"Rinhua!?
I heard a vegetable voice, and I looked back crying, and the vegetables came rushing.
I am relieved by the appearance of such vegetables, and tears zero again.
That. That's crazy. I'm not a crybaby.
"I saw Rinhua running, and I rushed after him... what happened?
"Hey, vegetables... me, me... eh"
I hold onto the vegetables.
The vegetables stroked my head when I stopped holding me, OK, OK.
Because of such vegetable behavior, I have zero tears again.
The vegetables kept stroking my head until I settled down.
I told her that it was a play in the vegetables as my feelings calmed down gradually.
"Huh? Was that really...?
I snort.
Oh, what shall I do? My eyes are bright red because I cried. It may be swollen.
Even though I still have a student council job, I get worried on my face like this.
When I thought about it, Misaki-san came too.
He rushes over to me in a hurry.
"Rinhua-san...! Are you okay!?"
Misaki-san offered me the handkerchief she had in her hand.
It's wet, limp and pleasant.
Misaki-san brought me a cold pet bottle instead of ice. I chilled my face. This should have made me look a little more visible.
Meanwhile, the vegetables explained the situation to Misaki-san.
Misaki stunned her face for a moment when she heard the explanation and laughed immediately.
"Well, yes. Yasuyu said that... Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Dear Misaki, I'm afraid of smiling......
"As, well, well. Misaki, calm down?
"Oh, I'm calm, aren't I?
"I don't think so very much..."
The vegetables laugh bitterly.
And he turned to me, and caressed my head gently.
"This is definitely bad for Lotus. So Rinhua just needs to be grand. You don't have to forgive me for apologizing."
"Yeah, that's right. We're on Rinhua's side."
"Vegetables, Misaki... thank you..."
To the kindness of vegetables and Misaki-san, I fill my chest.
I had a really good friend.
But.
I didn't think I didn't like being kissed.
I was surprised by the sudden, confused, regrettable, but I didn't hate it.
Why? Why, you don't like it?
- I don't want to think about it.
Now, I'm still afraid to think and come up with an answer.
If I think about it and I get an answer, I'm sure I won't be able to go back. I feel that way.
"Rinhua, for now, I need to get dressed. Have you settled down yet?
"Yeah...... it's okay now"
"Well, to get dressed..."
The vegetables are about to say, mouth shut.
And get out in front of me like you're hiding me, and stare forward.
Misaki-san has a similar attitude to vegetables.
- I found it.
I follow that voice.
This voice is the voice of Lotus.
"Oh, Yasuyu. What can I do for you?
Misaki-san smiles and speaks to Lotus.
It's backwards, so I guess I smiled and said, my imagination.
"Not for Misaki..."
"Oh. Even if I can't help you, can I help you?
"To me?
"Yes, it is. You, my dear friend Rinhua, have done a terrible thing for me, haven't you?
"... that one"
"No excuses."
Pishari, says Misaki-san.
Lotus looked silent.
"Yasuyu. Whatever your intentions may be, it's not what I found out. But remember that. If you hurt my dear friend, I will never forgive you."
Misaki-san...!
Will you say that much for me! I'm so happy I'm going to cry again.
I shouldn't, because it makes no sense to chill.
The vegetables keep sheltering me on my back, too.
I'm, really, blessed with good friends.
But just getting shelter doesn't solve anything.
This is between me and Lotus Watch, so I have to face it right.
I'm sorry for the vegetables that are sheltering me and Misaki-san, but I step forward from behind the vegetables.
I couldn't see him hiding in the vegetables, but Lotus also kept his costume on.
You must have rushed after me.
Lotus stares at me coming out from behind the vegetables.
The expression looked a little bitter.
Vegetables and Misaki-san looked at me to criticize, but I smiled small.
With the meaning of "I'm fine".
I want to talk to you.
"But Rinhua..."
"Because it's okay. Don't worry, vegetables, Misaki too. I'm fine."
"Rinhua-san..."
Vegetables and Misaki-sama, who found my determination to be firm, reluctantly retreat.
And I stared straight at Lotus.
"I'll listen to you, Lotus."
"... sorry, thanks"
Lotus asked Vegetables and Misaki-san to be alone.
Vegetables and Misaki-san looked anxious and looked at me, but when I nodded and showed them, they left the scene.
And Lotus and I were alone.
"... just now, I'm so sorry"
Lotus saw apologized for the puffiness.
I say distracting myself from the lotus sight.
"If you apologize, do you think?
"No...... But I want you to let me apologize. I'm really, really sorry."
"... why, really... did you?
I'm ashamed to say kiss, and I blur and ask.
"I wasn't really going to. This is true. I want you to believe me."
"... I can't believe it"
"... I guess so. I didn't believe in my actions either. But until just before, I was gonna do the inch stop as usual. But..."
"But?"
To Lotus Watch, who hesitates to say along the way, I listen back with a parrot back.
Still, Lotus looked a little hesitant, but I say it as I have noticed.
"Because you're prettier than usual... I was really kissing you when I realized... I'm really, really sorry"
That's what Lotus said and bowed his head.
But I was so upset that I couldn't afford to care less about how Lotus looked.
Huh. Beautiful... Did I just say beautiful?
Um, Lotus View? There's always irony in the second word, Lotus?
I felt my cheeks get hot. But suppress reddening your cheeks with guts.
'Cause if I blush here and now, I feel like losing. I don't know what to lose.
Even if I dyed my cheeks red here, I wouldn't notice Lotus looking down. I couldn't even turn my head.
I desperately calmed my feelings and saw the lotus sight in front of me.
Here, I realize Lotus is bowing my head.
That lotus look is lowering its head to me.
I panic and speak to Lotus Watch.
"Please raise your face, Master Lotus"
"But"
"Please, raise your face"
You can't let Lotus Look keep your head down forever.
When I asked him to look up again, Lotus looked up like he was reluctant.
So I looked at Lotus's face again and noticed that Lotus's left cheek was red and swollen.
Why? Think about it, and I'll think of it right away.
This is the mark I slapped.
I touched Lotus View's cheek, which was softly red.
"You're turning red..."
"... oh"
"But I won't apologize. I don't think I did anything wrong."
"That's fine. I don't think I've done anything wrong either. I think that's about as natural as this."
Lotus looked straight at me and ran out of words.
Really, he seems to take this for granted.
I smiled unknowingly at such a lotus look.
"If you're sorry, you can hit me as much as you want. That's what I did for granted."
"Dear Lotus Seeing... Then let me sweeten your words. Meditate your eyes."
Lotus eyes close quietly.
I hit the slightly cold pet bottle in my hand on the reddish cheek without bintering as much as I could towards Lotus View's cheek.
Lotus opened her eyes and looked at me seriously.
"Why...?
"I'm weak. My power alone is very much beyond my mind. So instead of hitting me, I'll charge you something different."
"Something different?
"Yeah. Give me the cake. Lord Lotus made his own cake, I'll charge you. I want to heal my broken heart with something sweet."
"... is that okay?
"Yes."
As I nodded, Lotus smiled pitifully. And I said, "You're sweet."
I know that.
But what else am I supposed to do? 'Cause you can't help it.
I can't help but think that I've done it already. So I'll compromise you with the cake.
"Instead, if it's not as delicious as I admire it, I won't forgive you."
"... ok. I'll make a cake that'll make you roar."
That said Lotus smiled softly.
I am blinded by such a lotus look.
A beating that doesn't stop pounding.
I want to look away, but I don't want to look away. Such a strangely conflicting feeling.
What the hell is this feeling, what?
I want to know. But I don't want to know.
Pretending not to notice how I felt, I gently took my gaze off Lotus.
