Chapter 22: Solution Plan Presentation
“……………………”
Time passed, although not too long nor particularly short.
Katase had still buried her face into my chest. But she seemed a bit calmer now. She’s so quiet that it made me think that she might have fallen asleep.
“…Are you feeling a little better now?”
As I asked softly, she gave a small nod.
That’s good then, I thought, as I loosened my arms around her.
“So, now about the plan on how we’re going to help you, Katase… it’s a bit hard to discuss like this, so… could you separate from me for a bit?”
I tried to say it gently, without pushing her too hard, but I was immediately denied by her head shaking horizontally.
Till a moment ago, I was all about trying to comfort Katase, so it was fine. But now that I’ve done that, I’m feeling so embarrassed that I can die actually!
This is totally one of those “Oh, so you’re equally nervous too? Your heart, it’s pounding like crazy!” kind of situations right, isn’t it?
I mean, even I get it you know. The fact this isn’t some enviable romantic comedy scene that is.
But since I got caught up in the moment, I can’t worry about it anymore. Until just now, I was in some kind of manic state. Kind of like a ‘zone’ Or something that athlete or sports players go into.
However, now that I’m back to my usual self, given the awkward and unsure Kazari Oga I am, the backlash of all those unfamiliar actions now hit me back hard.
…Calm down, calm down me. If I push her right away and she ends up saying, “Oh ok, then you don’t need to help me after all,” then it would all end up tedious once again, right? Katase first, priority number one, Katase First, that’s crucial Always remember!
Now that. that’s that, let’s quickly get to the main point, explain things fast, and then wrap myself up from here as fast as possible!
From here on I will have to present it perfectly! Thinking that, I cleared my throat conspicuously, ready to dive in.
“Alright… then just listen to me like this then.”
Katase nodded eagerly. For a moment, it looked like she was messing around with me, but that’s probably just my shallow perception projective forwards I suppose.
She was definitely messing with me, she feels almost amused. But now’s not the time for that to matter. I’ll just pretended my eyes were just hollow sockets —–now then, let’s move on and present the solution I’ve thought for her.
“From now what I’m about to say you, isn’t a joke by all means. Keep that in your mind, that, from now on, what you will be listening to is —Katase, I’m going to ‘confess my love’ to you.”
