The romance movie we were assigned to watch for the Trick House task was a classic adolescent love story, and although I kinda feel like Iāve watched this before, it was still interesting to watch.
When I looked at Kuro to see how she was feeling, I found that she was watching the movie with a very serious look on her face, as if she was thoroughly digesting it, not having any sweet atmosphere around her, but with the face of the honorary president of a magic tool trading company.
Well, for Kuro, this was a chance to significantly advance the development of their Recorder Magic Tool, so it was only natural that she would bite on the opportunity. If anything, with her like this, it wouldnāt be surprising if their Recorder Magic Tool would be completed as soon as todayās date ends.
[Hmm~~ That was interesting. The images were beautiful and very impressive.]
[You were watching the show quite seriously huh, Kuro.]
[The movie was also interesting, but Iām more with what romance was like in another world, so I learned a lot from the movie. Well, of course, just because itās a different world doesnāt really mean that their romance is different from ours.]
[Well, about thatā¦ā¦ As long as the way of thinking isnāt very different, there are some aspects over there that closely resemble those in here.]
Putting aside the difference brought by science and magic, itās not like thereās a big difference in things related to peopleās emotions just because itās two different worlds. Well, I guess thatās also why there are also some aspects that are difficult for each world to understandā¦ā¦
[Now then, I wonder whatās next? Iām looking forward to it~~]
[I get the feeling that Kuroās having the most fun today.]
[For me, there are a lot of things here that I really donāt know, so everything feels fresh to me. Iāve lived quite a long time too, so Iām happy to have the opportunity to learn new things like this.]
Certainly, thinking about it again, Kuro is easily over 100,000 years old, and when it comes to this world, she probably knows almost everything. However, that wouldnāt be the case with matters related to the other world.
Of course, she had probably heard some stories from Neun-san and the people who played the role of Hero, but even so, there was a big difference between hearing it and actually seeing it.
From our conversation, Neun-san was born more than 100 years before me, and if sheās someone from a century ago, modern Japan would be an unknown world for Neun-san.
[By the way, Kaito-kun. How do you go to the Tsudi realm?]
[2-D? What do you mean go there?]
[Shiro told me about it before. In the other world, you have a separate realm called Tsudi, where there are these Afexion Meters that apparently quantify emotions, right?]
[ā¦ā¦H- Hmmā¦ā¦ What kind of explanation did she give youā¦ā¦]
From Kuroās point of view, it seemed like she thinks that the 2-D world was like how the Demon Realm and the Human Realm are. I did hear her talking about Affection Meters and stuff back then, and knew that her information came from Shiro, but when it comes to the 2-D worldā¦ā¦
[When it comes to 2-D matters, I donāt feel like I can explain it professionally, so Iāll exclude some thingsā¦ā¦ but in short, itās something like the world of stories from books. It isnāt a separate realm that actually exists.]
[Eh? Is that so!? T- Then, what about that Afexion Meter?]
[You know about our games, right? Iām sure Kuro has played some of themā¦ā¦]
[U- Unnn. Itās those games from that box Shiro gave to Kaito-kun, right?]
On my birthday, Shiro-san gave me a gaming device, and I played some games with Kuro. However, the games we played were focused more on party games and the like, and weāve never played a romance game.
Well, those games are basically for a single player, so they really arenāt something that can be played togetherā¦ā¦
[There are various types of games, and thereās this genre of games called romance in which one can enjoy pseudo-love in the story. That Affection Meter isnāt something that people in the game can see, but theyāre like a numerical value that players can refer to as they progress through the game.]
[I- I seeā¦ā¦ Then, what about the fact that you can get presents by accumulating enough of this Afexā¦ā¦ Affection?]
[There are some games with those aspects, but to put it simply, if you accumulate a certain amount of affection, you can get items that will help you advance in the game.]
[Hehh~~ Is that so? Hmmm, it really is different hearing about it from someone who actually knows!]
Arehh? I wonder though, why didnāt I explain things like Affection Meters to Kuro until now? Perhaps there were some restrictions in place, which included this subject, due to Eden-san and Shiro-san.
Now that the restrictions have been relaxed, I can talk about this, but until then, the idea of explaining this to her hasnāt occurred to me at all. Well, itās also possible that I simply didnāt feel like talking about thisā¦ā¦
[By the way, what kind of game were you playing with Aoi-chan, Kaito-kun?]
[The game that Aoi-chan and I were playing was a little bit special, something that is called online gameā¦ā¦ If I explained this, it would be more detailedā¦ā¦]
[Fumu fumu.]
While moving to the next room, I decided to explain the game to Kuro, who seemed to be interested in learning about various things. Iām quite fond of games myself, so once I started talking about it, I got excited and ended up explaining quite a lot, but Kuro happily listened from beginning to end.
Next time we get the opportunity, it might be fun to play some of the games I taught her.
