Chapter 186 – The First Confession Is a Challenge. (With Illustrations)

It’s not a stupid asshole who can’t anticipate what will happen during the trip.

It’s not another woman, it’s Chloe.

When I mustered up the courage to go on a trip with a love affair with me.

Fascinated by the content of the announcement, of course it wasn’t that I nodded my head because I really wanted to go on a trip.

If I hadn’t made up my mind in the first place, I wouldn’t have followed.

At a time when Chloe intentionally distanced herself from me, she lived thinking a lot about me too.

As I headed toward the count’s estate, I calmly examined the direction of my anger.

I am.

Is Eclair upset because something almost happened to make her sad?

If that’s not the case, because Chloe, whom she admires thinking of her as her younger sister, would be traumatized by something absurd?

Finding the answer took me a while too.

The answer was pre-determined according to the circumstances, and the result was already decided from the moment she nodded in her reception room.

Still, this is a bit unexpected timing.

“I···!”

When you try to do something, there is a momentum or a unique atmosphere that comes out of it.

‘Now··?’

Although Chloe usually shows an introverted side.

This air, which stimulates my senses right away, is proud to have accurately sensed what will happen in the future.

“That… That, that extreme! That, that’s why…!”

“…”

I looked at Chloe, who shook her body as if she was out of order, shaking her shoulders.

Her face turns red beyond this, and even her eyes begin to spin.

It looked like it would break down soon due to overload.

Tup.

I took out a bottle of her cold water and lightly put it on Chloe’s cheek, and she came to her senses with a startle.

“Sweet!”

“Calm down. Drink.”

Chloe, her lips dry, gulps down the water with her trembling hands, engulfed in her tension.

“Haa…! Go, thank you.”

Seeing her breathing hard even though she hadn’t worked out, I could tell how nervous she was with the emotion of the moment.

“Chloe. Have you calmed down a bit?”

Let’s put her hands on her gray hair.

Chloe slowly shook her head with her eyes wide open.

“Yes, yes…”

I calmed her down and looked around her.

There is no one there except an old man who is sitting at the counter in the distance and dozing off.

‘Does the bookstore have a good time?’

How much does it cost to maintain a store of this size when there are no customers?

Even if it’s bad news for the owner of the bookstore, it’s a bad time for the two of them to talk.

I decided to properly face Chloe, who seemed to have no time to spare.

“Would you like to sit down?”

“…”

A space made like a road with bookshelves piled up.

Here and there, she pulled up a chair that was neglecting her duties and sat Chloe down.

The warm light coming through the window and the calming smell of books.

Breathing irregularly and loud enough to cause her shoulders to rise and fall.

After a while, she let go of her tension and spoke to Chloe, who seemed to have calmed down.

“Have you calmed down a bit?”

“Whoa… Yes.”

Contrary to the drooping sighs, the voice was resolute.

Although she calmed down, her mind did not seem to change that she would have to settle the matter in this shabby bookstore.

Blue eyes rushed at me with the momentum to pierce me.

After all, it should be called Drit or sisters, but the eyes engraved with willpower and determination resembled Eclair.

Tick-tock-

In the silence, the sound of the second hand pierces your ears.

“…”

A love heart that is passed on without knowing the other person’s heart.

I know how much courage it takes.

‘Even though he’s not perfect, he’s strong and courageous…’

It disappears and does not exist for me.

The confession that takes place in the first romance is a pure challenge.

Perhaps this appearance of Chloe is a precious scene allowed only once in her life.

Creatures called humans are timid and have a fox-like side inside, so when the first challenge of confession fails, emotions resembling impatience and fear grow.

So that.

If you experience dating a few times, confession is not a challenge.

It turns into a procedure to check the exchange of emotions before developing a relationship and enter the final confirmation work.

In my personal opinion, it is safe to say that I have the skill to demand certain results.

To be a little blunt, I think it’s safe to say that I was scared.

Because it is the person who has experienced such a dark history.

I feel I have an obligation to her to make it easy on her little bit.

“Chloe. Why did I come here with you?”

“···Ah?!”

The strong energy reminiscent of an eclair shook greatly.

Even after repeated denials, did you understand my words over and over again?

She looked like she was going to drop her head and burst into tears at any moment.

“It’s not over yet. I want to hear Chloe’s heart honestly.”

I almost burst into tears, but I stopped! When she stopped, she spent a long time biting her lower lip.

Cluck-

She drank in the half-remaining cold water and quenched her throat with difficulty, and she lowered her head slightly.

He started talking in a low voice appropriate to the location.

“It’s out of the blue, but… Do you know that when reading romance novels, there are often cases where you can’t control your emotions and confess before you know each other for sure, ruining the relationship?”

“Hmm~ I’ve never read a romance novel properly, so I don’t know. It’s a common occurrence in real life.”

“When I read that part, I always didn’t understand it…”

“Why?”

The smile Chloe painted on her face was tinged with self-help.

“No matter how hard it may be, I thought that maybe I should just wait for more opportunities to succeed while suppressing my emotions and crouching… But that’s something that only people who haven’t experienced can say.”

