With Kaito's few words, Olivia's heart was in turmoil, so much so that the calm state of mind she had maintained until just monts ago seed like a distant mory. Her thoughts spiraled endlessly, unable to settle, leaving her unsure whether she was overjoyed or simply bewildered.
(W- Why am I this shaken…… That remark just now was, if anything, a re pleasantry. The references I studied even ntioned such exchanges…… Surely, the correct response here is to smile and offer a word of thanks.)
Yes, her mind understood that much. She had even studied how to handle such situations beforehand. However, as is often the case, theory and practice are not the sa. Though she had prepared for the possibility of Kaito comnting on or complinting her attire, the mont he actually said it, her mind went blank, and everything fell apart.
[……Olivia-san?]
[Ah, m- my apologies! T- T- T- Thank, thank you so much! I’m deeply honored that Miyama Kaito-sama would say such a thing…… M-Miyama Kaito-sama, you too…… yo
Though the shock was considerable, she managed to utter so form of gratitude in response to the complint. It was far from the poised image she had envisioned in her mind, but she had at least managed to respond.
With that in mind, Olivia attempted to continue by complinting Kaito in return. Since he had praised her attire, it seed fitting to comnt on his. However, this too veered far from her expectations, as she struggled to find the words.
(……I- Isn't he just too dazzling? He’s practically divine. From the start, Miyama Kaito-sama’s appearance has been so magnificent that he could be considered one of the world’s greatest treasures———— a radiant embodint of the sun itself. Yet today, with a different outfit, his entire presence feels transford…… Can simply changing one’s clothes alter the atmosphere this drastically?! Everything about him is so refined and polished, it’s almost overwhelming. P- Perhaps, isn’t this sothing that should be admired casually but rather immortalized with the latest recording magic tool, frad in the finest quality, and displayed in a prayer chamber?)
Today, Kaito was wearing an outfit he had purchased earlier in the Hydra Kingdom, giving him a slightly more mature appearance compared to his usual attire.
Olivia, utterly captivated by his look, could only stare at him with a flushed expression, her lips moving soundlessly as no words ca forth.
Indeed, Olivia had refined her spirit leading up to this day. She had resolved to channel all her nervousness and distractions into pure gratitude toward Kaito, elevating her feelings to a higher plane.
However, in truth, this ant she had spent nearly all her ti leading up to this mont thinking solely about Kaito, effectively amplifying her feelings for him to the extre…… Far from achieving a calm state of mind, she had instead reached a point where even a small complint from Kaito left her completely overwheld.
As a result, she overreacted to even minor complints from Kaito. Despite already holding Kaito in such high regard that she constantly praised him in her heart, today he appeared twice as dazzling as usual, leaving Olivia feeling utterly defenseless before him.
In short, rather than attaining a composed heart, Olivia had beco far more susceptible to Kaito than ever before.
[……I deeply apologize once again. Miyama Kaito-sama’s attire is also truly splendid. I am profoundly grateful to have the honor of beholding your divine figure.]
[Thank you. Once again, I look forward to spending the day with you.]
[Y- Yes! Please leave everything to !]
Borrowing Alice's words, Olivia had fully entered what could be called her "Sh*tty Noob Mode", but even so, she sohow managed to regain a semblance of composure…… or at least maintain an outward facade of it———– to keep the conversation moving.
The fact that today’s schedule had already been decided worked in her favor. While she was still flustered, the predetermined plans ant she simply needed to follow the itinerary without issue.
[Well then, let’s head to the location right away. Miyama Kaito-sama, Mizuhara Kaori, I’ll be teleporting us…… Please hold my…… ah…… um…… h- h- hand…… No, touch sowhere…… Ah, no, it should be the hand after all……]
[Ahh, you need to make physical contact for the teleportation, right? Then, if you’ll excuse , I’ll hold your hand.]
[Fueehhh!?]
[Eh? Ah, sorry.]
[N- N- N- No, i- i- it’s fine! There’s absolutely no problem at all. Please, allow to take your hand.]
[……I’ve never seen Olivia-sama this flustered before. As expected of Kaito-kun……]
Overreacting to even the smallest things, Olivia was filled with unease about how the day would proceed. Yet, while doing her best to maintain her composure, she activated the Teleportation Magic. R
Serious-senpai : [T- The Sh*tty Noob Mode…… No, but unlike Alice's Sh*tty Noob Mode, she still tries to take action, which I feel like would often lead to her setting herself up for self-destruction.]
