Chapter 11: TS Girl Chrome and Her Childhood Friend Elecia Lovelibert (Part 3) End

TS Girl Chrome and Her Childhood Friend Elecia Lovelibert (Part 3)

My once in a lifetime confession.　

After hearing my pure feelings poured out to her, Chrome looked as if she understood everything.　

"..."

"..."

"Elecia"

"Y-Yes."　

After staring at each other in silence for a while, she slowly began to speak.　

"...I love you too, Elecia."　

Chrome spoke slowly, her expression unchanged.　

The words that came out of her mouth were words of kindness towards me.　

"..."　

Chrome, the woman I love, told me she loved me. Normally, that would be something to be very happy about.　

But that's not the case.

The "love" she speaks of is surely different from my "love."　

With just one word from her I understood.

I'm more sensitive to other people's emotions than most people. So I understand. I get it.　

"But--"

"Chrome"

"What?"

"That 'love', your 'love' is surely... 'love' as a friend, right?"

"……Yeah"　

Oh, I see. That's right.

Of course. Just because you love someone that much doesn't mean they do too.

That was something that was obvious to me.　

My emotions were high and I got my hopes up.

Somewhere in my heart, I hoped that Chrome would be the same.　

"Ah, yeah, that's right, that's true. Sorry for suddenly pushing you down."

"Elecia..."

"Sorry for the suddenness, you must be scared."　

I sit up and quickly moved away from her.　

Ah, what am I doing now?

I didn't mean to do this at first, but I got carried away by the atmosphere and ended up doing something that can't be undone.　

...It's no good, my chest feels tight. My face feels really hot.

My head is a mess.　

Okay, calm down, I'm calm down.　

"Yeah, Chrome and I are friends. Uh, yeah, that's right."

"Elecia, I ...."

"Haha, I'm such an idiot. I'm sorry, but I know it'll be difficult to forget about what happened today, so, hmm, I'd be happy if you could try not to worry about it as much as possible."　

I hold back the tears that threaten to spill from my eyes and try to keep my voice as normal as possible.

If I let my guard down even a little, my voice will start to tremble, but I have to hold on.　

If I were to show tears here, Chrome would probably get nervous because she's such a kind person.

Today, I just went out of control and destroyed myself. I don't mind if I take damage, but I don't want to cause any trouble for Chrome.　

That's why I try to act as usual. I want she to think that what happened today was just a moment of indecision.

My emotions had gotten out of control and I'd scared her for no reason, so if I caused any more trouble for Chrome, it wouldn't be surprising if she lost patience with me.　

"Um, Chrome. Um, I'm not in the mood to talk right now, so maybe we can continue tomorrow. Um, sorry for being so selfish. But, I'd like to get some sleep and calm my head. Ah, no, it's not that I'm shocked or anything, but, you know, it's probably difficult for Chrome to talk after this conversation, so let's leave it for today--"

"Elecia!"

"--!"　

As I was busily pacing the mood and talking quickly to hide my emotions, Chrome suddenly grabbed me by the arm.

It was so sudden that my thoughts stopped for a moment.

And in that moment, I relaxed, and a few tears fell from my eyes.　

"Ah... I, well..."

"Listen to the end, Elecia. I didn't come here today because I wanted you to make that face."

Chrome spoke to me with an unusually serious look in her eyes.

She was staring intently at me with a dignified expression that was completely unthinkable from the usual Chrome.　

"I'll tell you my honest feelings now, Elecia."

"Uh, yeah....?"

"It's true that I've never felt anything more than friendship for Elecia."　

Chrome's serious expression as she gazed at me was cuter than usual, yet still beautiful.　

Although I had been emotionally exhausted and even crying just a moment ago, all of that suddenly disappeared from my mind and I found myself captivated by her.　

"But I think that's because I haven't really approached Elecia up until now."

"Um, so..."

"I arbitrarily considered Elecia sacred, arbitrarily built walls around you, and arbitrarily decided that you were a resident of another world different from me. I arbitrarily thought that I wasn't worthy of Elecia, that you shouldn't be with me."

"..."

"But today I realized that it was different. Elecia is a real person, she worries and hurts just like everyone else, she has human desires, and she cares about me deeply. When I realized that, I realized how rude I'd been to Elecia up until then."　

Her voice began to tremble as she spoke quickly.

Chrome desperately tried to speak, her voice sounding as if she couldn't forgive herself.　

Her desperate and brave appearance makes me want to hug her.

I want to hug her and tell her, "Chrome isn't bad."　

But I felt like if I said that now, it would ruin all of her resolve.

All I could do was listen to her words in silence.　

