I stare at Isis-san sitting next to me with a serious expression, and she tilts her head in wonder.

''........What do you want to tell me?''
Yes.

　I should have been prepared for this, but I was still very nervous.
　I could hear my heart beating and Aisis-san's voice sounded awfully loud.
　

'.........Isis-san, I.......like Kuro.
Yeah I know.

　Hearing the first thing I said, Isis-san looks a little sad.
　This is probably because I remembered what I said before about how monogamy is the norm in the world I lived in.
　Even though this is a necessary preamble to sincerely confronting Ms. Isis, it's a little heartbreaking... but the real thing is yet to come.

''But I........oh, I like Isis-san, too. Of course, as a woman........
...What?
'Maybe he's insincere. Maybe I'm indecisive. But in my mind, Isis-san has become a really big ... irreplaceable, lovable person.
Huh?

　Hearing the words I told her, Isis-san's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
　Her beautiful ruby-red eyes were shaking violently, as if she was upset.

''.........Ugh, lie......because......I......am......a monster. -- "I don't care! --Huh?

　I interrupt Isis-san's words, who was about to say that I am a monster that wears the magic of death, and I grip Isis-san's hand tightly.
　While wishing for this thought to be conveyed to me, I move my clasped hands to my chest and continue to speak as I wrap my hands around it.

''........It doesn't matter if it's the magic of death or the Sixth King or anything else. I fell in love with you, the kind, pretty, and always thinking of me with all my heart....................the woman called Isis Remnant.

''So I want Isis-san to always be smiling and happy... I may be such an unreliable person, but I will definitely make Isis-san even happier than she already is!　
?

　 All that's left is to wait for Isis-san's reply........
　Even if you are not conceited, and even if you know that Ms. Isis has feelings for me, you still can't help but feel nervous about the confession, and you can hear your heart beating very clearly.
　When I was a black man, I was so busy myself that I didn't have time to think about such things, but now I'm in the midst of a tension that feels like a needle pricking my whole body.
　I really understood what Lasse-san was saying about not feeling alive until I got a response.

　

''.........it's not a dream.......it's not......for me........'' ...I don't know if I'm going to be happy about this...
Mr. Isis I'll say it again. I like you can I ask you for an answer?
''Yes I like Kite too... more than anyone else. ...Most of all ... let me continue to ... stay ... with Kite.
Yes. With pleasure.
''~~!　Kite!
"Oh, my God!

　Hearing my words, I cried tears of joy and Isis-san jumped on me with great vigor.
　Because it was a surprise attack and because I was poor, the momentum pushed me to fall on my back with Isis-san holding me.

　With me on the bottom and Isis-san on top of me, Isis-san continues to shed tears while attaching all of her small body to me, as if to say that she doesn't want to leave me in the slightest.

...for the first time in my life...
Mr. Isis.
"...kite...kite...kite...I love...I love you...I love you.
I like you, too, Mr. Isis.

　Receiving the words of Isis-san, who repeatedly tells me she loves me with a voice full of tears, I hug her body a little tighter, feeling happy that my feelings have been understood.
　Then Isis-san reacts to the movement and gently raises her face........and closes her eyes.

　I wipe away the tears that shimmer on her beautiful cheeks with my fingers, then I put my hands behind Isis-san's neck and slowly pull her face to mine.

''.........hmmm....

　Our shadows are perfectly aligned, and with the wind on the hills caressing our cheeks, we.................lost in time.












　A pleasant breeze blows on the hillside, and we sit side by side with Isis and gaze at the scenery.
　Isis-san is leaning over me to pamper me, her cheeks are dyed and her eyes are squinting with happiness, and I hug Isis-san's shoulder, feeling really loving about her appearance.

''........Is it okay?　I'm so ... so ... happy.
Of course it's good. I promise........
"Well if you're by my side Kite I'll be smiling all the time. I could be ... more ... much ... happier.
Yes, sir.

　Murmuring in a gentle voice, Isis-san slowly puts her hands around my body and squeezes me tightly.
　When I feel happy as well as embarrassed at the warmth of Isis-san's body that I can feel with my entire body, Isis-san murmurs in a gentle voice.

''But........I.......it's not just me.......''
...What?
"....and Kite....makes me happy..................for liking me, and I regret it. I don't want to ... me ... to be more ... likeable to you, Kite. To ... try to.
I don't regret it, but... yes. Let's get to know each other a lot better from now on.
Yes.

　It's taken me a long time to get to this day since Isis-san confessed to me... and I've made her wait.
　But after taking the time to think it over, I think I've made up my mind.
　I'm not going to let go of Isis-san and of course Black.

　I like both of them, the answer I gave was such an indecisive one, but I feel it was a gentle.......and happy answer.

''........Well, come to think of it, we were in the middle of a meal.
'Oh ... um ... kite ... come eat with me.
Yes, sir.
Will you ... come back ... to my house ... to visit me again?
Of course, I might go there rather often, don't you think?
Well ... yes ... a lot ... come on ...

　In my arms, Isis holds me and smiles happily.
　I swore strongly, along with the love that bubbled up in my heart, that I would never let this smile fade away.

'....Kite...
Yes?
I love it!

　Dear Mom, Dad - It took me a long time to get to this point, but I was able to tell Isis about my feelings for her and we became lovers. After all, I think a smile on Isis-san's face suits her very well, and I can feel happy when I see it. That's why I want to keep this smile on my face from now on as well.
