How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

③ "Because you are very similar"

"... it's good that Mr. Leung's friendship is expanding."

Yes, it is.

"It's a pleasure to have him liked or get along with others. And yet....."

"Yeah."

"And yet... I can't believe you're taking such an attitude."

I remember what happened a few hours ago.

Lian talked to Sayano-san and laughed together.

Looking at such a place, the nasty stuff inside of you is swelling up and down.

I was so frustrated that I forgot about myself.

"... I think you and Sayano-san must have been in trouble because you were irrationally hit by anger.... pathetic. I'm shackled by Mr. Leung...I want to support him..... "

As a lover, what I want to do to you.

Loving him as he is and joying his happiness together.

Do I deserve to be by his side if I can't do it...?

'I want him to live more loved,' I said to him.

I really thought so.

But if that feeling has changed somehow.

Suppose my presence only interferes with Mr. Ian and instead keeps him away from happiness and growth.

If so... I...

"Oh, did you go out with Nanba to support him?"

"... eh?"

To the strange question of a thousand years old, I raised my face unexpectedly.

When I saw it, Chitose pulled up her mouth and looked at me.

"I knew I liked Nanba, I couldn't stand it anymore, and I wanted to be alone, so I thought maybe I went out with her."

"That's not true....."

Chitose's voice was surprisingly light, but she didn't seem to be joking.

"After all, if you just support Nanba, you don't have to be her.That's why we should support Sayano-san and keep an eye on them so that they can be successful. "

"... well, that's..."

In the words of a thousand years, a bad sight came to my head.

Lian stayed with Sayano-san, held hands, and smiled at each other.

Mr. Leung seems happy, but there's no sign of me.

That's... that's... that's...

Don't you like it?

"... I definitely don't like it."

"Because it's now? Or from before?"

More, before.

Before I went out with Mr. Leung.

So, were you so close?You two..... "

"What were you talking about with Chitose?"

I'm not angry. I just thought it would be a lot of fun. "

... yes.

From the very beginning...

"See? Nothing has just begun."

Chitose's mean smile turned into a soft, soft, gentle smile.

Maybe it looks a little lit up because she remembered the same sight as me.

"Of course, I'm not denying your desire to support Nanba.But isn't it bad that you want to monopolize that role? "

"That's...."

"There are words like 'free love', but you are 'love'.Why don't you forgive Nanba even more for falling in love? "

"I forgive myself..."

"Yes, if you're in love, you deserve to be alone.But you won't know if Nanba hates being monopolized by Rihua.If you look for a compromise, you'll find it. "

……

"We have to face it and accept it.But it wasn't just me, it was Nanba.I have to tell you, I won't tell you.You guys look alike, so maybe you've never done that before.But if you don't put it right, sometimes it doesn't make sense. "

Chitose stood up slowly.

Then come next to me and look me in the face.

"It's the most important thing that makes you happy."

Chitose said, hugging me like an envelope and sticking it to my cheek.

"For Nanba, it is important for him to be happy himself.Just like that, your own happiness is more important to you than anything else.And you became lovers for your own happiness.Don't lose sight of it. Walk straight face to face so they can be happy together. "

Chitose's voice seemed to tremble a little for some reason.

But maybe it sounded like that because I cried.

"I'm sure you can do it.I'll always help Sazuki, too.So please, Rihua. "

"... Chitose"

Then she remained silent and held me for a while.

I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't think so.

Like a thousand years ago, I didn't say anything, I turned my arm around her back and waited for my tears to subside.

When Shizukuzuku was overflowing from my eyes.

Chitose said with a refreshing face, comfortably away from me.

"Well, good luck, I'll see you later."

"... yes"

I got up and left the room in a thousand years.

Just before I closed the door, I felt I had to say something and stopped.

"Chitose"

"... oh, what?"

Chitose, good luck too.

She looked at me in surprise.

Then, fufu, I laughed weakly enough to disappear and said.

"Maybe I can't."
