The day after the excursion, I pulled into the room, good thing the school was closed.
My brother looked very worried, but I kept my brother away because I was fine.
Anyway, now I want to think alone. I wanted you to let me be alone.
When I think about the excursion, my chest swells.
I was confessed to Lotus. To see that lotus.
Confessed, honest, confused.
Because Lotus was just a friend to me, not a paedophile. I thought Misaki-san was the one who liked Lotus.
Why me?
Me, I used to act weird in front of Lotus.
There must have been no such thing as a favorite element.
And yet, why?
No. It's no use thinking about that. I'm not a lotus sight, so there's no way I know why I like it.
However, I was confessed to Lotus View, and although confusion was stronger, I felt happy.
Because I don't think Lotus Seeing just liked looking at my surface.
If that's why you say I have romantic feelings for Lotus Seeing, that's not true.
I don't think my preference for lotus sight is for romance.
In the first place, I don't think I was very aware of Lotus View as heterosexual.
Well, I did sometimes, but it felt like my chest was stuck in the behavior of my favorite character, like watching idols, and I wasn't aware that Lotus was heterosexual.
- Look at me properly. Look at me right in front of you, not the characters in the comics.
That's what Lotus Saw said. The words are behind my brain.
When I heard this dialogue, I felt the pain of being shot through the heart.
Lotus was discerning my feelings.
Somewhere in my head, I saw Lotus View as a character in a comic book.
It's not just Lotus View. The others, too, yes.
I didn't want to see people who came out of comics because I was in comics.
Because I know, because I know, and I didn't try to get to know the people around me right now.
I didn't see the people around me as "real” people.
Me, what a suck.
I can't believe I didn't see that friend properly while I said he was a friend.
"I'm really stupid..."
When I speak to my voice, my chest drops to its weight.
Stop running, I'm telling you, I was running unconsciously.
This isn't the real world, it's the world of comics.
I have to admit.
This place is “real”.
There are so many different things about comics.
One by one, I remember the people around me.
I'm not sure yet because I'm not that close to the prince, but I found out he's not just a sparkling person like a comic book.
Misaki-san had a strong cool image of Rin in comics, but other than that, she has tea eyes and some very cute aspects. I prefer Misaki-san to Misaki-san in comics.
The flying bird, in comics, was a serious and solid image, well, it actually was, but he was a well-accommodated, solid person. I don't feel much of a brace with comics, but the fact that he's good at making Japanese sweets wasn't portrayed in comics.
Morning Fi is disappointed that she was a very reliable brother in comics, but the reality is that she talks only cursorily with her. It's a level that makes me want to hit you. She wasn't there in the comics.
My brother, in comics, was just a sister brother. I still do, but kind of my younger brother these days, I think it's getting black. Is this the difference with comics?
Lotus Mitsumi was kind enough to support Misaki-san from the shadows in the comics. Because of its kindness, Rinhua (heroine) sometimes hit me cold, but he also cared about Rinhua (heroine) properly.
In fact, he's a sarcastic, lighter, and usually doesn't feel anything about kindness, but he cares when it matters.
I don't like horror and make sweets well.
I know a lot that none of them were painted in comics.
I, as a proper reality, can be taken.
I love you all. Sometimes I find it a pain in the ass, but still I like them all.
- I like you.
To the lid, the words of Lotus Watch are played back.
Not now, but my face got hot.
Wait a minute.
Think calmly, isn't it similar to Rinhua's situation now?
Rinhua, compelled by the prince, confessed by the flying bird, fluttered between the prince and the flying bird to continue her unexpected behavior until graduation.
Rinhua is pressed by the prince, but the prince hasn't told him that he likes him directly, so he can't be sure that the prince likes his own thing, and every time, he is tender to flying birds and shakes his heart.
- Which do you prefer, Tojo-sama or Flying Bird?
What a girl to ask herself.
Isn't it similar to my situation now?
No, I don't think anything of a prince, and Lotus is just a friend. He's a confectioner.
But whatever your mood is, the situation is similar.
Oh, my God.
Before I knew it, I was walking the same path as Rinhua (Heroin).
Am I blunt? Is this the fate of heroin?
No, but now that I think back, I feel like Lotus was acting like Lotus was favoring me.
However, at that time, I assumed that Lotus was fond of Misaki-san, so I thought it was because I felt a little uncomfortable.
Oh, my God.
I hate Rinhua!
"Seriously!!!
I screamed thoughtlessly.
Then my brother rushed out of the next room.
"Sister, what's wrong!?
I look bright blue at my brother, who opened the door with momentum.
"Yodo... I'm blunt..."
"What? Oh, yeah... right"
My brother, who ran over to me, nodded with a bewildered face.
I was shocked to see that I nodded at my brother and I knew I was.
"You know... I'm gonna stop blunting"
"Huh?"
"Stop being blunt and be a sensible woman...!
"... you can't"
I didn't realize I missed a word my brother muttered and I grabbed my fist and said.
"I'll hang in there. Yodo, support me...!
"... yeah. Hang in there. I won't say anything anymore..."
I'm disappointed I lost it worried. I drop my shoulder. I don't realize my brother, and I consolidate my resolve.
First, tell Lotus how I feel properly.
It could get awkward. But it should be better to behave like Rinhua (heroine).
I just took action on Monday.
After the student council activities, I was given the opportunity to speak alone with Lotus View.
Me and Lotus Mi turned to each other in a student council room with no one after school.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the time of the excursion. I want to tell Lotus Michi how I feel."
"You said you didn't need a response, did you?
"I want to. Please, listen."
I looked straight into Lotus' eyes with a serious face and said:
Lotus just stares at my face and nods like I gave up.
"I like you, Lotus, as a friend. But I've never seen her as a paedophile."
"... I know. So you want me to give up?
I nod quietly.
Then a faint fire lit the eyes of Lotus.
"I'm not giving up. I told you not to run away."
I was pushed into the wall at some point.
Dang, Lotus Watch's hand hits the wall.
It's the second wall dong.
But why not? Now for some reason, my chest hurts.
"I've decided to turn you around. I'm not willing to give up, even if you have someone you like."
"... how did you get me so far...?
"... I didn't think I'd be attracted to weird kids like you either. But when I found out, I was attracted."
I said weird kid. Is that the kind of dialogue you tell people you like?
"As much as I want to take you away from me, I like you."
Lotus sight whispers in my ear.
By the way, I felt my face turn red.
I don't know. Such a lotus look, I don't know.
The lotus sight I know is always faceless, just sarcastic...
"Did you tell me what I meant?
Lotus peeks into my face.
I couldn't look straight at Lotus View's face like that, and all I could do was look away and nod.
Apparently, the people around me still have a side I don't know.
Anyway, I thought I lost Lotus Watch today.
'Cause look.
Because Lotus is smiling proudly that Lotus has won.
