Although there’s a large gap in appearance and na between high-class Chinese cuisine and French cuisine, it tasted great, just as one would expect from a popular restaurant.
The main course, a Peking duck-style at dish, as if umami of the poultry had extrely converged within it, giving such satisfaction that made feel as if I had eaten a whole chicken.
Unnn, that was…… chicken at, right? It’s not the at of a big worm of so frog sowhere, right? ……Unnn, let’s just stop thinking about it.
I was enjoying my al like that…… but while I was partaking on my al, I suddenly noticed sothing.
[…………………….]
I could feel occasional glances from Lilia-san, who is eating at the table next to ours. However, she doesn’t call out to .
And the emotion I’m feeling with my Sympathy Magic…… was worry? What does this an?
[……Ummm, Lilia-san?]
[……Kaito-san, can I have a mont of your ti?]
When I called out to Lilia-san, she seed to be hesitating for a mont before she replied.
[Eh? Yes……]
[Well then, please follow for the mont. Luna, please tell them to delay the ti that our als are served.]
[Understood.]
Lilia-san apparently wanted to talk to , so she told Lunamaria-san that we would be leaving our seats for a while. Then, she started to walk towards the balcony, which seed to be just one door away from where we were eating.
Not knowing what Lilia-san’s intentions were, I followed her to the balcony.
I guess it’s to be expected of a high-class restaurant like this, as their balcony was also quite large.
Lilia-san and I walked in silence along the balcony, which was surprisingly quiet for a store located at the venue of the Six Kings Festival.
Then, when we were so distance away from the dinner table, Lilia-san stopped and looked back at .
With the cool night breeze drifting, Lilia-san held her swaying hair with one hand and spoke.
[……Kaito-san.]
[Yes?]
[……It would be great if this was just my misunderstanding, but perhaps…… Is there sothing “troubling” you?]
[……Eh?]
I was frankly…… surprised by what Lilia-san told .
The encounter I had during the day with the woman who looked just like my mother. I was able to take my mind off it to so extent thanks to Isis-san’s presence, and I was able to put a smile on my face.
However, I still couldn’t completely forget about it, and rembered about that incident from ti to ti. I think that’s what Lilia-san was talking about.
However, I didn’t think she would notice it…… because I hadn’t seriously thought about that matter myself.
[I don’t have any clear evidence either…… but I felt like there were so shadows in Kaito-san’s smile.]
[………………..]
[It’s not that you were forcing a smile. I think that your smiles were sincere. However, errr, it feels like there’s sothing a little different about it……]
I was surprised…… and most of all, I felt glad.
Because Lilia-san really watches closely, she noticed the slightest changes within . And the feeling of worry I had been feeling all along just now…… makes feel really grateful.
[……It’s not really that big of a deal…… It won’t take long, so would you listen for a mont?]
[Yes, if you’re fine with .]
So, I decided to be honest with Lilia-san.
I told her that I had t a woman who looked exactly like my deceased mother earlier in the day, and even though I wasn’t seriously thinking about it, it was still bothering ……
When I finished telling her all these things, Lilia-san nodded her head once in understanding.
[……I see, I suppose what you’re feeling is understandable. Even though I am still young, it’s not as if I have never experienced having to part with soone because of death. My mother is still alive and well, but my stepmother…… and several of my father’s concubines died.]
[…………………]
[It’s natural to feel shaken when you et soone who looks exactly like the person you were close to before they died.]
As she said this, Lilia-san ca closer and gently leaned on my chest.
[……But I’m glad. I’m relieved that…… Kaito-san isn’t too deeply troubled about it.]
[Lilia-san……]
[I’m sorry. You are a very strong person…… I know that you will be fine. However, please at least let worry about you. I’m your lover after all……]
[Yes, no, I an…… I’m so glad you’re worried about .]
I gently hugged Lilia-san as she leaned in close to , feeling her warmth as I expressed my gratitude.
Thereupon, Lilia-san put her hands on my back too. We continued to hug each other in silence for a little while, before Lilia-san suddenly looked up at and gave a shy smile.
[……Kaito-san.]
[Yes?]
[……Can we…… kiss?]
[……Eh?]
I never expected to hear such a thing from the shy Lilia-san, so I unintentionally let out a duncy voice.
[I just thought that we hadn’t done that yet…… Does Kaito-san not want to?]
[N- No, that’s not it…… H- However, is Lilia-san fi——–!?]
I was going to ask if Lilia-san is fine with that but…… I stopped from speaking those words when I saw Lilia-san, with her eyes closed and her face slightly raised.
It would be rude to Lilia-san if I say unnecessary things or pull away here.
Holding Lilia-san closer, I slowly brought her face closer to mine. Then……
[Hnnn……]
My lips overlapped with Lilia-san’s surprisingly soft lips, and a soft moan escaped from her mouth.
Feeling the deep affection Lilia-san had for , I savored the warmth of her presence before we parted our lips.
[……E- Errr, Lilia-san. Thank you.]
[………………..]
In a different way than Isis-san, the shy Lilia-san acted with all the courage she could muster. I was so happy about it that I unintentionally said a few words of thanks.
However, I received no response from Lilia-san.
[……Arehh?]
[…………….]
[L- Lilia-san?]
[…………………………Kyuuu~~]
[Lilia-san!? W- Wait, please pull yourself together!]
I hurriedly held Lilia-san’s body as it seed like she was about to collapse…… but Lilia-san’s blank eyes upturned, and she fainted.
Dear Mom, Dad————— I had my first kiss with Lilia-san. It was the result of all the courage she had summoned up for . I was really happy and feel blessed for receiving her affection but…… I don’t know if I should say that I knew this would happen or not, but I guess she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t endure it anymore—————- It seems that Lilia-san pushed herself too much.