"So, Elecia."

"……Yeah"

"I want to know more about Elecia. Not the false image I had of you, but the real you. Your likes, your weaknesses, and your true personality."

"..."

"So, I want to answer your confession later. I want to give my answer after getting to know you properly. I don't want to answer your confession with the walls that have been built up between us up until now."

"……"

"It's very selfish and self-centered, but... I guess it's no good....haha."　

……ah!

Chrome has always been so honest and kind.　

No one would get angry if she answered based on how she feel now, and in fact it would be normal for that to happen, but she arbitrarily blame herself for what she thinks are her shortcomings, without blaming or trying to hurt the other person because she herself was lacking in some way.

She don't try to evade or gloss over my feelings, but simply try to respond to my feelings with all her might.　

There are many good things about her.

I guess I was attracted to her awkward sincerity.　

"Okay."

"Eh?"　

I gently took Chrome's hand, who had a serious expression on her face, and pulled her close.　

It's no good anymore.

I don't think I can bear my love for her any longer.　

"I'll do my best."

"Ele...cia?"

"So that Chrome will love me from the bottom of her heart. So that I can be the most important person to her. So that Chrome will say, 'I love you too.'"

That Chrome cared about me that much.

For always worrying about me.

She tried to respond to my wishes as much as possible.　

All of these experiences make me truly happy, and my love for her is overflowing.　

"I'll do my best. I'll try my best and make Chrome fall in love with me."

"...If that happens, I might be the one who confess to you."

"……Yeah"　

I'm glad Chrome is my childhood friend.

It was good to know that Chrome cared about me so much.

I'm glad that the person I fell in love with was Chrome.

I am so blessed, I must be the happiest person in the world.　

"Chrome."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"Hahaha, I know."

Even if it means that Chrome ends up rejecting me.

I'm sure I'll never forget this day.　

Because I'm so happy right now.　

"Okay then, let's sleep together tonight."

"Eh?"

"Now that my feelings have been revealed, I'm not going to hold back any longer. From now on, I'm going to pour all my love into Chrome with all my might."

"Ehh?"　

For now, I no longer have to hide my love for Chrome.　

If so, I won't put up with it anymore.

I'll do my best to get her to like me, but more than that, I'm going to be open about all the desires and wishes that have been building up inside me.

Chrome said the same thing. She wanted to know my likes, dislikes, and true personality.　

"Can you use my pajamas? Or should I go back and get some?"

"Um, wait, Elecia?"

"What?"

"Well, um, well... I think it's still too early for us to sleep together."

"It's okay, it's okay, sleeping together is just the beginning."

There's so much I want to do with Chrome.　

I've been holding back my feelings because I haven't expressed them until now, but I don't have to hold them back anymore.

I really want Chrome to be prepared. My love for her is not something that can be easily taken lightly.　

"Um, well...yeah."

"Yeah?"

"Um... please be gentle..."

"Fufu, I'll do my best."　

...Ah, really.

I love you, Chrome.

"...Come to think of it..."

"What's wrong, can't you sleep?"

"Ah, no."

"Are you going to hug me after all?"

"No... there was a book drawn by Elecia."

"Uh... if possible, please don't talk about that..."

"Among those, the one with me as the motif was probably the more aggressive one."

"Uh, yeah."

"So, Elecia is actually the type who likes to be attacked?"

"...Umm, well, well, um, yeah... I'm more of the type that wants to be desired rather than wanting to desire..."

"Hmm..."

"Ah, no, but at least I'm happy just having Chrome by my side, so it's not like I want it to be that way or that it has to be that way."

"--I love you, Elecia. Please stay by my side forever."

"--!?"

"Like that?"

"Ugh ...It's... unfair..."

Bonus character introductions (no problem if you don't read them):

Elecia: The third daughter of the prestigious and noble Lovelibert family. A genius gifted with both literary and martial arts skills and both beauty and intelligence, she is said to be a once-in-a-decade genius. However, because of her gifted talent and straightforward personality, she has often been the target of jealousy from the nobles around her since childhood. Though she never shows it, this has led to a slight distrust of people. However, once she opens up to someone, her love for them is somewhat intense.

Chrome: The only daughter of the prestigious and noble Alreo family. She is generally shy and socially awkward. Because she always sticks close to Elecia, the other nobles treat her like her lackey. In fact, due to her status as the only daughter of the Alleo family and her cute, small-animal appearance, she is secretly popular among young nobles. Young nobles with lewd desires sometimes try to approach her, but Elecia always defeats them

I'll leave it to your imagination to decide what ultimately happens to these two.
