When I asked her, Cocoa blinked her eyes a little... and immediately she smiled like a prank.
"Fufufu, you've noticed a lot, Bel. As far as I'm concerned, I was going to play it pretty seriously."
"I felt quite uncomfortable with tricks and facial expressions. Ah, the best way to hug? It was less intimate than usual in terms of words."
Especially when you answer Elaine like that, Cocoa admitted it lightly without deceiving her... somehow with a subtle expression. Uh, why?
"No, I didn't think it was going to be a decision for a boulder. Even if you are, you are more aggressive than usual."
"No, that was pretty normal. When you two are together, you'll be hugged quite aggressively, me."
"... I was so unhappy with my desires."
Elaine sighs when she wants to be honest.
Keep looking at me like that.
"If that's all you know, don't you really realize? The identity of cocoa."
"Ahahah... well, if you come this far, it'll be a boulder."
I have doubted it several times in the past.
That child, who hardly ever leaves the room, trusted anyone other than Orchid and Mimori-san.
I also knew in real time how much I was supposed to know about Cocoa.
It was strange to think that Elaine and I had been working together for the first time.
Besides... even if Elaine asks me to do this, I only know one person.
"But I see... I can't believe Cocoa was Shizukuishi..."
If you think that way, all the questions will match the Tsuji. Because Tia and Cocoa were the same person.
Elaine does not deny my murmuring, overflowing with confirmation.
Does that mean that? Yeah, it's confirmed by this reaction.
I mean....
"Shizukuishi... you've been keeping an eye on me ever since I started FFO..."
Shit, shit, shit. When I think about it, I can't stop seeing my face.
Even though I started the FFO and was refused to do it together, I tried a lot to lose, but without Cocoa's support, I couldn't beat Eldertrent, and I think I got stuck faster.
I just didn't know it myself... I've been playing with Shizukuishi all along.
And... and...!
"I can't believe I was always being held so much by Shizukuishi and rubbed like that...! When I first met Tia, I was a little more nervous than I thought, but you really liked the look of this avatar!! That's good!!
"... hmm? It seems like it's a bit off...."
Elaine leans her neck at the cry from my heart.
No, no, because Cocoa was actively trying to skin me, which means that Shizukuishi was trying to skin me.
When I think about the fact that Shizukuishi in reality refuses my skinship, that means that Shizukuishi has become a mellow part of my beautiful toddler avatar!!
"Okay, let's hug a lot from me next time. I'm sure you'll be delighted!!
"Wait. Wait, wait, don't hurry, Belle!
Elaine waited for me to scream with an overflowing impulse.
Elaine pokes her finger at me as she tilts her neck to see what's going on.
"Look, Shizukuishi is a kid who can't be honest anyway. Especially in front of the bells. You know what this is?
Uh-huh.
She's an intriguing kid. It's quite painful for me, but I still feel like I'm putting up with what I want to say sometimes.
"Now the cocoa hugs the bell a lot because it's only“ cocoa ”and not“ Shizukuishi ”. If you reveal who it is and imitate it as if it were imminent..."
"Su, what do I do?
"As usual, if you try to hold me, I'll kick you, and you'll be in a comic book."
"Yeah, I hate that!
I'm glad they turned me down, but I don't have such a hobby.
I want to share this love with Shizukuishi!! I want to touch Shizukushi even more!!
"That's why, Belle. Try to pretend that you never noticed what's in Cocoa again."
"Okay. But I wonder if I can..."
I want Cocoa to hug me the same way in the future, but now that I know Cocoa = Shizukuishi, I am not confident that I can treat you the same way.
If you can, that's how much you want to hug and rub your cheeks on your encounter this morning.
It's okay. I have a good idea.
Then, Elaine, who looked like Cocoa, smiled like a prank.
Elaine said, showing off one of the distinctive facial expressions that I noticed.
"Bell, you learned how to deliver in the middle of the morning, right? In this afternoon's exploration, let's scatter the impression that even if“ bell ”and“ cocoa ”do“ such a thing ”naturally in the FFO."
