Chapter 150: 150

The feeling of the cold floor in my hands was overridden by the warmth I feel in my body .

I can hear the faint sound of Lilia-san’s breath in my ears, and my nerves are so tense to the point where I can even feel her chest rise and fall with each of her exhales .

The heartbeats I’m feeling are incredibly loud, and thinking about the fact that it’s definitely being transmitted to Lilia-san as well, makes me feel even more embarrassed .

It’s just…… the loud heartbeats I feel aren’t just mine .

I wonder if Lilia-san is as tense as I am, as I can feel her heart beating quite quickly from her chest that is touching mine .

I’m currently draped over Lilia-san’s body while looking to my right, and she’s facing the opposite direction from me, so I can’t see her face, but when she’s this close to me that I can even hear her breathing, I can’t calm down .

It’s not that I’m feeling uncomfortable being in this situation with her, but feeling the vaguely oppressive silence, I was feeling a little ashamed of myself .

Seriously, I’ve always been causing trouble to Lilia-san, and even when I’m thinking of helping her out a little bit, something like this happens…… I’m really sorry about that .

I don’t know if it’s because of the silence that dominates the area, but as I feel like I’m unable to endure being silent anymore, I spoke out the thoughts that are bubbling up from within me .

[……Lilia-san . ]

[Y- Yes!?]

[……I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve always caused you . ]

[……Eh?]

Hearing the words I said, the nervous Lilia-san…… for some reason, have a wondering expression on her face .

[Did Kaito-san ever bother me?]

[……Ehh?]

Her voice doesn’t sound like she’s teasing me, as if she’s really wondering what I’m talking about .

……Why did Lilia-san react like that? Could it be that I’ve knocked her out that bad that she had amnesia!?

[……Kaito-san?]

[Eh!? I- I’m sorry . ]

Calling me out right at that time, as if she could see through what I’m thinking, I reflexively apologized .

Thereupon, as if she somehow found something funny, Lilia-san laughs .

[Fufufu, what’s the matter, Kaito-san? You’ve just been apologizing for a while now, you know?]

[……No, look…… It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose, but I’ve been getting to know a lot of people, getting caught up in all sorts of situations, and I’ve been troubling Lilia-san……]

[That’s right, isn’t it? Geez, Kaito-san, you’ve really been surprising me with things that are way more than I can handle, troubling me with various things, and making me really worry . ]

[Ugghhh, I’m sorry . ]

When I heard the thoughts of the person in question once again, I felt even more apologetic .

After hearing me apologize for the third time, Lilia-san was silent for a few moments…… before she replied to me with a gentle tone .

[……However, I never thought of that as bothering me…… not even once, you know?]

[……Eh?]

[I never felt displeased with Kaito-san . I also never felt disadvantaged by Kaito-san . ]

[……Why?]

I always thought I was always being a nuisance to Lilia-san .

I’ve made her faint many times, made her cry many times…… but Lilia-san told me that I wasn’t a nuisance, that she was never displeased with me .

[Of course, if Kaito-san had been maliciously pestering me or enjoyed bothering me, I might have been displeased…… but that’s not the case, right?]

[Yes . ]

[Then, there’s no reason for me to feel troubled by Kaito-san . ]

[…………………]

This person really is too kind even among the kind people I know .

[… . . All those surprising things, and things that would make me angry…… Please pardon me from that . I’m not a flawless human . I would sometimes get angry, and sometimes, I would even cry . ]

[Yes . ]

[Also, Kaito-san is troubling me all the time . Yes, seriously…… I’d appreciate it if you could have at least given me some time before you make a ruckus again . This way, my stomach could at least hold it…… I even feel like I’ve lost weight . ]

[Ugghhh, I- I’m sorr—– !?]

With a teasing tone, Lilia-san started complaining to me, and just as I was about to apologize again, Lilia-san’s hand went around my back and she gently embraced me .

As I feel Lilia-san’s heartbeat more intensely and closely than before, I heard her calm voice resound in my ear .

[However…… if you ask me if I like or hate Kaito-san…… I’ll say I like you . ]

[……Lilia-san?]

[……You really a troublesome person . You won’t even let me become the calm and composed Duchess I’m trying to be . You are absurd, a menace in various ways…… And yet, you are always kind, warm and caring . There’s no way…… that I would hate you like that……]

[………………]

Those were not lies nor falsehoods, they’re words showing her true feelings .

Lilia-san’s words, which she gently told me, warmly and gently sunk into my heart .

I can sincerely feel that it was really good that the person who summoned me was this person…… As feelings of gratitude that are close to happiness spread through my heart .

[……Well, but can you please take it easy for a bit? I’ve really had enough so……]

[I’ll do my best . ]

[……That kind of makes me feel uneasy . ]

[……Haha . ]

[……Fufu . ]

The both of us chuckled . The feeling that my heart was closer to Lilia-san than it was somehow earlier makes me feel very happy .

Saying words of gratitude rather than words of apology…… Such thoughts began to dwell in my heart .

[Ummm, Lilia-san?]

[Yes? What is it?]

