“…Bianca.”
I turned my head and asked Bianca, who was smiling at me, a question.
“Yeah, why?”
“Are you really okay?”
“What?”
“You explained it to me like this: the two of us were in love, and I had an unavoidable accident that made me lose all my memories.”
At my question, Bianca paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“…That’s right. That is what I said.”
“So I’m asking you—do you really have no complaints about the situation I’m in? Honestly, I might not even love you.”
“…..”
Bianca’s eyes widened at my words. She looked both sad and unsettled, as if struggling with emotions.
“I lost my memory. Thanks to that, I don’t remember anything. I couldn’t even recall my name until you told me. Of course, I can’t remember the moments I shared with you either.”
“…That.”
“I can’t remember anything. No, I ‘won’t’ remember. Without those memories, how could I say that I love you? It’s really unfortunate, but I don’t feel any love when I look at your face. Maybe… I’m not the person you loved.”
“…..”
“So I want to ask you, Bianca—are you really okay? Even though I’ve forgotten everything, and you might end up loving me alone, are you really fine with that?”
This wasn’t a question for myself—it was for Bianca. I wanted to understand the heart of this stubborn woman who, despite everything, had loved me so much. Deep down, I also wondered if it was possible to love myself, even if I didn’t recognize who I was anymore.
At my question, Bianca shook her head slightly, a faint smile touching her lips.
“…Cain, you really don’t know anything about the kind of woman I am.”
Sharak!
Bianca took a light step toward me and whispered softly in my ear.
“…It’s okay. I’m really fine.”
“…What?”
“Actually, it’s familiar. I’m used to waiting patiently for someone to love me. So, it’s okay. Maybe the memories of you loving me don’t matter at all.”
“…Don’t matter?”
When I asked her with widened eyes, Bianca gently took my hand and whispered in a small voice.
“I think what matters is this moment. So don’t worry too much. From now on, it’s just about building new memories for the two of us.”
As she said that, I suddenly felt something warm touch my lips—soft, quiet, and unexpected. There was no time to react or escape.
Her l!ps were warm and moist. For a moment, it felt as if I had tasted something sweet—Bianca’s sweetness.
“…Ah.”
While our l!ps were locked, I could feel Bianca’s breath, her presence, and the warmth of her body. Our eyes met briefly, neither of us turning away.
But soon, I quietly closed my eyes. For some reason, I felt that keeping them open at that moment would disrupt the mood.
I didn’t know how much time had passed, but eventually, our lips parted. Strangely, I felt a flicker of regret as we pulled away.
“…Did you know?”
Bianca spoke in a slightly shy voice.
“That was my first k!ss.”
“…First k!ss?”
How could that be? Weren’t Bianca and I in love? So why was this her first k!ss? Could it be that I was some kind of ascetic before I lost my memory?
“…That’s a secret,” Bianca giggled. “You were a pretty stoic person, you know? And not very perceptive.”
She laughed to herself, as if amused by the thought, then gently wrapped her arms around my right arm and leaned against me.
“Let’s go for a walk. I’ve wanted to walk with you like this for a long time.”
Her voice was much lighter than before, carrying a sense of contentment.
“…We’ve never gone for a walk together?”
At this point, I began to wonder what kind of person I had been before losing my memory. I hadn’t even kissed such a beautiful woman, nor taken her for a walk. Had I planned to become a priest or something?
“No, we did go for a walk together. Twice,” Bianca corrected. “But we’ve never done it with our arms linked like this.”
After saying that, she plucked a hyacinth blooming near the cabin and handed it to me.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll return the surroundings to normal. Honestly, I thought I might’ve gone a little overboard. I just wanted to make a flower garden for us, but maybe I got carried away.”
I tilted my head and asked Bianca, who murmured, “There’s no need to rush. We have plenty of time anyway.”
“…You wanted to make a flower garden? Do you like flowers?”
It was a question I asked without much thought. However, as soon as I said it, Bianca’s expression shifted—her gaze grew distant, as if recalling something from the past.
“…No. Actually, I don’t like flowers at all.”
Sponsor Chapters at the Patreon Shop: Along with BuymeaCoffee where you can now make payments in your local currency.
The Shop section on Patreon can be used as a way to make a one-time-payment. I will be creating products in the Shop section with the title of the webnovels. It will only have an image as the product, but it will count as the payment for the Sponsored Chapters.
For example: You will buy the product with the title “Flower Stealing Master” to sponsor a chapter for the novel. As far as I know, you can buy the same product multiple times, so you should be able to sponsor as many chapters you want. I hope it was easy to understand.
