Chapter 224 Ive Decided to Carry Out "Operation Present" (1/2)

25th day of the Earth month. It’s been three days since Lilia-san achieved her long-cherished dream at Amalie-san’s birthday party.

I’m in a bit of a pickle at the moment…… That is because at the party, Lilia-san kissed me, which was very surprising, and I was able to reaffirm my own feelings at the same time as I knew how she felt. At that point, it was good.

……The problem is that after three days, not only has there been no progress with our relationships, but there has been no progress…… It seems that it has made our relationship quite awkward.

Since that day, I don’t know if I should say that Lilia-san has been avoiding me or not…… When I talk to her, she flusteredly put an end to our conversation and goes away.

If I had to guess why, I’d say it was because of that kiss…… Because for Lilia-san, it’s like she’s already confessed her feelings, and I can understand why the shy Lilia-san is that flustered.

Currently, I’m in a situation where she isn’t responding to me, and I’m sure she’s feeling anxious and doesn’t know how she should treat me.

However, the problem is that when I try to talk to her about it, she runs away immediately, so the conversation never progresses and there’s no chance for me to express my feelings.

Moreover, she isn’t just lightly avoiding me, she straight up dashes away…… Just a slight hint of that topic peeking out, she would disappear from my field of sight with frightening speed…… I’m feeling troubled.

[……So that’s how it is, but what do you think I should do?]

[I see, so that’s why Lili was acting strange at that time…… Hmmm.]

Hearing my story, Sieg-san tilted her head, looking troubled.

I consulted Sieg-san, thinking that she was the best person in this mansion to ask for advice, but it really doesn’t seem to be easy to do.

[With Lili’s personality, she’s probably run away even if you pushed her….. Though I say that, that doesn’t mean you can just let this drag on and on…… She might be troublesome, but there’s a really steady method through this situation.]

[Ohhh, what kind of method is that?]

[Yes, that is——- [ I have heard the situation ! ] ———!?]

[……Eh? Lunamaria-san?]

Hearing a sharp voice interrupting Sieg-san’s words, when I looked back at the source of the voice, there stood Lunamaria-san…… Why is she leaning against the wall with her arms crossed? Also, I don’t know why you have that smug smile on your face, but stop that, it’s kind of irritating me……

Lunamaria-san, who suddenly appeared, spoke with a nasty grin on her face, lightly placing her finger on her forehead.

[……Let this Pilot of Love guide you through this sea of predicament!]

[……Lunamaria-san, aren’t you ashamed, calling yourself that?]

[Why did you calmly tsukkomi!? M- Miyama-sama…… A good man would go with the flow here, you know?]

[I- Is that so……]

To be honest, I don’t think I can rely on this self-proclaimed Pilot of Love at all, and after silently letting out a smile that really seemed to put on airs, she greatly nodded and turned towards us.

[……I have a great idea!]

[Ah, no thanks.]

[Wait right there!? Miyama-sama!?]

[So, Sieg-san. The steady method you’re talking about……]

[You’ll just ignore me!?]

……That’s most probably because what she thinks wouldn’t work. I don’t need to hear about it anymore.

Also, there’s simply a difference in my trust between Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san…… I don’t even have to think about which one to consult between the kind and sincere Sieg-san or the twisted Lunamaria-san, who teases people so much that it feels like it’s her purpose in life.

But well, she seems to have lots of confidence in her idea…… So if it’s just listening, I guess that should be fine? I’m not really expecting anything from her answer though…… I mean, that’s Lunamaria-san we’re talking about here.

[……I- I wonder why? I somehow feel like I’m being spoken ill of within Miyama-sama’s mind……]

[……Huhh… Fine. Then, please let me hear your idea just in case.]

[I’ve brought the keys to My Lady’s room, so you——- [ Rejected. Thank you, next. ] ——– Isn’t that too fast!?]
