Chapter 221 [Interlude]
We had come to the rooftop of the royal castle.
"It's beautiful..."
Looking down at the capital city from the rooftop, Mercury-san murmured.
The night view here is stunning. The lights from the magic tools gather together, making it look like a galaxy.
...But.
"It's beautiful..."
The most beautiful thing was Mercury-san's figure, illuminated by the lights of the capital city.
'You should say that.'
Eileen-san said. Oh no, is it okay to say something like a playboy?
'You should say it. If you don't, she won't know. Besides... any girl would feel happy if someone she likes tells her she's beautiful.'
I see... that's a good lesson!
"Mercury-san!"
"What?"
"It's beautiful!"
"Ah, really? The night view of the city..."
"No, I mean! Mercury-san is beautiful!"
I said it... How will she react?
I hope she doesn't think it's weird.
"......"
Mercury-san scratches her cheek.
"Mercury-san?"
"Um... really?"
Mercury-san looks up at me!
She seems a bit anxious, but it's cute...
"You're really beautiful, Mercury-san!"
"Is that really true...? Are you just flattering me?"
"Do you think I'm the type to flatter someone?"
"Not really. You're honestly straightforward, for better or worse."
"Yes!"
I didn't mind being called stupid.
From the way Mercury-san said it, I could feel some affection!
"Hehe... Leaf-kun, you really make me feel at ease when we're together."
"Really? But you always drink Elixir, right?"
"That's because of your behavior... Well, I've gotten used to it by now."
Mercury-san smiled at me.
I couldn't sense any lies from her. She really has gotten used to it...
She forgives my mistakes. She accepts me.
Such a kind and wonderful...
"Mercury-san. I..."
I...!
"I like you, Mercury-san!"
