Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 50

After a brief conversation, Kingil left. Once he exited the room, Aisha, Haru, and Ruin started whispering to each other while facing one another.

(Hey, what do you think about that?)

(What do you mean~ That was completely~)

(A hint of love.)

They glanced at Tia for a moment. She was still blushing and staring absentmindedly.

(I’ve never seen Tia like that before.)

(Tia-chan is a maiden, after all~)

(Was Kingil really that cool?)

Ruin had been unconscious at the time, so she didn’t know what had happened.

(I’m curious too. What happened exactly?)

(Well, Tia-chan was about to be killed, but Kingil-chan came to save her. He princess carried her, and after that, Kingil seemed a bit scared, but something happened, and he became incredibly strong. He said, “I’ll protect everyone!” and from there on, it was overwhelming. Even I felt my heart race a bit.)

(Hmm, I see.)

(A situation Tia would probably like.)

When Haru explained, the other two nodded in understanding.

(So, what do we do now?)

(Hmm~ I don’t really want to get involved in this kind of thing~)

(With Tia acting like that, it doesn’t look like anything will happen.)

(That’s true~)

The three of them began a strategy meeting and talked for a while, but Tia, whose mind was elsewhere, didn’t pay it any attention.

A week later, the four of them were healed, and the parts that had been connected were almost fully healed, so they were discharged.

“For now, let’s not accept any requests and just rest on our own.”

“Right.”

“O~kay~”

“Mm.”

Tia said this, and just as she was about to return to her room, Aisha and the others grabbed her shoulder.

“Hey, Tia?”

“What?”

“What do you think about Kingil?”

“Wh-what!”

Aisha smiled mischievously at Tia’s obvious reaction.

“You like him, don’t you?”

“I don’t like him! No… I mean…”

“We~ know~ you don’t have to be stubborn about it~”

“It’s obvious.”

“Ugh~”

Tia’s face turned red as she lowered her head.

“I honestly don’t know… this is my first time feeling this way…”

Tia begins to speak in a quiet, hesitant voice.

“Ever since he saved me, whenever I see Kingil-dono, my chest feels tight, like it’s being squeezed… is this what love feels like?”

“You’re the one who knows best, right Tia-chan?”

Haru says to Tia with a gentle expression.

“For now, try going on a date.”

“A… a date!?”

“Yeah, try asking him out.”

“I… I’ve never been on a date before… I don’t know what to do…”

“It doesn’t really matter, you could just have a meal together or walk around some shops.”

“What if he turns me down… what should I do?”

“You won’t know unless you try asking him.”

“Ugh…”

As Tia hesitated, Ruin took her hand.

“Tia, nothing will start if you keep hesitating, you need to be clear about it.”

“That’s right, Tia-chan! You’ll be fine!”

“Yeah! That’s right! Go for it, even if it means failure!”

“Am I going to fail?!”

Tia was shocked but quickly returned to a serious expression.

“Got it! I’ll ask Kingil-dono for a date tomorrow!”

“Go for it~ Tia-chan!”

“Good luck!”

“Tia, you’ll be fine.”

With the support of the three, Tia steeled herself.
