my arm?　After that, that magic circle!
So, let's get ready.
What?

　 ... my body was bathed in light.

　Dear Mom, Dad - the day after I confessed my dislike of peppers. I was forcibly taken to the Hydra Kingdom by Fate-san, who came to me without warning. I have no idea why this is happening or what's going to happen from now on... but at least--listen to the people!








　After watching the momentary events of the pleasant man being taken away, Lilia and the others began to work on the breakfast that had been brought to them as if nothing in particular had happened.

''........Huh, again.......''
Well, you're a good man, aren't you?
And he's senior to Kaito.
It's Miyama-sama...

　Looking at Lilia, who lets out a huge sigh while smearing jam on the bread, Aoi, Youna, and Lunamaria mutter as if to say that it's the same as usual.
　Lilia lightly waves her hand while slumping her shoulders with a gulp after hearing those words and gives them instructions.

''Please........bring the stomach pills.
'Miss, I don't think it's time for you to swallow your stomach pills first...'
...
...It's a horrible story that I can't deny.
