Chapter 5 - The Results of the Suffocating Research
Late at night in one of the rooms in Droite-san's castle...
Droite: This is the results of what I researched, but...
While I was looking at Droite-san, I waited for the results of the research that he was going to tell me.
(What do I do, my heart is going really fast...)
I softly placed my hand on my chest to calm down my fast heartbeat. While looking at me with a serious gaze, Droite-san slowly spoke.
Droite: ...I have fallen for you from spending time with you. So, I want you to go out with me.
MC: ...!
After seeing me gasp, Droite-san furrowed his brow sadly.
Droite: ...You don't want to?
MC: It's not that I don't want to. I'm surprised, but... I'm really happy.
Droite: I see... That's good.
When I conveyed my feelings intermittently, Droite-san looked at me and sighed in relief... Once again, he hugged me, but more strongly than before...
Last Chapter - Shoes for You
The next morning after I accepted Droite-san's feelings firmly...
Droite: Now that we've become lovers... Let's go on a date.
Already dressed, he came to my room to invite me out on a date.
Droite: Come on, hurry and get ready.
MC: O-Okay...!
As I hurriedly ran after Droite-san as he was in a rush, it doesn't feel like our relationship has changed even after becoming lovers. Even so, it made me strangely happy that I smiled while following Droite-san from behind...
......
Droite: ...Walking all the way to town somehow feels refreshing.
Aside from what we did last time, we arrived at town by walking instead of flying on a broom.
MC: Droite-san, you seem to have always travel by riding a broom.
Droite: That's because walking is a waste of time.
MC: Huh, then today...
Droite: It's because you're with me today. I wanted to take my time, since it's not that boring with you around. Also, if we rode on the broom, I wouldn't be able to see your face...
MC: Eh...?
Droite: ...
When he looked away with his face all red, Droite-san's walking pace became faster as he was silent. Just as I ran after him, I felt a sharp pain running through my heel.
(...I've been getting an uncomfortable feeling there since earlier, but...)
Due to walking around a lot today, I've gotten blisters on both of my heels... When the uncomfortable feeling increased as I walked, it became painful in the end.
Droite: MC? What's wrong, you stopped.
MC: I-I'm sorry... It's nothing.
(I don't want to make Droite-san worry, so I should endure it for a bit...)
I didn't want to make Droite-san worry, so I smiled wholeheartedly and walked towards him as he was slightly ahead of me while enduring the pain...
(Ow... I might've pushed myself more than I realized..)
After we returned to the castle, I was in my room to rest my feet that had gotten blisters. Then, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
(...? Who could it be?)
The moment I quickly got up, a sharp pain ran through my heels as I hurried to open the door. Over there was Droite-san with a bit of an embarrassed expression.
Droite: Sorry for coming at this hour. I wanted to see your face for a bit before going to sleep.
After saying that, Droite-san walked towards the sofa. I followed him from behind, but just as I took a few steps forward...
Droite: ...Huh? Aren't you walking a bit oddly?
When Droite-san saw me walking stiffly due to the pain, he made a suspicious look.
MC: Eh? N-Not at all...
Droite: ...Show me your feet for a second.
Droite-san crouched down towards my feet. Then...
Droite: You, this is...! You're bleeding!
After seeing my heels that were bleeding, Droite-san shouted that.
MC: Ah, no... I just got some small blisters.
Droite: Why didn't you tell me!
MC: ...!
Just as I became surprised from how angry Droite-san was as he was making a serious face, my shoulders trembled a little.
Droite: No, sorry for shouting...
Droite-san lowered a brow troubledly from seeing my reaction.
Droite: I'm sorry for not noticing... Wait for a sec.
MC: !
After Droite-san gently picked me up and made me sit on the bed... The moment he chanted a spell and snapped his fingers, the shoes disappeared like an illusion.
Droite: Were you surprised? ...Actually, a few days ago, I found a note with the spell that could free you from the magic shoes written in it. It would've been best if I had them removed much sooner by doing this. I just wanted you to wear them no matter what... Sorry.
MC: No, that's...
As Droite-san hung his head down in front of me, I looked down at my feet that didn't have the ruby shoes on...
(I didn't care if they hurt, I didn't want to take them off...)
My shoulders dropped from the somewhat disappointing feelings that were taking hold of me.
Droite: Don't make that face.
As if he knew what I was feeling, Droite-san made a wry smile as he caressed my hair. Then...
Droite: Wait for a bit.
After Droite-san said that again, he chanted a spell with a serious look... Right after he snapped his fingers as usual, some new ruby shoes appeared in the air.
Droite: This time, I've created some shoes that won't give you any wounds just for you.
When Droite-san retrieved the ruby shoes that appeared in the air, he smiled at me.
Dreoite: Let me give you these shoes as a present at least.
MC: Droite-san...
When Droite-san kneeled near the side of the bed, he held up my foot. Then, after he put the ruby shoes on me gently, he softly kissed my lips.
Droite: The ruby shoes look good on you.
After Droite-san whispered that to me with a deep captivating tone, he looked up at me earnestly.
Droite: These shoes are proof that you're my cherished woman. So, don't take them off again.
Right after he said that, his serious gaze softened up... Droite-san looked at me with a bit of a mischievous smile.
(Droite-san...)
Then, his smile took my heart away completely...
MC: Okay...
Him telling me not to take the shoes off again made me accept them obediently...
