I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1078 - Mission ⑧ : Confess your Feelings!

I immediately understood what was written on the message card, telling me that I should stop dilly-dallying and start facing Dr. Vier, and what it meant.

Yes, bottom line is that Dr. Vier had already confessed to me that “she liked me as a person of the opposite sex”, and she had been actively making her approaches since the Six Kings Festival.

In response to such a Dr. Vier, what I had done…… was taking advantage of the fact that Dr. Vier told me that “I didn’t have to answer right away, and that she would do her best to make me like her”, I hadn’t given her a proper answer until now.

In a way, I had been taking advantage of Dr. Vier’s kindness and was turning a blind eye.

Even though time may have been different for me back on Earth, it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’ve kept Dr. Vier waiting for more than two years.

Dr. Vier would never rush me for an answer though. No, on the contrary, because of her personality, I really think she will wait for years, even decades.

However, there was no way I could take advantage of her kindness and keep on putting this off. This was something I had to think about at some point, and the fact that it took me this long that Tre-san gave me a message card like this shows how slow I had been.

That’s why, now, I have to think hard about this…… How I feel about Dr. Vier, and what kind of answer I should give to her feelings……

Moving my gaze slightly, I saw Dr. Vier, who is looking at the message card with a serious expression on her face from a distance.

My encounter with Dr. Vier was accidental. I happened to help Noir-san, and through that connection, we became acquainted…… Somehow, I feel that even if we hadn’t met there, we would have met at some point.

My impression of Dr. Vier was that she was a very kind and respectful person, and even after I learned of her various circumstances, that impression remained unchanged.

She was a kind and reliable doctor, with a cute, clumsy side at times, and she had a complicated past.

We may have similarities in our personalities, but we get heated with topics that would make others astounded. She may look calm, but she’s someone who acts upon her thoughts. She’s the type of person who is very aggressive in her approach to romance, showering me with her straightforward affection.

……To be honest, it may be useless thinking about it now. I can think of many reasons to like Dr. Vier, but I can’t think of any reason to dislike her at all.

Dr. Vier herself may have a lot of thoughts about me, but that doesn’t change the way I feel about her.

I guess I really had just been putting this off. When I thought about this matter again, the answer came to me really quickly. Now, all I had to do was put these thoughts into words.

Having this in mind, I remembered that I was told to open Envelope 9 when I had made up my mind.

『Then, go tell Vier exactly how you feel!

※When you’re done telling that to her, open Envelope 10』

What was written were words that pushed me forward. Tre-san is oddly perceptive, or rather, she can see through the essential parts of things, so I think she sensed the relationship between Dr. Vier and I when we were at the clinic before, as well as my own feelings that I was looking away from.

She also gave me a chance to face Dr. Vier and pushed me forward. I’ll have to properly thank her again next time……

As I made up my mind and headed towards Dr. Vier, she seemed to have finished looking at her message card and had a slightly anxious expression on her face.

[……Dr. Vier.]

[Ahh, Miyama-kun…… Errr……]

[Do you remember? Back then, in this place, Dr. Vier said it…… that you will continue atoning for your sins.]

[Eh? U- Unnn. In the end, it was kind of a self-satisfaction for me.] Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

That’s what she had said after that incident with Dr. Vier had been settled and Dr. Vier and Kuro had reconciled.

[Dr. Vier also said that while continuing to make amends, you wanted to acquire happiness, right?]

[Unnn. I have to reflect on my past deeds and make amends, but as Miyama-kun taught me, I believe that it’s possible to do so while seeking happiness.]

[To be honest, I don’t think I can help with your atonement. In the end, it all comes down to whether or not you can forgive yourself…… But if it’s seeking happiness you want, I can help you…… No, I was thinking we can work together to achieve happiness.]

[Eh? T- That means……]

Perhaps sensing what I was about to say, Dr. Vier looked at me with an expression of mixed anxiety and anticipation.

Making firm eye contact with Dr. Vier, I told her the words I had just affirmed earlier.

[……I’m really sorry that it took this long for me to respond. I also…… No, I love you, Dr. Vier. Of course, as a member of an opposite sex, I mean.]

[!? ]

Even though it was a coincidence, after two years had passed here in Hero’s Hill, where Dr. Vier and Kuro once reconciled and the place where Dr. Vier confessed to me, I gave her my response.
