Chapter 342 – Forgiveness Is Easier Than Permission. -One-

Ideal type.

There is a high probability that it will be difficult, and it may be a human image that is difficult to exist because it is the most complete form condensed in the imagination.

I like kind people. I like soft people.

I like a manly person. I like people who have a refreshing smile.

I like people who are not oppressed by authority. I like someone who listens carefully to what I say.

I like people who accept jokes with a smile. I like someone who doesn’t treat women like toys.

I like people who know how to say thank you for favors.

I like someone who knows how to say sorry when they make a mistake rather than shamelessly protecting their pride.

Because there were so many things that had happened in her life, the girl who was so tired of life in the world so quickly became indescribably harsh towards the opposite sex.

Even without Ceria’s intention, her mind built a solid wall, which grew into a sharp intuition that kept selfishness and lust in check.

So she naturally lived away from the opposite sex.

Finally, the day came when the spring breeze blew even through the solid gaps.

‘···I love you, adventurer.’

I couldn’t say it out loud easily, but saying I like it wasn’t enough to express the feelings inside.

It started to feel real when we were having a conversation. I was aware of it without even realizing it.

Emotions that are not faced try to control the whole body and pretend to be great.

If you admit it like now and at the same time peel back the layers and look at the reality, it is simple and miserable.

Love did not necessarily require a great opportunity like a novel.

Receiving selfless and sincere concern, matching people to their level, investing time in yourself even though there is nothing to gain…

These are things that, when listed in print, seem as simple as everyday life.

‘But that must be difficult.’

As old and worn-out shackles pile up, they become overflowing.

At one point, looking back, she felt proud of herself for building her relationships by accumulating debts that she could not repay throughout her life.

“To be praised by the beautiful Lady Seria Electra. This adventurer Roman – it is a great honor.”

“Really…! Don’t play around, listen seriously…!”

As my emotions grew increasingly anxious, my legs began to swing out of control.

I felt like I was going to cry because I was happy to be carried on my back, but I was also resentful of my poor heart that couldn’t become a weapon of temptation.

Even jokingly, they told me that she was a beautiful young lady, so I was just happy there.

“How could you make a joke in front of the lady?”

‘···You’re really grumpy!’

How scary it is to say the word ‘beautiful’ without knowing how the other person feels.

A determination and desire to inform the platinum adventurer.

The girl climbs up Roman’s shoulders like a mountain.

She gave up her hesitation and put her lips out to trace his cheek.

Side!

“I will pay the request fee to the adventurer who worked hard to listen to me!”

Ceria looked away and smiled as her face heated up.

Her heart was pounding wildly, and it felt like it would jump out of her body at any moment.

Even a proper kiss is a funny act, but for an inexperienced girl, it is monumental.

Even if it was just a joke, I couldn’t bear to hear people say that I was beautiful, so I had an unexpected feeling.

The determination she showed as she decided on the direction of her heart was half gone.

“Seria…?”

Roman was also embarrassed.

One would say that one was momentarily overwhelmed by the cheerful girl’s reckless behavior.

“I… I’m not joking-!! I did it because I like it…”

Ceria, who declared as if struggling, turned behind her and hid her face.

“···.”

I’m not the type of person who is oblivious enough to ask what’s good.

I was shocked because I simply couldn’t feel the texture left on my cheek.

“Well, did you feel uncomfortable as expected?”

She acted courageously, but her anxiety was indescribable because there was no response from Roman.

I rationally know that the other person also needs time to understand the situation and think.

The trembling mind was something else.

“There’s no reason to be offended.”

“···.”

Although I was reassured by Roman’s calm tone.

The silence waiting for him to open his mouth was more trembling than the day Ceria first picked up her sword.

····

Long time.

Roman also felt like thunder was thundering inside his head.

‘Wow… I was surprised.’

Being stabbed in the back with harsh words is less surprising than this.

In our past lives, there were many cases where our bodies mixed first when our eyes met, and the procedure of confession was merely a confirmation process that followed after we had knocked on all the stone bridges.

But.

The relationship between nobles or people with positions of their own in the empire is based on the premise of marriage, so it has a different weight from the past life.

“Seria.”

“Yes, yes-!!”

The moment the name is called, the girl’s whole body trembles and her voice is so nervous.

Roman, who was carrying her, also felt it desperately and laughed.

“Do you like me that much?”

“···I like it! I really like it!”

Even though it is clear that it will not be easy.

The girl who made up her mind and expressed her feelings was amazing.

“What do you think about me?”

“Well, I’m so scared because I don’t know that…”

My small hands were trembling as I held on to my clothes.

This picture somehow reminds me of the day Rike came to visit, making me feel nostalgic.

“I like it too. It’s cute and lively and makes me smile just looking at it.”

“!”

“But I don’t think I love you.”

“Ah···.”

A single letter of sighing escapes the girl’s lips.

That short sound was like a scream falling into an abyss.

“Seria. Don’t make conclusions and just listen to the end, right? That’s how I started dating Lily’s.”

“···Sister?”

Do you come to your senses about the person mentioned?

His voice, which had been cut off by sighing, began to speak again.

“I want to talk about important things face to face. Is the cramp in your leg okay?”

