Chapter 608: Will Bring About a Change (2/2)

[Uweeehh!? W- W- W- What are you……]

Arehh? Seriously?

[Y- You’re wrong! It’s not decided that that is the case…… I don’t feel like it’s anything close to that……]

It was a very quiet voice unlike how she usually speaks, but I managed to hear it. I see, she’s not convinced that it’s love, but it’s like she had a faint feeling that love is starting to sprout from within her? That’s why she’s confused……

Wait a moment. In that case, the target of that lovesickness…… is it me?

N- No, that’s not something decided yet…… In the first place, I think Fate-san said that she’s only interested in people where her abilities don’t work, so thinking about this, the people of the opposite gender that fall under this category…… Arehh? What is this? I’m kind of starting to feel embarrassed.

[…………………..]

[…………………..]

Both Fate-san and I couldn’t come up with any more words to say, so a subtle, yet heavy silence arrived.

After a few moments of such silence, it was Fate-san who spoke first.

[……She’s right…… It’s just as Shall-tan said, this isn’t like me at all.]

[Errr, Fate-san?]

[Kai-chan! I’d like to ask you a request.]

[A request?]

[I might…… be in love…… with Kai-chan. However, I don’t know. I don’t know if this feeling really is love…… That’s why, I’d like to make sure.]

[Make sure?]

[……Go on…… another date with me.]

Those words must have taken an awful lot of courage to say. Fate-san looked bewildered. She was confused by these unknown feelings that had begun to grow in her heart…… No, perhaps, she may even be afraid of it.

But even so, she chooses to confront her fears and asks me this. Looking at her small trembling body……

[I understand.]

I thought it would be a betrayal to Fate-san to turn away or give a vague reply to her words filled with her courage. Thus, I accepted Fate-san’s suggestion.

Fate-san is not the only one who has to confront her feelings through this date. When she gave me her answer, I couldn’t give her a half-hearted reply after all……

Dear Mom, Dad————— Date. Hearing just this word, it sounds sweet to one’s ears. However, contrary to such an image, a date appointment has been settled in an atmosphere that feels like we’re about to face a serious challenge. Fate-san and I am sure of it. Regardless of the outcome of this date, the relationship between Fate-san and I————— will bring about a change.

The first character design for Volume 4 is now available in the Activity Report.

Serious-senpai : [Wait a moment, Kaito…… You’re not one of those dense protagonists who turn deaf sometimes!?]

? ? ? : [Ah~~ That’s quite an intel regarding Kaito-san. Speaking of which, Kaito-san has quite the energy when he faces this matter, so I guess we can expect that this would develop to a sweet level.]

Serious-senpai : [That’s the worst development for me though…… Protagonist, he’s really my natural enemy.]
