[The Hated Hero Is Impressed]
“I-it seems like this is finally it…” Tayte whispered.
“Yeah…” I nodded.
Seeing the atmosphere, Eureka was definitely going to give her answer to Raul’s confession!
To think Eureka would make her decision this quickly—
“What are you guys doing here?”
““?!””
A voice suddenly sounded from behind us, and I almost screamed out of reflex, but I somehow held it in and looked back. There stood Jarvis looking at us with a suspicious gaze.
“Huh? Isn’t that—”
“Get down,” I whispered as I pulled Jarvis’s hand.
“W-what’s up?”
“Shh! Eureka is going to answer Raul’s confession.”
“Huh…?” Jarvis quickly quieted down, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
“…I saw you sneakily hid in the bush… so I, uh… thought you were going to do something weird.”
““……””
Just why did you have to say that, Jarvis?
The mood became somewhat strange now.
Trying my best to ignore the awkward mood in the air, I focused my attention on Eureka and Raul.
“The reason I called you here today is… to give you my answer…”
“Ah, y-yeah.”
So our guess was spot on.
Raul, as well as us, tensed up.
Eureka was fidgeting as if she found it difficult to get her words out, but eventually, she gathered up her courage, took a deep breath, and spoke, “To be honest… it made me happy.”
“Huh?!”
Those words apparently came as a surprise for Raul, and his voice went up an octave. Regardless of that, Eureka continued, “But I wasn’t ready to accept your confession. Even though we both grew up in the slums, you were brimming with talent… someone like me couldn’t be by your side… so…”
Eureka became incoherent.
Just one more step.
She just needed to say yes, just that one word, and this would end with the best result.
As Tayte and Jarvis also watched with bated breath…
“Eureka…”
…Raul opened his mouth.
“Thank you. Then I’ll say it again—I like you.”
“?!”
Oh!
Here came the push!
“I-I think that was a good move.”
“I think so too!”
Jarvis’s and Tayte’s breathing became more ragged.
I also thought the additional confession just now was a good move on Raul’s part… now then.
“…………”
Eureka fell silent.
Oh no.
Would she leave this hanging? – Just as that thought surfaced on our mind.
“――――”
I heard something.
At first I thought it was just my imagination, but it was clearly someone’s voice.
When I strained my ears…
“…too.”
The voice became louder slightly.
And…
“I——ke.”
…little by little, the voice became clearer, and finally…
“I like you too!”
…with her voice shaking, Eureka released the emotions she had been bottling in.
Tears filled Eureka’s eyes, her body trembling ever so slightly, and Raul gently hugged her.
Good.
Surely, this was the best result.
The three of us gave a standing ovation before we knew it.
Because of it, we ended up getting found by Eureka, and she fainted out of embarrassment realizing the fact that we had been watching her passionate answer.
◇◇◇
“Man… that was a good watch.”
What greeted me when I came back to my room with a warm feeling inside was—the sight of my three maids wearing mysterious looks on their faces.
“Huh? What’s up with you guys… did something happen?”
“Young Master…”
Marina took a step forward and briefly explained the situation.
“Principal Abigail summoned you.”
“Huh…?”
