I Was Rejected by the Main Character in a Romantic Fantasy-Chapter 104: Sylvia (2)
Sylvia’s prepared lunch was sandwiches.
In fact, many people think sandwiches are easy to prepare, but that only applies to the previous world.
The method of making them wasn’t difficult, but the process of preparing the ingredients was the problem.
In this world, you can’t prepare and store bread and ingredients in advance, so you had to buy fresh ingredients in the morning.
“... It’s delicious.”
“Really? I’m glad...!!”
Sylvia smiled, visibly pleased at my compliment after taking a bite of the sandwich.
It was an ordinary sandwich with vegetables, including tomatoes and ham, but perhaps because it was filled with Sylvia’s sincerity, it was even more delicious.
After finishing our simple meal, we started walking to view the flowers.
In my previous life, I honestly didn’t understand why people went through the trouble of flower viewing.
Walking continuously made your legs hurt, it was tiring, and there were too many people, so it was a bit difficult for people like me.
But...
“It’s really beautiful...”
Seeing Sylvia smiling more beautifully than the flowers with sparkling eyes, I began to understand little by little why people come to view flowers.
They don’t come to see the flowers, but because the expressions of people looking at the blooms are beautiful.
Moreover, Sylvia’s beauty, more beautiful than flowers even without smiling, blended with the beautiful scenery, creating an unforgettable sight.
“...Indeed.”
I unconsciously replied to Sylvia’s words like that, smiling.
It was cute and beautiful how her eyes sparkled like a child’s.
In fact, since the moment I decided to properly and fully accept all their feelings and think about them properly, it had been difficult to hide the feelings that kept bursting out.
But the reason I tried hard not to show such signs was because I still hadn’t clearly made up my mind.
They were all so lovable that I couldn’t choose just one.
“Let’s go over there...!”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Sylvia led me, smiling brightly as if she was enjoying the flower viewing.
I, too, enjoyed seeing her happy, so I followed her steps without any objection.
“The colors are different over there!”
“They must have planted different flowers.”
It was clear that this park would have been quite attractive even if I hadn’t come with Sylvia.
Despite the various flowers blooming, they were planted harmoniously by color, pleasing to the eye.
It seemed we weren’t the only ones enjoying this park; many people were looking at the flowers with joyful smiles.
Among them were young children, kids around our age, middle-aged couples, and elderly couples.
Everyone seemed united by the beautiful scenery, smiling with the same heart.
“Felix...!!”
Lost in thought watching Sylvia run ahead with light steps, I came to my senses at the sound of Sylvia calling me and looked in the direction of her voice.
‘I told her not to go ahead...’
Sylvia’s appearance was quite eye-catching, so unforeseen circumstances could occur.
Of course, the probability of such things happening in a place like this was extremely low, but that didn’t mean we could be completely careless.
Nevertheless, the reason I smiled rather than sighed was because it was nice to see Sylvia’s excited appearance.
“Here, over here...!!”
Turning my gaze towards the voice, I couldn’t help but stare at her with my mouth unconsciously open.
It was because Sylvia, smiling and waving at me from the middle of the flowers, following a path through them, looked so beautiful.
It might be a cliché expression, but I could only stare blankly at that sight, like a painting.
“Felix?”
As I stood there staring at her blankly for a while, Sylvia approached me with a puzzled voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“...”
I was about to say it was nothing, but I closed my mouth and smiled slightly.
I realized that I, who had thought to stop running away and answer honestly to their feelings, was still trying to avoid answering.
Taking a small breath for a moment, I composed myself and looked straight at Sylvia.

Golden hair shining brighter than gold, sapphire-blue sparkling eyes, flawless white skin... Looking at her, I answered honestly.
“You’re beautiful.”
“...Uh, what?”
It was the first time in my life I had said something like this to someone.
Sylvia looked at me with wide eyes, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
I just smiled in response to her gaze. Only then, realizing what she had heard was true, Sylvia urgently grabbed my sleeve and said,
“Can... can you say it one more time?”
“Hm? No.”
Sylvia’s desperate appearance was so cute I couldn’t help but feel endeared, but I couldn’t say those embarrassing words twice, so I flatly refused her request.
She pouted her lips regretfully, but still smiled happily, as if replaying my words in her head.
“Oh, why...”
“I can’t... do it twice.”
Maybe if I got a bit more used to it, but I wasn’t shameless enough to say such embarrassing things twice in an unfamiliar situation.
It might be disappointing for Sylvia, but it couldn’t be helped from my position.
“Let’s go quickly.”
Bursting into laughter at the sight of Sylvia rejoicing with a thoroughly happy face, I started walking, holding her hand.
“Eek...!!”
“Hahaha.”
When Sylvia let out a sharp scream, startled by my sudden hand-holding, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Perhaps because I thought it sounded like an old man’s laugh, Sylvia also started laughing and walking along with me.
As I thought when dating Ashillya, for some reason, the sunlight felt especially warm when I was with them.
***
I walked around the park holding hands with Sylvia.
By the time we had seen the whole park, the evening sunset was starting to fall.
I thought we hadn’t moved much, but it seemed quite a lot of time had passed as we viewed flowers and played around.
‘Well...’
More accurately, we had so much fun that we didn’t notice the time passing.
“Whew...”
Sylvia and I were taking a short rest, sitting on a bench near the park exit.
I couldn’t help but smile happily at her appearance.
“Are you okay?”
For me, with my good stamina, it was fine, but for Sylvia who doesn’t usually walk much, it might have been a bit of a tough schedule.
“Yes! Of course...!!”
Sylvia answered my question with a smile, gripping our joined hands even tighter.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
Of course, there were places selling food inside the park.
They weren’t proper meals, mostly snacks, but they were enough to fill your stomach.
But that was in the middle of the date, and now it was time for dinner. Because we had been walking for a long time, I was naturally a bit hungry too.
“A little...?”
“Then let’s go eat.”
We had now seen the whole park.
It wasn’t just a quick look around; we had explored it very thoroughly, so it was fair to say there was nothing left to see.
Sylvia nodded slightly at my words, and we decided to sit on the bench a little longer until she recovered her energy.
Even though the evening sunset was falling, we still had plenty of time left anyway.
“Is there anything you want to eat?”
“...Well, I’m fine with anything Felix likes?”
“That’s almost as difficult an answer as ‘anything.'”
“Hehe, is that so?”
Sylvia laughed innocently, but I had to think carefully.
No matter what, it was a date, so I couldn’t just feed her any food and send her back.
Sylvia, who had been smiling playfully, seemed to notice that I was seriously pondering, and continued with a smile,
“I really don’t have any food I dislike, so it’s okay. And...”
“And?”
Sylvia hesitated, drawing out her words.
Sensing that something embarrassing was about to come out, I swallowed hard and had to wait for her words.
“When... when I eat with Felix, everything tastes delicious... so, don’t worry.”
“...I see.”
I almost burst out laughing at the sight of Sylvia speaking with her face bright red.
Of course, it wasn’t because her words were strange.
Simply,
Sylvia saying such things was just too lovable.
