I slipped into the archive room just in time to spot Lilia stretching, trying to reach a file on the top shelf.

Perfect timing, I thought as I stepped forwards to grab it for her.

“Is this the one you’re after?” I asked, looking down at her with the gentlest smile I could muster.

Her face was just centimeters away from mine. She blushed so intensely, it was like watching an electric kettle rattle as it instantly reached a boil.

“Th-Thank!” she sputtered, forgetting the “s.”

She glanced around, flustered, before realizing that there was nowhere for her gaze to land. Resigned to her fate, she looked at me as I placed a ledger in her hand.

“Which one do you need now?” I asked.

“Huh?! O-Oh, um...”

I leaned over her, taking a peek at the note in her hands. I knew perfectly well that it would have been more efficient to just take the note and bring it closer to my face, but efficiency wasn’t my priority. My goal at the moment was simply to get as close to her as possible—I was a love interest, after all.

Lilia’s blush had spread all the way to her ears. At this point, she seemed ready to burst.

“Lizzie!”

The door flew open with a loud thud.

“Your behavior is hardly befitting of a noble!” Edward cried, his face beet red. As he stomped over to me, his shoulder hit a ladder that had been propped up against one of the shelves.

Lilia let out a yelp as the ladder came crashing down towards us. It hit the bookshelf and sent files and ledgers flying down from above us.

That’s when I realized why Lilia had let out a yelp—an event had been triggered.

“Watch out!”

“Eek!”

I leapt up, acting like I was in a hurry to protect Lilia from the files. To tell you the truth, I didn’t need to be in any particular rush to fend them off. I could’ve handled them just as well at a leisurely pace, but that didn’t have quite the same effect. As a love interest, I needed to maximize impact.

A flurry of files and books hit my back, but it didn’t hurt. It was certainly a lot less painful than being hit by a sparring sword, at least.

Once the racket of falling objects had quieted down, I opened my eyes with a blink and asked, “Are you all right?”

Just centimeters from my face were Lilia’s wide, amber eyes peering back at me.

That was when I realized that I was on top of her. I’d pushed her down to the floor, covering her with my body to protect her. Privately, I breathed a sigh of relief that I’d successfully replicated Isaac’s event.

Lilia opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, as if she were about to say something.

I gave her a carefree smile and teasingly murmured, “Well, fancy seeing you here.”

“Uh...Gmmgh...”

It seemed Lilia had completely lost her ability to comprehend—much less replicate—human speech.

As I gave her a wry smile, I felt a rough grip tugging at the back of my collar forcing me up.
