Lately, I've been wondering.

I was confessed to the Prince and Lotus View.

Yes, I was confessed.

The two of them have certainly spoken to me a lot since then.

I'm trying to figure out how to get through it magnificently and how to walk away quickly.

Yeah. I'm just trying, and it's the way things are.

The prince can see that he's trying to attract my attention.

Comes from every corner of the conversation.

But Lotus has not changed her attitude at all since before she confessed.

As always, it's all ironic, and it makes people look like fools.

This guy really likes me?

And all the time, I wonder. Or was Lotus Seeing a phony then?

"What do you think? Flying bird."

"I don't care what they say..."

Flying birds laugh bitterly as they drink tea.

Tea suits flying birds well.

Princes and lotus birds have a western image, but flying birds are Japanese-style. Yukata and very flat look good.

Will that still suit me when I'm born in a Japanese confectionery shop?

By the way, we are now having a tasting of flying birds' new Japanese confectionery.

It's a treat that looks like blue Dafu: Aoyagi.

It's limp and delicious.

Moist rice cake and moist sweet pepper filling.

Good. One more.

I take another Aoyagi and eat it.

And drink sinister tea. It's a moment of bliss.

"Don't Lotus Watch care about Lotus Watch? Don't let you get awkward."

"Is that right...... but then my heart doesn't get better, does it? At the end of the day?

"Even if I tell you..."

The flying bird looks like trouble.

Recently, I have had more flying birds consulted.

That's just the next student chairman, he'll be personally consulted, and that advice is accurate.

Flying birds are a good consultant to me.

Of course, I'm having trouble being liked, so I've been tickling and nailing "please don't like me" for a long time.

Then every time a flying bird answers with a straight face. "That will never happen," he said.

What does that mean?

No, I don't care if they like me, do I?

"What would Kaguraki want Lotus to do?

"Whatever you want me to do..."

"Are you dissatisfied with the Lotus View attitude now? That's why you're talking to me like this. Didn't I?"

"Do you mean dissatisfied... my attitude is so unchanged that I get anxious that I might have dreamed that day"

"I mean, it is."

The flying bird looked serious and said, putting down a drink of water.

"Kaguraki wants Lotus to show his favor properly in action, right?

"- Yes?"

Huh? Does that happen?

But I wonder if it will.

It's not that I don't like Lotus Watch's attitude right now.

It's easier as it is now, and I want to stay like this forever if I can.

But if I stayed like this the whole time, I feel like Lotus Michi decided she never confessed to me.

I don't want to decide I didn't confess Lotus View.

He said it with a good heart. I can't do what I didn't. Even if you're not willing to respond to me.

"Isn't Kaguraki overthinking a lot? If Lotus really likes you, she'll think and act quite a bit. You can accept. [M] Don't worry about Lotus Watch. Then it's like you're expecting it."

"... I expect... does it look that way"

"At least, in my eyes"

I'm not expecting anything.

But if that's how you see it from around you, you have to be careful.

Can I accept it?

Sure, I probably think a lot too much.

"That's flying birds. Thanks for the good advice."

"... I didn't expect a girl to talk to me about romance either..."

"Don't you have a choice? If I talked to my friends around me about it, it was going to be a big deal, and the only thing I could think of that I could easily talk to was flying birds."

"I thought so."

Flying birds laugh refreshingly.

That was really helpful. I feel refreshed a little bit.

I knew the next student chairman wouldn't count on you.

"Flying bird, why don't you become a counselor in the future?

"... take it as a compliment"

That's a compliment, isn't it?

Then I tried to be passive.

He greets Lotus and flees immediately.

Respond promptly when spoken to and quickly walk away.

What do you say, my passive!

"It's not passive, it's an escape"

Oh, I knew it?

Today's tasting is dough. Skewer dough with plenty of fillings.

But it's not just skewer dough.

It's a tea dumpling made with tea.

It is an excellent product to taste the flavor of tea and the sweetness of the filling at the same time.

But tea is a must. I have trouble if I get stuck in my throat.

"Kagura Tree, don't try to do anything. You just have to be normal."

"Ha... normally, is it?"

"That's right. You just have to say and fight like you always do."

I don't mean to argue.

It's a normal conversation, isn't it?

"... what are you doing? Another tasting party?

"Ha, Lord Lotus... what a timing..."

"Wouldn't it have been nice if I'd come?

Lotus sight sounds lower. Kowah!

"Shit, it's not good at all. Would you like some lotus sees, too?

"Take it."

That's what Lotus Watch sits next to me.

And I ate the dough I had in my hand with pachry.

I was flabbergasted by Lotus' behavior.

'Cause there's still plenty on the plate.

Why would you bother eating my dough! You're about to eat!

...... hmm? Eat, sprinkle?

"Enjoy your meal. It was delicious."

Lotus sight laughs niggly.

I make a noise and fall back on every chair.

When I looked at the flying bird, the flying bird also opened his eyes and looked at the lotus.

I look back at Lotus.

"Hey, what...!

"You've been avoiding me lately, haven't you? The Punishment"

"Punishment...?

"Yeah. Besides, you should put it in your attitude, right?

When I immediately saw the flying bird, the flying bird looked away unnaturally.

You betrayed me, you flying bird...!

I'll put a curse on your legs hanging later......!

Lotus sees me staring at a flying bird in the shape of anger as fun.

"If you want, can I really dictate to you?

"Oh, I won't!

"You don't have to hesitate"

This guy's playing with me, isn't he?

I'm a beginner! I'm not proud of you, but you've never cared about a man before for some reason!

Oh no! I don't usually change my attitude, but sometimes this is really troublesome!

A flying bird shrugged in a frightened voice watching us talking silently.

"Do that when we're alone... it's gonna be harder for the seniors to get in"

When I looked at the door hah, the seniors were stopping at the door, headed by Morning Fei, who was laughing with Niyaniya.

I feel like we're all getting a little nibbly, but this must be my paranoia.

"We're good friends, you guys"

"We're not close!

To tease Morning Fai I deny it with all my might.

Oh, my face is on.

Seeing the lotus look of the cause in the first place, he looked cool.

You look like an idiot in a hurry!

I lay face down on my desk in shame.

The flying bird shrugged.

"... both Kaguraki and Lotus Mitsu..."
