Chapter 82:Ā Each Personās Weakness is Different
<hr>
Ā
(Uu, itās inexcusable.)
Ā
Ricardo, who gave me his handkerchief, caressed my head while he held me in his arms.
The fragrance of the perfume I gave him tickled my nose softly.
Since itās a refreshing and discreet fragrance, I didnāt notice until I was close to him.
Ā
(The perfume I gave, heās using it.)
Ā
As soon as I found out about it, I was embarrassed that I felt happy about it.
My thought couldnāt keep up with the rather sweet atmosphere, so I was confused.
Even though my tears and snot were overflowing, Ricardo desperately tried to sooth me.
Ā
[Itās alright, Britney. Regardless of your body shape, there are others who notice your goodness. Iām one of them after all.]
[Uu, Ricardoā¦ thank, thank youā¦]
Ā
I had always hated this body of Britney.
Even if I ate only a little, it got fat quickly, I had to take care of it carefully, the skin became rough, and at first the body odour was smelly.
My surroundings mocked me about my figure, I pretended not to notice it, but it still hurt my feelings nonetheless.
I hated the weak nature of running to food as soon as I felt stressed.
Ā
(Not just thatā¦ I hate my cowardly self who ran away by blaming all the bad elements to the Britney in the manga.)
Ā
The selfish and fat Britney, but the Britney who went on diet after regaining her memories and rebounded due to her weak willā¦ it was all me.
Ā
(However, Ricardo said that he was attracted to meā even if Iām not thin, I am good enough just the way I am.)
Ā
His words of my unchanged attitude despite being fat or thin, they were truly irreplaceable to me.
However, I was moved that he continued to say shocking words to me.
Ā
[I like your personality as it is. Thatās why I applied for engagement with you. That, I want to be married to youā¦]
[ā¦!?]
Ā
While hugging me, Ricardo slowly told me so.
Surprised by that, I timidly looked up to his face.
Ā
[That, could it be that you regard me as an opposite sex?]
[ā¦That pierced my core all of a sudden.]
Ā
Ricardo with slightly overwhelmed eyes muttered so while averting his green eyes.
Ā
[Sorry if itās a misunderstanding. A very embarrassing misunderstandingā¦]
[No, itās just as you said. I thought about how can I say such a thing when our engagement is on holdā¦ so I patiently endured it.]
Ā
Ricardo took a deep breath and placed his hands on my shoulders while holding a serious light in his eyes.
Ā
[Iāll say it again. I like you as a woman since before!]
[ā¦!!]
[Nonetheless, I will not force you to answer. Honestly, I didnāt think that you will notice itā¦ maa, now I just wanted to tell you that so that you wonāt feel sad.]
Ā
I had no time to answer and he ended the conversation.
Ā
(Although Iām not urged to answer soon, I donāt know what to say.)
Ā
I appreciated Ricardoās kindness that cared for me now.
I found him to be likeable.
However, I was not sure that this was a romantic feeling or not.
Ā
(I think that itās an ordinary reaction if a girlās heart throbs due to a handsome guy.)
Ā
It was mourned as an evil practice in my past life, but it appeared before me now.
Ā
[Britney, I think that you can be more confident in yourself. Everyone has things theyāre weak at.]
Ā
After Ricardo said so, I looked straight at him.
Ā
[Does that mean that you have a weak point too?]
[ā¦Maa, there is. Ryuze, Prince Marlow and Lucas know about it, Iām not good with high places and unrealistic things.]
[What do you mean by unrealistic? Like a ghost or something?]
[That too, but I also donāt like magic, curses and strange phenomena.]
[ā¦Are you scared?]
[Donāt say it. I know itās childish.]
[Itās all right, I wonāt tell anyone. Besides, I think a lot of people also donāt like those.]
Ā
He was concerned since he had revealed his weakness, but my good impression of him had risen.
Ā
(Besides, I think itās cuteā¦)
Ā
I didnāt know whether I love him or not, but I did respect him and liked him quite a bit.

TN: Such tooth-rotting sweetness. I think I need insulin.
