“The autumn leaves are beautiful, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they are. They’ve turned completely red.”
This is a small park I found while exploring the area around my room. The maple and ginkgo trees make me feel the colors of autumn at its peak.
It’s not quite autumn leaf viewing, but on my day off, I invited Towa san to come with me.
It’s not big enough to walk around, so we spread out a sheet in a nice spot.
I guess you could call it a simple picnic.
While admiring the beautiful autumn leaves, I enjoyed the bento box Towa san had prepared. It was so delicious it defies words—though to be honest, the scenery didn’t even register. Eating with my cute girlfriend by my side is always the most delicious meal in the world, so it didn’t matter.
“Itsuki san, here.”
“Eh?”
Towa san pointed to her own cheek with her finger. I touched my own cheek, but there was nothing there.
“Over here. Lick.”
“Ugh !?”
Eien came over and licked my cheek. My body tingled and my face grew hot.
“I ate the bento.”
“Y-yes…t-thank you…”
I felt oddly embarrassed and shrunk back.
“Phew.”
After eating, we drank warm tea and relaxed.
“Itsuki san.”
“What?”
“Do you really like my breasts, Itsuki san?”
“—Buh !?”
I spit out my tea. I hurriedly covered my mouth, and Towa san wiped it for me.
“W-what are you suddenly talking about….!?”
“I want to know.”
“You want to know….?”
“What parts of me do you like? Why did you fall in love with me? If I could know that…”
Towa san’s face was slightly flushed, and her silvery hair swayed gently.
“I think I can become someone who can be loved even more by Itsuki san.”
She looked at me, and she was undeniably beautiful and adorable.
“So please tell me. When, where, why, and how did Itsuki san fall in love with me?”
Towa san leaned in close with earnest eyes and asked with a upward glance.
“E-erm……”
What is this? Trying to talk about it again makes me feel incredibly embarrassed.
“Well, I’ve been interested in you since the night we first met.”
“My breasts?”
“No, it’s not that…!”
“It’s not?”
“W-well…..it’s not exactly that…”
Thanks to being enveloped by those large breasts, I was able to let go.
If I hadn’t spent the night with Towa san back then, I would probably still be dragging my past with me…
“More than that, I feel like Towa san saved me.”
“…That’s my line. You saved my life.”
“I was in a similar situation.”
“I…..see.”
Towa san smiled softly and nodded.
Seeing that, I finally relaxed and began to speak fluently. I had been thinking about this for a long time, so once I started talking, I couldn’t stop.
“Then, Towa san became my maid, and we spent many nights together, and it felt like the gaps in my heart were being filled. When I first met Towa san, I felt like she taught me something important, and I thought she was a mature woman I could respect. But even Towa san has things she’s not good at, and the gap between the perfect maid and the mature Towa san was irresistibly cute. Towa san playing games was also very cute, and her earnestness made me feel like I saw her true nature.”
Even though we haven’t spent much time together yet, memories keep flooding back.
Not a single one will be forgotten.
“And the day I fully realized my feelings was when we drank together. We went to a hotel for the first time, kissed, and I knew I was hopelessly in love with Towa san,”
That night was a turning point, and with Sakamaki’s help, I was able to make up my mind to confess my feelings.
“That’s my story. Was it helpful?”
“Yes, very much so.”
Towa san naturally intertwined her fingers with mine. Then she smiled.
“I feel the same way.”
“Eh?”
“Ever since you spoke to me, I’ve been drawn to you. Every time we were together, my heart felt more fulfilled than ever before. I’m supposed to be the perfect maid, but I couldn’t help showing my weaknesses to you, getting absorbed in games, and having fun. I was so happy when you saved me from being hit on. My heart wouldn’t stop racing. I even kissed you impulsively. In that moment, I was just Towa, the snow-white maiden.”
Towa san speaks slowly, revealing her hidden feelings.
What is this?
My heart is tingling uncontrollably. If I let my guard down even a little, the corners of my lips will curl up, and I’ll end up smiling.
“…..I was trying not to notice it. I must have locked my heart away.”
“Towa san…”
“But you made my heart fall. Since then, my feelings for you have been overflowing and won’t stop.”
Towa san’s hand tightens around mine. It feels gentle and warm.
“I’m completely head over heels for you, Itsuki san.”
That was the limit.
“〜〜〜〜”
I quickly cover my mouth and turn away.
“Itsuki san? What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing, I’m sorry.”
“…? Is something wrong with your mouth? Let me see.”
“D-don’t worry. I’m fine !”
I twist my body as if to escape.
“It’s just that I’m so happy. I just can’t show you my face right now…..!”
“Happy? Itsuki san?”
Towa san stares blankly.
“I want to see it. Let me see.”
“No way ! It’s embarrassing !”
I turned my body around and faced away from her.
“Anyway, what about you, Towa san !?”
“What do you mean?”
“Aren’t you embarrassed !? I think we’ve been talking about some pretty embarrassing things, like how we met and stuff…!?”
“Eh, well, that’s….maybe…so…”
Towa san responds slowly, as if deep in thought. Her words grow fainter and fainter, and by the end, they’re almost inaudible.
Then, silence falls.
“….Towa san?”
I turn around, a little worried.
“D-don’t look !”
“Whoa !?”
A small hand blocks my view.
“Hey, Towa san !? What’s going on !? What’s wrong !?”
“No, don’t……”
Through the gaps between her fingers, I could see Towa san shaking her silver hair and averting her face.
“I’m making a really weird face right now…………
Her face was dyed a vibrant red, more beautiful than autumn leaves—
“…Towa san, you’re so cute.”
I couldn’t help but mutter that to myself.
After that, Towa san blushed even more and shrunk back.
