Lesson 20: Rapid Approaching

Hey, are you crying?

No way that Lycra.

Could that have been caused by your earlier interaction?

I don't even think it felt like I hated it that much.

Should I apologize? No, it's better to ask why first.

When I think about things in my head, Lycra talks to me first.

"You've seen something weird...... it would help if you forgot"

Lycra rubs her eyes with her arms and wipes her tears.

In the meantime, I ask what bothered me the most.

"I'm sorry... Could that have been a huge burden on Lycra?

If it's just affirmed here, I can't help but undo what I just decided.

"No, it doesn't have anything to do with what I just said... or anything at all."

Lycra seems to have regained some calm.

When I was told it wasn't irrelevant and felt somewhat responsible, I wanted to talk to him for now.

Maybe there's something I can do.

"If you can talk about it, why don't you talk about it? There's something you might be able to help me with, right?

"What we can talk about…………………………."

Lycra shows a bare gesture of thinking a little.

And I laugh a little bit at myself.

"... If we could indeed talk inside this castle, it would be about Lord Kite..."

"About me?

What's the meaning of this?

Does that mean it's hard to talk to the inside? I'm starting to get anxious.

At the same time, however, interest arose.

"If you can talk to me, even more so. I'll give you as much advice as I can as to what it might be."

"Is that true? That is indeed a fascinating suggestion…………"

But he still can't make the last stop, so I'm thinking about it a little.

So I push that back.

"All right, we're done talking. Let's talk in my room or Lycra's. Then make me some rice. I didn't eat anything."

Screw my demands in a crisp way.

Lycra smiles a little and acknowledges.

"Speaking of which, that was a promise...... okay. Then Lord Kite should wait in his room. I'll be on my way when you're ready."

"I understand."

I'm then behaved like Lycra cooks in my room.

I was terrified of what kind of food would come out, but the food that came out would satisfy me.

That was a little surprising. I didn't know I could cook this far.

No, is it rude to be surprised?

Say thank you to Lycra and get into a listening attitude.

"Then let me hear it, Lycra"

"Okay. It's a little embarrassing… I had someone I admired."

I listen with a strange face.

It doesn't have much of a tea atmosphere.

Ask what bothered me for now.

"Was it someone you admired... a man?

"Yeah."

Lycra nodded honestly.

I see. I think I can see a little direction.

I am concerned about the continuation, so I urge you to go ahead.

"I'm sorry. Keep going."

"... the person is a slightly older knight and still belongs to the Knights of this castle, the sword arm is also top notch and I used to learn swordsmanship at the person's place. I worked hard with all my heart to be strong like him. Since then, I've had a feeling of nature and longing."

"At least in my opinion, Lycra's arm is already a fine first-class product."

"Thank you. You'll be confident that Lord Kite will say that... but being strong doesn't always seem like a good thing."

What's this all about?

Is there something strong and troubling about it?

"Let's keep talking. I was just talking about it... I met with the knight I just talked to right after I broke up with Lord Kite, but that's when I was made to tear things up with Lord Kite... I was in a hurry and I wanted to solve the misunderstanding. Hidden thoughts..."

Lycra gives a sad look as to whether she remembers a little.

"... but it might have been a little frivolous, even though Lord Kite told me to speak to someone who had credibility..."

"No... that's not true. Anyone who thinks Lycra can be trustworthy is synonymous with trusting me."

"It makes you feel a little easier if you say so."

There was a slight smile on Lycra's face.

I can already see the end of this story with a blur.

"I think Lord Kite could have read the story already... but to put it simply... that's why I broke the ball there."

Lycra tries to laugh lightly but fails.

The expression is trying to laugh, but from both ends of her eyes, tears began to spill.

Beautiful faces sneeze in tears.

You must have remembered that time because you told me.

"Sorry...... I showed you something weird"

"That's fine. When you want to cry, just cry as much as you like."

Lycra continued to shake her shoulders and cry for some time afterwards.

I couldn't do anything but watch Lycra like that.

"I was told that a woman stronger than me wouldn't fit."

"I'd rather be a strong woman. I'm going to put you in the dungeon with me, and you're not just going to protect me, you're going to have to protect me sometimes."

"She seems to prefer bright women."

"I guess I prefer to be quiet. It feels so good to be together and be healed."

"He said he likes cute women."

"I think you're beautiful, huh?

That's it. Lycra finally laughs.

"Thanks."

"Well? I wonder what you mean."

Lycra stands up unexpectedly, whether she has given up pursuit for my outrageous demeanor.

"It's a pretty late hour...... let me decide to go back to my room"

"Okay."

I get up, too. The two of us move to the door.

"I'm sorry you asked me to talk weird."

"I don't mind. We could have had some good food."

Saying so much and looking at Lycra's face.

Lycra's lips accidentally blocked mine.

I was surprised and couldn't move at all.

Perhaps the time I was touching it was only for a moment.

Lycra leaves me after a while.

When I looked at her face, she was slightly red.

Traces of tears are almost gone already.

"Wow... we are lovers, aren't we? I don't think you'd be so surprised."

"But even if I say lover…………"

"Well...... then I will go back to my room. I did this on my own, so please don't tell Eliza."

"Oh, hey!

Lycra leaves the room saying so.

Apparently, there's one more thing I need to think about.
