Chapter 105 – Is Ais in love?
As soon as Ais slamd the door, she instantly turned to , her eyes gleaming as she stared at the box I held. I couldn't help but find her behavior amusing; it seed so out of character for her.
She really loves my book.
"You're not kidding, are you?" she asked.
I heard her question and used the key to unlock the box. Ais's eyes sparkled even more when the book's cover beca visible. She desperately tried to snatch the box from my hands, but I pulled away.
"First, you have to thank ," I teased. But Ais took it seriously and began thanking . It was funny how she acted like a little puppy.
She kept her hands outstretched and continued to stare fiercely at the box.
I slowly placed the box in her hands, and Ais looked at it more closely. She was so excited she couldn't say a word; she was completely frozen.
"Are you okay? Are you that happy?"
"Of course! I'm the first person to have the second volu, right?"
"Yes."
"Yes! I don't know how to thank you. I'm so happy. It's so beautiful. Who made this art? Don't tell
you drew this."
"No, it wasn't . An artist did the cover."
"I was scared for a second, thinking you had a talent for that too. But it's beautiful, amazing. Seriously, the artist managed to capture the characters so well. That's exactly how I imagined them. They're perfect together; I wonder if everything will work out."
Ais was talking about Emilia and Subaru. It's complicated to talk about that, so it's best not to extend the conversation or give her spoilers.
"I think it's better not to discuss that."
"I don't want spoilers." Ais took the book out of the box and flipped through a few pages. "I want to read it all right now, but I must control myself."
"Do you have anything planned for today?" At my question, Ais pulled her eyes away from the book and looked at . Her cheeks turned red, and she replied.
"I'm going to the dungeon today. And you..."
"Do you want
to go with you?"
"No, I wouldn't ask you that! I just wanted to know if you saw..." Her face grew redder and redder. Her excitent was turning into embarrassnt as she rembered what had happened earlier.
"Are you talking about your breasts?"
"You saw... I'm sure you saw..." she said, turning away. "But I don't care. It's fine."
"You don't need to worry. It is beautiful," I told Ais.
She remained silent. After the awkward silence, Ais turned toward , hugging the book. "Thank you so much for this. I'm glad you chose
to get the first copy."
"You're a big fan, and we're friends. Isn't that reason enough?"
"...Yes, friends."
"Aren't we friends?"
"That's not what I ant." Ais cleared her throat. "Thanks again, Luan. We should go out to eat together soti. I'll repay you for rembering ."
"I'll look forward to that."
Once again, awkward silence filled the room. Ais seed quite nervous, so I decided to say goodbye. I could have pushed things further, but I chose to hold back.
But it worked. Ais seems to be getting closer and closer, and she seems to like
more and more.
Who would have thought Re: Zero would help
with this?
'She hasn't been won over yet. Don't rush it. She's just paying more attention to
now. I've made her notice that I care about her, and that's enough.'
Ais made a point of walking
to the exit of the Loki Familia house.
There, we ran into Bete, who seed imnsely annoyed by how close we were. But we didn't pay him much attention, and we parted ways with smiles on our faces. I couldn't help but notice that Ais was blushing the entire ti.
My [Charming Aura] skill leveled up at just the right mont.

*Ais's POV*
When Luan finally left, I returned to my room and took the book I had stored in the box. I looked at it again, and the art touched my heart. Indeed, this artwork was created with passion and care.
"It's so beautiful."
I slowly opened the first page to start reading, but my mind was overwheld by what had happened earlier. Luan had seen
in an embarrassing situation, making
flustered.
I never thought I would feel like this, but it's incredibly embarrassing.
"And what was that?"
My heart raced when I received his gift. I had never felt anything like that before. Maybe I was too happy, or I was too excited to read the second book.
"But I never imagined he would give
such a precious gift. What Tiona said..."
Tiona told
a long ti ago that Luan said I am beautiful.
"Did he give
this book because he thinks I'm beautiful? I don't know how to feel about that..." But it makes
incredibly happy. It's nice to know that he thinks I'm so beautiful that he gave
one of his most precious things.
Ugh... That's when I realized I couldn't read.
Even though the words entered my mind, they quickly beca scrambled because of my racing heart and the sound of Luan's voice in my head, distracting .
I rolled around in bed, hugging the book and thinking about him.
"What the hell is happening to ?"
