Chapter 259 - Snow Days (2/2)

”So, you failed?”

She averts her gaze, ”....Today was the first time I learned about boilers.” Lyn mutters. ”I had Pupillam help me.” She didn't think making chocolate was so difficult. Lyn sighed when she thought about her failure.

Kazuya laughed, ”It's okay my Lyn, it's the thought that counts,” he picked up one of the chocolates and ate it. Lyn observed him and saw that his face broke out into a bitter one. But he quickly smiled, ”This is great; you should make me more.”

Lyn rolled her eyes, ”Liar. I know it tastes bad. You don't have to force yourself to eat it.”

Is she sulking? How cute? Kazuya smiled warmly as he squeezed her hands. He didn't think she would get him a present even if it were uhh questionable looking chocolate. He glanced back at the box; it does seem like she worked hard on it, though. He should get her something in return.

”Marine snow...” Lyn mumbled, and turned to him then as he also stood up, ”It's always made me feel peaceful, don't you think the same?”

She really can be a sly one, huh? Well no matter, he smiles. ”Your right.” Being with her like this, and watching the snow feels like a dream to him.

Their gazes both land on the snow. Ah, it really has been a while since he's seen that expression on her face. He's relieved. Lately, Lyn seemed stressed out.

”It's like were deep in the ocean, slowly being covered by marine snow,” Lyn trails of, ”Marine snow is made up of a variety of mostly organic matter, including dead or dying animals and phytoplankton, protists, fecal matter, sand, and other inorganic dust. Most trapped particles are more vulnerable to grazers than they would be as free-floating individuals.”

This girl, once again she's gone ahead and done it. His sweatdropped as he stared at her in complete disbelief, she really does know how to ruin moments. ”Uhh, Lyn?”

”So this snow may also be remains of something unknown.”

”I don't think it's that complicated.”

Lyn's expression didn't waver, as she continued explaining why. As she said that his expression dropped, when she gets all knowledgeable everything, it becomes difficult to understand her.

Really, do all sixteen-year-old girls act like this these days? Clearly not, her behavior is the most unusual. It's always been that way, even back then.

But he's already used to this behavior of hers. In fact, he found himself being quite attracted to that. Aha, what the heck? That would be seen as a strange fetish if anything. ”Are you still upset with me? I won't sulk about Rhys anymore.”

Lyn reached over and gave his forehead a small flick, as she said with a bright smile, ”I told you I'm not angry; I found it cute that you were jealous.”

Ahhh geez, he feels embarrassed. ”Are you really not mad, it's hard to believe.” Considering how her personality is.

”When I'm like this, I feel like time can stop forever with just us two, don't you think the same Kazuya?”

Here comes her bad habit of changing topics randomly. Time, huh? If somebody were to tell him that he would one day be able to stand by her side like this. He would not believe her.

Kazuya, let's out a soft chuckle, ”That's one comment too many.” He suddenly feels a sudden warmth touch his cheek, as he grabbed hold of that hand, his eyes went wide, but they softened, ”Yeah your right, it's cold.” he said clasping their hands together.

”Just like this, always...” he hears her mutter in a soft voice. Kazuya knew better than to respond, knowing that the moment would be ruined.

Ah this girl, she's always going to be the only one for him. That prediction was right. In the end, his life will revolve around this girl only. Eventually, they'll have to let go and go their separate ways, however for now. For now, just like this, they can remain together for just a few more moments.

His thoughts broke off when Kazuya felt Lyn gradually get closer, and before he knew it, the girl's lips were on his. It was a light and brief kiss, but --- ”Woaaahhhh!” Kazuya exclaimed.

Lyn rolled her eyes and sighed, ”You're so absent-minded. That's your reaction to getting a kiss from your girlfriend? Geez.”

Uhh, how on earth does she want him to react?
