Chapter 413: I Belong To Taiyou-chan (1/2)
Taiyou-chan Taiyou-chan.”
Hera went up to his ears as he was slowly grabbing the fry.
Same energy as always, but she was speaking in a more subtle voice.
In order to match that, Taiyou lowered his voice to inquire.
“What is it?”
“Tada!”
She said as she spun around in the air.
Every turn she made had a graceful, model-like air to it, very different from the usual level up animation.
“What do you think?”
“About what?”
“Oh, you are so daft, Taiyou-chan. A girl wears cute clothing and asks you how it looks, what do you think the answer is?”
“…Yeah.”
Taiyou recognized that she wanted him to compliment her.
Very true. When a girl wears pretty clothing, you should compliment them, thought Taiyou.
He had realized that lately, and had of course proceeded to answer that way.
Seeing them get happy or embarrassed was always something he quite enjoyed.
He often forgot when it came to Hera, but if that’s what she wanted he would oblige.
“…”
The words would not come out.
He knew what he must say.
She was a beautiful uniformed (although not the same size) girl, so why not compliment her as he always did?
That was what he actually thought, so that was what he should say.
What he actually thought.
“…”
Still, he could not say it. He could not put it into words.
Noticing that he was acting strangely, Hera cocked her head.
“What’s the matter, Taiyou-chan? Scavenging for food?”
“No, not that.”
He outright denied it. He didn’t even make any smart remarks.
It was at that moment that Taiyou realized that he was perplexed.
Perplexed, and unable to say what he wanted to.
He must say it. Even if this was Hera, he must compliment her.
But the words got stuck in his throat.
“…W-Well, not bad.”
As a result of his hesitation, Taiyou had ended up blurting out that silly, or maybe even negative thought in his head.
“Not bad?”
“Y-Yeah, not too bad.”
He nodded, awkwardly looking away.
This was because Taiyou not only felt guilty but was scared of how Hera would react.
But then…
“Thank you, indeed.”
“Huh?”
“Heheh.”
Hera pinched the hem of her skirt and flew around in the air.
When she did this, Hera really did look like a perfectly normal, attractive girl.
No, even better.
Golden hair and an appearance so perfect it boggles the mind.
Taiyou was captivated.
