“I didn’t agree to doing it in two years! It was just a slip of the tongue!”
“Nn?”
“What’s with that grunt? Do you understand what I am saying?”
“Nn.”
What’s with that irresponsible and half hearted reply!? Are you really listening to me? I’m begging you, please listen.
Alfred’s currently lying down beside me, playing with my hair as he pleases.
I don’t understand what’s so fun about that. Also, don’t touch my hair.
…Well… It’s not as scary as being pinned down… I mean, this is a bit better, but…
“Heyー”
“I’m hungry.”
“Hah?”
“I didn’t actually eat dinner yesterday.”
“Eh? I-is that so?”
“Yeah. You’re also hungry, right? Let’s eat breakfast together.”
Alfred quickly rises from the bed, hopping off. Are you going barefoot? At least wear slippers!
He turns toward me, and with no regard to how I feel, grabs my wrist.
“You too, wake uー”
But he stops as soon as I pull back my arm. He stares at my wrist, and frowns.
“W-what?”

“…You, have you gotten thinner? Have you been eating properly?”
“P-P tjnf! Lbk gevf!”
“Efjiis? Ktja’r cba atf kjs P rff la, atbeut…”
“P tjnfc’a ibra jcs kfluta! Pa’r pera sbeg lwjulcjalbc! Ktlr lr cbgwji! Tbe’gf atf bcf ktb’r abb ylu!”
“P rff. Jbwf bc, Oljc. Ofa’r ub.”

Ahh.
This is the usual Alfred.
“O-okay…” I nod, feeling relieved.. I shake off the last remnants of drowsiness as I sit all the way up and put on my shoes.
“Before we step out, fix your shirt.”
“My shirt?”
Your shirt’s unbuttoned all the way… It’s really tempting me.”
When I look downwards to the front of my shirt, the buttons really are unbuttoned all the way.
I quickly do as he says, before summoning all my strength and punching Alfred’s stomach.
It’s so hard!
Damn, this infuriating idiot!! Swap your body with mine!
“S-stupid idiot…!! Aren’t you the one who undid my buttons!!!”
＊ ＊ ＊
Finally, the long spring break comes to an end.
Once the three bullies return to the village, classes start. We are also back to our routine.
And every Saturday, I still visit the church.
…Sometimes, I will encounter Alfred as I’m heading back home from there.
Anyway, today is Saturday.
Upon arriving at the church gates, I come across Alfred who’s just about to leave for his part-time job.
As soon as he lays eyes on me, a smile forms on his lips. He approaches me.
At this point there’s no place for me to run, so I just stand there and wait for what’s to come.
“Good morning. Lian. You’re earlier than usual today.”
“G-good… morning. Y-you too. Going to your part-time job?”
“Yeah.”
He quickly stands up straight front of me. Because he’s so close, I can’t bring myself to raise my head, and avert my gaze by looking down.
Then, Alfred grabs my wrist.
“Hey.”
“W-what?”
My field of view suddenly shrinks, Alfred pressing his cheek against mine. It’s slightly cold to the touch.
He does the same to my other cheek.
He does it so suddenly that I stiffen, and when I finally come to my senses, I recoil in a jump.
“Wha…!!? W-what are you doing!?”
“I was just thinking about getting the ‘blessing’ from you.”
“Huh!? Stup— wha… What are you saying, you idiot!? Y-you’re only going to your part-time job, right!!? Why would you need a ‘blessing’ just for that! Also, you can’t do it so suddenly, you know!”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right! Go learn it from Marie-sama one more time!!”
Alfred laughs out loud.
He looks as if he is having fun.
But he’s totally not reflecting upon what I said!
“Then, I’m off.”
“J-ju… Just leave already!”
Before he leaves, Alfred lets me know that he’ll be returning home before dinner. After I send off his laughing self, I sigh.
For some reason, he’s been doing things like this more often these days. Touching me and shortening the distance between us. And without a warning too. When he does this, I’m at a loss.
Sometimes, a strange, subtle, and indescribable feeling envelopes me. It makes me second guess myself. As if not running away from Alfred’s advances is somehow okay… Ah crap, I’m in huge trouble now.
And then there’s that bit about our promise to not leave each other. The promise made under slightly dubious consent.
No matter how I think about it, it’s bad, right? In a lot of meanings. It’s totally bad to the nth degree.
Even asking Alfred about his intentions back then is a bad idea.
