Chapter 150 I Think Shes a Really Kind Person (1/2)
The feeling of the cold floor in my hands was overridden by the warmth I feel in my body.
I can hear the faint sound of Lilia-san’s breath in my ears, and my nerves are so tense to the point where I can even feel her chest rise and fall with each of her exhales.
The heartbeats I’m feeling are incredibly loud, and thinking about the fact that it’s definitely being transmitted to Lilia-san as well, makes me feel even more embarrassed.
It’s just…… the loud heartbeats I feel aren’t just mine.
I wonder if Lilia-san is as tense as I am, as I can feel her heart beating quite quickly from her chest that is touching mine.
I’m currently draped over Lilia-san’s body while looking to my right, and she’s facing the opposite direction from me, so I can’t see her face, but when she’s this close to me that I can even hear her breathing, I can’t calm down.
It’s not that I’m feeling uncomfortable being in this situation with her, but feeling the vaguely oppressive silence, I was feeling a little ashamed of myself.
Seriously, I’ve always been causing trouble to Lilia-san, and even when I’m thinking of helping her out a little bit, something like this happens…… I’m really sorry about that.
I don’t know if it’s because of the silence that dominates the area, but as I feel like I’m unable to endure being silent anymore, I spoke out the thoughts that are bubbling up from within me.
[……Lilia-san.]

[Y- Yes!?]
[……I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve always caused you.]
[……Eh?]
Hearing the words I said, the nervous Lilia-san…… for some reason, have a wondering expression on her face.
[Did Kaito-san ever bother me?]
[……Ehh?]
Her voice doesn’t sound like she’s teasing me, as if she’s really wondering what I’m talking about.
……Why did Lilia-san react like that? Could it be that I’ve knocked her out that bad that she had amnesia!?
[……Kaito-san?]
[Eh!? I- I’m sorry.]

Calling me out right at that time, as if she could see through what I’m thinking, I reflexively apologized.
Thereupon, as if she somehow found something funny, Lilia-san laughs.
[Fufufu, what’s the matter, Kaito-san? You’ve just been apologizing for a while now, you know?]
[……No, look…… It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose, but I’ve been getting to know a lot of people, getting caught up in all sorts of situations, and I’ve been troubling Lilia-san……]
[That’s right, isn’t it? Geez, Kaito-san, you’ve really been surprising me with things that are way more than I can handle, troubling me with various things, and making me really worry.]
[Ugghhh, I’m sorry.]
When I heard the thoughts of the person in question once again, I felt even more apologetic.
After hearing me apologize for the third time, Lilia-san was silent for a few moments…… before she replied to me with a gentle tone.
[……However, I never thought of that as bothering me…… not even once, you know?]
[……Eh?]

[I never felt displeased with Kaito-san. I also never felt disadvantaged by Kaito-san.]
[……Why?]
I always thought I was always being a nuisance to Lilia-san.
I’ve made her faint many times, made her cry many times…… but Lilia-san told me that I wasn’t a nuisance, that she was never displeased with me.
[Of course, if Kaito-san had been maliciously pestering me or enjoyed bothering me, I might have been displeased…… but that’s not the case, right?]
[Yes.]
[Then, there’s no reason for me to feel troubled by Kaito-san.]
[…………………]
This person really is too kind even among the kind people I know.
[…..All those surprising things, and things that would make me angry…… Please pardon me from that. I’m not a flawless human. I would sometimes get angry, and sometimes, I would even cry.]

[Yes.]
[Also, Kaito-san is troubling me all the time. Yes, seriously…… I’d appreciate it if you could have at least given me some time before you make a ruckus again. This way, my stomach could at least hold it…… I even feel like I’ve lost weight.]
[Ugghhh, I- I’m sorr—– !?]
With a teasing tone, Lilia-san started complaining to me, and just as I was about to apologize again, Lilia-san’s hand went around my back and she gently embraced me.
As I feel Lilia-san’s heartbeat more intensely and closely than before, I heard her calm voice resound in my ear.
[However…… if you ask me if I like or hate Kaito-san…… I’ll say I like you.]
[……Lilia-san?]
[……You really a troublesome person. You won’t even let me become the calm and composed Duchess I’m trying to be. You are absurd, a menace in various ways…… And yet, you are always kind, warm and caring. There’s no way…… that I would hate you like that……]
[………………]
Those were not lies nor falsehoods, they’re words showing her true feelings.

Lilia-san’s words, which she gently told me, warmly and gently sunk into my heart.
I can sincerely feel that it was really good that the person who summoned me was this person…… As feelings of gratitude that are close to happiness spread through my heart.
[……Well, but can you please take it easy for a bit? I’ve really had enough so……]
[I’ll do my best.]
[……That kind of makes me feel uneasy.]
[……Haha.]
[……Fufu.]
