Volume 5 Chapter 21 Case Of Ms. Shirakaba Part III
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Even a single kiss can reveal a lot about someone’s personality. I think Ms. Shirakaba is determined, persistent, and focused. She has above-average drive in both action and decision-making, and she doesn’t seem like a bad person. But if she starts heading in an unusual direction, guiding her would likely be a real challenge for those around her.
Her approach is still developing, but it was a heartfelt moment. With a contented expression, Ms. Shirakaba gently wiped her chin and, like a graceful creature, moved smoothly to keep me close.
Despite her innocent appearance, I can see she has a bold side. I hope she doesn’t lean too far in that direction, but is it already too late? It’s all due to external influences.
She held onto me, pressing close, and spoke warmly in my ear.
”Together, let’s share a meaningful moment.”
Why is it that someone’s presence can fit so naturally alongside mine? It’s as comforting as a gentle embrace—surely designed to draw people in and keep them connected.
Wanting to share a meaningful moment is exactly what I wanted her to understand most.
But going any further essentially means deepening our bond. It means the two of us will become a closer, intertwined partnership of trust and life. It means we’ll be in a more committed relationship.
Even in a world where various relationships are accepted, the meaning of commitment is by no means light. In fact, it’s full of more responsibilities than familiar systems, and there are a lot of important things to consider.
I don’t think Ms. Shirakaba is thinking that far ahead right now; she’s probably just caught up in the moment and lost all sense of time. If we just go with the flow, later on, when she’s calm, there might be a lot of complications. Well, there probably will be.
I know stepping back now would be the wise choice. But it’s also unfair to bring her this far, especially when she’s shared personal thoughts with me, and then just distance myself.
Ms. Shirakaba probably has her own reasons for everything, but no matter how she chooses to live from here on out, it’s not something I should casually interfere with.
Helping others is not a matter to be taken lightly. If you’re going to get involved, you need to be prepared to invest at least your future efforts into it.
Am I captivated by her charm? Well, I suppose I am. I’m not necessarily defeated by pleasure, but my feelings shifted when our skin touched.
Like a revolving lantern, the faces of many women float through my mind.
I should start taking seriously the matter of my forced fiancée, Shea-Shea. Her delusions are too strong, and it’s a bit scary, but she’s not a bad girl.
Miss Floria is an adult and a married woman, so it should be fine to let her pamper me, but I have to regularly express my gratitude.
I don’t intend to have that kind of relationship with Ms. Claire, but somehow our wavelengths match. I want to liberate her from slavery, but first, I need to think of a way to deal with the subjugation skill.
Ms. Lime is a non-human existence, but she has this embracing strength, or something like that. I always feel like she’s watching over me. Am I being observed out of curiosity? But I don’t mind. She’s the servant of a goddess, and there’s something mystical or beyond human knowledge about her.
Ms. Ant accepts me as I am, so she’ll follow me no matter what I do. Blind loyalty? A convenient woman? But somehow, I feel grateful and respectful. I want to become a man who lives up to her trust.
Even though I’ve become estranged from Uno and the others, they were still thinking about me. Sprites bound to humans are said to be deeply loving, yet jealousy runs incredibly deep, and they’re said to take cruel revenge on those who betray them. They’ve freed me from that kind of entanglement. I hope I don’t face any penalty.
Ms. Nina is the one I fell for one-sidedly, and I’m not sure if she sees me as a man. If she revives and there are a lot of wives waiting for me, will she be jealous? She might just be appalled. I have confidence in her goodwill, though.
Was it a sense of duty as the doll princess that saved me at the risk of her life? Or was it because she loved me? I want to ask, but she would probably gloss over it.
In her case, it’s quite possible she did it purely out of a sense of responsibility. I also like Ms. Nina’s such qualities.

Is it a man’s responsibility? Whether to reach out to the offered meal or not—that’s the question. It’s probably what has continued to cause conflict for men throughout history, east and west.
Ms. Shirakaba, unable to hold back, began rubbing her hips against me. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before she, losing her reason, forces herself on me.
Can I then escape responsibility? That’s not something I can just do. What is a man’s responsibility, I wonder?
