"... What do you like about Mr. Dongyun?

The girls in front of me have started some sort of meeting, and Mr. Charlotte is holding my clothes sleeve silently while trying not to find out around, which made it hard for me to shut up, so I spoke to Mr. Dongyun.

Sometimes I didn't talk to Mr. Charlotte because I naturally care about the eyes around me, but the best reason is that it was hard to grasp what this kid was thinking right now.

Mr. Charlotte looks at the girls with some concern.

Is it possible that you care about being left out of company?

If I were this kid, I'd probably get into the conversation normally...

"Uh... stuffed animals..."

As I was thinking, Mr. Dongyun, as most of us, told me what he liked with a small voice that was going to disappear.

Surprise - isn't it?

Girlish. Very cute hobby.

However, my mental age makes me feel a little young.

"What kind of stuffed animal do you like?

"Huh...?

Somehow I dug a little deeper into expanding the story, Mr. Dongyun shouted out at me and looked up at my face.

What the hell is going on?

Because I'm blind, it's really hard to understand the look on my face.

"Silly... don't you...?

"Why?"

"Because... childish hobbies..."

Could someone have fooled you before?

Well, I thought of it as childish. It may not be something I can say, but I don't like people saying their hobbies anyway.

If you have something you like, I think you just need to stay as you like without worrying about other people's eyes.

"There are a lot of people in the world who like stuffed animals even when they grow up, so I don't think you have to worry about it. Stuffed animals, they're cute."

"Oh, Aoyagi, you like stuffed animals too...?

"Right...... yeah, I like it"

"-!"

When I nodded, I found Mr. Dongyun happy.

Well, we just talked about it. We don't actually have one stuffed animal, but I'm not lying because I think cute stuffed animals are cute.

If you like it or don't like it, don't fall into the category you like.

"How about this...?

That's what Mr. Dongyun has shown me was a doll inspired by a little girl.

I've seen this character somewhere... oh well.

He's an animated character I've seen a lot lately in CM, etc.

I can see from the image that it is stitched very delicately - but no, on the contrary, the question arises as to whether this would not be handcrafted, depending on how much hands are put in.

"Did you possibly make this yourself?

When I asked the part that bothered me, Mr. Dongyun nodded.

He even looks good at something.

"Wow, you're very good."

"Eh heh..."

Praising you, Mr. Dongyun leaked a laugh with joy.

I've never spoken properly before, but this kid may be a kid who gets expressive and can talk a lot if he likes to talk about it.

Because talking is my pace, I need to slow it down a bit.

- Quick.

And then the sleeve of the clothes was pulled by Charlotte's hand.

When I turn my gaze reflexively, he's staring at my face with a lonely look somewhere.

I couldn't get into a circle of talk with just one person, maybe I missed him.

Whatever it was, it was too much...

I'd like to avoid being informed about our relationship, but it wasn't a good idea to make Mr. Charlotte feel lonely.

Especially today, because it's Mr. Charlotte's welcoming party.

"Mr. Charlotte, are you familiar with your class yet?

"Ah - yes...! You guys are so sweet, I could get used to it sooner...!

When I spoke, Mr. Charlotte answered with great pleasure.

How much I missed this girl...

"- Hey, even now, isn't it so close to Mr. Charlotte and Mr. Aoyagi?

"Well, that look on Mr. Charlotte's face, it's like he's totally aware of you Aoyagi...?

"Oh, when did those two get so close...?

Somehow the girls sitting in front of us were looking at us like flirtatious and saying something again, but I stopped worrying because I couldn't hear them, and I just talked to Mr. Charlotte a little bit to the point where it didn't seem weird around me.
