 And I knew.

 

 

“I didn’t want to love you enough for my heart to know the pain of losing you.” (Suela)

 

“Love…” (Jiro)

 

 

 Her heart

 

 What did she say right now?

 

 Does Suela like me?

 

 I’ve heard that the Dark Elves are an extremely loyal race.

 

 But I didn’t think she would turn her eyes toward me.

 

 I thought they were unreachable flowers.

 

 Oh, so that’s what this is about, Supervisor.

 

 You knew the cause of the problem, didn’t you?

 

 

“You are free to handle this at your own risk.” (Evia)

 

 

 It’s hard to understand.

 

 I’ve never heard of such incomprehensible words of support.

 

 “The rest is up to you.” (Jiro)

 

 That’s what the supervisor was trying to say.

 

 It’s the kind of support that kicks you in the back instead of pushing you, as expected of the supervisor.

 

 No matter what, she and I are the only ones here.

 

 It was wrong for me to do such an inappropriate thing as comforting her with words in the first place.

 

 It may be old-fashioned, but a man’s got to have guts.

 

 If you get hit, you lose.

 

 

“Mr. Jiro?” (Suela)

 

 

 I hugged her a little tighter.

 

 

“Please listen to me.” (Jiro)

 

 

 The hug made it impossible for me to see her face, but the close contact made it possible for me to convey my words to her.

 

 

“Thank you.” (Jiro)

 

“Eh?” (Suela)

 

 

 There is no need for Suela to feel responsible.

 

 And I hope that my heart will convey those words.

 

 

“Thank you for saving me.” (Jiro)

 

 

 I send my heartfelt gratitude.

 

 

“I, um.” (Suela)

 

 

 It’s impossible to ask me to say something unnaturally romantic.

 

 If I could, I would, but all I can do is blurt out honest words.

 

 This may not be like me, but for now, I followed my heart and hugged her.

 

 If I just thanked her, Suela would not stop blaming herself.

 

 So, I kissed Suela’s mouth quietly.

 

 And I want to tell her.

 

 I want to tell her, Suela, about the other feeling right inside me at this very moment.

 

 

“Thank you for loving me.” (Jiro)

 

 

 After a few seconds of kissing, I slowly say my words of gratitude.

 

 Suela, who blinks her eyes many times, is probably not catching up with her thoughts.

 

 So, I want her to know.

 

 

“‘Suela’ I love you.” (Jiro)

 

 

 It’s the first time I’ve called her name and told her how I feel.

 

 

“Eh? Ah, eh?” (Suela)

 

“Don’t you believe me?” (Jiro)

 

“Oh, that, I.” (Suela)

 

“I will wait until you’re ready.” (Jiro)

 

 

 To be honest, I’m pretty confused too.

 

 I may have been carried away in part, but my feelings for her are genuine.

 

 I don’t know how long I’ve been in love with her, but I told her on the spur of the moment.

 

 I think I’ve come to realize, or in this case, I’ve come to realize that this was not impossible, and I’m ready to pull to surface my buried feelings.

 

 I think I fell in love with her when I first met her and she encouraged me over and over again in an unfamiliar environment.

 

 It’s simple, but it’s something good for me.

 

 So we hugged each other and stayed like that until we both calmed down.

 

 Oh, the sound of my heart is so loud.

 

 

“Mr. Jiro.” (Suela)

 

“Are you calm?” (Jiro)

 

“Yes, um, it wasn’t a dream, was it?” (Suela)

 

 

 Suela, no, Suela was quicker to recover from that situation.

 

 

“Oh, it’s not a dream.” (Jiro)

 

“I can’t believe it.” (Suela)

 

“How can I make you believe me?” (Jiro)

 

“…once more.” (Suela)

 

“Hmm?” (Jiro)

 

“Say that once more please.” (Suela)

 

 

 I’m pretty nervous too, but I’ll see what I can do, at least for an encore if I get this far.

 

 I slowly pulled myself away and looked her firmly in the eyes.

 

 

“I love you Suela.” (Jiro)

 

“Yes, I also love you, Jiro.” (Suela)

 

 

 I felt the soft sensation again.

 

 Suela was afraid of losing me and was feeling guilty.

 

 When I woke up, she must have lost control of her emotions due to the mixture of relief and fear.

 

 Suela helped me let out what I was holding in.

 

 I love her for revealing her fear of losing something important that everyone wished to have, and I love her for showing me how to express that fear.

 

 Slowly, our lips parted, and I saw her face.

 

 She had a beautiful smile on her face, like a white flower blooming under the moonlight.

 

 I swear to that smile.

 

 I would be strong.

 

 I felt that the ground for the path to the top that I had been vaguely aiming for was now solidified.
