Staring at Isis-san, who was sitting next to me, with a serious expression on my face, Isis-san tilted her head in wonder.

  [……Something you want to tell?]

  [……Yes.]

  I should have been prepared for this already, but now that I’m right in front of her, I was still very nervous.

  I can hear my heartbeat, and even Isis-san’s quiet voice sounded awfully loud in my ears.

  Taking a deep breath and calming myself down…… So that I could firmly convey my thoughts, I spoke.

  [……Isis-san…… I love Kuro.]

  […..U- Unnn…… I know.]

  Hearing the first thing I said, Isis-san looked a little sad.

  This is probably because she remembered what I said about how monogamy is the norm in the world I lived in.

  Even if it was a necessary thing to say so that I could sincerely respond to Isis-san’s confession, seeing her sad was a bit heartbreaking but…… the actual climax has yet to come.

  [However…… I also l- love Isis-san. Of course, as a woman……]

  [……Eh?]

  [It might be unfaithful of me. I may be indecisive. But in my mind, Isis-san has become really big…… irreplaceable and lovable person.]

  [!? ]

  Hearing the words I said, Isis-san’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

  Her beautiful ruby-red eyes were intensely shaking.

  [……T- That’s a lie……. I mean…… I am…… a monst—— [ That doesn’t matter! ] ———-!?]

  Interrupting Isis-san’s words, who was about to say that she’s a monster clad in her magic power of death, I tightly gripped Isis-san’s hand.

  Hoping that these feelings will be conveyed to her, I moved her hand to the front of my chest, making her feel my heartbeat, and I continued speaking, with her hand still wrapped with both of my hands.

  [……It doesn’t matter to me if you’re clad in magic power of death or that you’re one of the Six Kings. I’ve fallen in love with the woman named Isis Remnant…… She who is caring, lovely and always cares for me with all her heart.]

  [……Ahh…… ahh……]

  [So, I want Isis-san to always have a happy smile on her face and be happy…… I may not be that dependable of a person, but I will definitely make Isis-san even happier than you already are! So…… Please go out with me!!!]

  [!?!? ]

  I said it…… I said my feelings and my love for Isis-san in words. All that’s left to do is wait for Isis-san’s response……


  Although it may look conceited of me, I know that Isis-san has feelings for me, but still, confessing to someone makes me feel helplessly nervous, and I can even hear my heart beating very clearly.

  When I was confessing to Kuro, I was acting recklessly before her power, so I didn’t have the composure to think…… but now, I feel so nervous that it feels as if my whole body is being pricked by needles.

  I finally understood what Ryze-san was saying about not feeling alive until I got a response.

  Hearing my confession, Isis-san’s eyes opened wide and she stiffened…… and a little while later, she began to shed large drops of tears from her eyes.

  [……This…… isn’t a dream…… right? …… For me…… For someone like me…… to feel…… such happiness……]

  [Isis-san…… I’ll say it once again. I love you…… Can I please hear your reply?]

  [……Yes…… I…… love Kaito too…… More than anyone…… More than anything…… Please let me…… stay by Kaito’s side…… from now on.]

  [Yes. With pleasure.]

  [ ~ ~!? Kaito!]

  [Uwaahhh!?]

  Hearing my words, tears of joy began to appear from Isis-san’s eyes before she vigorously jumped on me.

  Because it was a surprise attack and because I was weak, the momentum pushed me to fall on my back with Isis-san held in my embrace.

  With me on the bottom and Isis-san on top of me, Isis-san continues to cry as she clings all of her small body to me, as if to say that she doesn’t want to be apart from me even the slightest bit.

  [……Uuuu…… Uuuuu…… I’m happy…… This is the first time…… since I was born…… that I felt this much happiness.]

  [……Isis-san.]

  [……Kaito…… Kaito…… I love you…… I love you so much.]

  [I love you too, Isis-san.]

  Hearing Isis-san’s tear-filled voice, repeatedly telling her that she loves me, I hug her body a little tighter, feeling happy that I’ve told her my feelings.

  Thereupon, Isis-san responded to my movement and gently raised her face…… silently closing her eyes.

  Wiping away the shimmering tears on her beautiful cheeks with my finger, I put my hands on the back of Isis-san’s head and slowly pulled her face to mine.

  [……Hnnn.]

  As we feel the wind on the hill caress our cheeks, our shadows perfectly overlap…… sharing our feelings with each other…… and ending up losing track of time.

  As the pleasant breeze blows on the hilltop, I sit side by side with Isis-san, staring at the view.

  Isis-san is leaning her body against mine as if she’s fawning on me, her cheeks dyed red as she had a smile brimming with happiness, I hugged her shoulder, making me feel that I really love her.

  [……Is this alright? ……For me…… to feel…… such happiness.]

  [Of course, it’s alright. Besides, it’s not like this will be the end…… I will make you even happier than before. I’m sure of that……]

  [……Unnn…… If Kaito is by my side…… I will always…. be smiling…… I will be…… much more…… happier.]

  [Yes.]

  Murmuring in a gentle voice, Isis-san slowly ran her hands over my body before she tightly hugged me.

  As I feel happiness along with embarrassment from feeling the warmth of Isis-san’s entire body glued unto mine, Isis-san mutters in a gentle voice.

  [……However…… It will not…… be just me.]

  [……Eh?]

  [……I will also…… make Kaito happy…… I’ll make you won’t regret…… loving me…… I will do my best…… so that Kaito…… will love me even more.]

  [It’s not like I would ever regret it but…… Yes. Let’s bond with each other a lot more from now on.]

  [……Unnn.]

  It took a long time from the time Isis-san confessed to me until today…… and I’ve made her wait.

  However, because I’ve taken my time and slowly thought about it…… I think I’ve made a firm decision.

  I won’t let go of Isis-san anymore…… And of course, I also won’t let Kuro go……


  I love both of them, and even though I think the answer I gave them was such an indecisive one…… I feel that it was a gentle answer filled with happiness.

  [……Ahh, speaking of which, we were in the middle of our meal huh.]

  [……Ahh…… Unnn…… Kaito…… Let’s eat.]

  [Yes.]

  [……Can you…… come visit…… my home again?]

  [Of course, or rather, don’t you think I might go there rather often instead?]

  [……Fufu…… Unnn…… Come…… more often.]

  Embracing my arm, Isis-san let out a happy smile.

  I strongly vowed, along with the love that swelled within my heart, that I would never let her smile disappear.

  [……Kaito.]

  [Yes?]

  [……I loooovveee you!]

  Dear Mom, Dad—– It took me a long time to get to this point, but I was able to tell Isis-san about my feelings for her, and we became lovers. I think a smile really looks great on Isis-san, and seeing her smile makes me feel happy. That’s why, from now on——- I want to protect the smile on her face.
