I gave her the main present
“I see… I will have to thank them as well then.”
After hearing about the ribbon, Claire smiled again and touched it preciously.
“Yes. Thanks to them, I was able to make you happy.”
“Oh, Mr. Takumi… You embarrass more than usual today…”
“Is that bad?”
Indeed, I was so forward today that I wondered what had happened to .
I suppose it was everyone’s support, and my own enthusiasm… Normally I wouldn’t be able to say such things.
“Of course, not. I am very happy…”
She nodded quietly behind the vase.
“Also…”
“Huh? There’s more?”
“In fact, this is the main one…”
I reached under the table and grabbed the other thing that was hidden there.
“Here, Claire.”
I unwrapped the cloth to reveal the box inside.
“It’s very pretty… Is this from you as well?”
“Yes. The flowers to show my gratitude. And this is to show my feelings…”
Claire opened the box and sighed with emotion.
It was a necklace decorated with precious stones that looked like flowers.
The general goods store had a corner of luxury items, and so I chose it from there.
“Claire, will you turn around? Ah, you can put the flowers down on the table.”
“Ah, ye-yes…”
I took the necklace out of the box and put it on her from behind.
While I wasn’t used to doing it, it went rather smoothly.
“Claire. Please stay like this and listen to what I have to say.”
“Yes…”
“Since I ca to this world, and t you, a lot has happened… But most of it was fun. Thanks to Sebastian, Ms. Lyra and the others as well. But it was mainly because of you. You were always with , thought with , and talked to .”
After putting on the necklace, I told her to not turn around as I talked.
Perhaps it was cowardly, but I wanted to talk like this.
I was worried that my emotions would overflow, and that words would fail …
“Claire…um…I like you. I hope that we can continue to be close together. I want to see different things with you, laugh with you, and talk with you…”
“Mr. Takumi…”
“Perhaps there is soone else who is more fitting for you, but…”
“No, no… If anything, perhaps there is soone better for you…”
“You’re a very wonderful woman, Claire. Too wonderful that I think you’d be wasted on .”
Claire’s shoulders were shaking. Perhaps she was crying.
If that was the case, then Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian may be furious with later.
But I erased such thoughts from my mind.
“And so…well…”
The rest of the words would not co out.
“Mr. Takumi?”
“I’m sorry, Claire!”
“Kya!”
I could no longer resist the urge, and so I threw my hands around her while apologizing.
“Sorry for startling you. Perhaps you don’t like it. But just give one mont…”
“No, I… I actually…”
Even under the moonlight, I could see that her neck was bright red.
“…Mr. Takumi, I…”
“Sorry. Just a little longer…”
“Yes…”
She wanted to tell sothing, but I delayed it so that I had ti to calm down.
As our shadows were one, ti passed silently and without motion. But the moonlight illuminated us gently…
