「It doesn’t matter. My peers always say I have a wooden face. But even so, with you, just talking in a meadow would fill my heart,」the man expressed.
「… That’s a bit irritating. It’s like you’re calling me a homely woman,」Leylia replied.
The man chuckled throatily, like a cat that received a treat. 「Does it bother you?」
「?」
「You’re a Sister, and you probably have someone you direct your attention towards. Will meeting me cause any trouble?」
「… He’s my brother’s friend, and we’ve only spoken a few times. Originally, I had feelings that failed to bear fruit. Besides, it’s you I want to meet now,」Leylia explained.
「…Thank you.」
Leylia placed her hand on the latticed partition between them.
She had to confess. Not just her feelings, but also the lies she had been carrying.
I must confess my sins and apologize.
「I’m sorry. I’m not actually a Sister.」
「!?」
「And…
… I love you.」

The sound of the door being forcefully kicked echoed throughout the empty church as the man rushed out of his side.
Realizing what he must be doing, she hurriedly pushed the door on her side open. Perhaps he was angry about the lies and deception. Or maybe he felt betrayed because she expressed affection with the knowledge he held feelings for someone else.
Thinking of how best to apologize, Leylia lifted her head.
The light streaming in from the stained-glass windows filled the church with a brighter atmosphere in the crisp winter air. In front of the confessional in the deserted church, the two met for the first time.
The air she had drawn in as she readied herself to apologize became stuck in her throat.
Because there, standing before her…
With black hair, well-defined features, and towering above her, was her brother’s friend, the person her heart desired – Lutz.
Unlike his usual stoic expression, he looked dumbfounded. His eyes remained fixed on Leylia, his ears gradually turned red.
In the quiet church, the man’s voice reverberated.
「…Could it be, I’ve been receiving advice from the person herself…?」
All the pieces of the puzzle flowed through Leylia’s mind like an electric current. Every piece fell into place, and the truth, almost like a joke, was revealed. In other words, when he spoke of his friend’s sister, he was referring to her!
The joyous yet terrifying reality left Leylia numb from head to toe.
For a while, they forgot to blink as they gazed at each other. It was as if fate were at play, guiding them to meet.
How surreal.
Somewhat dazed, the girl recalled a story she heard from her brother about this particular church.
Rumor had it that there was an angel here.
As the numbness melted away little by little, Leylia covered her chest and murmured, 「P-please don’t jam it in…」
「I won’t now!」
