Also, I don’t really remember, but there was an author’s note for this chapter, which was something along the lines of this chapter having some yandere parts to it and if you don’t like that kind of thing, then feel free to skip it. I don’t really translate ANs because most of them don’t really relevant to us anymore and I’m not good at remembering things, so here’s an “author’s note” for you. If it was something important, I’d translate it.
Anyways, here’s a fun fact for you: the author has just started first year of university, so they should only be about 18-19 years old. Was this unexpected for you?

I jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Amelia.
Amelia was trembling, frightened.
「A, akira…when did you start listening?」
I cocked my head to the side and stroked the back of my neck.
「Since the start. Well, that’s mostly because I got here first.」
Then, Amelia’s face turned pale.
It was truly a coincidence.
After Kurou told me that the thing he was most afraid of was a hand not reaching, I entered the forest to contemplate in silence.
Climbing a tree was because being up there calmed me down, and not because I was trying to hide. I was thinking it over so deeply that I didn’t even notice until Amelia had come to stand at this tree, so it wasn’t like I purposely move to this tree.
Even if I explained it, Amelia’s complexion probably wouldn’t get any better.
The blood completely drained from her originally pale skin.
I place my hand on top of her head to calm her down.
「You don’t need to worry, I won’t leave you, and I won’t forget about Amelia either.」
Certainly, kaasan and Yui were important too, but Amelia was just as important.
There were tears in Amelia’s eyes, and she held on tightly onto the cloak that I was wearing.
And then, she looked up at me and tilted her head to the side.
「Really? You won’t leave me behind, or forget me?」
While bewitched by Amelia who was behaving like a puppy, I nodded.
「Aah, I promise. …on the contrary, I’m the one who’s worried. Since we don’t seem to be suited for each other. Just talking about looks, it’s annoying, but the hero would definitely be a good match with you.」
I took out my dagger, and had the frowning Amelia hold onto it.
「I don’t like that person. Akira is cool, and strong. …what are you doing?」
I gave a wry smile, at that.
Certainly, the hero was weak, but I’m not cool.
I couldn’t deny that there wasn’t the suspension bridge effect when Amelia and I met either.
, when I looked up, Amelia’s cheeks were dyed red, and then, she put a hand on my cheek.
「In that case, promise me this as well. Do not die, do not forget me, do not separate from me, and always, look only at me.」
I stood up, and embraced Amelia.
I held her small and slender frame close.
「That wish, I have heard it. I will fulfill it without fail.」
Not separating seemed excessive, but other than that, it seemed fine.
Since I did not have the intention of dying, forgetting her, nor being distracted by another woman.
Amelia was smiling happily, within my arms.
Amelia, who had been somewhat melancholic ever since I was injured in the dungeon, was truly smiling for the first time in a while.

It wasn’t the kind of forced smile you have when you first meet someone, but a genuine smile that only Yoru or myself would be able to see.
I want to go back because of my kaasan and younger sister.
However, in this moment, I had the thought of not wanting to separate from this smile.
