Fern x Frieren part 15

Fern

Frieren, about earlier... Why did you react that way when we ran into that boy?

Frieren

Hmm? Oh, that. I suppose I felt... jealous.

Frieren

I didn't want anyone to take you away from me, Fern.

Fern

J-jealous? You didn't want me taken away?

Fern

(Frieren cares that much about me?)

Fern

Frieren, I... I need to tell you something.

Frieren

Oh? What is it, Fern?

Fern

I... I've always admired you, but lately, I think it's become... more than that.

Frieren

More? Fern, are you saying...

Fern

Yes, Frieren. I think I'm in love with you.

Fern

(There, I said it! But... how will she respond?)
