79 – Confession (3)

“… … .”

“… … .”

A suffocating silence hung over the store.

late evening.

In a shop where customers have been cut off.

With Luen, who came back after a month.

I welcomed him

and…

confession.

Yes…

We checked each other’s hearts and confessed.

But after that dream-like time passed.

All that was left was awkwardness and embarrassment.

Ruen and I hugged each other for a while.

After we fell for a while

We couldn’t make eye contact with each other.

no…

Clearly, the eyes that matched well even when I confessed.

Why is it so difficult now after confessing?

‘I’ll get some advice from morphine…’ .’

She desperately needed help from morphine, a real man she confessed to and dated within a day of meeting.

First love in my life.

And because of Ruen’s personality…

She is also probably her first love.

Since we were new to each other, even after confirming our feelings, it was not easy to continue the next one.

There was silence for about 10 minutes.

In the end, I couldn’t stand the heavy air.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“excuse me… ”

“that… ”

But it was the same with Luen who ate a big heart.

Our voices overlapped as we spoke together.

I hurriedly held out my hand.

“ah! Luen speaks first.”

“… Sacher first.”

Even the way we make concessions is the same for us.

… Is this how you met each other?

“Pooh-”

In the silence that flowed again.

I finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Luen looked at me with strange eyes.

“… Why are you laughing.”

“No, just. I think we have a lot in common.”

“… … .”

Come to think of it, there were many similarities with Luen.

Rather than being active

It’s nice to be stuck at home.

Rather than hanging out with people,

It is good to study technology in workshops.

I’m not as shy as Ruen, but I also tend not to talk a lot with people I’m seeing for the first time.

and.

The fountain where I first met her.

My first impression was the worst…

We ended up there because the fountain was nice.

The tiredness of a day soaked by the fountain.

Cool and refreshing atmosphere inside.

because i liked him

in the same place,

We were able to meet each other like fate.

After I laughed a little

He slowly approached Luen.

Ruen is avoiding my eyes in embarrassment.

Go one step closer to her.

He carefully kissed his lips.

“… … !!”

In an instant, I felt Luen’s face turn red.

Even the body hardened.

As far as I can tell, it’s firmer than when I hugged you earlier.

When I show such a violent reaction, I feel even more ashamed… .

I’m at a close distance.

I brushed Luen’s hair little by little.

“Confession was because Ruen had the courage. I’ll give you the courage to do anything else.”

nodding-

Louen nodded without speaking.

Up until now, I’ve definitely said something small.

It seems very embarrassing this time.

… cute.

I felt like teasing him for no reason, so I asked mischievously.

“Louen. Can I ask you something?”

nodding-

“Am I your first boyfriend?”

boy friend.

one word at a time.

Ruen’s face lit up like a flame once again.

It’s a more intense reaction than before.

no.

You say this is more embarrassing than a kiss?

It seemed that we didn’t realize that we were dating.

Actually, that’s me too.

My girlfriend is Luen.

It was a sentence I still can’t believe.

Ruen stands still as if it’s broken for a while…

I barely nodded.

“Hee- Then how was your first kiss? nice… ?”

“… … .”

Ruen lowered his head this time.

It’s a question I asked in a playful way to tease her, but…

It’s a hotter response than expected.

nodding-

And slowly nodded.

… cute.

I stopped my plans to tease her further, and hugged her tightly as my heart felt.

How can you make fun of this kid… .

“I like you, Luen.”

And a confession handed over again.

say you like it

It’s the first time I’ve said it in my life.

It has never been so sweet and pleasant.

Ruen, who was hugged by me and unable to use his head.

This time he answered in a low voice.

“… me too.”

“lol. Luen. Did you eat?”

Dori Dori-

In my arms, Ruen shook his head.

It’s late in the evening, well past the time to eat.

You haven’t eaten all this time.

How far did you jump… .

Fortunately, I had skipped meals because of the alchemy shop settlement.

It’s late, but many restaurants are still open.

“Then let’s go eat. I’ll buy you something delicious.”

“… The two of us, something delicious.”

“uh?”

I asked back like an idiot at Ruen’s sudden words.

The two of us, something delicious?

what is that… ?

However, Luen soon shook his head as if it was nothing.

I smiled and stroked her hair.

He even prepared to close the store.

I want to go out right now, but…

Since Ruen came in quite a hurry, there were still things to be sorted out.

Sales reports spread out on the table and various magic tools that will be displayed for sale tomorrow.