[ [ ! ? ! ? ] ]

Thinking that I wanted to say my thanks to Lilia-san, I turned my face, which had been turned to the right towards Lilia-san, but as if it was arranged beforehand, Lilia-san also turned her face towards me at exactly the same time…… And our eyes met, closer than ever before .

[……Li- Lilia-san……]

[……Kai……to-san……]

We are so close that we can feel each other’s breaths . I should be so embarrassed that I would immediately look away, but I can’t turn my gaze away from those breathtaking blue eyes .

My voice calling out Lilia-san’s name naturally leaks from my mouth, and she calls out my name as well .

Her glossy, soft lips, blushing red cheeks, and her beautiful eyes, shaking from agitation, but not diverting away from mine…… All of them are so sensational .

A second passed in silence that felt like eternity…… Lilia-san gently closed her eyes…… and immediately after that, I heard the sound of footsteps .

[……Ah . ]

[ [ Ehh? ] ]

When I heard a voice, I moved my gaze along with Lilia-san who opened her eyes…… and there was Lunamaria-san standing there with an awkward expression on her face .

It seems that she noticed that Lilia-san hadn’t returned earlier than she expected and came to look for her .

[……It seems that I’m intruding . Please excuse me…… . I’ll come back after “around 2 hours” . ]

[Wait!? W- Wait right there, Luna! It’s a misunderstanding!!!]

[……Spring has finally arrived for My Lady, this Lunamaria can’t help but cry in tears of joy . ]

[Can you listen to me!? It’s a misunderstanding!!! Quickly help us out here!!!]

At Lunamaria-san’s words which she said in a matter-of-fact manner, Lilia-san turned as red as a boiled octopus while shouting towards Lunamaria-san .

However, the other party is that Lunamaria-san . Even if she can clearly see the situation we’re in right now, she remained calm and treated Lilia-san’s angry voice as if it was just a breeze .

[……Miyama-sama, My Lady is the type who is weak at being pressed forward . If you ask her hard enough, she’ll agree to most of the play you can think of, you know?]

[ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? ]

[Oi, stop right there, you useless maid……]

She’s obviously having fun watching our situation…… I don’t know why, of all the people here in this mansion, she’s the one who came to help…… In this case, I have no choice but to use that method .

[……Lunamaria-san, please help me . ]

[Please stop joking…… Interfering with people’s love is something I……]

[If you don’t help me, I’ll tell Kuro that Lunamaria-san is bullying me . ]

[I will rescue you two as soon as possible!!!]

Lunamaria-san, who immediately shifted to zealot mode, rescued us in a matter of seconds .

It doesn’t look like we received any injuries but…… Lilia-san, as soon as she was rescued, held her bright face in her hands and left the warehouse with a terrific speed .

Indeed, even if we were rescued already, being seen in that kind of situation would make me feel heat rise up on my face .

Lunamaria-san said that she would sort out the arrangement of the warehouse later, so I decided to walk off the warehouse too…… Returning to my room, still feeling the heat on my face that had not yet cooled .

Dear Mom, Dad—— The event finally ended, though in an embarrassing way . I felt very tired, but I was still glad to hear Lilia-san’s true feelings . Once again, I realized—– I think Lilia-san is a really kind person .

Lilia was sitting in the corner of her room, with her face blushing red and her head covered with her hands .

[Uuuuuhhhh…… Luna, you idiot……]

[Hmmm . That was quite disappointing, isn’t it? If I had been a few seconds later, I might have been able to see Lili’s memorable first kiss . ]

[Wha!? L- L- Like I said, didn’t I tell you that it’s a misunderstanding!? K- K- Kaito-san and I aren’t in t- t- that kind of relationship!]

Lilia, with her face still bright red, frantically screams at Lunamaria, who was speaking to her with a teasing tone .

While looking at such Lilia with a smile, Lunamaria speaks again .

[But if, for example…… if Miyama-sama had tried to kiss you over there…… You would have accepted it, right?]

[ ! ? ! ? ! ? ]

[Fufufu, Lili, you’re really easy to understand . ]

[L- Luna!!!]

As if Lunamaria’s statement hit right at the bull’s eye, Lilia’s originally red face reddened even more as she felt like smoke was about to come out of her ears .

[Isn’t it alright though? Haven’t I been telling you about it for a long time already? That Miyama-sama, for the unlucky in love Lilia, is someone who rarely appears in Lili’s life…… and he’s “the right one” . ]

[N- No, b- b- but what about K- K- Kaito-san’s feelings and t- t- there are also all sorts of stuff to think about……]

[That means, that the problem isn’t on Lili’s side then?]

[ ~ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? ]

Hearing Lunamaria’s words, Lilia looked like she had reached her limit, as she opened her mouth in response, but no words came out .

Seeing her easy-to-read master like that, Lunamaria chuckled again .

[……Well, at the rate things are going, it seems like it would take some time before some progress can be made…… Well, starting to be aware of it is already a step forward…… I will be rooting for you . ]

Lilia is cute (and I’m sure of it . )

Kaito, go explode! (I wish this happens . )

T/N: 25/104 + 100… well, f*ck . Thank you, but still……
