Chapter 19: A Small Confession!

-In the Gourmet Guild house-

It was now nighttime and everyone already finished eating dinner as they all head off to their bedrooms to get some sleep, but only one person woke up and it was Karyl.

Karyl was sitting at the edge of the bed and was hugging a small plushie in her hands. And that small plushie was you. Since you became a hero and fought crime which increased your reputation, the people of Landosol made some merchandise of you around in town and were admired for your heroic deeds.

Karyl: I've purchased this plushie of (Y/N) a couple of weeks ago and this became my hugging pillow.

Karyl sighs as she looks at the (Y/N) plushie before she begins to speak to herself.

Karyl: Honestly, I regret buying this, but at the same time, I should be grateful for it. Jeez, what's wrong with me liking (Y/N)? It's just...normal...right? How could you do this to me? Stupid (Y/N)...

The young cat lady says as she lies back down on her bed and holds the plushie (Y/N) in her right arm.

Karyl: (Maybe I should go and ask Dumborine if she likes him or something...)

Karyl then gets off her bed and opens the door, but only to find out Pecorine was outside her room.

Karyl: Pecorine?

Pecorine: Ah, Karyl!

Karyl: What are you doing here?

Pecorine: Well...I just want to talk about something.

This surprises Karyl upon hearing that.

Karyl: (What? Does she has the same thought as I do? Could it be a coincidence?) Uh...sure. Come in.

Karyl then steps aside, letting Pecorine into her room while Karyl closes the door behind her.

Karyl: So...what is it that you want to talk about?

Pecorine: What do you think of (Y/N)?

Karyl: For all I know is that he's a big reliable heroic dummy.

Pecorine: *Sighs* No, not that. What do you think of him? Not as someone who fights or something, but as a person?

Karyl didn't answer and looked away. Pecorine realized what this is and giggles before speaking up.

Pecorine: I see. So you like him too, huh?

Karyl: O-O-Of course I like him, so what?!

Karyl admits with a small blush on her face as Pecorine smiles before speaking up.

Pecorine: I, too, also like him. And I'm sure you know that, right?

Karyl: Yeah...

Pecorine: Come to think of it, whenever you and (Y/N) interact with each other, I feel a little upset. I don't know what kind of emotions is this, but...do you know it?

Karyl looks at Pecorine with a slightly surprised face before speaking up.

Karyl: That's because you're feeling jealousy.

Pecorine: Jealousy?

Pecorine asks with her head tilted to her left.

Karyl: Yeah. You see, whenever you feel jealous in the relationship, you only...wanted your partner's attention or the relationship with your partner is lacking so...you get a little clingy around them. It's just your insecurity, Dumborine.

Pecorine: I...I see. That's how I was feeling back in the Targum Village.

Karyl: I noticed it, but you weren't clingy on (Y/N). You're just a little naive.
