Chapter 2149: Founder's Reflections - Part 2

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

Olivia was reflecting on her day in a prayer posture, but when she recalled what happened after watching the play at the theater, her expression twisted. The events following the performance were, without a doubt, the biggest point of reflection for her this time.

(Even now, just remembering the disgrace I showed after the play makes me want to bury my head in my hands. I intertwined my fingers with Miyama Kaito-samas and held hands with him. Watching a play I could project myself onto filled me with so much happiness that I became completely dazed, responding vaguely to his calls, and and M- Miyama Kaito-sama H- H- H- He embraced me)

At first, Olivias face contorted with anger and regret over her own lack of composure. But as she recalled what happened next, her face grew redder and redder.

If she had only been embraced, she might have simply felt guilt over troubling Kaito due to her immaturity. However, in that moment, Olivia had mistaken the sudden situation for a dream and, before she knew it, had acted spoiled toward Kaito an unbearably mortifying disgrace in her eyes.

(Aaaahhh W- What foolishness have I done!? Just remembering it now fills me with despair over my own shamelessness! Making Miyama Kaito-sama go through all that was already an unforgivable crime, but on top of that, I clung to him myself and r- rubbed my cheek against him such a lewd and disgraceful act wouldnt that make me no better than a wanton woman!? Acting as if I were in heat, an utterly pathetic and foolish display I feel the urgent need to cleanse my folly through ascetic training, but b- but first, I must reflect. My punishment will come after I have reviewed everything.)

Of course, neither Kaito nor Kaori, who had been present at the time, thought of Olivias actions as disgraceful or inappropriate In fact, with Olivias usual earnestness and pure-hearted demeanor, no one would have found her behavior obscene.

However, for Olivia, who would blush even at the slightest exposure of skin, what she had done was so embarrassing that she felt like her face would burst into flames.

(A- Anyway, if I dwell on this too much, I might be crushed by my own shame and stupidity, so lets move on. At the cafe we visited afterward, everything went as planned, and there were no major unexpected developments. If I think about it that way, I might think things were acceptable, but I do need to reflect on the fact that I underestimated the greatness of Miyama Kaito-sama. It should have been obvious that someone as wise as him, with a gaze that sees all, would easily see through my small-minded thoughts and yet I foolishly forgot something so fundamental.)

Had she voiced this thought directly to Kaito, he would have surely interjected to deny it. Unfortunately, she was alone in the prayer room, lost in thought, with no one to offer such a rebuttal.

As she continued reflecting, she recalled what had happened on the boat and on the way to the hilltop park and her face turned so red that it seemed steam might start rising from her head.

(J- Just thinking about all that is making my face feel like its boiling. There are far too many things to reflect on. Indeed, this must be the trial bestowed upon me by the great Shallow Vernal-sama a test that teaches me that things do not go exactly as I wish. But now that I think about it in a way, I have fulfilled the trial given to me by Shallow Vernal-sama. Of course, it was far from perfect, and next time, I intend to invite Miyama Kaito-sama with a flawless plan and complete our date successfully but is there perhaps a next stage? No, I still lack the wisdom to fully comprehend the deep and noble will of Shallow Vernal-sama, but through this experience, I can feel my own growth. In that case, should I consider advancing to the next step? But what exactly is the next step?)

The entire ordeal had begun as an order from Shallow Vernal. While Olivia did not feel she had achieved a perfect outcome, she believed she had at least carried out the command.

Recognizing this as a trial given to her for personal growth, she pondered what she should do to continue evolving.

And just at that moment, Shallow Vernals voice echoed in her mind.

(Speaking of which, I hadnt considered what comes next. So, Ive decided just now.)

(S- Shallow Vernal-sama!? Ah! Please, command me as you wish. Though I am still inexperienced, I will surely overcome any trial you set before me!)

(Trial? No, this isnt really a trial but lets see. Next, at any time you set, go to the beach with Kaito-san and have a date with him. Just like I had done with him before.)

(W- What!? To be allowed to follow in Shallow Vernal-samas footsteps, even in a small way, is the greatest honor. I will most certainly carry out this command!)

(Good. Oh, and since its the beach, of course, make sure to wear a swimsuit.)

(P- Please forgive my rudeness in asking this question. Um, does this mean only Miyama Kaito-sama will wear a swimsuit while I assist him to ensure his comfort or um)

(You will also wear a swimsuit and enjoy the beach together with Kaito-san. Just like I had done with him.)

(.Y- Yesh.)

Once again, it must be emphasized Olivia was someone who found even the slightest exposure of skin to be unbearably embarrassing And so, a new ordeal was about to begin for her.

Serious-senpai : [Airhead God!? What kind of outrageous killer pass are you making!?]

? ? ? : [Well, she did say at any time you set, and knowing Olivia-sans personality, itll take her some time to make up her mind. So, that would still be a ways off, but it looks like the next date with Olivia-san has already been decided.]