The reason <The Moonlight Night> has no choice but to succeed.

It was thorough analysis and tight preparation.

All Morphine will check it again tomorrow morning, but as the shop owner and the largest resident alchemist, it was necessary to prepare for business in advance.

“Sacher… .”

While I was cleaning out the store so briefly.

Ruen called me in a small voice.

“huh? why?”

“that… .”

She mumbled, unable to speak.

ah.

Come to think of it, before.

It seems that we stopped talking to each other.

I broke the awkwardness and brought up the words, but Ruen really seemed to have something to say to me.

“What? You can speak comfortably.”

“… Schnika.”

“Shunika?”

“… huh.”

Why did Schnika’s name appear all of a sudden?

How am I supposed to tell Schnika that we’re dating?

Or are you talking about going to Schnika’s house together?

Although Ruen went straight ahead without hesitation when confessing.

There were still many immature points in the conversation.

It was still difficult to clearly express what I wanted to express.

Because the conversation partner is me…

At least it was a lot of talk.

I wasn’t impatient, and waited for her words in silence.

And from Luen’s mouth.

A completely unexpected and embarrassing subject arose.

“Shunika too… I like Sacher.”

“uh?”

Ruen looked at me with red eyes shining like jewels.

There was a conspicuous expression of long-suffering contemplation in it.

“I didn’t know… now i know Shunika too… I like Sacher.”

I don’t know what triggered it, though.

Ruen has liked me for a long time, and now I know that feeling.

Today’s confession was a precious sincerity conveyed by belated realization.

And except for me.

Ruen’s only remaining friend, Schunika.

Ruen is always silent, but she is also a friend who understands and cherishes Schnika better than anyone else.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Ruen, who had been with Shunika for over a year, was the first to notice Shunika’s feelings.

shunika likes me

That was a fact I was vaguely aware of.

But until Luen confesses,

Even I couldn’t be sure of my feelings.

Shunika, too, if not verbally,

The truth is, no one knows.

So on this happy day I decided to meet Luen.

I didn’t want to worry about the complexities of relationships with other women.

“well. If you don’t tell me, you don’t know.”

“… no. i like you.”

“… well, anyway Why?”

“I am… are you okay.”

“uh?”

Unknowingly, I questioned myself.

I never thought that these words would come out of Luen’s mouth.

“Sacherman… As long as Sacher likes me. doesn’t care… .”

Ruen shyly lowered his head and said quietly.

I just need to like Luen.

therefore…

As long as my heart toward Ruen doesn’t change.

Relationships with other women don’t matter.

Luen was saying that.

But I was rather worried.

“Are you really okay? Luen is… ”

It’s quite common in the Empire for a noble to have affairs with multiple women, but…

Ruen is a citizen of the kingdom of Denver, and even a commoner.

Having lived as a commoner for a long time, Ruen must have lived with the mindset that it was only natural to have a relationship with one person.

Besides, Ruen’s house is a divorced family.

The couple broke up due to their mother’s frequent affair.

That incident became a big scar in his life, and because of that, he came to the Empire to find his father.

I know all the circumstances.

Of course, I had to be careful when dealing with this issue.

But as if Ruen was really okay, he slowly nodded.

“Dad… I’m not loved. so you left therefore… ”

With a resolute expression on her face, Ruen faced me directly.

“If Sacher only looks at me… Anything else is fine.”

I looked at her as well.

Has Ruen ever talked this much?

Even those many words, all of which had a deep meaning.

Following the straight confession, allowing multiple marriages… .

I think I see a lot of new things from Ruen today.

Looking at her determined expression and firm posture…

I laughed right away.

“… Why are you laughing?”

“Because it’s cute.”

“Yes-”

Following the word boyfriend.

The word cute pulled the switch on Ruen once again.

Ruen lowered his head again to cover his reddened face.

… cute.

It’s hard to be patient when you see things like this.

Like an automatic response, I approached her and hugged her tiny body.

and even whispered

“thank you for saying it like that. I’ll think about it.”

“… huh.”

If Schnika really expresses her feelings, I don’t know how to react either.

Just like when Luen confessed for the first time.

Like I was confused, not knowing what to do.

But that was then, and it hasn’t happened yet.

what i have to do now

Already worried about the future of the relationship.

All I could do was give this cute girlfriend a tight hug.

“Have you thought about what to eat?”

“… steak.”

“The house was delicious back then.”

“… huh.”
