After finishing breakfast, I set off on a date with Alice.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure there's still time before lunch, and since it's a good opportunity, I decided to look around with Alice.

'Kite, the food stalls are over there, right?
"...you just ate...
I can eat as much as I want with other people's money!
....

　Alice, dressed and masked as usual, with her best smug face and her little chest heaving.
　Yeah, it looks like she's totally back in the swing of things, and it's just the same as usual Aris.

''Well, well, just kidding about that.......what do you want to do?　Do you want to watch a puppet show?
A puppet show?　Is there some kind of theater somewhere?
Oh, no, there's a plaza a short walk away where minstrels and the like often gather, and we usually have two or three of them there. It's a tweak system.
'Heh, I thought I'd been around quite a bit when I came to this town, but I didn't know that part.

　Do you mean the Artistic Plaza or something like that?　I've been living in the royal capital of the Symphonia Kingdom for almost half a year now, and I thought I had been to many places, but.......I couldn't see everything in this large royal capital, and the area I've been to might be quite limited.

''It's far away from the section with shops and stalls. From Duke Lilia's residence, you have to go beyond the living quarters, so you may not have much of a chance to go there.
'Hmmm.......wait a minute. Beyond the living quarters?　That's, if I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, it's the 'opposite' of this place from the center of King's Landing.......
Yeah, right?

　Apparently the place Alice is talking about is in the opposite position to Lilia-san's mansion, considering the royal castle as the center.
　Funny...Didn't Alice say it was just a short walk away earlier?　I said it for sure.
　But no matter how you imagine it, a little isn't far enough... I mean in Alice's sense!
　King's Landing is a rather large city, and I'm sure it's a bit too far for me, a human, to walk, but....

Hey, Alice how are you going to get there?
Oh, I'll take care of that!

　Oh, you're feeling pretty confident. I mean, that's right, even if I've never been there, Alice knows where it is, and she can use transfer magic to move around, right?
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''..........I see, the shifting magic--hmm?''
Good boy.
...What?

　But my expectations were shattered with a light floating sensation.
　It's not a matter of whether I'm weightless or not, Alice is lifting me up in her arms, so to speak, as if she's a princess. Yes, there is already something wrong with me, and before I get embarrassed, I have a horrible feeling that it's not good for me.

So, fires away!
What?　What?

　With a dumb shout, Alice kicks the ground and then leaps onto the roof of a nearby building as a stepping stone..................High, high!
　

　Eh?　What is this?　What is this?　That's how you go about it!　It's going to be like jumping up and down!　Oh, we just jumped the castle.

'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... Why do you move like this?　There must be something more to it than that!
''Because this is the most interesting... oh, no, I'm just trying to make sure Kite-san enjoys the view of the royal capital to the fullest.
...you.
Oops, I guess I didn't put the right amount of pressure on it - it's going to jump up into the clouds.
What?　You're not ready for the next jump--whoa!

　While spitting out such a joking line about how she made a mistake in her strength 'before jumping', Alice leaps high enough to break through the clouds as she said.
　As expected of the Sixth King, great leg strength........not!　What are you doing, you idiot!

　I mean, if it's rising this fast, it's going to be a problem with the pressure change and all that....

'Oh, I'm defending myself in that area, so I'm fine!
"Are you paying attention to the wrong things?　You, remember that when you're down there!
'Oops - I've lost my balance and spun around...'
'Whoa!

　Like a roller coaster, Alice carried me by leaping over and over again while spinning in the air.






It's just that.....
You're...
'Geez!　Hey, you can take your cheeks off...　

　We moved like a screaming attraction at an amusement park and managed to get to the place we wanted to be.
　And for now, Alice instantly made him sit upright and decided to keep pulling his cheeks and ears as much as possible.

'.........There it is........just adding some spice to a fun date.......'
We don't need that spice!

　He's not even in his element. He's even more of a joke than usual. He's really annoying.
　Well, I don't want to waste any more time lecturing him, so I'll end it here and go see the puppet show.
　However, I don't like the pace at which Alice is going, so I should think of some way to counterattack.

　With this in mind, I was about to head to the square with Alice, who had gotten up, when it occurred to me that I had to do something.

Now, let's get back on track and go....heh?
Well, let's take our time. Why don't we take our time?
'What?　Oh, what?　Mr. Kite?　Why are you 'holding my hand'?

　As a counterattack to Alice, he takes her hand as she is about to walk away and quickly intertwines their fingers into a lover's connection.

'Hm?　See, we're lovers, that's normal, right?
'Ggh!　So, there you are........but it's sweet!　Do you think I'm thousands of times more alive than Kaito-san... unfortunately, I'm not going to be embarrassed by something like this!
"...'My right hand and right foot are out together'?
Well I'm feeling that way today.

　Alice has also apparently sensed that it's my counterattack, and is trying to pass it off as an act of calmness... and is instantly ragged.
　Alice, who walks around with movements like a badly made tin doll, is tense from all appearances.

''.............Huhuhuhuhu, what's wrong?　Are you running out of options?
Hey, Alice...
What is it?
You may be all cool but you're a little flushed.
Meow!

　Yes, he may think he's trying to be calm, but Alice's face was bright red up to her ears.
　When I pointed that out to her, Alice made a cat-like sound and turned her face away from me in a panic.

'Nah, what are you saying..................Oh, that thing!　It just looks that way at sunset!
"...can't we at least have a morning glow there?　No, well, it's ten o'clock and there's no morning glow or crap, but...
''Ahhhhhhhhh, Alice has just now gone deaf. I can't hear her at all!
Cute, Alice.
Oh ... oh ... oh ...

　I had already grasped that Alice was weak to straightforward compliments.
　In fact, if you tell her she's cute, she's already blushing as if she's about to get steamy, and her gaze is swimming around in a flurry.

　Seeing Alice like that somehow made me want to make her more embarrassed, so I told her various compliments and looked at her, and by the time we reached the plaza, she was turning her eyes around with a feverish look on her face.

　Dear Mom and Dad - Alice was back in her element, and she was starting to look like she was...well, more of a joke than usual.
