After watching the choral competition in the park, I walked once more along the bustling street together with Isis-san. There were plenty of Christmas-like decorations, and Isis-san kept darting her gaze around curiously, as if everything were new to her.[Christmas is a festival from Kaitos world right? Compared to the Christmas in this world how is it?]
[Well, the decorations and the overall atmosphere feel pretty similar, I think. But the Christmas I can think of is more like having a party at home. You prepare things like turkey a whole roasted poultry, cakes, and spend time with people close to you, exchanging Christmas presents, thats the image I have.]
[You dont really go out much around that time then?]
[No, not necessarily. A lot of people do spend it at home with their families, but there were also plenty who went on Christmas dates with their lover.]
When I think of my own Christmas memories, its mostly from when I was little.. nothing as grand as a party, really, just a day with slightly fancier food than usual with Mom and Dad. The main event was always the Christmas present waiting by my pillow the next morning.
I believed in Santa Claus until around the third grade, but even after I learned the truth, waking up to a neatly wrapped present by my pillow still made me happy.
Well, as for things like a lovers Christmas or a holy night, I never really had much connection to that sort of thing. So if you asked me what couples actually do on a Christmas date, I honestly dont know all that well
[Then today its a Christmas date for me and Kaito right?]
[Yeah.]
Isis-san smiled shyly, and she was unbelievably adorable. Right, in the past things were different, but now I had a girlfriend so cute she could practically be called an angel. It made this Christmas feel like I was enjoying something entirely different from my childhood holidays.
[There are lots of food stalls too. Since were here, should we eat something?]
[Unn we eat chicken right? Then how about that stall?]
[W- Well, we certainly eat chicken lets stop by that one.]
The stall Isis-san pointed to certainly was selling chicken- a yakitori stand. It wasnt wrong; eating grilled poultry certainly counted. Still, whether yakitori should be considered a particularly Christmassy dish was a bit debatable.
That said, plenty of people eat fried chicken instead of turkey or roast chicken anyway. And as street food, yakitori on a skewer is easy to eat, so maybe it was actually the right choice.
As we moved in front of the yakitori stall, a pleasant, basil-like aroma drifted over. Instead of sauce or salt, it seemed more like basil chicken, and it looked delicious in its own way.
Since Isis-san said she didnt eat very much, we bought one large skewer of yakitori with the intention of sharing it, then stepped away from the stall.
[Kaito can eat first After Kaito eats Ill eat too.]
[Got it. Then Ill take a bite Oh, its light and really good. Go ahead, Isis-san.]
[Thank you Ill have some.]
The chicken on the skewer was fairly large and satisfying, and the basil-chicken-style flavor was really tasty. After I took one piece, I lightly held the skewer and offered it to Isis-san She moved gracefully, gently holding her hair aside so it wouldnt touch the food, and took a bite.
Of the piece of chicken Id eaten in one mouthful earlier, she only ate about a third, then smiled cutely.
[Its delicious But maybe the order was a mistake I shouldve eaten first and let Kaito eat the rest Its a little big to eat in one bite.]
[Thats true Then lets do it this way, Isis-san takes a bite, then Ill eat the rest.]
[Unn.]
Sharing a single skewer of yakitori like this felt surprisingly romantic it really made me feel like we were on a Christmas date.
Of course, even if it was a big skewer, it was still just one, so we finished it quickly. I tossed the skewer into the trash and started thinking about which stall to visit next, when suddenly Isis-san seemed to have noticed something.
[Ah Kaito youve got a little sauce on you.]
[Huh? From the yakitori? Errr]
[Hold still.]
Before I could even ask Where?, Isis-san told me not to move. She gently placed a hand against my cheek, leaned in close, and lightly kissed me.
The kiss landed slightly off-center from my lips, followed immediately by the sensation of her tongue lightly licking the spot When she pulled back, Isis-san, somehow already holding a handkerchief, softly wiped beside my lips, smiling as she did so.
[Ehehe now its clean.]
[Thank you Ah, but maybe theres some on the inside of my lips too?]
[Ah that might be true then Ill clean it one more time.]
Perhaps realizing my intention from my words, Isis-san leaned in again, her face lit up with a delighted smile.
