At any rate, after a fewā¦ā¦ no, after quite a large amount of time, I somehow managed to calm down Lilia-san.
[Lilia-san, have you calmed down?]
[Y- Yes, Iām all better now.]
Her face was still as red as a boiled octopus, but if I point that out, she might end up getting even more embarrassed, so Iāll just keep quiet about it.
However, regarding that kiss just nowā¦ā¦ should I touch upon that matter? Itās also difficult to completely avoid that topic, and the more time passes, the more likely Lilia-san will feel awkward about itā¦ā¦ Letās just gather my courage and bring it up here.
[ā¦ā¦Errr, Lilia-san. About what you did just now?]
[Ahh, no, that isā¦ā¦ Like I said before, I thought I should show a more adult-like attitude, like, showing my dignity as someone olderā¦ā¦ s- so, sometimes, I wanted to be the one taking the initiativeā¦ā¦ and soā¦ā¦]
As embarrassment makes Lilia-sanās face grow redder and redder, it seems like steam might start rising from her head any moment now.
[In other words, Lilia-san hadā¦ā¦ so to speak, you wanted to do something lover-like on your own initiative, so you did something like that?]
[Y- Yesā¦ā¦ Y- You see. Even I, umm, wanted to do couple-like things with Kaito-sanā¦ā¦ B- Being lovey-dovey is what you call it, yes? I want to do that too. However, Iād usually get embarrassed and hesitate, so Iāve just been secretly studying and doing image training in preparation for moments like thisā¦ā¦]
[I- I had studied popular romance novels and had done careful image training before going through the real deal butā¦ā¦ T- Things really just wonāt go according to how you imagine it.]
While that was a bit surprising, itās also quite heartwarming. Lilia-san certainly is quite the shy person; I remember she even fainted the first time we kissed.
However, even though sheās feeling embarrassed, it seems Lilia-san has the desire to do more lover-like things with me, and sheās actively making efforts within her capabilities to overcome it.
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, ummm, in my image training, I did properly kiss you on the lipsā¦ā¦ but when things are actually happening, I couldnāt summon the courage and resorted to thatā¦ā¦
It seems that she herself was aware that her acting was a bit forced. Well, how should I say thisā¦ā¦ I just couldnāt help thinking that Lilia-san is adorable.
Blushing with embarrassment, trying to escape the situation by pressing her index fingers togetherā¦ā¦ While she might not feel like someone older than me, her cuteness is absolutely overwhelming.
[In other words, Lilia-san was actually planning for a normal kiss?]
[Y- Yes. U- Ummm, t- that was a good mood we had earlierā¦ā¦]
[Well, would you mind if Iām the one initiating it?]
Upon hearing my words, Lilia-sanās face, which was already red enough, seemingly as if an explosion resounded, grew even redder.
Guess pursuing things any further here would be a bad idea. Thereās a chance she might go overload, so Iāll just wait for Lilia-sanās reactionā¦ā¦
After waiting for Lilia-sanās statement without saying anything for a whileā¦ā¦ Lilia-sanās eyes moved around restlessly several times, and slightly lowering her head, she quietly muttered her response.
[ā¦ā¦I- Iām fine with itā¦ā¦]
[Then, if youāll excuse me.]
Having received Lilia-sanās approval, I gently reached out and, my hand tracing along her cheek, tilted her face upwards. With her face blushing red, looking up at me with teary eyes, Lilia-sanās gaze was so destructive that it made my heart skip a beat, but holding such emotions back, I slowly leaned in, ensuring not to make Lilia-san uneasy.
Lilia-sanās eyes moved here and there for a while, but when my face came closer to hers, seemingly having made up her mind, she closed her eyes and slightly pouted her lips.
As I felt my cheeks relax at her cute gesture, I moved my face even closer and our lips completely overlapped.
The softness of her lips, the warmth of her cheek transmitted to my handā¦ā¦ I could strongly feel that Iām kissing Lilia-san, and how should I say thisā¦ā¦ It was a moment filled with happiness.
It would have been alright to end it there, but the feeling was so pleasant that a desire to deepen the kiss further welled up within me.
Though I say that, I couldnāt just ignore Lilia-sanās intentions, so even though I didnāt know if it would work or not, while in the midst of our kiss, I lightly brushed her lips with my tongue to convey my intention.
Thereupon, after Lilia-sanās shoulders flinchedā¦ā¦ It was only a little bit, but she definitely opened her lips slightly and positioned herself to accept me.
In that case, I couldnāt hold back anymore, and driven by desire, I kissed Lilia-san even deeper for a long timeā¦ā¦ but after that, Lilia-san fainted, so it seems that she hadnāt done any image training as to what happens up to that point.
