Help! My Overprotective S-Rank Master Who Loves Me Too Much Won't Let Me Go on Quests! - Chapter 55: I Became Aria-san\'s Lover!

Chapter 55: I Became Aria-san’s Lover!

“A life partner…!? I’m sorry if I’m wrong, but does that mean… a relationship where we stay together as a man and woman, loving each other forever…?”

“Yes, that’s right… I want to love you more, Adin-kun.”

Aria-san was saying something incredibly important, but she looked directly at me and smiled gently.

…I was shocked by her confession, but as I processed the words, I gathered my thoughts and spoke.

“I’m really happy that you feel that way, Aria-san, and… my first love, when I was four, was the white-haired girl… Aria-san. So, it makes me very happy that I could have that kind of relationship with you. But… I want to ask you to wait just a little longer. I don’t need to be as strong as you, but I want to become an S-rank adventurer before…”

“That’s not it, Adin-kun… This isn’t the time for that kind of talk.”

“…Huh?”

“I’m telling you that I want to love you, so the only thing that matters now is… whether you want to love me too.”

“Whether I want to love you, Aria-san…”

If I love Aria-san, I wonder what kind of expression she’ll make… She’s always so bright and cheerful, but would she show a different smile, a happy face, a side of her I’ve never seen before?

Whatever it is… I want to see more of Aria-san. If there’s a side of her I haven’t seen yet, I want to see it.

I want to know everything about Aria-san.

I want to love Aria-san and make her happy… So, I…

“I want to love you.”

When I answered, Aria-san’s eyes sparkled, and she hugged me tightly.

Then, she said loudly.

“I love you too, Adin-kun! I want to love you…! I won’t leave you anymore… This time, for sure! We’ll be together forever!”

“Yes, forever together.”

I answered, and we held each other, confirming our love for a while.

…Until now, this would have been where it ended, but while still holding me, Aria-san spoke with a slightly sultry voice.

“…Adin-kun, don’t you feel like something’s missing?”

“Something missing?”

“Yeah… I feel like my lips are lonely.”

“R… Really?”

I’ve always focused on becoming stronger, so I’ve never been good with matters like these, but I at least know that lovers sometimes kiss each other.

“I know I’m three years older than you, Adin-kun, and I think it’s cute that you’re a little clueless about these things, so I’ll take the lead… Close your eyes.”

“…No.”

“Eh!? We were having such a good moment, why not now!?”

Just a moment ago, the room was filled with a sweet atmosphere, but when Aria-san shouted in surprise, the usual atmosphere returned.

“Why not… I don’t want to close my eyes and miss the first precious memory with you, Aria-san.”

“W-well…! You really wouldn’t let me complain when you say something like that… Ugh! I wanted to grumble a little since you rejected me, but now I can’t say anything because of that reason! You idiot, Adin-kun!”

“S-sorry…”

“…But, I guess that just means you’re trying to cherish our time together… Well then, Adin-kun, you can keep your eyes open, but I want you to feel my love, okay?”

“…Yes.”

After that, Aria-san and I shared our first kiss.

It was something that could never have happened while we were still in a teacher-student relationship… But with that kiss, I could feel more of Aria-san’s warm love, and I also felt that I wanted to love her and make her happy. That feeling was carried through our kiss…

For a while, we continued to kiss each other.
