Lapis

was in a good mood as she cleaned. She carefully collected dust from the

windowsill with a dust cloth. While she was at it, she wiped the window down

with a wet rag, then used the dust cloth for the second time.

While

working, Lapis kept glancing over at Lily to see what she was doing. Lily was

sitting at her desk, working in some document.

Seeing

Lily’s profile, Lapis smiled with a “Fufufu”.

「(Lily-san’s

reaction earlier, that was definitely her becoming conscious of me♪)」

When

she had touched Lily’s hands, Lapis hadn’t missed Lily’s cheeks becoming dyed

red. That had made her happy.

The

beginning went back to when Lapis had just woken up.

In an

unknown place, where she couldn’t freely move her body, and didn’t know herself,

Lapis had accumulated a large amount of stress.

Then,

Lily had appeared.

At that

time, Lapis hadn’t realized yet, but it was unmistakably love at first sight.

Her

stress had completely vanished.

Because

she was aware that she didn’t have any memories, she tried to confront her own

emotions. It didn’t take long for her to realize that she liked Lily. In

addition, there wasn’t any confusion in regards to liking the same gender.

When

they had gone shopping, it was completely a date, in Lapis’s mind.

When on

the flying carpet and she discovered her fear of heights, she had clung to Lily

as an excuse. But, the happiness that she felt at that time made the fear feel

small.

When

returning, Lapis listened to Lily’s surprising confession.

Somehow,

she also liked girls more.

It made

her happy. She had thought that she wouldn’t be able to pay her back. But, she

understood that this was a chance.

Lapis

decided that when they returned, she would go all out.

And she

moved to execute that plan, leading to the present.

「Lily-san,

what are you writing?」

Lapis,

who had finished wiping the window, hugged Lily from behind, who was working in

a document.

Lily’s

whole body flinched and shivered.

「L-Lapis-chan!

U-um, this is, well, a magic circle.」

It was

clear that she was trembling. Lapis’s smiling grew larger.

「Majik

circle?」

「Right.

With the laundry magic tool and the magic bag, they also have magic cirlces

engraved on them」

「Basically,

when this majik circle is engraved on an object, it’ll become a magic item?」

「You

comprehended quickly, that’s correct. …By the way, I also have something I’d

like to ask, is that okay?」

「Sure,

that’s fine.」

While her

cheeks were dyed, she spoke.

「Why are

you suddenly clinging onto me? Y-you know that I like girls, right? I’ll do it

seriously.」

There

was, indeed, so much Lily-ness that an unkind feeling budded within Lapis.

「Eh?

Skinship without a reason is no good? Sorry, from now on, I’ll try to resist.」

「I, I didn’t

say that. If you find it attractive, then you can look.」

「Really?

Then, I’ll look while like this.」

While

thinking that Lily-san is cute, Lapis hugged a bit tighter.

They

stayed in that pose for about 20 minutes.

Eventually,

Lily muttered “okay” and put down her pen.

「Did you

get through your passage?」

「No, I

finished.」

「Really?

Good work, I’ll bring you some tea.」

「Thanks.

But, one thing before that?」

Lily

faced the detached kitchen where Lapis went and called out to her. From her

attitude, there wasn’t even a speck of her previous confusion. Rather, she was

distinctively colored with confidence.

While

thinking that it was a little suspicious, she replied with “What?”.

「Earlier,

when Lapis-chan was hugging me, I had asked two questions.」

With an

expression like ‘Two questions were asked?’, Lapis tilted her head.

「The

first was purely asking why you were embracing me. The other one was “You know

that I like girls, right” (…), …why did you continue to hug me?」

「!」

Shoot,

Lapis thought.

But,

after a moment of thinking, Lapis gave up and smiled.

「…hahaha.

…Was I perhaps found out?」

About

what, she didn’t ask, since it was already understood.

Lily

gave a really happy-looking smile.

「Yeah, I

think so. I don’t think there’s a mistake about that.」

「Is that

so… …then, can I say it?」

「Nope.

That sort of thing is from the senior, isn’t that obvious?」

Declaring

her refusal, Lily once again faced Lapis.

Lapis

also unconsciously repositioned herself.

「—Lapis.

I love you. Please, become my girlfriend.」

「…okay.

I also love you. Please let me be your girlfriend.」

After confirming their feelings for each other, the two of them approached each other and strongly embraced each other. Because their feelings were conveyed, warmer, more pleasant and sweeter than anything until then.

(TL note: I’m horrible at writing love scenes, so I apologize if they seem kind of stiff or awkward.)
