Chapter 2007: Park Date ①
I paid the entrance fee and entered the park with Illness-san. Instead of entering through the gate as I expected, there was a door next to the gate that pedestrians use. It seems the gate is used when arriving by carriage.
Upon entering, the first thing that caught my eye was a vast green carpet…… a lawn area. Or rather, from what I see, most of the park appeared to be lawn, with large trees and benches scattered around.
I see, as Illness-san mentioned earlier, this place is primarily for relaxation. It\'s not meant to be a tourist spot like a botanical garden, but rather a place where you can leisurely rest on the grass or relax in the shade of a tree.
To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive when I heard there was an entrance fee and that the park catered to the nobility, but I’m relieved to see that it’s not overly grandiose…… this is exactly the kind of atmosphere I hoped for.
[It’s got a nice atmosphere. And there’s barely anyone here……]
[This paaaaark is designed so that visitors can spend their time leisurelyyyyy, and they were apparently limiting the number of entrants to allow thaaaaat. So, we were lucky to come during a quiet tiiiiiime.]
[Right. It looks like we’ll be able to relax…… Where should we go?]
[How about that shaded lawn over theeeeere?][Ah, that’s nice. It’s not too hot, but the sunlight is a bit strong, so the shade will be more comfortable.]
Since this wasn’t the kind of place where you move around a lot, we decided to find a spot to settle down and relax. After consulting with Illness-san, we chose to spend time under a large tree.
The lawn was really beautiful, and I felt like lying down on it…… but since I was wearing somewhat nicer clothes today, I decided against it. I had a leisure sheet in my magic box, so I figured we could spread that out and sit on it instead.
[I just remembered somethiiiiing……]
[Yes?]
As we were walking toward the tree, Illness-san casually spoke.
[Someone once told me somethiiiiing. That my essence is devotiooooon. It’s a bit grandiose to call it my esseeeeeence, but I suppose they meant that it\'s my nature to enjoy doing things for others.]
[I think what they said makes a lot of sense……. Honestly, you’ve helped me out so much, and I can’t argue with the fact that you’re kind and devoted.]
In fact, Illness-san now takes care of most of the housework at my home, and as always, she’s helping me with everything in my daily life, which I deeply appreciate.
As before, she still cuts my hair, and when you add all of that together, I had always been in her care.
Them describing Illness-san as devoted seems to fit perfectly with her personality. It feels almost motherly……. like she always seems to enjoy herself when she’s taking care of things around me.
[Yeeees. I personally think their evaluation is spot ooooon. That being saaaaaaid, today’s date has been very enjoyable and I feel very happyyyyyy, but perhaps due to my natuuuuure, I find myself wanting to do something for Kaito-sama. And so, if it\'s alright with youuuu, would you indulge me in a small selfish requeeeeest?]
[Eh? Yes, of course, I don\'t mind….. but what is it?]
Honestly, I don’t think wanting to do something for me counts as being selfish at all…… but in any case, it’s certainly not something I’d have an issue with.
Considering the timing, it seems like it’s something she’d like to do here in the park.
[How about a lap pillow while resting in the shaaaaaade?]
……The expression on Illness-san\'s face as she said this with a smile was so gentle that, as I found myself captivated, I nodded without hesitation.