That’s why I’m careful not to touch on that matter day after day. That’s why I’m cracking down on that strange, subtle, and indescribable feeling.
“Oh, Lian-sama. Good morning! Isn’t the weather great today?” says Marie as she leaves the back door of the church, a bucket held in each hand. She approaches me, cheeks dyed an a shade of apple, and greets me energetically.
“Good morning,” I reply.
“Oh my, what happened? You look upset! Don’t ruin your cute face with that expression! If you have any trouble, you can just tell me. I will always be here to hear it!”
What do you mean with ‘cute’? Please stop describing me the same way my perverted elder brother does. In fact, I request a correction from you.
I sigh. “Marie-sama, er… Things just haven’t been going as planned.”
“Hmm? Well, that might be so… But every cloud has a silver lining.”
“Silver lining?”
“Yeah. I mean, if things aren’t going as planned, then that means you can change the course as much as you want, doesn’t it?”
The sheer absurdity of her words almost cause me to lose my balance.
“…M-Marie-sama is optimistic as usual, eh… I’m jealous…”
“Hehe. I mean, even if you think about it pessimistically, it won’t really change anything!”
“Uh… W-well, that’s… certainly right, though…”
“It’s because Lian-sama is thinking about it too much. You should be more, cold? ...Cool? Or chilly? Ah, chills? Is that it? Well, I don’t really know if I said it right, but you should be more like that!”
“Ehh… Really?”
“Yes!” Then she breaks into a laugh.
All of a sudden, I feel stupid for overthinking things. A small sigh leaves my lips and I somehow manage to smile at Marie.
Special thanks to Anon-san and MsLori-san for the ko-fi! Have a nice weekend, everyone!
If Chinese BL novels are lacking of gong POV, then Japanese BL have tons of it, but they are lacking of third person POV!!! It sounds so natural in the JP version but now I start to think that I didn’t do the first person POV justice… _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):-
Next chapter is from Alfred’s POV, he may or may not eat another tofu again…! I took a small peak at the raw ToC and it seems like there is a bonus chapter with Lian’s perverted brother POV… 😂🤣 I’m shocked ahaha
Ohohoho im looking forward for alfred’s pov hehehe
Thank you so much for the chapter miichan! Props to your hardwork uwu
Ehehe, I’m currently working on it, so I hope you will like it as much as I am! (≧∇≦)b
Thank you for reading so fast too, Smol-chan~ I’ll ganbaru! ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧
Thank you for translating mii and sleepchaser for editing!
I think you did the first person PoV fiiiine~
Is it bad that I’m looking forward to the elder brother’s POV only a little less than Alfred’s POV next chapter? (=_=;)
Thank you shwut-san, it means a lot to me if you think what I did is okay!! (＊＞∇＜)ノ
Well, I won’t say that I’m not looking forward to read the perverted brother’s POV? I want to know what he thinks of Alfred snatching his moonlight fairy princess (゜ε゜＊)
A two year stay of execution. I wonder if he (Lian) can hold out that long.
Oh oh oh, Lian might fall into the temptation sooner or later, right? That will be interesting too, hueheheheヾ(・ω・*)ノ
You should be more cold? Chilly? Chill…? (I’m not sure exactly how the sentence was but you get my idea I’m sure, too lazy to scroll)
Not a proper translation of course but seems like a realistic mistake for someone not hip with the times. Anyways it won’t hurt my feelings in the least if it doesn’t work for you.
Thanks for the great translation ♥️♥️♥️
Ah, that’s certainly right! Since Marie have a hard time saying it, then it should be some kind of slang! But fuwa fuwa is not really a slang… I guess it’s just like… it’s hard for her to say it? But what is so hard with saying fuwa fuwa… So it might some kind of unusual saying? Then it’s a slang? ＜(￣◻︎￣;)＞ //confusedmii
And the ‘Chill’ should work better than ‘Laid-back’! I have no idea why I use laid-back actually ｗｗ
Thank you for your input, Kleep-san!!
oh my gosh… what a good morning treat!! thank you!!
Thank you for reading, whiteclover820-san! (≧∇≦)b
…I’m just wondering, does white clover has any hidden meanings, like for example, Kuroba Kaitoー
Eh, what am I saying? Don’t mind me… (＊￣▽￣＊)
Thanks for the chapter~!
Thank you for reading, 8ball-san~ (^・^)

Lol Marie told lian to chill~
Someone has to say it to Lian who is full of denials! 🤣
Thank you for reading too, Ruubix-san!
