Chapter 1825: Memories on a Luxury Cruise Ship
After eating koppepan with Makina-san in my dream, we had our usual chat, and the topic of conversation went to the ship party I was planning.
There was no problem for Makina-san to know about the ship party. I mean, it was natural for her to know about it with her omniscience.
[A ship party huh~~ How nostalgic.]
[Have you been to a ship party before, Makina-san?]
[Unnn. I attended one that's being held on a luxury cruise ship. Well~~ It was really great and left a deep impression on me]
[Makina-san?]
I think this would probably be a story from before she became a God, but Makina-san seemed to have memories related to a ship party, as she had a nostalgic expression on her face. However, just as she was talking about it, halfway through, her expression turned into anger.
It's not as if she was angry with me, instead seemingly angry because she remembered something that happened at the ship party she attended.
[My beloved child, listen closely, okay? As your mother, I advise you, even with close friends, it's not good to trust them too much! There are bad people out there who lie without hesitation!!!]
[H- Huhh Is that so?]
[That's right!!! She took advantage of the fact that it was my first time at a casino, telling me lies like "It's bad manners to bet more than one chip at a time in roulette" and "In poker, it's an unspoken agreement to bet the lowest chip first, and those who don't do it should be ashamed", all with a face that seemed to say she's doing it out of kindness!!!]
[I- I see?]
[I did think it was strange, you know? I should have had a complete victory with my omniscience, yet why was I losing by such a large margin Just when I was wondering if I was just that much of an amateur and had been gambling unskillfully Gununu.]
Yeah~~ That's definitely Alice. I've heard that Makina-san and Alice are best friends, and they probably rode on a luxury cruise ship together before Makina-san became a God.
So, did they have a match of some sort at that time? And Alice, who thought she would be at a disadvantage in an upfront contest against omniscient Makina-san, told lies to Makina-san, and as the novice Makina-san trusted her best friend, Alice won
[T- That's how should I say this unfair, isn't it?]
[That's right! That was just mean!!! After she did all that, she came and talked about a punishment game as if it's her natural right!? At that time, I thought I had just normally lost, but then, after I realized later that I had been deceived]
[That's probably.. No, that's definitely Alice, isn't it? Well, it does seem like something Alice would do, but did you complain later when you realized it?]
[Yeah I did tell her. I angrily said "How dare you deceive me like that" but I was told "I just said that because I wanted to have an even match with my beloved best friend Makina, seeking for a handicap against your omniscience, but it seems I went a little overboard with the handicap, I'm sorry" Well, my omniscience is also unfair, and it's my fault for not suggesting for me to not use my omniscience right from the start We're best friends after all, I understand why she'd want us to be even Ehehe.]
[.]
No, aren't you being too easy!? It seems like she was completely cajoled, being all happy from being called "beloved best friend".
This is probably not the only time this happened Makina-san seems quite soft on Alice, and I have a feeling that she was deceptively coaxed into various other things as well.
Seeing Makina-san, who just a moment ago was angry, now happily talking about Alice and their journey, I couldn't help feeling a sense of warmth. Even though I usually recognize her as being the most dangerous among my acquaintances, how should I say this Being like this makes her look charming, considerably changing my impression of her.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [I see, because she doesn't use her omniscience when it comes to Alice and trusts her as her best friend, she usually believes what she says, and even if she finds out what Alice does later, she's so lenient with Alice that she ends up getting deceived]
