Chapter 2148: Founder's Reflections - Part 1

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

While Kaori was writhing in embarrassment over hugging Kaito and all the other moments of shame she had been putting off, Olivia was quietly offering prayers after changing into the robes of the High Priest in the grand cathedrals chamber.

Bathed in the moonlight streaming through the high windows of the dimly lit sanctuary, she presented a truly mystical figure worthy of being called a saint.

(Thanks to Miyama Kaito-sama, today was a truly wonderful day, but there are also many points for reflection. There were moments where I was able to act according to my pre-planned course of action, but there were also many instances where I was caught off guard and ended up revealing my own incompetence. If it were merely a case of the difference between expectation and reality, that would still be acceptable. After all, I have learned through Miyama Kaito-samas guidance that knowing something in theory and experiencing it firsthand are two entirely different things. However, being completely thrown off by something I had not even considered beforehand can only be attributed to my own lack of foresight. I must acknowledge the immaturity of my imagination and work on reflecting and improving myself)

Perhaps it was because of her extremely earnest nature- Olivia, still in a posture of prayer, was reviewing the days events and analyzing her areas for improvement.

This was something she had originally scheduled for after the date: to thoroughly reflect on the days events and consider how to improve in the future before transitioning into a prayer of gratitude for Kaito.

(First, regarding the initial shopping trip, as per Mizuhara Kaoris suggestion, I had already decided to follow Miyama Kaito-samas guidance. In that regard, there were no notable issues. As expected of Miyama Kaito-sama his choice of stores was impeccable, and his reliability was so admirable that I couldnt help but be captivated. I was even granted the honor of walking hand in hand with him. For such boundless kindness, as vast as the sky and as deep as the sea, I must offer my gratitude.)

When it came to the window shopping guided by Kaito in the morning, Olivia had absolutely no complaints. Even now, as she recalled it, her heart overflowed with admiration for him.

Well, considering Olivias devout faith and overwhelming affection for Kaito, it was never likely that she would have any dissatisfaction with his choice of stores in the first place

(As for the lunch that followed, while I was able to carry out the planned actions, I also became painfully aware of my own lack of foresight. Given how kind Miyama Kaito-sama is, I should have anticipated that he would reciprocate by feeding me in return. My strong inclination to serve and devote myself to Miyama Kaito-sama led me to overlook the possibility of receiving something from him. That was a mistake. Of course, my duty is to serve, but Miyama Kaito-samas wishes must also be considered, and imposing my assumptions is incorrect However, when he accepted and ate the food I had offered, the happiness I felt was indescribable. I was truly fulfilled in the act of serving Miyama Kaito-sama I want to do it again Hah?! H- How disgraceful! This is not the time to be thinking about such things!!!)

As she recalled her exchange with Kaito in the restaurant, Olivia momentarily smiled blissfully only to quickly compose herself and refocus her thoughts.

(Regarding the theater afterward, I ended up interlocking our fingers while holding hands- something that was not originally planned. Though it was a spontaneous decision, I was able to execute it relatively well or so I foolishly thought. In truth, it was entirely thanks to Miyama Kaito-sama, who saw through my and Mizuhara Kaoris conversation and, in his boundless mercy, adapted his actions to accommodate ours. Any success was entirely due to him, and all credit belongs to Miyama Kaito-sama. No, in fact, I would not be exaggerating to say that the joy of today was entirely thanks to Miyama Kaito-sama.)

If Kaito himself were present, he would have undoubtedly called that an exaggeration, but since there was no one that would retort, Olivia continued her thoughts, her unwavering devotion pushing her ever forward.

(Interlocking our fingers while holding hands was a profound reminder of the difference between theoretical knowledge and actual experience. I had thought it was merely a different way of holding hands how foolish of me. I never imagined that intertwining our fingers would create such an intense sense of closeness. The warmth of being enveloped in Miyama Kaito-samas large hand was one thing, but more than that, the deep connection I felt with him brought me immense joy. And above all, how truly honored I was to have Miyama Kaito-sama permit such an act Not only did he accommodate my sudden whim, but he also, in his boundless mercy, allowed an action that, under different circumstances, could have been deemed disrespectful. His kindness echoes across the heavens, and when the theater lights illuminated his profile at that moment, I felt as though I had witnessed the essence of art itself. My hearts understanding of beauty expanded in that instant.)

Ultimately, whether it was because of her overwhelming love for Kaito or not, Olivias original goal had been to reflect on the day and identify areas for improvement However, no matter how hard she tried, her heart quickly became flooded with adoration for Kaito.

And so, for a while longer, Olivia remained lost in her endless internal praises of him.

Serious-senpai : [Well, when it comes to Olivia, shes not even trying to hide her overwhelming I love Kaito aura or rather, she has no intention of hiding it at all. As always, her heart is overflowing with praises for him.]

Makina : [She really gets it. I wish the other lumps of flesh would take a page from Olivias book and always be filled with gratitude for my beloved child.]