“Yeah… I’m okay now.”

Lower her knees to lower Ceria to her floor and turn around.

The girl was startled and lowered her gaze to the floor.

“I’m embarrassed?”

Her head nodded urgently.

She was a very cute girl in every action she took.

I lightly touched his soft cheek and told him about my love story so far.

“It would be perfect if the starting point of the relationship was affection that goes both ways. That was the case for Ricke and I.”

“···.”

“But that’s an idealistic theory. I don’t think it’s a problem if a relationship starts with a crush.”

“Well, then-!!”

Seria’s head suddenly lifted and light flashed in her eyes.

When her eyes met, her face blushed again and she looked down. She was a fun and charming girl.

“In the end, the important thing is whether there is any chance that our feelings for each other will grow from liking to affection. That’s right, right?”

“Ugh…”

At her words of hopelessness, Ceria patted her chest with a somber look on her face.

Roman was very embarrassed by that action.

“No, breast size doesn’t matter there.”

“Really···?”

I don’t think it would be right to mention Alice here to comfort her for her weakness.

However, it was clear that he was crazy when he said that he only had to touch her butt and not her breasts.

She didn’t even bother to say anything. I proved it by nodding my head with the most serious expression on my face.

As if she was a little convinced, Ceria put her hand back on her chest.

“Seria is charming and beautiful. Like everyone else, I can’t shake the feeling that she’s too much for me.”

“Huh, huh-!”

Seeing Ceria almost losing her legs in shock, I think my words are enough to answer the question about her prospects.

As she is a girl with a quick sense, she would have figured it out right away.

“Actually, the really important thing is this. If you look at everyone in the mansion right now, Ceria will know, but even if I’m an adventurer, I’m not inclined to date lightly. It’s always on the premise of marriage.”

“Marriage···!”

Where is the conversation led by Roman headed?

The girl’s eyes, she vaguely guessed, were shining with excitement.

“Seria. I guess you didn’t show your feelings for me too spontaneously. Do you have any regrets?”

“Huh···!”

First check.

“Even though once you get involved with me and I start having feelings for you, you never let me go?”

“Huh!!”

At her second confirmation, Ceria nodded as if her neck would break.

As if responding, Roman slightly stuck out her fist.

“Please take care of me in the future, my lady.”

Seria banged her fists with a tearful expression on her face.

She threw her body into Roman’s embrace, who opened his arms.

··
··

The wind blowing down the mountain is cold.

So the girl sinks deeper into her warm embrace.

“Adventurer. Can I ask you a question?”

“Huh?”

“Aren’t I far from your tastes as an adventurer…?”

“No? It’s cute and pretty. There’s no man who doesn’t like that.”

A bright smile appeared on Seria’s face as if she was satisfied with the answer.

Then she pursed her lips as a concern occurred to her.

“I’m worried about how to tell my sister… I’m sure she’ll be very surprised… Right?”

Looking at Ceria with a worried look in her eyes.

Roman grinned and sat down on a rock in the clearing to meet her eye level.

“Seria. Can I tell you something nice?”

“Yes···?”

“Forgiveness is easier than permission.”

Side!

Let Roman leave a mark on Ceria’s lips.

The girl’s eyes grew bigger as she accepted her reality.

“I will convince Lilly. An adventurer stole the lips of a noblewoman, so he must take responsibility.”

“···!”

“Let’s go down now. Can you carry me on my back?”

“Ugh…Your hand!”

Shaking her head, Ceria held out her hand.

Roman held the girl’s hand with a laugh.

He held her hand and walked down the hill back to the mansion.

Seria took the lead in leading Roman, looking forward to and enjoying the future that would arise from the changed relationship.

Even though the rigid nicknames were not organized and the affection attack was so biased that it could be called extreme, the relationship changed.

It’s overflowing with that.

There was no more perfect outcome or beginning for the girl.

From today onwards, she will do everything in her power to hear Roman say that he loves her.

Ceria, walking with one foot in front of her, moves her foot to the other.

Roman asked as he followed.

“The mansion is over there?”

“···There’s something I want to show you.”

“Oh! Let’s go.”

Because the night sky I saw from the hill exceeded my expectations.

I was looking forward to the place Seria was going to show me.

“W-here.”

A small house right across from the mansion.

This place is also said to belong to Electra.

“Hmm~ It’s cozy?”

As she stepped inside, she was reminded of her old home in the capital.

Even the arrangement of the furniture was similar, so my eyes moved here and there.

“···It’s just as you said, adventurer.”

“Huh? What are you saying?”

I loved the faint smell of wood emanating from the wooden furniture in the study room.

I can see that there is no dust, so it has been cleaned well.

“I think the adventurer’s persuasion will definitely work on my sister.”

“Uh?”

“Still, I don’t want to rely on it from the beginning of a relationship. I want to create facts that cannot be taken away from me and say it with my own mouth…”

Click!

Roman turned his head at the sound of the doorknob being clicked.

The girl, whose face was redder than her red hair, pursed her lips.

I spat out exactly what I said.

“Huh, forgiveness is easier than permission!”

The girl had no intention of going back smoothly from the moment her lips were stolen.

From the time she confessed her feelings and it yielded positive results.

I was determined to do this.
