Volume 5 Chapter 23-2 Case Of Tizzy Part II
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
In a place where emotions have softened, we prepare to embrace the moment. I face Tizzy, who stands in a mysterious yet vulnerable way. I slowly move closer to her, my heart racing not from fear of pain, but from the uncertainty of the unknown. But I know I have to take this step.
Her protective barrier is stronger than most, but it doesn’t affect me. I’m connected to her through a special bond we’ve built. I step into her barrier, feeling a soft, comforting embrace.
Is this what it feels like to be inside someone’s emotional shield? It’s like being separated from the world by an invisible wall. There’s a sense of safety, but it’s also unfamiliar and a bit unsettling. It’s like being a goldfish in a bowl, observing the world from within.
The only thing that feels real is Tizzy’s presence. I gently place my hand on her shoulder, offering reassurance. Her body trembles slightly. While we share this moment, I watch and wait until she feels safe. It’s not scary—not at all.
I try to move slowly, so I don’t overwhelm her. It’s hard to find the right balance—not too forceful, but not too distant either. This is really difficult.
Tizzy is different from Ms. Shirakaba, but she’s also incredibly unique. Being close to her feels warm and comforting, almost like being wrapped in a soft blanket. Every time she trembles, it feels like I’m being embraced in a gentle, squishy way.
It feels too comforting, and I can’t help but smile. It’s a bit overwhelming because it’s so heartfelt.
I’ve heard counting sheep helps in moments like this, but I’m not good at it.
Time passes slowly—maybe just a few minutes. The moment of truth arrives as I carefully keep everything balanced.
Tizzy, feeling more at ease, starts to relax and open up on her own. Did my approach work?
There’s no discomfort like I expected, even though she was initially hesitant. People are different, I guess. Being close to her feels snug and almost like a warm hug, in a good way. It’s so comforting it could become a habit.
If she learns to trust more, she’d be amazing.
”Ah, I’ve taken a big step, haven’t I?”
Tizzy trembles as she experiences something new for the first time. But she looks unsure, worried about something. She’s saying strange things about herself.
”It’s okay. Not everyone reacts the same way. Sometimes it happens naturally as you relax.”
Ms. Shirakaba, who had been watching, comforts Tizzy. It’s better when friends talk about these things together.
”I don’t need comforting, but I remember something~desuwa. When I was a child, my uncle did something bad… It wasn’t a dream, was it~desuwa? I want to forget it all!”
Suddenly, Tizzy becomes very upset and loses control.
”Amada! Say Tizzy is a virgin! You’ll marry her!”
My eyes widened at the sudden words. Tizzy was hurt by a relative when she was young. In noble families, inheritance issues can lead to such harassment.
If I declare Tizzy as my wife and swear to protect her honor, it could end well. But I’d have to fight anyone who disagrees, though no one would challenge a Hero.
I’m not a fighter, though. I could beat a normal noble, but a strong enemy would be dangerous.
”I don’t like vile men, duels, or noble rules.”
”Amada?”
Ms. Shirakaba looks disappointed. She expected me to act like a hero.
”Will the noble send someone to fight for me?”
”Probably, but Tizzy’s honor will be safe. I can fight for you if needed.”
Ms. Shirakaba thinks I’m afraid to fight, but that’s not true.
Losing a duel wouldn’t hurt the opponent much. Even if someone gets hurt or dies, the person responsible won’t feel anything. Noble honor? Anyone who cares about that wouldn’t hurt a girl.
”Then, I want real revenge. The people who hurt Tizzy don’t deserve honor. If I take revenge, it has to hurt them twice as much.”
Tizzy hugs me tightly, agreeing with my thoughts.
”I didn’t expect this from you. But maybe your darker side isn’t so bad.”
My skills are perfect for punishing bad people, but not in a straightforward way.
We feel united against our imaginary enemy. Having an enemy is convenient. But Tizzy’s childhood memories are unclear, so we need to investigate before taking action.
After agreeing, we decide to sleep. Tizzy cleans me up, and we lie down together. The blanket is small, so we squeeze close. It reminds me of my brother’s zebra finches, huddling together on cold days.
