After chatting with Lilia and the others for a bit, we parted ways, and Kuro and I were walking through the hall of the Sixth King Festival again.
　Currently, it seems that there is a place that Kuro really wants to take me to... something he has prepared for this day, so he is heading there.
　However, we didn't head there in a straight line, but moved at a slow pace, buying and eating along the way and looking at stalls.

　Finally, around the time the sky began to blush, we arrived at our destination.

'....What is this?　Dome?
'Hmmm, you'll be glad you came in!　No other participants are allowed in here. It's just the two of us!

　The place we arrived at was a semi-circular building about 10 meters in size. It looks like a baseball dome, though it's not the same size.
　I nodded my head at the unusual shape of the building, and Kuro walked into the building without hesitation.

　It's dimly lit inside, with just enough light to see your feet. The image is similar to a movie theater.

'Come on, we've arrived!'
Well, what's this place after all?
''Hmmm, this is a place that uses the latest technology's video recording magic tools to recreate a facility in Kite's world... yes, 'Planetaria'!
...planetarium. I mean, Black, are you actually sure you didn't make a mistake on purpose?

　Leaving aside Black, who tells me the wrong name with a cute smug look on his face.......I see, so this is a planetarium. Come to think of it, I've never seen a magic tool like a video camera in this world, and being able to project images might be an amazing new technology.
　This is probably also a technology that was difficult to realize in terms of cost, just like what Alice said yesterday.

''.........What?　　I thought you said you could do magic to create a starry sky?

　If you want to see the stars, why don't you use the magic of the night sky that was shown to you a thousand years ago before?　When I asked him that, Black opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can do it, but you shouldn't be too quick to interfere with the law of cause and effect.
...I see.
Well, anyway, why don't you come and watch the stars with us... you know, I have a chair right there!

　With a bright smile, Black pointed in the direction of what looked like a chair, although it was dimly lit and difficult to see, there was definitely something that looked like a chair... just one.

''........Hey, Black?
Yeah?
If it's not my imagination, it looks like there's only one chair...
'Yeah, right?　It's one thing, because Mr. Kite will sit in a chair and 'I'll sit on Mr. Kite's lap'.
...Oh, yeah....

　Huh?　I don't know, it was so obvious that I was convinced... but that's a bit of a bad one for a lot of reasons, isn't it?
　You know, Black isn't wearing his usual coat and he's wearing spats.

And here!
...blanket?
'Yes!　We're both wrapped up in one blanket!
...Why?

　Let's just calm down and get the information straight. I'm going to sit in a chair and look at the stars with Black in my lap. Then Kuro and I will be wrapped in one blanket. That means that the arrangement is such that I'm going to be holding Kuro from behind... and it's going to be a very embarrassing one!

'Hmmm, you've heard me out!　Yes, there's a reason why I decided to do this: it's 'higher than the sea and lower than the mountains'!
'No, no, no, it's the other way around... that makes it sound like a totally unimportant reason...'
It's because there was a situation like that in the romance novel I borrowed from Isis, and I wanted to do it with Kite, too!
It really wasn't much of a reason!

　This is a total brainstorm!　And maybe they'll build a planetarium just for that...

So, come on, Kite!　Sit down, sit down!
Uh-huh.

　There are many things I want to ramble on about, but unfortunately, I can't beat Black's smile. I did as I was prompted and sat down in the chair.
　After confirming this, Black smiled an innocent smile and sat down on my thigh.

　 He said this is seriously bad!　The spats are thinner than I imagined, and I can feel Black's body heat so clearly.
　The weight doesn't feel heavy at all, but the softness and warmth seems to resonate to the core of your body.

You're not going to be able to get it right. Blanket.
Ummmmm... like this...?
'Yes!　Ehehe, Kite.......it's warm.

　It's so cute... oh, wait!　Don't make me slap my feet!　Vibrations, because vibrations are bad!
　

'.........Oh, look, it's starting.
'Oh, ah...'

　It smells so good. Oh, that's funny........maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's just the two of us under the starry sky, but I feel more nervous than usual.
　The surroundings are surrounded by an astonishing silence, and I think even the sound of breathing can be heard clearly.

''It's........beautiful.''
Well.....
...Hey, Kite?
Yeah?
You are happy.
Oh...

　In the silence, only me and Black's voices could be heard. It was a strange sensation. My head should be so tense that it feels like it's going to boil over, but the strength of my hands holding Kuro is rather strong.
　It's as if my instincts are telling me that I don't want to let go of this lovely warmth.......

''........Hey, Kite?''
Yeah?
Can I turn around?
I don't mind.

　I nodded at Black's words and weakened my hand a little.......and he squirmed in the blanket and flipped his body around.
　In a position to straddle my waist, Black put his hands around my back and gently hugged me. The body was so tightly fitted together that I thought there was no gap between us.......yet I was still holding Black's body tighter.

'..........................I love you.

　In a deep sense of unity, as if our body heat mingles with each other and becomes one.......Black tells me in a feverish voice as he puts his mouth to my ear.
　

''........Black......I like you.''

　There was no need for any more words, and Black didn't say anything back.

　Dear Mom, Dad - well, that was it. I'm sure I'll be able to calm down and faint in agony later, but right now, it's a waste of time to think about that. Yes, for now, I'm just trying not to miss out on this little piece of warmth.
