Chapter 45

Translator: Jawbrie

The blood rises to my face. It’s as if there is another heart inside of my head which is causing my bloodstream to panic. Just like the chaos of my blood flow, my reasoning was also in disarray.

“I’m glad. So you like me too.”

Like. The word make my shoulders jump.

“Ssssshut up! Sh….ut up, you idiot!”

“Idiot!?”

I chastised him as a reflex, but I was hardly coherent.
This was bad. I could tell that it wasn’t just my face, my neck was becoming red as well. The sound of my furiously beating heart was incredibly aggravating. I was about to fly into a panic over this new feeling. But it was not possible for me to be calm.
What was this?

My feelings had changed as if I had been reborn. I could barely keep up with it.
And now Charles’ angry face came right up to mine.

“Chris? Why did you call me an idiot!”

His face was so close.
Aware of this distance, I avert my eyes quickly.

But it was useless. We were even holding hands. We were dancing, our bodies were practically joined. Now that I thought of it, I could feel his breath on my neck. Also, wait. My hands were sweating. No. Charles would notice and–

“Umph!”

“Wah!?”

I thrust a foot out and throw him to the ground. Of course, we were holding hands, and so I lose my balance as well. But that was my aim. Our bodies were now separated. Just like I had planned. And then, together, we both fall into the flower bed like we did once long ago.
Charles immediately got back up to hit feet.

“What!? What was that, Chris!? You scared me!”

“Shut up! I can’t. I just can’t!!”

Unlike Charles, who was now standing, I rolled onto my stomach, covered my face and kicked with my feet.

“Can’t what!? What is it, Chris!”

“There is a saying about three thousand worlds and keeping boys and girls separate from seven! I am a lady! I can’t!”

“I’ve never heard such a saying. What are you even talking about!?”

“There is! There just is!”

Though, it was knowledge from my past life!
I am not lying!
I am not deceiving!
I am not confusing!
After all, I am a genius!

“Really now, Charles. Don’t you have anything to say…?”

I force the words out, all the while laying on my stomach and covering my face.
I am, you know…
I hadn’t realized it at first, but I had practically made a confession of love.
The leaves and stems tickled me. But I didn’t want to raise my face. I couldn’t face him just now. I would rather lie here in this uncomfortable position.
Yes, I know that Charles liked me. I knew that we both liked each other. I knew that Charles was happy about this.

But, even then.
Didn’t he have a little more to give after my confession?

“I do.”

His timing was so good that it was almost as if he had read my mind.
The words echoed from his mouth without hesitation.

“It’s not that I don’t. I’ve been waiting so long for you to say that. All this time, I’ve been thinking about how I didn’t want to lose to Mishuli.”
