I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 2114: Date with Kaori and Olivia ④

Chapter 2114: Date with Kaori and Olivia ④

I'm going to take a short holiday at the end of the year because it's the busiest period back at work. So, this will be the last update for this year, and the will be on January 1.

As the drinks were prepared and the food was soon to arrive, Olivia quietly reflected. She was the one who had made the reservation at this restaurant and was fully aware of the dishes that would be served.

Among them, she had carefully selected dishes suited for what she deemed an essential act during a date meal…… feeding her date.

(The appetizer will be canapés with semi-dried tomatoes and cheese…… According to what I’ve learned about this restaurant, they serve these on thinly sliced baguette pieces with tomato and cheese on top. The portions are thoughtfully made small so that women can easily eat them in one bite…… Since it’s a dish eaten by hand, even someone like me, who isn’t fully confident in handling knives and forks, can ensure it reaches Miyama Kaito-sama’s mouth accurately. Yes, it’s best to act during the appetizer.)

Olivia was extraordinarily meticulous by nature. Though she hadn’t visited the restaurant herself, she had researched every detail about the dishes, down to their ingredients.

She had selected a menu that she believed would align with Kaito's preferences while allowing her to achieve her goal. Among these, the appetizer stood out as her top choice.

(I’ve rehea.r.s.ed this scenario in my mind. As proper etiquette when feeding food to one’s date, it’s customary to take at least one bite oneself before offering it to the other person. Considering this, the appetizer is the best choice. For other dishes, since I’d need to use the same utensils I’ve already put in my mouth to serve Miyama Kaito-sama…… Miyama Kaito-sama…… No, that won’t do! I can’t maintain composure if I let such intrusive thoughts creep in! Yes, the appetizer…… it has to be the appetizer!)

Olivia had conducted thorough mental simulations in preparation for the date. Despite this, she concluded that an indirect kiss scenario with Kaito was unbearably embarra.s.sing and should be avoided.

Yet, even after reaching this conclusion, she couldn’t help but repeatedly imagine the scene during her rehearsals. Deep down, she might have harbored a secret wish to try it.

In any case, due to these circ.u.mstances, Olivia had set her sights on the appetizer as the focus of her plan…… Yes, she had underestimated the challenge of feeding someone by hand.

[Here comes the appetizer huh. Is this tomato and cheese?]

[Yes. These are canapés with semi-dried tomatoes and cheese. You can eat them directly by hand. There’s a place to wash your fingers, and we’ve also provided wet wipes for your convenience.]

As the waiter explained the dish to Kaito, Olivia’s nervousness reached its peak. Her heart was pounding, and she felt as though her body temperature had risen slightly.

(It’s fine; this is perfectly normal. This is a cla.s.sic act during a date———— something that all couples experience…… Ah, not that Miyama Kaito-sama and I are a couple, but this is an essential step to complete the date. Timing is crucial, I mustn’t make a mistake……)

Naturally, Kaito could sense Olivia’s heightened tension, but he interpreted it as her worrying about whether the food would suit his tastes. As such, Kaito remained oblivious to Olivia’s true intentions.

Olivia followed her plan, taking one canapé and tasting it first to confirm its flavor. She then noticed that Kaito had also eaten one, prompting her to speak up.

[Miyama Kaito-sama, I made sure to study the proper etiquette for this date. I will absolutely see this dining act through to completion.]

[……Eh? Ah, yes. Errr, please do your best.]

[Yes!]

Kaito couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. After all, they were just having lunch———- why was she putting so much effort into it? However, Olivia’s next move made him somewhat understand what was going on.

Olivia picked up a canapé, carefully holding it with one hand while supporting it with the other, and blus.h.i.+ng deeply, she extended it toward Kaito.

[P- P- P- Please…… P- Please enjoy!]

[………………………]

For a moment, Kaito was unsure how to react. Based on his past experiences with Olivia, he suspected she might be slightly misunderstanding something, perhaps believing that feeding her date was an essential part of the process.

Had she asked him about this beforehand, he would have gently corrected her misunderstanding. But now, seeing her embarra.s.sed yet determined action, he realized that pointing out her mistake would only amplify her embarra.s.sment to an unbearable degree.

Thus, he decided the best approach was to go along with her for now and address the misunderstanding subtly later. Smiling warmly, he nodded at Olivia.

[Thank you. In that case, I’ll enjoy it.]

[Y- Yes———– ! ? ! ? ! ? ]

Kaito proceeded to act as Olivia had hoped, but her carefully laid plan soon faced an unexpected twist.

Given that it was a bite-sized dish being fed by hand, it was inevitable that Olivia’s fingers would briefly enter Kaito’s mouth.

Though it lasted only an instant, the warmth of his breath on her fingertips and the faint touch of his lips sent a tingling sensation through Olivia, piercing her senses and leaving her mind completely blank.

Serious-senpai : [Unlike Alice, she takes action even when blus.h.i.+ng, which makes her extremely troublesome……]

T/N: See ya next year. Happy New Year.
