Chapter 1734: Nighttime Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal 4

<Author’s Notes>

The third character rough draft has been published in the Activity Report.

A completely Japanese-style onsen ryokan, including the mechanical items and products within it. I can even watch TV shows within it, so I can enjoy myself in the room, but for the time being, we decided to head to the main attraction of an onsen ryokan, the onsen.

We moved with the yukata and towels that were provided in our room and came to the changing room. It seems like it would be enjoyable to soak in the onsen while looking at Mt Fuji, since we’ve come this far, let’s just embrace the situation and fully enjoy the onsen that we’ve come all this way for.

Well, that’s what I was thinking...... nove-lB(1n

[......Errr, Shiro-san? Why are you in this changing room? There are separate changing rooms for men and women, right?]

[Fumu. The only people using this onsen ryokan are me and Kaito-san, there’s no one else here. Of course, not even employees...... and we are going to take an onsen together.]

[......In other words?]

[What’s the point in having separate changing rooms?]

[......Because of embarrassment?]

[I see.]

Shiro-san nods in agreement, but those words don’t necessarily mean acceptance. Instead, Shiro-san just remains in place, gazing intently in my direction.

I’m sensing this strong determination from her, showing that she had no intention of separating changing rooms.

[This is just a simple question, but why did you want to change in the same changing room? If it’s Shiro-san, changing would only take a moment for you, wouldn’t it?]

[........................That was a blind spot. I never expected there to be such a pitfall in my “Operation: Doki☆ Mixed Bath Happening”......]

From her reaction, she really was quite surprised...... Wait, why would you even think that would work!?

[Let’s reflect on what I’ve learned here and keep this in mind in the future.]

[I suppose so. Well, people sometimes make mistakes.]

[.....................]

[......Errr? Shiro-san? Why are you still staring at me?]

[We’re currently undergoing “Operation: Doki☆ Mixed Bath Happening”, so I’m waiting for Kaito-san to move.]

That’s strange? Based on the flow of the story, isn’t this the part where the operation is a failure and was brought to an end? Eh? Wait, did you just abandon calling this a happening, and instead, thought of pushing forth this situation where I’m supposed to push you down?

[That’s right. And so, I’ll be in your care.]

[...................]

It probably goes without saying, but I could only look up to the skies with an indescribable expression on my face at that.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [This God sure has the mentality of a brave general, doesn’t she? The word “retreat” hadn’t even crossed her mind......]

The third and last character draft, Miyama Akari (Luce). Her current appearance is that of when she’s already a mother of one child...... She died when Kaito was in primary school, so she’s in her early to mid-30s.

Kaito’s hair color is the same as his mother’s, so when they stand side by side, they look more like siblings.

That will be it for new characters appearing in Volume 14, but next time, we’ll be releasing a rough sketch of Isis in her dress, which was drawn on the cover just before the release date, so please look forward to it~~