“Chloe. You don’t have to look down on yourself, everyone does. Human beings can only be known by experiencing them. Those without that process are either geniuses or idiots.”

He said he would bring up one more absurd story.

After asking for her permission, Chloe got up from her chair and took a step closer to me.

I naturally touched Chloe’s bangs, which were messed up with cold sweat.

Feeling her touch, she lightly leaned her forehead on my chest.

“Brother… I love books very much. It’s embarrassing, but I sometimes have the urge to not only read, but also record stories about the past or write delusions…”

“Nice.”

“But I still feel that only my heart is ahead of me… Looking back, I don’t have much to write down, and my experience and knowledge are limited.

From the afterwords, Chloe’s voice was filled with desperate emotions, and it trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

“Ha, but…! My dream may be unreasonable, but when I look back on my life, I hope dozens or hundreds of thick books come out. A story where everyone is happy without any sadness or conflict…”

Her cold sweat flowed and her pupils trembled. She couldn’t raise the corners of her mouth and let out her emotions as the tears she had been holding back dripped.

“Can you please appear on the next page of my life forever…?”

With her last words, Chloe raised her head and exchanged glances with me from the distance where breaths mingled.

Her expression of shedding tears in a situation where a kind smile would have been suitable for some reason came powerfully on the contrary.

A unique confession that doesn’t appeal to the other person’s where, how, or why.

I didn’t have time to say my thoughts, but I thought I’d let them know and listen to them in the future.

“If you’ll give me permission… I’ll be happy.”

When I smiled and opened her arms, she brought her body close to me.

…
…

He stroked Chloe’s head, soothing her swollen eyes with her bottle of cold water.

“Did you all cry?”

“Huuuuu shame!”

I hugged her at the end of my words, soothed her from crying and came out of the bookstore.

Her first date, following a developed relationship, unexpectedly took place under her leadership.

In my words, do everything you want to do without regrets.

She carefully crossed her arms and pulled me towards her.

The agony accumulated in emotions melted and the reins were released, and Chloe took the initiative.

Even so, she repeatedly led me to be ashamed of her behavior along the way, leading me without a dull moment.

She enjoyed the trip with Chloe, forgetting her worries until the sun went down and the moon rose.

-We would like to express our gratitude to all of you who have loved Del Arte today! Thanks to your support, we were invited by nobles from various territories and left for a month of wandering!

After a famous play that you must see when you come to Librosia.

A middle-aged man who looked quite old came up and announced the news.

It’s a must-see play in Librosia, for fun, but it’s a story that you won’t be able to see it for at least a month.

All the actors who appeared came up to say hello, and applause and cheers poured out.

“We’ve been lucky.”

“Ooh, we…! Hehe- I see.”

After getting up from our seats and seeing the people scattering, Chloe and I decided to move slowly at the very end.

Even people with similar thoughts are scattered.

I asked looking at Chloe, who was still hanging by my arm holding her tight.

“It was fun?”

All of the characters in the play are professionally trained.

While watching it, I felt the impression that one vocalization was amazingly good, but…

To my sensibilities, small plays I saw on the street are more interesting.

“Uh… I don’t know…! It was nice though! Heh…”

At my question, she smiled and leaned her head on her shoulder.

‘Looks like he’s drunk.’

It’s just a feeling, but in fact, there wasn’t even a drop of alcohol in it.

Rather, I felt drunk with a sense of liberation and achievement.

I knew Chloe was only staring at my face rather than her play.

Although he secretly tried to steal my gaze, he returned his eyes a few times.

Every time I was surprised, I hurriedly averted my eyes.

I was more tickled by the freshness and freshness of a girl who had no idea what to do with her first relationship.

Her Chloe raised her head as if she had suddenly remembered something, and her face blushed and whispered.

“Ah…! Brother. Could you wait here for a moment? I’ll be right back.”

“Go slowly.”

It could be because she had a drink and she didn’t leave for quite a long time watching the play.

After a while.

Chloe returned with modest steps, and she took up a seat next to me again.

Outdoors where everyone leaves and no one is there.

A dark amphitheater with nowhere to lean on except moonlight.

We didn’t get up there, but chatted at a slow tempo in the night breeze.

Chloe, who checked her surroundings over and over again to the point of unnaturalness, pressed her body completely against me.

‘Uh··? This?’

As before, the overwhelming size of her breasts felt from Chloe, who clung to her by the arm.

The feel of the cloth was distinctly different from before.

It feels like a layer of obstacles that make you feel tactile have disappeared.

Chloe called me in a whisper.

“Brother.”

“Hmm?”

Smart-

‘…?!’

Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn’t understand what was going on.

Chloe slightly unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her breasts, shaped like her sister’s, through the gap.

But.

It’s so overwhelming that even an eclair can’t dare to touch it.

I couldn’t take my eyes off it, and I was bound as it was.

She half-covered her face, who had heated up with the book she bought at the bookstore as she passed by.

Filled with hot heat, he spoke to me as if pleading.

“Since it’s a trip… Can’t we stay in the same room?”
