"Eh, erm..."

“Speak as usual. Even if it is scratched now, it will feel strange. each other....."

"Huh... yeah"

Cecilia took her eyes off Oscar and stared at the fire in front of her.I could swallow the situation, but my head is still confused.

Even though I was going to tell you about the men's clothes, I was going to take a few more steps and then tell you.I don't know, everything I've been thinking about is a bubble.

Without knowing how Cecilia felt, Oscar opens his mouth to confirm.

"Is Cecilia the right name?"If you like [Cecil] as it is, I'll call you that.... "

"Well, Cecilia, that's fine."

"All right."

……

……

Silence.

(Ki, awkward!!)

I deserve it, but I can't stand it.

If this was the usual routine and this was in the academy, Cecilia would have run away.That's about the weight of the air.But I'm sad. It's unusual now, and this is a cave.Besides, it was dark outside and it was raining.

There's no escape.

(What should I do......)

As Cecilia bowed down with a blue face, Oscar put the dead wood on the fire.The sound of firewood bursts loudly, and the fire is slightly stronger.

Cecilia stared at his face like that.

His sideways appearance is really the same as usual.It may be a hopeful observation, but it doesn't look angry or grumpy.

Um, Oscar.

Hmm?

Maybe it's your imagination, but aren't you really surprised?

Well, that's right.

"I don't think so, but did you realize I'm a woman?"

Oscar turned towards Cecilia with a slightly surprised look at the words.After blinking a few times, I turned my gaze back to the fire.And after a few seconds of exhaustion, he nodded hesitantly, "... well."

In response, Cecilia bumps into Oscar.

"Since when have you noticed!?"

Is that about summer?

"Summer!?"

Cecilia raises a flipped voice.

Summer is not about a few days or a few weeks ago.Could it be that it was almost six months ago?

And when it comes to summer, there's only one thing in mind.

Oh, no way, in that cottage?

Yeah.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

It's an unintentional tone of reprimand.

In response to her attitude, Oscar replied without being offended.

"I heard from Gilbert that 'Cecilia will flee the country if she finds out I've noticed'. I couldn't say."

"Fleeing abroad..."

Didn't you?

"No..."

If we had known at that point, we would certainly have had that option in sight.Back then, I seriously thought Oscar would die if he found out.

(That's why you said 'don't flee the country' just now...)

Cecilia finally learns the meaning of what she said earlier.

In other words, after everything that happened at Sylvie's cottage, he always knew that Cecil was Cecilia and acted as Cecil together.

(My head is starting to hurt...)

Looking back at what I've said and done to him so far, I feel like dying for a moment.

I just got rescued from the dead, but I'm in the mood.

Oscar threw a carefree gaze at how Cecilia was doing.

"Isn't it colder than that?"

"Um, it's okay." The fire is also warm.I'm sorry I put the blanket on by myself, right? "

"Don't worry about it."My clothes will dry soon.... I mean, when you talk to Cecil like that, it feels really uncomfortable. "

“That's what Oscar told you to talk like you always do!”

"That's true, but...."

Oscar laughs with a troubled face.

Cecilia also made a smile in her mouth so that she could get upset.But with one beat, her expression sinks.

"Um, Oscar, I'm sorry?"

Hmm?

"Don't talk about men's clothes until now."... you're feeling uncomfortable, aren't you? "

Now you're talking to me normally, but I can't help but tell you that I was angry and hated.After they got me out of here, I said, "We're fucked!'I can't complain to Cecilia, even if she says so.

Cecilia clenches her fist.

Oscar spoke to her unexpectedly.

"You must have had the head to think about that."

Ouch, that's terrible!

I'm just kidding.

Oscar shakes his shoulder as if he didn't care at all.

And she spoke as gentle as if to encourage Cecilia, who was depressed.

"Except, I didn't feel bad."If anything, it was so pathetic... "

Was it pathetic?

"Yeah. I knew you couldn't rely on me."Of course Gilbert did, but even though Dante and Leanne knew why I couldn't teach them anything, I was a little lowly. "

Cecilia blinked, hoping that Oscar's unexpected reaction would despise her.

"Did Oscar want me to rely on him?"

"Of course, my fiancée, I am."

Huh?

"It's only natural that you want to rely on someone you'll be with for the rest of your life, right?"... have you forgotten? "

"Well, that's not true!"When I say it again, it's like this...... "

It's embarrassing.

Cecilia hangs down, her cheeks burning and her body temperature rising.

I felt once again that I was Oscar's fiancée.

Oscar spoke with a cautious voice as to what he thought of her.

"You don't want to marry me?"

Huh?

"You don't want to marry me?Is that why you go to college in men's clothes? "

……

“So you couldn't just tell me that?”

At first glance, he asks.But Cecilia couldn't help but stand up, seeing sad, uneasy emotions hiding somewhere in her voice.

"Oh, no!"

"Ahh!"

"That's why I couldn't tell Oscar!"It's not like I don't want to get married! "

In the first place, I never thought I'd really marry him.Because he was going to like Leanne, and there was no such thing as a route with Cecilia.Being a fiancé, I didn't really expect this engagement to happen.

In response to Cecilia's desperate denial, Oscar opens his mouth after a moment of silence.

Really?

Yeah!

You really don't like it, do you?

No, I don't want to.

For some reason, Cecilia nodded, tilting her head.

With that nod, Oscar pulls his lips up. It's a bit of a bad face.

I told you, didn't I?

Huh?

I've made up my mind. I won't talk about breaking my engagement anymore!

"Huh!?"

Unexpectedly, Cecilia's voice turned upside down.

But he naturally looked up at Cecilia, who was still standing.

You don't like it, do you?

"No. I don't hate that, but..."

"If you don't like it, I won't let you go. I don't have that kind of leeway."

Oscar says that and squeezes Cecilia's hand.

Cecilia's body temperature is a little higher than hers, which is transmitted from his hand, and Cecilia is a wolf.

And Oscar speaks like he's the last.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

In response, Cecilia suddenly turned red and crouched down on the spot, saying, "Let me rest for a while."
