-Hey kids! It's Goddess Shinki! And she's enjoying the company of tiny robots serving her some delicious and colorful looking sponge cake.-

Hmm... These little golems are quite talented pastry chefs. It's so tastey! I just couldn't help myself~

Oh, Yumeko, dear, I believe we are due for a trip to this library Alice told me about. I've been wanting to gather some new reading material, after all. Bring a satchel.

Also, a query... What IS this Christmas thing I heard whispers of?

-She takes another bite of her cake, giggling.-

[[ Chronologically speaking, the first person she's going to see for the effects of the cake is Yuuka ]]

I'm sorry, but that's not how things worked out. [Soothing tone to go with the soothing backpats.] We'll just have to make do with the situation as it is, Shinki-sama...

[She only didn't ask about that "evening with someone else," because Shinki seems so upset about the situation.]

[majin_fukushou]

And now it seems we can't even leave. A barrier keeps us from the exit.

I'm just going to assume her thread with Raven happened before this.

[swordthrowing]

...Ah. I believe I...may know the reason for it.

[And whatever the reason is, it's making Yumeko seem unusually embarrassed.]

[majin_fukushou]

You... knew off this? And didn't tell me?

[swordthrowing]

I didn't know that it would happen here, or that it would happen to us. But it seems there's a tradition re... Related to kissing.

[majin_fukushou]

-... Pardon the blank, flushed look.-

I beg your pardon?

[swordthrowing]

[That really isn't helping Yumeko's composure.]

K... Kissing! There's a plant, and we have to kiss if we're underneath it!

[majin_fukushou]

Well that's just stupid. We shouldn't need a plant to kiss.

[swordthrowing]

[...!]

We shouldn't?

[majin_fukushou]

Of course not. If I wanted to kiss you, I just would. It's as simple as that.

[swordthrowing]

[Oh. Nope, definitely not disappointed by that answer, don't be silly.]

Even so, we don't have much of a choice now, unless you'd like to be stuck here indefinitely.

For someone obsessed with love, the Queen certainly has no sense of romance.
