Chapter 2021: Park Date 15
Illness-san, with a genuinely heartful joy in her smile, moved her hair aside and put on the necklace I had given her.
Naturally, I chose a rose design...... It looks like a rose, right? I worked pretty hard on it, and from my perspective, it definitely looks like a rose. But, how's the quality?
[How is iiiiiiit?]
[It suits you very well. Since Illness-san tends to wear clothes with slightly darker tones, the light pink of the rose quartz adds a nice accent and really draws attention. However, what I'm personally worried about...... I made this with the intention of it being a rose, but since I'm an amateur, how does it look to you, Illness-san? Does it seem strange?]
[I have never seen such an accessory as beautiful as this befooooore. Without any exaggeratiooooons, I genuinely think sooooo. As Kaito-sama may knooooow, I usually don't wear such accessoriiiiiies.]
[Ah, now that you mention it, you’ve worn things like ribbons or ties that looked like roses, but as for actual accessories, I certainly don’t recall seeing you wear any.]
Illness-san often arranges the ribbons on her maid outfit’s apron dress to resemble a rose, and her necktie also has a rose design. But it's true that I've never seen her wear actual accessories.
Illness-san has a stylish sense even in her casual clothes, so it wouldn't be surprising for her to wear bracelets or necklaces, but at least from what I've seen, she hasn’t worn any.
[Hearing you say you're that happy makes it worthwhile for me too.]
That's why, even as I was feeling a little nervous, I placed my hand gently on Illness-san’s shoulder as she looked up at me, and due to the height difference, I slightly crouched down.
Thereupon, as she closed her eyes, I leaned in and softly pressed my lips to hers. The sensation was moist, soft, and somehow sweet, as if our lips were gently drawn together, creating a sensation that was incredibly pleasant.
As I was lost in thought, Illness-san's hand slid smoothly behind my neck, and she clung to me, pressing her lips against mine with even more intensity than before.
I was a bit surprised, but even more than that, I could feel her deep affection flowing through the touch of her lips. The sensation was irresistibly comforting, and with Illness-san being so assertive, we continued kissing for a while, completely losing track of time.

Serious-senpai (Soul): [......No problem...... It's just a fatal wound.]
? ? ? : [......A fatal wound? I mean, if you're out of your body, you're pretty much dead, right......? Also, about this empty shell of a body...... Well, if we pour some maple syrup on it, you'll eventually heal up.]
Serious-senpai (Soul): [......Why are you decorating my body with sweet stuff!?]
