Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San?

Koharu Sato's father, Wakuen, looked down at the sole with his frozen eyes.

Ahead of his gaze is a smartphone that glows pale and light at the bottom of the hot tub.

……

Wagen wraps his white shirt arms around him and picks up his smartphone from inside the hot tub.

He bought it for this high school entrance celebration.

I never dreamed I'd be the wingman to know how waterproof my latest smartphone is on such occasions, but anyway, Wagen gazed at the display.

Something like some kind of app chat screen is open.

Wagen did not install “MINE” on his own smartphone, but soon understood how the app worked.

Koharu was exchanging messages with a man named "Shou-tai Shou-tai”.

And Koharu still has a call history just before he collapsed in the bath.

Extremely, the message sent by "Push Tail".

“I like Mr. Sato."

"I see."

Wagen put the smartphone in a sleep state and wiped the droplets off a single surface with a towel that was nearby and put the smartphone in his chest pocket.

And a word with Boosh.

"... apparently the smartphone was still early."

The sharp glasses peeking from the back of the glasses were cold and wet as if they were blades.

Twitching, twitching and burning between eyebrows.

I slowly woke up remembering how hard it was to sleep there.

When I opened my thin eyes, the sunlight inserted through the gap in the curtain was burning my forehead.

"Ugh."

Face to face and hit the flip in the light futon.

I don't know what it is, but I'm very tired and weak.

Not at all yet, I didn't feel like getting up.

Speaking of which, why are you so tired... and thinking in the midst of all this,

"... that?

I opened my eyes properly.

Thoughts gradually become clearer.

This is my room.

... It has a cooler.

But why futons at a time like this...?

I thought I peeked and somehow I was naked under the futon.

"What!?

I'm already surprised.

'Cause I don't have the habit of sleeping softly at night.

But that surprise slowly brought back yesterday's memories.

- That's right.

I did, I put it up in the bath, and my mother nursed me, and she pulled me to my room...

I thought about it and looked around for a moment.

Then, by the bed, I could see my smartphone on the study desk.

Did you bring it unconsciously, or did your mother collect it for you?

Anyway, I unfortunately wrapped myself in a light futon and jumped to the phone with momentum.

If that wasn't my dream, too convenient, that I could put up in the bath, I'd tell you, Tail...!

With a trembling hand, I manage to disarm my smartphone's sleep mode.

Then the smartphone launched and displayed the screen without any problems.

MINE talk screen that is not at all different from my memory.

There's a call history left, and a "I like Mr. Sato” sentence sent by you.

It feels real, it pushes me over.

On purpose, my body waves from the core, and tells me.

Yes, I was confessed to you yesterday.

"Huh... Huh!!

It was a nice decision on my part.

I pressed my mouth firmly, jumped into bed, and buried my face in the pillow and screamed.

Naturally, it is sooty.

- Liar, really? Not dreams?

But it stays properly in shape as data!

I, I, uh, shoved tail at you...!

The words of his confession, word for word, clearly come back to mind.

I'm still incredibly surprised that you confessed to me, but more importantly, I never thought I'd make such a drama confession in my life.

Besides, though, over the smartphone, it's so eary, it's clear...

It can't be forgotten! To the back of my ear, it was firmly engraved!

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!

I held my own face from the top of the pillow and rolled around screaming over the bed.

Of course, sooty pong.

I can't help it if this happens.

Because I remember!

♪ I've always liked you since I first met you ♪

Yes, Pushtail said.

Since the first time we met...... I don't know when that refers to in you, but if that word were true, me and you would have always been both thoughts.

Pushing Tail... maybe because you're experienced, you're not as pitiful and warm as I am, but it still means you felt the same way.

Even when you helped me that was tangled up with scary brothers in “cafe tutuji”.

Even when I taught you how to take pictures that can be shown in your room.

All, all, all, when you took two shots at the selfie, when you went out for a tapioca milk tea with me, when you rushed under me alone eating ice cream.

The countless scenes that remain in me.

In all of that one scene, Tail, you liked me.

I'm so happy.

- No, wait?

"That!?

I get up as soon as I get back to me.

Pushing Tail told me you liked me, and I also found that it was both thoughts.

That's good, that's good...

"I... what did I answer to your confession...!?

Yes, I hadn't thought about the reply from this one at all.

I twist my head desperately and dig up yesterday's memories.

... a lot, difficult.

Pushing Tail, every word of your confession says you can remember it beautifully, but it is not clear what reaction you have returned.

Because the moment I was confessed by you, my face got so hot, my head turned white, I let it go up all at once.

Mm-hmm. Roaring, I manage to follow a vague memory.

Then a certain dialogue of my own came to mind.

- Me too... I like you, Pushtail...

"I'm responding!

Good, and I exhaled a sigh of relief.

Now I can't believe I didn't reply because I let you up in the bath. I'm sorry I'm laughing, haha.

Nah, as I mocked myself, I dropped my gaze toward the fuzzy phone...

"What?"

My gaze will be nailed to a time display, written small at the top of the screen.

- Oh, shit!

"Late!

I haven't been able to confess, but no problem, I still have school today.

I jumped out of my room in a hurry.

I knew it, it was sooo pungent.
