Hearing the words Shiro-san just naturally said, Olivia-san stiffened, and from the expression on her face, I got the impression that her mind was unable to catch up with what had just been said.
After a little while, Olivia-sanās mind seemed to have finally caught up, and with an expression that was a mix of 60% confusion, 20% apologetic and 20% embarrassment, she timidly called out to Shiro-san.(Note: Japan and their contradictory word, Kyoushuku/ęēø® again. The 1st 20% mentioned there is Kyoushuku, which could either mean āapologizing for inconveniencing someoneā, āfeeling shameā or āexpressing gratitudeā. I usually translate this word based on context, but I canāt really do that in this sentence, so just keep in mind that Olivia may be feeling apologetic here, feeling ashamed or was quite thankful with Shiroās idea.)
[ā¦ā¦Ummm, Shallow Vernal-sama. May I have permission to speak?]
[My gratitudeā¦ā¦ Ummm, Iām very sorry to seem to disagree with Shallow Vernal-samaās words, but I swear that Miyama Kaito-sama and I arenāt in a romantic relationship. Iām humbly grateful for the friendship we have, but itās a friendship that is maintained with proper decorum, and there are no impure emotions involved.]
[Fumu. I understand. So youāre saying āyouāre making your approach hereafterā then.]
[ā¦ā¦Shallow Vernal-sama?]
This right here, Shiro-san fully exhibits her established reputation as a natural airhead. Sheās acting as if she understands whatās going on, but in reality, she doesnāt understand anything. Meanwhile, Olivia-san canāt knowingly deny Shiro-sanās opinions, so she seems to be at a loss as to how to explain herself, as she keeps on glancing at me, seemingly asking for help.
[Shiro-san, thatās not what she meant. Olivia-san was saying that she doesnāt have any kind of favorable feelings towards me at the moment. Of course, as a friend, she does have some level of affection towards meā¦ā¦ right?]
[Ahh, no, such a statement is something very difficult for me to agree withā¦ā¦ and I canāt tell falsehoods before Shallow Vernal-samaā¦ā¦ but, wellā¦ā¦ I- I do feel the emotion called bashfulnessā¦ā¦]
Arehh? I joined the conversation with the intention of assisting her, but Olivia-san just appeared even more troubled now than before. By her wording, I suppose I may have said something that wasnāt quite right.
Iām getting the feeling that the part about āany kind of favorable feelingsā was particularly mistaken. Assuming that Olivia-san has favorable feelings towards me, even if it canāt be called romantic feelings, itās not surprising that the earnest Olivia-san would consider agreeing with my words earlier to be an act of lying to Shiro-san.
[ā¦ā¦W- What should I do, agreeing is disrespectful, but denying it is also disrespectfulā¦ā¦ but keeping my silence before the two esteemed beings is also disrespectfulā¦ā¦ As expected, should I not now be severely punished for what I have done?]
[Letās talk over there for a while. Kaito-san, you stay here for a few minutes.]
Seemingly having the intention of speaking with Olivia-san alone, Shiro-sanās eyes somehow seemed to convey the thought āLeave it to meā.
Shallow Vernal, having moved to a position where they canāt be heard by Kaito, called out to the apologetic-looking Olivia.
[I wonāt deem your words disrespectful at this moment, so I give you permission to honestly speak your thoughts. Just to confirm, but you have some level of favorable feelings for Kaito-san, is that correct?]
[O- Of course, I do hold a favorable opinion of Kaito-san as a person, and I canāt deny that I personally rely on him to some extent. These days, when I am not praying, I often think about Miyama Kaito-sama, and disrespectful such thoughts may be, there are many times when I feel the desire to meet him, so even though I lose my composure a little in front of Miyama Kaito-sama, thatās really about it.]
[ā¦ā¦Isnāt that love already?]
Olivia is an extremely earnest person, so when Shallow Vernal declared that she was given permission to honestly speak her thoughts, Olivia expressed her feelings as she truly felt them.
As a matter of fact, when it comes to whether Olivia has positive feelings towards Kaitoā¦ā¦ She does have them. However, her lack of interpersonal experience makes it impossible for her to determine whether she is feeling admiration based on respect or sheās feeling romantic feelings prevailing over affection.
[I see, youāve had extremely limited opportunities to interact with others until now. Well, this isnāt something for me to say, but it seems like youāre still immature in matters of the heart.]
[It is as Shallow Vernal-sama says. I have no words to respond to it.]
[Well then, Olivia. I have one task for you.]
[It can be done at any time after the Founding Festival. You are to invite Kaito-san on a date. The content of your date is something you must think about, but other than that, there are no restrictions. This is a necessary step for you to understand emotions more deeply.]
[ā¦ā¦Y- Yesā¦ā¦ I shall entertain Miyama Kaito-samaā¦ā¦]
[You are to go on a date with him.]
Olivia was puzzled, but for her, Shallow Vernalās will was absolute. She isnāt sure if it was just her imagination or not, but even as she felt like her body temperature was rising a little bit, if Shallow Vernal ordered her to do something, she would just do it.
[Ahh, Iāll also tell you about the SUPER WIN SYSTEM and inform you about carrying over your memories.]
[ā¦ā¦SUPER WIN? I- I apologize for my ignorance. What in the world is thatā¦ā¦]
And just like that, after receiving a detailed expression from Shallow Vernal, Olivia, upon learning that this timelineās memories would be carried over to the original timeline, once again had an expression akin to a cat cast out into space.
Serious-senpai: [I- I hadnāt expected thisā¦ā¦ Not even this Serious-senpai Eyes had seen a scenario of Oliviaās date being confirmed while heās on a date with Shiroā¦ā¦]
