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.)
