I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 2093: Date Plan Execution ㉚

Chapter 2093: Date Plan Execution ㉚

With Kaito's few words, Olivia's heart was in turmoil, so much so that the calm state of mind she had maintained until just moments ago seemed like a distant memory. Her thoughts spiraled endlessly, unable to settle, leaving her unsure whether she was overjoyed or simply bewildered.

(W- Why am I this shaken…… That remark just now was, if anything, a mere pleasantry. The references I studied even mentioned such exchanges…… Surely, the correct response here is to smile and offer a word of thanks.)

Yes, her mind understood that much. She had even studied how to handle such situations beforehand. However, as is often the case, theory and practice are not the same. Though she had prepared for the possibility of Kaito commenting on or complimenting her attire, the moment he actually said it, her mind went blank, and everything fell apart.

[……Olivia-san?]

[Ah, m- my apologies! T- T- T- Thank, thank you so much! I’m deeply honored that Miyama Kaito-sama would say such a thing…… M-Miyama Kaito-sama, you too…… you too……]

Though the shock was considerable, she managed to utter some form of grat.i.tude in response to the compliment. It was far from the poised image she had envisioned in her mind, but she had at least managed to respond.

With that in mind, Olivia attempted to continue by complimenting Kaito in return. Since he had praised her attire, it seemed fitting to comment on his. However, this too veered far from her expectations, as she struggled to find the words.

(……I- Isn't he just too dazzling? He’s practically divine. From the start, Miyama Kaito-sama’s appearance has been so magnificent that he could be considered one of the world’s greatest treasures———— a radiant embodiment of the sun itself. Yet today, with a different outfit, his entire presence feels transformed…… Can simply changing one’s clothes alter the atmosphere this drastically?! Everything about him is so refined and polished, it’s almost overwhelming. P- Perhaps, isn’t this something that should be admired casually but rather immortalized with the latest recording magic tool, framed in the finest quality, and displayed in a prayer chamber?)

Today, Kaito was wearing an outfit he had purchased earlier in the Hydra Kingdom, giving him a slightly more mature appearance compared to his usual attire.

Olivia, utterly captivated by his look, could only stare at him with a flushed expression, her lips moving soundlessly as no words came forth.

Indeed, Olivia had refined her spirit leading up to this day. She had resolved to channel all her nervousness and distractions into pure grat.i.tude toward Kaito, elevating her feelings to a higher plane.

However, in truth, this meant she had spent nearly all her time leading up to this moment thinking solely about Kaito, effectively amplifying her feelings for him to the extreme…… Far from achieving a calm state of mind, she had instead reached a point where even a small compliment from Kaito left her completely overwhelmed.

As a result, she overreacted to even minor compliments from Kaito. Despite already holding Kaito in such high regard that she constantly praised him in her heart, today he appeared twice as dazzling as usual, leaving Olivia feeling utterly defenseless before him.

In short, rather than attaining a composed heart, Olivia had become far more susceptible to Kaito than ever before.

[……I deeply apologize once again. Miyama Kaito-sama’s attire is also truly splendid. I am profoundly grateful to have the honor of beholding your divine figure.]

[Thank you. Once again, I look forward to spending the day with you.]

[Y- Yes! Please leave everything to me!]

Borrowing Alice's words, Olivia had fully entered what could be called her "Sh*tty Noob Mode", but even so, she somehow managed to regain a semblance of composure…… or at least maintain an outward facade of it———– to keep the conversation moving.

The fact that today’s schedule had already been decided worked in her favor. While she was still fl.u.s.tered, the predetermined plans meant she simply needed to follow the itinerary without issue.

[Well then, let’s head to the location right away. Miyama Kaito-sama, Mizuhara Kaori, I’ll be teleporting us…… Please hold my…… ah…… um…… h- h- hand…… No, touch me somewhere…… Ah, no, it should be the hand after all……]

[Ahh, you need to make physical contact for the teleportation, right? Then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll hold your hand.]

[Fueehhh!?]

[Eh? Ah, sorry.]

[N- N- N- No, i- i- it’s fine! There’s absolutely no problem at all. Please, allow me to take your hand.]

[……I’ve never seen Olivia-sama this fl.u.s.tered before. As expected of Kaito-kun……]

Overreacting to even the smallest things, Olivia was filled with unease about how the day would proceed. Yet, while doing her best to maintain her composure, she activated the Teleportation Magic.

Serious-senpai : [T- The Sh*tty Noob Mode…… No, but unlike Alice's Sh*tty Noob Mode, she still tries to take action, which I feel like would often lead to her setting herself up for self-destruction.]
