After receiving a present from Isis-san, it seemed like the next live performance was about to begin. I heard the sounds of traditional Japanese instruments, which I thought was quite unusual, so I looked toward the stage and there stood Blossom-san along with several members of the World King camp.
I recognized some of them from the Harmonic Symphony tea party and such, so it was clear they were also guests at the party.
As for Blossom-san, she had what you might call a traditional Japanese instrument band a band made up of Japanese instruments? I mean, it was kind of fitting, but something about it felt just a little bit off.
There was someone holding a guitar that seemed like a koto, a massive taiko drum that youd only ever see at festivals, and even someone with a shamisen the size of a contrabass They looked like traditional Japanese instruments, but something about them was subtly wrong, very much in line with Blossom-sans vibe.
That said, surprisingly enough, it seemed well thought out. The performance, centered around the deep beat of the taiko drum, was stylish and carried a cool, Japanese flair. Blossom-sans singing matched it perfectly, truly impressive.
This was the first time Id seen Blossom-san actually perform, since she served as a judge for the SINGING battle during Harmonic Symphony. And yet, she sang beautifully, on par with the other Seven Princesses, with a voice that was kind of enka-like, and yet not quite. It was captivating.
To Japanese ears, there mightve been a slight sense of dissonance, but her singing was so good it made up for everything. In the end, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the performance.
After it ended, I gave a light round of applause. While they started cleaning up and preparing for the next act, I spun the prize wheel to receive a gift.
Oh, following Isis-san, now it was Dr. Vier. It was like my lovers were coming in a row. A moment later, called over by Ein-san, Dr. Vier approached with a cheerful smile.
[Miyama-kun! Happy birthday~~!]
[Thank you very much. Dr. Vier, did you play the game?]
[I did, and I even entered the tournament but, well, I nearly fell for a gimmick right at the start, and when I dodged it I ended up falling into a hole!]
[Ahaha, thats so like you, Dr. Vier But I get it, some of those gimmicks are really hard to read on your first try.]
[It was pretty tough. Anyway, heres your present!]
Dr. Vier, who had an established reputation for being a bit of a klutz, sounded like she hadnt lost because of the actual battle, but rather because she got tripped up by a gimmick. I could just picture the scene.
She let out a wry smile as she pulled out a box out of nowhere. Part of the box was semi-transparent, letting me see inside, it was filled with colorful, stylish, candle-like items.
[Thank you These are aroma candles?]
[Bingo. Its a set of handmade aroma candles, made by yours truly.]
[Eh? You made these, Dr. Vier?]
[Unn. You know I like herbs, right? A lot of aroma candles use herbs, so I figured Id try making them. I put in extra effort for this present to make them pretty, but I usually make simpler ones for myself.]
[Hehh~~ Ive never really used aroma candles before, so Im looking forward to it.]
I had a general idea of how to use them, but they always seemed a bit too stylish for me to actually try. I guess herb-related things just give off that chic vibe.
[Im glad you like them. Oh, and theres one more thing, this!]
[One more?]
[Unn. Its also an aroma candle, but this ones a bit special.]
What she handed me next was a small box about the size of a single candle. This one was opaque, and there was a tiny envelope stuck to the top.
[The envelope has a massage ticket inside. If you let me know in advance when youre free, Ill prepare a special massage for you. That candle is meant to be used then.]
[Ah, I see, so its got a relaxing effect huh?]
[Fufufu]
I thought the idea was to enhance the massages relaxing effect by lighting the candle during the session but then Dr. Vier gave me a sultry smile, leaned in close to my ear, and whispered in a sweet, seductive voice.
[That aroma candle, Ive already confirmed it shares the same name as the one in your world an aroma that makes use of ylang-ylang. Its a scent that people either love or hate, kind of syrupy and sweet They call it the scent of the night.]
[Eh? T- The scent of the night?]
[Unn. Thats why the special massage is scheduled at night. So be sure to come prepared to stay the night when you use it. I think Ill be able to soothe you plenty, buuuuut you might end up a little sleep-deprived so keep the next day free too, okay?]
W- What an incredibly seductive voice A healthy guy like me is easily swayed by that kind of thing, and now my entire consciousness was fixated on the gift Id just received.
[Fufu, you can use it whenever you like. If you like it, Ill make more for you.]
After saying that, Dr. Vier pressed a gentle kiss to my earlobe, pulled away, and gave me a cheerful, delighted smile.
Unnn. How should I say this when it comes to this kind of thing, Dr. Vier might just be the strongest among all my girlfriends I honestly dont think I stand a chance against her.
Serious-senpai : [Guh Aaah Uwaaaah Ngh Hiih]
? ? ? : [Uh, isnt she kinda groaning a lot for someone whos asleep?]
Makina : [No, no, shes not groaning in pain, shes enjoying herself.]
? ? ? : [Unn?]
Makina : [I thought it was pitiful that she couldnt see my beloved child while she was asleep, so I fixed it so she could see my beloved childs situation even in her dreams! Unn, unn, Im so kind, arent I~~?]
? ? ? : [I thought things were about to get serious since Serious-senpai fell asleep, but you went and sealed off her last escape route instead Im honestly impressed.]
Serious-senpai : [No No way This This cant be real How How could this be allowed]
