Even after Kaori-san and Akane-san astoundedly left, the stall had a moderate number of customers. Camellia-san, who had said she would be coming earlier, also came and we chatted about various things, and somehow had a very enjoyable time at the stall.
[……I guess it’s almost time for the fireworks?]
[Ahh, I suppose. However, you can’t really see it from this stall, right?]
[Ahh~~ You’re right. It’s being hidden behind the building, so if we move a few distance from here and go to the main street, we should be able to see them……]
The sky was getting dark and it was almost time for the fireworks to start. I thought it would be magnificent, so I was thinking that I would like to see them, but I couldn’t just leave the store unattended.
As I was thinking this, Cento-san and Cien-san spoke.
[Since there’s an opportunity, why don’t Esteemed Sister Tre, Miyama-san and Cien go see it?]
[Since the customer traffic has settled down, I can handle the stall by myself, so why don’t Esteemed Sister Tre, Miyama-san, and Cento go and see the fireworks?]
[ [ ……………… ] ]
Almost at the same time, both Cento and Cien suggested going to go see the fireworks while they take care of the stall by themself, and they exchanged looks with each other.
[……No, Cien should go. I have had my request fulfilled at noon after all.
[……Since that is something everyone agreed to, that isn’t worth considering. Cento should go.]
Both of them are good people, so they both seemed to think that they should stay and let the others have fun. Since they’re Tre-san’s escorts, as expected, it’s also not possible for both of them to stay……
Seeing their state, a thought popped into my mind and I called out to the two of them.
[Please wait, you two…… I will be the one staying here, so the three of you can watch the fireworks.]
[Miyama-san!? W- We can’t do that.]
[That’s right, if there’s someone who will stay, I will……]
[Alright! Well then, we’ll leave tending the stall to Kaito while we watch the fireworks~~]
[ [ Esteemed Sister Tre!!! ] ]
When I told them that I would stay behind and look after the stall, the twins hurriedly tried stopping me…… but at that moment, Tre-san carefreely agreed to my words.
As expected, Tre-san knows my thoughts perfectly, or rather, she reads the atmosphere well.
[Well, I know that you two are feeling tactful, but in a situation where either Cento or Cien gets left behind, Kaito would have murky feelings about it. In that case, he would rather just have us three sisters go ourselves…… Well, that’s about it, right?]
[Yes, and this is also somewhat my way of thanking you for going along with my suggestion……]
[Uuuuu, when you put it like that…… You’re making it hard to decline.]
[Is Miyama-san alright with this?]
[Yes, everyone has gone to see the fireworks, so there will hardly be any customers, and when it gets busy, I’ll have that stuffed costume over there to help me……]
Yes, if I stay behind and it does get busy, Alice can help me out and we can handle things around here without any problems. Well, looking at the number of people around, it doesn’t look like that will be necessary……
I’m not sure if it was just that Cento-san and Cien-san also wanted to see the fireworks or not, but they complied with our persuasion and it was decided that the three of them would head off to watch the fireworks.
When they both agreed, Tre-san winked at me and I calmly gave her a thumbs-up. After all is said and done, Cento-san and Cien-san tended to support me and Tre-san, so I wanted to create an opportunity for them to have fun somewhere, so this opportunity was just right.
With Tre-san there, the two of them could enjoy themselves without any problems. Tre-san is also a person who could read the mood when necessary, so there’s no way she would just get lost at this point in time.
After sending the three of them off, I murmured while baking baby castellas.
[……Well, it does feel rough to do everything by myself……]
[In that caaaaase, until the three of them retuuuuuuurns, how about I help ouuuuuut?]
[Eh?]
Suddenly hearing a voice, when I turned my gaze up the iron plate, I saw a familiar person…… Illness-san in her casual clothes standing in front of the stall.
[Illness-san!?]
[Yeeeees. I came to see Kaito-sama’s staaaaaaall…… but it seeeeeems like I have a really timiiiiiiing. If Kaito-sama doesn’t miiiiiiiiind, would you allow me to help out a biiiiiiiiiit?]
[E- Errr, of course, that would be great but…… Is that alright with you?]
[Yeeeees. As you can seeeee, I’m currently not in the middle of woooooork.]
[……Thank you very much.]
Perhaps it’s because of her overflowing magnanimity that I tend to be spoiled by Illness-san’s kindness. Seeing Illness-san smiling at me so gently, of course, I’m feeling apologetic for having her help me out…… but the feeling of joy I feel at having her by my side exceeds that.
