Chapter 222 [Interlude]
...I finally said it. I told Mercury-san that I like her!
W-What will happen now...?
"Is it okay? With me...?"
Mercury-san looks at me with teary eyes.
I'm relieved that she doesn't seem to be rejecting me. But still, Mercury-san looks a bit anxious.
"I... don't have a power as amazing as yours."
"That's not true!"
"Really?"
"Yes! Mercury-san is amazing!"
"Really?"
"Yes, your tsukkomi skills are great!"
"Is that all? What else?"
What else...?
"Kind, cute, beautiful."
"Ah..."
"And..."
"Okay, okay, that's enough! Stop flattering me!"
Mercury-san sighs.
"But... is it really okay with me? There are many people who like you, like Eileen and Priscilla."
"Priscilla-san is, well, family to me."
Right now, I'm an adopted child in Priscilla-san's family.
"Eileen-san is just a friend."
"I see..."
"The only one I like as a girl is Mercury-san! I... I like you!"
Mercury-san closes her eyes for a moment.
Tears start to fall from the corners of her eyes.
"A-Are you okay, Mercury-san!? Does your stomach hurt!?"
Then Mercury-san approaches me with a wry smile.
"No, that's not it. Really..."
My shoulder is touched by a hand.
"You really are a strange kid, you know?"
"Everyone says that!"
"Yeah... but you're a kind kid. Really... I like you, you know, for being so kind."
!?
"Then, um...!"
"Yeah. I like you too. I want us to go out, okay?"
Wow!
Waaaaaaah!
'''YESSSSSSS!'''
In my head, I can hear Granny and Tai-chan's voices.
'Congratulations, Leaf-chan!'
'Well done, my grandson! Now Leaf-chan is part of the family and become real grandson!'
Granny and the others cheer loudly!
'...Congratulations, Leaf-sama.'
'Well, I knew this would happen, didn't I?'
Eileen and Tai-chan are celebrating too!
I'm so happy!
"Ah... from now on, it's going to be tough. I have to take care of this kid for life."
Saying that, Mercury-san was smiling.
She doesn't seem to mind at all!
"Hey, Leaf-kun... now that we're lovers, um, you know..."
Mercury-san has a sad-looking face.
Huh?
"What is it?"
"Y-you already know, right?"
"Huh?"
"Ah, come on!"
Saying that, Mercury-san pulls me close and...
Then, she kissed me.
W-whoa, oh wow, it's soft... it smells nice...
Suddenly, Mercury-san pulls her face away.
"Next time, you do it first, okay?"
"Y-yes!"
And so...
Mercury-san and I officially became a couple.
