Chapter 238 Because I Think that This Way, We Can Build Up Memories (2/2)
[……Kaito…… -san?]
When it comes to love, Lilia-san isn’t that knowledgeable, and even I can see that…… Normally, we have to take it more slowly, step by step, removing the walls within our hearts one by one…… However, she rushed it out of impatience and fear, and she made a slight mistake.
That’s why, what Lilia-san needs now is certainty and security…… And this is the best I can do for her right now.
[……I’m not going to go anywhere…… I’m also not rushing you. I’ll wait as long as I can…… So it’s fine, let’s take it one step at a time.]
[……………….]
[I don’t really know what this world’s lovers are like either…… However, I think we got our own pace.]
[……Yes.]
As I continued to speak as gently and calmly as I could, Lilia-san’s body gradually eased up.

[Lilia-san doesn’t have to carry everything and force yourself to overdo things…… We’re lovers, so let’s think about things together, discuss it with each other, and move forward side by side.]
[……Kaito-san.]
[It’s fine if we move in our own pace…… One by one, let’s build up memories…… One step at a time, bringing us closer to each other. Okay?]
[……Yes.]
With those words, Lilia-san let go of the hands that were holding her face…… and gently lays it on my hands, which are reaching out from behind her.
[……Kaito-san, is this really alright? I’m a coward, so it’s going to take me lots of time, you know? You’ll probably have to wait a lot, you know?]
[Of course, it’s alright…… That’s what makes Lilia-san Lilia-san. That’s why I fell in love with you…… Waiting isn’t bothering me one bit.]
When Lilia-san confirmingly asks me, I gently….. and yet, forcefully and clearly answered.
Thereupon, Lilia-san’s hands that were gripping mine became a little stronger, and after a bit of silence, she mumbles a few words to herself.
[……I’m a really lucky person, aren’t I?]

[You think so?]
[Yes…… That’s because I had a wonderful man telling this me who doesn’t have any confidence, that I didn’t need to rush and that he would wait as long as I wanted to…… I’m really lucky to have such a man as my lover……]
[……Lilia-san.]
She sounded really happy, that even I, who was listening to her, felt warm and happy.
Then, Lilia-san intertwined her fingers in my hand and held it…… just like how lovers hold hands, and continued speaking with straightforward affection held in her voice.
[……I’m sure it will take me some time. However, I will also do my best…… to be able to say with pride that I’m Kaito-san’s lover……]
[Yes. I feel the same way.]
[Thank you…… One day, when I finally have confidence in myself…… When I get brave enough to stand by Kaito-san’s side…… At that time…… will you please receive…… my everything?]
[Yes. Gladly.]
Dear Mom, Dad——— The adversity passed, and our foundations began strengthening…… It may be a little different from the first time, but thanks to the happening, I think I was able to get to know Lilia-san one more time. There’s a lot of things that both of us need to learn, and I feel like it’s hard to keep pace with each other, but I’m sure we’ll be fine…… We’re going to continue to do this in our own way, at our own pace——– because I think that this way, we can build up memories.
