It Seems Like the Balcony of My Room Is Connected to a Princess’s Bedroom in Another World ~The Lewd and Yandere Princess Won’t Let Me Go~ - Chapter 20: Strategy Order 10 - Launch the Fireworks

Chapter 20: Strategy Order 10 – Launch the Fireworks!

“It’s spinning! It’s spinning! It’s spinning!!”

“I’ll make it spin even more!!”

“Stop it!!”

After the haunted house, we rode various attractions, had lunch, and then rode many more attractions.

I couldn’t keep up with Anela-san’s stamina and energy, so I suggested a break.

Surprisingly, she agreed, and I ended up sitting in a teacup that spun on the floor.

Watching the amusement park scenery with a gentle rotation wasn’t bad at all.

If there was one flaw in my plan, it was that the teacup itself spun too.

“I feel like I understand the Earth’s rotation!!”

“Earth doesn’t spin this unkindly to its people!!”

As soon as Anela-san understood the mechanism, she spun the teacup at a speed that would shock Earth’s rotation.

Ignoring my screams, she kept spinning with centrifugal force that seemed to surpass gravity.

“That was fun, wasn’t it!”

“…”

Finally getting off the teacup, Anela-san looked even more energetic than before, as if she had actually rested.

In contrast, I was exhausted.

“Let’s ride the jet coaster again! —Ouch♡”

“Are you trying to destroy my insides!?”

I quickly placed the pamphlet, retrieved from the haunted house’s lost and found, on Anela-san’s head as she declared my death sentence.

“How about the Ferris wheel next?”

“Ferris wheel?”

“It’s a ride that slowly goes up, letting you see the whole amusement park.”

“Isn’t that the best!?”

As expected, fools and smoke loved high places.

Anela-san immediately switched her target from the jet coaster to the Ferris wheel.

“Wow, it’s beautiful!”

Riding the Ferris wheel and climbing a bit, Anela-san looked out and let out a sigh of admiration.

Maybe because of the teacup, a few strands of her original silver hair mixed with the wig, looking slightly fantastical.

With the sunset and all the fun we had, the view from the Ferris wheel was dazzling with city lights, reminding me of the scenery I saw beyond the balcony the day I met Anela-san.

“Shun.”

“What?”

“Thank you for bringing me to the amusement park.”

I was taken aback, never expecting words of gratitude from Anela-san’s mouth.

“I knew from the start that High School Boy’s Night’s strength secret didn’t exist.”

Her mouth dropped an even more shocking confession, astonishing me.

“What did you just say? No way…”

I couldn’t believe it, so I asked back while thinking.

Anela-san had been toying with me using that “High School Boy’s Night’s strength secret” phrase… It was like—

“Since Shun lied, I thought I’d pay you back♡”

“You did it on purpose!!”

“Did the liar say something?”

By the way, Anela-san and I sat facing each other.

So, I couldn’t help but see the devilish smirk spilling from her.

I remembered.

Or rather, I tried not to think about it, but Anela-san was always a smart girl.

Since becoming an otaku, I honestly thought she was foolish, but thinking back, she often exceeded my expectations.

A good example was when she pointed a gun at me, Dreadful Black Knight, and demanded barbecue-flavored potato chips.

But I didn’t want her to act like this was the end.

My strategy wasn’t over yet…

“Look outside.”

Yes, tonight, this amusement park would launch fireworks.

In Japan, summer meant fireworks festivals.

I wanted Anela-san to see such a traditional event.

Due to height, we couldn’t see the fireworks from the side, but we were closer to them than those on the ground.

The balls of light spreading in chrysanthemum patterns changed colors as they faded.

This way, Anela-san would—

“…”

“Say something!!”

“What are those?”

Oh no!

Anela-san didn’t know the concept of fireworks…

If I showed her something she knew, she’d smirk and say, “I know!” but if she didn’t know it, she had no comments because she didn’t understand.

As a dating newbie, entertaining a princess from another world was a bit tough.

“Beautiful…”

So, those words from Anela-san’s mouth warmed my heart.

“They’re called fireworks, you know?”

“Fireworks?”

“They use the properties of metal called flame reactions—”

“I think I’ve fallen for you, Shun…”

“Huh?”

As I explained to Anela-san like usual, I couldn’t believe her sudden words and asked back.

“Since your surroundings are men-free, and I’m the only guy—”

“No?”

Anela-san’s face, briefly downcast, lifted, and a gentle smile spilled out.

“I’ve fallen for you, Shun.”

She repeated gently yet firmly.

“That means…”

“At first, since Father kept men away from me, I thought meeting you was lucky.”

“Your wording…”

“But being with you is so fun, and when you held my hand, my heart raced, so I finally realized my feelings.”

My heart raced too…

I was thrilled when Anela-san took my hand today, and I sometimes held hers on impulse because I wanted to.

I didn’t want to admit it… but I had already fallen for her.

At first, I thought she was a sulky, perverted princess, and touching a girl’s breasts felt super lucky.

But when Anela-san first returned beyond the balcony, I felt a bit lonely.

Since she started hanging out in my room, my heart wouldn’t stop racing, and being with her was so fun.

Once I became aware of her as a person, I got too embarrassed to touch her and felt scared to.

“Do you… hate me?”

“I—”

As I asked, fearing my answer, Anela-san’s lips touched mine.

They were soft and faintly smelled of lavender.

At that moment, a particularly large firework exploded in the sky.

No, that might sound too convenient, so let me rephrase…

The fireworks that kept rising were also launched when I shared my first kiss with Anela-san.