Waaaahhhh~ another chapter so soon (๑￫ܫ￩)
Blessed by not only the god of cuteness but also the one of fast updates~
Thanking the goddess Mii~
(〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
I’m not the quickest translator who can do daily updates, but I’m glad if you think my releases are considered fast~ Now that this is the weekend, maybe I’ll try to finish chapter 15.5 today! Then next week, under the mercy of my angelic editors, I might be able to release more~ d(◍•ᴗ•◍)b
Thank you for reading and commenting, Falling off this Cliff-san! May I have the permission to steal that super duper cute emoji? (｀・ω・´)ゞ
Thank you for your hardwork!
I can’t help smiling whole reading this xD
You’re welcome, ritsukatakanashi786-san~ ☺️🌟💕💕
These two are getting cuter and cuter together.
Yes, like Marie said, just derail everything already Lian. XD
Aaaaa!!! They are so whipped with each other I just-
And Marie’s words are certainly right! Now I wonder if she is secretly cheering up for them! 👀💕
Fufufu~ Lian is resisting less and less every chapter~
It won’t take long for him to just stop thinking so much and fall into Alfred’s arms~
Meanwhile they are so cute~ Lovey dovey banzai~!!
Thank you for this two chapters, I think you did a good job so don’t worry too much!!
He might not realized it yet but he is not really that much of a tsun anymore www His dere side is starting to take over fufufu~
Ahhh I’m happy if you think so!!! (≧∇≦)b Thank you, Sakura-hime-sama~
Thanks for the chapter. (✿ ♥ ‿ ♥) ❤ ❤ ❤
You’re welcome, Lili-san!! 💕💕🌟
Im excited to know whats going on Alfreds mind.
Thank you for the chapter!
Thank you for reading, Jwel-san!💕💕
Thanks for the chapter! 💕
You’re welcome!! ☺️💕🌟
Thank you for the update ❤️ I love getting other people’s POV to our MC, it fleshes out things we may be wondering about and sometimes draws attention to bits we passed over with the mc. Super excited for more from Alfred and interested in brother – it’s going to be weird 😅 poor Alfred not getting his off to work blessings, he’ll definitely demand them when Lian agrees to be official 😁
Yes!! I really love seme POV for some reason, I like to read how whipped they are to their wives~ And Lian’s brother POV… I hope it won’t be full of flowery words 😅 Ohhh! I want to see Alfred gives his little kitten some kisses before going to work in the future!! I wonder if Lian will stay being tsuntsun~ 😚💕💕
Lian can’t ever be not tsuntsun but his tolerance will increase so not as constant. Yes seme or gong pov are really nice to read but they are not that common unfortunately. Flowery words seem to be a bane of all translators … I do think the brother will have some gives pats to Mii-san ganbatte!! 💪💪
I have drawn you fanart for this lovely series! keep up the good work. (≧∇≦)b

Ah ahhh why I see this now!!! They are so cute ahhhhh!!! If my profile picture is Lian stroking Alfred’s hair, then NomadicStardust-san made the reverse version, ahhhhh!!! I’ll silently wish that this scene will be canon!!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
(๑♡⌓♡๑) soooooo goooooood! Thank you so much!
I’m vibrating like crazy from all the fluff. Aaahk! Thank you so much for translating this novel.
vibrates together with IdleBones-san!
Thank you for reading too~ ((っ•ω•⊂))ｳｽﾞｳｽﾞ
Many thanks for the chapter~!!
Thanks for the chapter! 😊
Thanks as always, Mii ❤🥰
and uhhhthere’s a Chinese webtoon called “Life Going Wild with Plugins” with gong POV and tons of fluff. It’s my favorite Chinese BL 🙈
also Marie is so fluffy
You dont know how much i love switching povs. Its so great to see different perspective on a story because it brings me closer to the characters and sympathize with them more
Thank you for the chapter ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think that in the paragraph where Lian meets Marie there’s a typo. It might be “She approaches me, her cheeks dyed a shade of red.” Because “a shade of apple” doesn’t really make sense, and there are different color apples too! Imagine if her face was a shade of light green :/ that’d be weird.
I’m always looking forward to Alfred’s POV!
Thank you for the chapter!!
Robert’s POV? OMG I’m looking forward for it! I’m kind of love him? Like I’m pitying him in some way 🤣
By agrreing to do That in two years, Lian has admitted he has feelings for Alfred, so It’s normal he acts this touchy-feely around him 😆
Thanks for the chapter!
