4-42: Blue and Red’s Declaration of War I (5/6)

Shinichi found the natural expression she wore to be even more shocking than her confession itself.

But after a little self-reflection, he quickly realized that that was just him running away from reality.

In fact, the self-reflection was too.

You dont need to give me an answer here. I know Im not qualified to demand such a thing just yet.

But then the girl feebly shook her head and made a dispirited face.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

As youre well aware, Im nothing more than an inexperienced girl who cant even manage her subordinates. In fact, not only am I unqualified to get a response from you, Im not even qualified to tell you how I feel. Its really unfortunate, she said with a face full of frustration.

Shinichi didnt know why she thought so highly of him, but the tone of her voice and the look on her face was more than enough to make it clear how serious she was.

Despite that I still wanted to tell you how I feel. A little selfishness on my part, Im sorry.

A mischievous smile appeared on her as she apologized while flustered.

To her, that was probably more embarrassing than confessing her feelings.

But for reasons unrelated to that, the boy found her so adorable in that moment.

The smile of a woman in love was truly a beautiful thing, though it didnt really make sense for such a smile to be directed at him.

I should go. Otherwise, Ortho and Rizet will come again.

With a face blooming in love, the girl stood up and smiled at the boy, then she took a graceful bow, while the boy hastily found something to block his mouth with.

Thank you for treating me to such delicious crepes today Umm

But then the girls eyes suddenly started swimming and she struggled to say something.

That reminded the boy when they met behind the hospital and she struggled to speak.

Even back then the boy actually already knew what she wanted to say.

Knowing they were away from prying eyes, or then again, perhaps she didnt even know that, but regardless, she declared those words to him as though swearing an oath.

Without a hint of timidity or any false display of strength, she said those words as though she knew they would come to pass.

And she said them while looking straight into his eyes from almost the same height.

The boy stood unmoving.

Averting his eyes here would be an insult to her, but above all, the girl vowing a pledge before him was just too beautiful.

She was shining now, but the way she kept trying to walk forward despite that made her shine even brighter.

That was the light of humanity that he yearned for and respected so much. Thats why he couldnt peel his eyes away from her.

And thats why, he couldnt react at all.

Excuse meChu.

Abruptly, the girl asked for his pardon, and just as abruptly, she dove into him, then as though to taste the cream left on his lips, she kissed him on that dangerous border, landing a peck right at the cream shed left when she shoved her crepe into him.

It was partly to engrave her oath, but beyond that, it was because she wanted to.

A momentary contact as fleeting as it was quick.

Yet the tenderness and flame behind it was more than enough to nail the boy where he stood.

Shinichi-san, prepare yourself. No man has ever escaped from a woman of Padyuel.

The girl said with a wink, but a closer look would show that she was red up to her ears.

Shed kissed him at the border of his lips, but even that was already too much for her, and though her movements were graceful, this time the girl truly ran away.

With her rank in Agility, the speed with which she ran was nothing to scoff at.

The boy watched on with a dumbfounded look, but though the girls back remained turned to him, there was no hiding the joy she radiated.
