I was the one who suggested this trip.
Besides, Misaki agreed with me, and every time I saw her, the story went on.
It's going to be a pain in the ass to say it in advance to Yasuyu and Kaguraki, so let's just say that the two of us are traveling between men and women, let's keep it to ourselves and surprise them, oh my God, I made a plan with laughter.
Every time we talked about the trip, Misaki said with a smile.
"Looking forward to your travel day. I can't wait," he said.
The two faces we just met at Misaki's house on the day of the trip were a sight to behold.
They both looked really surprised and that look looked just like it, so it was extra funny.
We were both grumpy on the move and had a hard time getting in the mood, but even that was fun.
And yet, how could you, like this?
On the second day, I was the one who told you to fish on the boat.
I was obsessed with fishing and I couldn't see around.
That's when I heard her scream.
"Dear Misaki!!
We rush to her. [M]
She looked bright blue and stared at the sea level.
When Yudo asked her what had happened, she replied with a trembling voice.
Misaki fell into the sea.
The moment I heard it, my head turned white.
Misaki fell into the ocean?
There is no way Misaki will come to life after looking at the sea level.
When I found out, I was jumping into the ocean in my clothes.
At that time, I felt that Yasuyu shouted my name, but I didn't mind diving into the sea.
We have to help Misaki.
All I had in me was that thought.
Fortunately, I can find Misaki right away, and I rise with Misaki in my arms.
Yasuyu, who was waiting on the boat, threw a floating wheel and came over, so I grabbed it.
I was pulled up on the boat. I'll check with Misaki first.
Misaki wasn't breathing.
I'm really white this time. [M]
Misaki and I have known each other for a long time.
Misaki was always next to me and it was natural for Misaki to be next door.
Laugh with me, cry with me, scold me sometimes, have a fight.
That was “normal” for me.
- You could lose that “obvious”.
I never thought about Misaki's life without me. [M]
I wonder why. I wonder why Misaki never thought about the possibility of disappearing next to me.
Yes, for example, if Misaki likes someone other than me and marries that person.
For example, if I marry someone other than Misaki.
I never thought about such a possible future.
"Dear Tojo...? Are you all right, sir?
As I went out on the veranda and looked at the blurry night sky, Mr. Kaguraki came.
He looks at me like he's incredibly worried about his usual attitude towards me.
I am forced to smile.
"It's okay. You worried about me?
I say, trying to make fun of you. [M]
But she doesn't break her worried face.
Did I fail to make a smile? Even though I'm good at making smiles.
Is that how upset I am?
"... Misaki, you woke me up earlier. She said it's not particularly important, but the doctor said you should stay at rest for a day just in case."
"... yes. Thanks to Song Yu's life-saving efforts."
"Yes. The doctor also needs to know what would have happened if he had been a little behind..."
"... pathetic, I am. It doesn't help when it matters the most..."
"Dear Tojo-sama... But didn't Tojo-sama jump into the sea to help Misaki first? I was the one closest to Misaki, and I couldn't do anything but grate."
That's what she said, she leaned down.
Yes, she was with Misaki until just before that time when Misaki fell into the sea.
She regretted it if I had been more firm.
That might have prevented Misaki from falling into the ocean.
"... it was“ natural ”for me to have Misaki with me. I never thought that Misaki might be gone. So today, Misaki wasn't breathing, pitiful, but her head turned bright white. And I thought... My“ obvious "wasn't normal."
"... Tojo-sama"
"I never imagined a future without Misaki.... I almost lost it, I noticed. How big Misaki was in me."
Today, I found out. I was sweet with Misaki. [M]
Misaki liked me, so she bracketed high that she would never leave me.
Sweet for Misaki's favor, I pretended to be a stranger to my feelings.
And I was interested in the "likes of Yoshiyu" who showed up in front of me.
"... Dear Tojo. Me, I knew. How much Tojo-sama cares about Misaki. If you look me in the eye, you'll see. Tojo-sama's eyes were warmer than those of anyone else."
"I like you. I still like it. You must have been my first love."
"... Yep"
She smiles softly.
"But that's a trick. Something that cools right off. Hey, were you aware? Tojo-sama's eyes look at me, at first it belonged to love, but it's turning into something different."
"Something different?
"Yeah. Maybe it's a confrontation with Lotus, or something like that. Haven't Tojo-sama enjoyed Lotus Mitsu's reaction, which is strained by putting a little bit of light on me? And my brother makes fun of me, too."
"... you have a vision of everything."
"Nothing, that doesn't mean. Dear Tojo, I, Misaki, love you. If you're talking about Misaki, I'm confident you'll be watching closely. It was Misaki-san who was watching Tojo-sama."
"Tough hand..."
"It's obvious. How many years have you been keeping Misaki waiting, are you? I'm a member of The Wish Misaki Happiness. You can't just make Misaki sad, can you?
She imitates me. [M]
I laugh at her like that.
Really, she likes Misaki.
This sounds like a tough one to play.
"I'll keep that in mind."
"Yeah. Be sure to do that"
She says in the face of seriousness itself.
I laugh out loud because she's funny. [M]
She looked at me like that for a moment, but laughed softly.
"Come on, get to Misaki quickly. I'm sure you'll wait for Tojo-sama."
"Oh. Thank you, Mr. Kaguraki"
I turned my back on her and walked out, but, uh, I stopped.
And turn around and tell her without speaking up.
Goodbye, my first love...
Now it's time for me to turn my back on her and walk out.
And when I go in front of Misaki's room, I take a deep breath and knock.
"Yes, go ahead.... Oh? Huh...?
"Misaki... glad to wake up..."
"... worried, sorry, …"
I shake my head slowly. [M]
And still not very pale, staring straight at Misaki's face.
"Misaki. I need you to ask me something -"
