In the end, without Maria"s help, it took me the whole day to move the table and make it so that the door wouldn"t open. By the way, it"s inconvenient not being able to use this table, so it may be smaller than this, but they prepared another table for me.
I snickered while ma.s.saging my aching muscles.
“Hehehe, with this, you won"t be able to open the door, Clark-sama!”
I felt unusually uplifted. He always makes the first move. I sometimes want to lay traps myself. Clark-sama will definitely be surprised at not being able to open the door. I was excited just imagining the look on his face.
Ah, but in exchange for that, my muscles hurt.
I want to tell them to stop making marble tables.
When I enjoyed the tea that Maria poured for me before she went back, the bookshelf rattled.
Look, here it comeeeeees!
I happily approached the bookshelf.
Despite the bookshelf violently shaking, the table stood in its way, unable to move, and could only rattle on.
Before long, the shaking stopped. Looks like Clark-sama stopped moving the bookshelf.
“Hehehehe.”
I let out a laugh.
“I finally won!”
He"s definitely mortified right about now. It"s thanks for harshly teasing me up until now. The taste of deceiving others is so sweet.
At the same time as I went back to my chair, satisfied, the room"s door made a clicking sound.
Huh?
I was surprised, and when I timidly looked towards the source of the noise, I saw the door slowly open.
Clark-sama appeared as he grinned.
At this time, I understood what fear was.
He was obviously in a bad mood, different from before.
“Letty.”
He called my name in a low voice.
“Y-yes?”
Scary, he"s scary!
Clark-sama walked towards me as I shivered in my chair. The door was behind Clark-sama. The secret door was blocked by the table. It"s all over for me.
While I tried looking for other means of escape, Clark-sama stepped in front of me, and stooped down to meet my gaze.
“Letty, what"s that?”
The thing that Clark-sama pointed to when he said, ‘that," was the secret door I blocked.
“A secret door.”
“Letty.”
I know that"s not what you asked, but why it won"t move, right?!
I opened my mouth, my face stiff, as I wondered what I should do.
“Ah, so that it won"t open, I tried to…”
“Why?”
I wanted to shout, ‘So that you don"t come in!" But I"m too scared to say it.
Why do you have to get so angry at such a small joke?!
I lamented my own rashness. I conveniently thought that Clark-sama wouldn"t come if the secret door won"t open, but he"s able to open the actual door anyways. What a simple mistake.
“See, uhm, this is, it"s probably because I"d be troubled if Clark-sama came, or something like that…”
“Why?”
“Why, you ask…”
I looked down, fidgeting.
“Letty?”
Why is your face always so close?!
To be under a person with such a beautiful face is extremely bad for my heart. I know that my face was rapidly turning red already.
“That"s cause…”
“That"s cause?”
Clark-sama repeated my words.
“It"s troublesome for you to come because I"m embarra.s.sed!”
When I earnestly said that, Clark-sama gaped at me. But immediately after, he chuckled.
This is why I didn"t want to say it!
Clark-sama cupped my cheeks with both hands, his earlier displeasure disappearing. Stop, don"t fixate on my face so much!
“I see, you resist so much because you"re embarra.s.sed, huh?”
He kissed my cheek as he said that.
“Eeeeeeeekk!”
I screamed while clutching my cheek, and as I stepped back, I lost my balance. I fell on top of the chair.
As I calmed my fl.u.s.tered state, Clark-sama quickly hugged me tight.
I heard my heart pound.
“Hiiiiiii!”
I could only let out an idiotic shriek.
Clark-sama rubbed our cheeks together.
“Seriously, you say such the cutest things, Letty.”
I didn"t say anything cute!
I wanted to say he misunderstood, but because he was hugging me tightly, I couldn"t even do that. He snuggled me for a while and let go after he was satisfied. I was relieved deep down.
“You"re such a shy person, huh?”
Don"t say it like that.
“Not wanting me to come because you were embarra.s.sed with what happened yesterday, how cute.”
He absentmindedly caressed my cheek.
Stop, if you say any more than this, I"ll turn red all the way up to my ears!
Despite covering my ears with both hands, he immediately took them into his.
“You"re so cute, Letty. It"s fine, I"ll tell you just how much I love you from here on out even if you get tired of hearing it.”
“No thank you!”
Despite how frantically I said that, he just happily smiled.
“But Letty.”
His voice suddenly lowered. My voice trembled with a start.
Clark-sama pointed at the secret door.
“I won"t be kind to you if you do this again in the future.”
Hiiiiii!
Even though he was smiling, his eyes weren"t. I once again trembled in fear.
“You won"t do this anymore, right?”
He asked as he firmly stared into my eyes, and I could only nod my head.
Very yandere…
