My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 1246
I realized that my confession was a failure
“…Are you calm now?”
“Yes. Sorry, Claire.”
“You’ve been apologizing a lot, Mr. Takumi. Though, it’s not that I dislike it…”
I don’t know how much time had passed. It could have been a few seconds, but it also felt like hours. Finally, Claire touched my hand that was in front of her and whispered.
“Is it true. What you said?”
“Ye-yes. Of course.”
“I see.”
“Claire?”
After thinking for a moment, she slowly turned around.
“How do I look, Mr. Takumi? Does it suit me?”
“Of-of course! Just as I expected…no, even more… You look very beautiful.”
She smiled.
“It is very pretty.”
“Uh, um, yes. I…wanted to pick something more vibrant, as the roses would be a pale color.”
The necklace had green, emerald-like stones decorating it.
Though, they were from this world, and had a shine to them that was different from earth emeralds.
The colors were bold and clear, and they shone brightly around her neck.
“…Mr. Takumi.”
“Ye-yes!”
She lowered her hand, which had been holding the necklace up for inspection. And then she raised her head to look at me.
“What you said earlier. It really was from the heart?”
“Of-of course. Every word I said to you. They really were from the bottom of my heart…”
“I see… Hehe.”
“Claire?”
“No. Excuse me.”
She averted her eyes.
“The vase and flowers. And this necklace. But more than anything…your words are a wonderful present.”
“Oh… So, then…”
“Of course, that sudden embrace from behind did surprise me.”
“Ah, yes…”
“But…I was also happy.”
“Claire…?”
“Ah! Well… As your punishment for startling me… Close your eyes.”
“Alright…”
I obeyed her and closed my eyes tightly.
“…”
“Huh?”
There was a gentle breeze, and the subtle scene of flowers. And then a moment later, the sensation of something soft.
“Thank you, Mr. Takumi. I have a great affection towards you as well…”
I opened my eyes in surprise.
“Hehe. Now it is your turn. …I got my revenge.”
“Um…”
Claire was hugging me from the front and looking up into my face with a mischievous grin.
“…You look slender, but your body is harder than I imagined.”
“Uh, well…I work out a lot…”
It probably had more to do with me being tense.
“Um, Claire. What…”
“Like I said. I just wanted to pay you back.”
“I see…”
So she wanted to surprise me by hugging me from the front. Also, she said something about affection?
It was all so sudden, that I was feeling very mixed up in my head.
