Confession? (コクハク？) is a special short story given to those who purchased volume 7 of Sword Oratoria in Toranoana.
The story was later adapted in Memoria Freese to promote the sixth episode of the second season of the anime.
Summary[]
A few days after their War Game against Apollo Familia, Ais headed to the Hestia Familia home to congratulate Bell on his victory. In her hands she held a bouquet of flowers to give him as a gift. However, there was also something else she wanted to ask her pupil. Just imagining herself doing so made her blush.
The image of Ais tightly holding the bouquet of pure white flowers and trying to contain her embarrassment could look like that of an innocent girl about to confess. Indeed, several who saw her got the wrong idea, including Bell himself.
Being congratulated by the woman he admired made him extremely happy, and when he saw her blushing trying to tell him something Bell concluded that it was a confession. As much as he tried to deny the possibility his heart began to beat strongly and he even imagined Ais saying the words.
When she finally mustered her courage what Ais asked him was how he had ranked up to Level 3 so quickly. Bell just formed a dry smile and silently cried at the swordswoman focused only on becoming stronger.
