"Mr. Youngmiya, was this what you meant by errands?

"No, I was going to confirm about your cat..."

"Uh... sorry"

You remember the mistake you made earlier, Leah. God laughed bitterly.

"So, what was the real deal? No way... I'm not studying or anything like that now, am I?

"It's more of a suggestion than an errand. Oh, but I'll study."

"... suggestions? You're going to study... seriously."

I sighed softly, but honestly I was happy.

Sometimes I ask the young palace to watch me study, but most importantly, this time was starting to seem a little fun these days.

Well, it's only a little...

"First of all, before I made my suggestion, I thought about Mr. Nagaki"

"Yeah?"

I look down and sip tea at her.

As always, you're sitting in a beautiful position.

"I still think you're unfathomable, Mr. Nagasaki."

"Oops, you're following the core... Well, you're right..."

Straight pointers thrown at me without picking a word pierced my chest.

I have too much in mind......

I wish I could split it up like a byte, but it doesn't work that well.

If I had spent as much time in school as I did in part-time customer service...... maybe I could have made one or two of my friends.

Well, I can't because I've been acting so hard.

"So I thought,"

"What?

"What doesn't work, and how do I make sure Mr. Nagaki gets to the point of normal conversation... as I do"

"I'm vain to say it myself, but I think my sexual roots are as deep-rooted as mold, huh? I don't think it's going to change overnight."

"Right."

It's a little sad that my words have been lightly affirmed.

Well, it's better than being able to line up the beauty...

"So I was hoping I could take the time to fix it"

"Huh. How far is the time..."

"When I get a job, I want it to take a form that I don't have a problem with going out into society. Jobs will be hard to navigate as they are."

"Are we past that?!?

"I still want you to work hard."

"I'm still in high school..."

"I think life design is important, right? Because backwards from there, you can see what needs to be done now."

"I'm being objective."

Future designs in high 1... Normally you can't, normally.

Even if I could, it would be ambiguous like "I like this" and "I like that".

Ma, maybe you're the perfect person so far because you're a handful of people who can do that.

Oh, my God, you don't even see me an inch away...

"Youngmiya decided to design her life in the future?

"Right. You have hope and desire, don't you?

"Heh. Can you tell me for your information?

"It's a secret."

"A little..."

"It's a secret."

"I don't even have an island to hang on to, dude..."

♪ I'll never talk ♪

My eyes are about to complain like that.

I sighed and flaunted my shoulders.

No matter how much you make me throw up.

That's because I know exactly what it is.

"A permanent tree who is heartless and has no interpersonal skills with a blasted stick"

"Oh, my God."

"It's true, isn't it?

You're right.

"But there are some good things about it," Youngmiya muttered.

It was as subtle as it sounded, but I pretend I didn't hear anything.

Don't compliment me.

I'm not used to it...

I snort in a grumpy way.

"So I'd like to get rid of that unfathomable style of permaki trying to force her to distance herself"

"Resolving... you can't. The nature of a person doesn't change that much."

"That's not true, is it?

"No, no, because values and essences don't change without extra impact, do they? It's kind of influence-nashing."

"Pfft. I thought Mr. Nagaki would say that. Impact matters, doesn't it?

"As it is, well... right"

"Here's a suggestion, how about we call each other by name from now on?

"Huh..."

Lose words in unexpected suggestions.

My head was confused and I said, "Why?" The question fills my head and I can't think together.

"I think the act of calling by name leads to taking away one wall of distance between people. So here's a suggestion as the first step."

"Well, maybe that's the idea..."

Youngmiya took a small, deep breath, saying, "Well, you'll call from me," without waiting for my reply.

Look straight at me and smile.

The attractive grin made my chest crouch.

"... Showa Kun"

I squeal my name in a soggy, small voice as if the always prestigious Leah God doesn't seem confident.

I feel the size of my chest stirring increases and my pulse gets faster.

"Well, go ahead..."

"No, there's a boulder... a hurdle"

"Go ahead."

There is no escape anymore.

I struck my tongue in my heart.

"Er............... Rin"

"Yes......"

That reply is not as clear a voice as usual, but a weak, mosquito-like voice.

He also seemed to tremble in small pieces like he was bored by something.

………………

mutually silent.

We look at Rin a little, but when we gaze at each other, we deviate from each other.

And if I give you a little face, you'll see each other again, and then you'll slip away again.

My face is hot.

Leah God's face is red, like a boiled octopus.

From Rin's point of view, I'm sure I'm bright red too.

I can understand that without a mirror.

Take it easy, me.

I take deep breaths over and over again.

"Hey. I'm calling it a name... why don't we just do it when we're two?

"... why?

I spoke out a little sad.

And he puts his hand on my lap, and he looks up and peeks into my face.

Clear moist eyes won't catch me and try to let me go.

If we gaze in there, they're going to suck us in just like that.

I slipped my face away from Rin and dropped my gaze on the floor.

"No, that's it. It's hard right on boulders...... so embarrassing to die. So... yeah, what do you say you two keep secrets?

"Secret... is it a secret"

Rin puts his finger on his mouth and gives a slightly thought out look.

"Okay. So don't call me outside."

"... oh, you're right. Don't let your mouth slip outside, because it's definitely not, is it?

"Are you pretending?

"It's not true. I just cautioned him."

"I know. Because it's a secret between us."

It sounded like a strange inclusion in the secret part... well fine.

Rin laughed small, "Phew," smiling what but gladly.

"Ooh... right"

Just don't bother returning it.

They may have thought it was heartless again.

But I have no choice.

I can't watch this any more...

And I turned away from her laughter by pretending to change her posture.
