Chapter 2070: Date Plan Execution ⑫

However, perhaps because the date was drawing near, that date lingered in her mind.

(……It is difficult for someone as unrefined as me to fully grasp the profound intentions of Shallow Vernal-sama. However, since Shallow Vernal-sama deemed this date necessary, it must hold significant importance for me. I must also extend my heartfelt gratitude to Miyama Kaito-sama for graciously agreeing……)

Up to this point, Olivia\'s thoughts were calm and composed, much like the still surface of a tranquil sea. She prayed in a serene state of mind.

But gaining knowledge can sometimes cloud one’s thoughts. Olivia, being extremely diligent, had put her full effort into planning the date and reviewed numerous reference materials. As a result, her knowledge of romantic matters had significantly improved.

(……A date…… Yes, what Shallow Vernal-sama instructed me to do is go on a date. Therefore, it should not be merely an outing but something involving actions unique to a date. This pertains not just to the plan but also to my behavior during the date and, by extension, how I interact with Miyama Kaito-sama. For example, walking while holding hands with Miyama Kaito-sama…… holding…… hands……)

Olivia’s shoulder twitched ever so slightly, an unusual occurrence during her prayers. This subtle movement was a clear sign of her internal turmoil.

(……B- But wouldn’t that be far too shameless? Holding hands means making direct contact with Miyama Kaito-sama’s skin…… H- He might even think of me as some kind of wanton woman…… N- No, Miyama Kaito-sama is not such a person. Even if someone as naive as me foolishly suggested holding hands, he would surely smile kindly……)

In truth, Olivia’s assumption was not incorrect. If, on the day of the date, Olivia suggested holding hands, Kaito would most likely agree without hesitation.

While her assumption was accurate…… imagining that scenario made Olivia exceedingly flustered. Her tightly closed eyes squeezed shut even more.

At that moment, pillars of flame and magma suddenly erupted within the sanctum, creating an atmosphere so blisteringly hot that an ordinary person would be incinerated instantly. Yet, Olivia continued her fervent prayers…… as if trying to convince herself that the blush on her cheeks was due to the heat……

(W- What a disgraceful imagination! Such blasphemy towards Miyama Kaito-sama…… I must dispel these impure thoughts…… I must pray even more deeply and sincerely…… Oh, speaking of which, one of the reference books mentioned feeding each other food———-! ? ! ?)

Trying not to think about something often has the opposite effect, causing one\'s thoughts to fixate on it. Olivia was no exception. The various pieces of date-related knowledge she had gleaned filled her mind, and she even began to imagine what it would be like if she and Kaito found themselves in such situations.

Blushing deeply———— this time unrelated to the heat of the room————- Olivia, flustered by her own restless thoughts, resolved to subject herself to even harsher ascetic practices to regain her composure.

As Olivia tightened her grip, a Spatial Isolation Barrier appeared in the Founder\'s chamber, and within the created space, gigantic meteors and lightning bolts rained down on her.

(T- These worldly thoughts…… my mind is in turmoil…… This is the first time my thoughts of prayers have been so disrupted!? Kuh, I must clear my mind and pray with pure, transparent thoughts…… M- Miyama Kaito-sama’s figure won\'t leave my mind!? W- Why? What will I do in this state!? If I’m like this now, what will happen on the day of the date……? Kuh, a- as expected, Shallow Vernal-sama\'s trial is not going to be easy. I must properly prepare myself mentally before then……)

Because of her overly serious nature, once Olivia got caught in a whirlpool of thoughts, it was difficult for her to break free, and it took a considerable amount of time for the redness in her face to subside.

As a side note…… after this incident, the priests who observed Olivia———– clearly exhausted———– began to whisper "There are such rigorous and grueling prayer practices in the Godism Faith that even the Founder can be worn out by them." among themselves.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [She’s so overly earnest that she poured her entire focus into planning the date up until now. But once that settled and she got Kaito’s agreement, she suddenly had a bit of breathing room, and now her mind’s running wild with all sorts of thoughts…… She\'s completely become a heroine, isn\'t she……]
