When I finished eating the cake, Lotus came.
He looks unusual and hasty, and his breath is a little messy.
Unlike usual, Lotus Look, wearing a uniform that I wear exactly, is colorful.
Am I a pervert to have eyes on my clavicle peeking through the buttoned y-shirt? I'm not supposed to be a clavicle fetish.
"Sorry I'm late."
"No. It's a good time to get your thoughts together"
I say try not to look at the clavicle.
Lotus saw sat in front of me and drank the chill the shopkeeper brought me.
I ran out of cold in no time. Did you come in such a hurry? You didn't have to rush.
"What were you thinking?
It's about Tojo-sama.
"Hmm... did you get your thoughts together?
"Yeah, I'm gonna stop running."
I looked closely into Lotus's eyes and said, Kippari.
To let you know that this determination is stiff.
"I was running away from something called love. I was afraid that if I fell in love with Tojo-sama, I would become a comic book character (heroine), and that I would no longer be me. But running away just because you're afraid won't solve anything. So I'll stop running."
"... oh so to speak... are you a comic book heroine..."
Lotus looked away from me for a moment and said blush.
Because I hear you!!
You forgot! Me, it was something I said with a lot of courage!!
No, I don't care about that. Not good, but let's just put it away.
"You mean stop avoiding it anymore?
Lotus look back and look me in the eye.
I look into Lotus's eyes, too, and nod.
Lotus looked at me and I shook my eyes as confused and turned away.
"... yes. You've already made up your mind."
"Yes."
"You're strong."
Lotus looked away and squealed pompously.
"Strong, is it?
"Oh. You're strong. I'm always running away."
"Dear Lotus Michi..."
"Same goes for Misaki. I was just running away from the two of them, saying it was for the two of us after all. Because it was easier."
"No. No, maybe it is. But Master Lotus was not running away. Even if it's hard, you've been watching them for a long time, haven't you? What's easier with that?
"... you might think so. But I'm on the run. Even now."
Even now, when I said, Lotus and I only saw each other for a moment, and my heart bounced.
What, this. I want to calm down and include a cup of tea in my mouth that has completely cooled off.
"From Misaki, is it?
After I think about it a little, I ask Lotus.
No, that's all I can think of.
"No. I've had enough of Misaki. I support Misaki with all my heart now."
"Huh?... So who are you running from now?
"... don't know?
Lotus View sees me in the upper hand.
I've thought about it before, but Lotus View's upkeep is so colorful. I don't know, every now and then.
Even though the strange chest highs finally subsided.
"I don't know."
"Really?"
Lotus sight and gaze intertwine.
The sound of my heart is loud. Why me, so often?
Lotus gaze turned a blind eye to the sieve as the high pitched of my chest tried to reach its peak.
I'm confused by myself for thinking that's a little unfortunate.
I wonder what really happened to me.
Something's weird.
"I'll talk to you soon."
I'm about to miss a word that Lotus Watch squeaked.
Dangerous. We have to stick together.
"I'll wait until you talk to me."
I suppressed the upset and managed to smile.
The next day, when I went to school, I met with Lotus.
Sometimes it's unusual, even though we don't always see each other at school.
I say a proper greeting. Greetings are important!
"Good morning, Master Lotus"
"Morning."
He appeared refreshed when we were greeting each other softly.
"Morning, Kaguraki. … and Yasuyu"
"... good morning,"
I try to hide reflexively, my eyes meet with Lotus.
And he whispered to Lotus Watch.
"Didn't you stop running away?
"No. Is this... a conditional reflex forged in a year..."
"What are you two talking about? I want you to mix it up with me."
When I make a few excuses for myself, the prince comes in between and gives me my shoulder all the time.
"No, it's nothing. Good morning, Tojo-sama."
"Morning. What can't you tell me? No way, my bad words..."
"No way... I can't say anything bad about Tojo-sama."
"Really?"
"Yeah, of course."
I nod in the face.
If I say anything bad about the prince, the prince's fans will darken me... I still want to live.
"Ha ha. Kaguraki-san's funny."
"Ha... is that right?
"Yeah, I like Yoshiyu."
That's what the prince said and turned his challenging eyes to Lotus.
I wonder why Lotus See's name comes up there.
Could it be that the Prince is mistaken that Lotus See likes me?
We have to solve the misunderstanding! And as I tried to speak out, the prince spoke out.
"Yasuyu and I are alternating wins and losses... because we will never lose just this time"
"... where I want it. I can't lose, either."
Sparks scatter between the Prince and Lotus View.
Oh, no. I won't pinch this.
Or is it misunderstood by the prince, but is Lotus seeing good?
"Sister, what's wrong, this situation"
A little brother shows his face from behind me.
I'm a little relieved to look at my brother, and I laugh like I'm in trouble.
"That's what I don't know. Tojo-sama suddenly told Lotus to lose..."
"Oh... I see... I understand the situation.... This needs to be nailed properly..."
Heh heh, and my brother smiles when he sees two princes and lotus eyes.
Er... Am I looking at it wrong?
My brother's smile felt very black.
I sincerely think now.
Somebody, do something about this situation.
