I went on winter break.

I didn't even have any plans.

Whether you sleep or wake up, all you think about is Lotus View.

I sigh when I think of the Christmas party.

Oh, is this the maiden you're in love with...

Was I this character?

You're such a maiden, aren't you?

The answer is no.

I'm not that maiden.

So I'm not the one doing this.

Yeah, I'm more... that?

What kind of person am I?

Stop thinking about your character because your thoughts keep getting lost.

I fall asleep on my back to bed with my brother-in-law.

And a blurry view of the ceiling.

And again, thoughts go back to the Lotus View thing.

If, if. What if I told Lotus Look how I felt?

If I do, will I go out with you?

Hang out, what are you doing?

Kiss me... and beyond, will I?

Oh, wait. Oh, my God, my heart is ready...!

No, calm down, calm down. Me.

We haven't even dated yet, and I don't know if we're going out in the first place.

Yes, Lotus Michi told me he liked me before, but he might have let me do all the loving things I did, acting like a scattered asshole.

That's a good chance.

"... ha..."

I put a pillow on my face.

Really, it doesn't seem like it.

I can't help but think about it.

"Honey! Lynn!

Suddenly a bright voice echoes into the room.

When I wake up Gabba, there's a kite there for some reason.

Behind the kite, some vegetables look like they were desperately stopping the kite, somehow understanding the situation.

"Kai? Why are you in my room?

"The vegetables are back, so it's been a while since the three of us played! I'm here to ask you out."

smile and say Kate.

No matter how familiar you are, I don't want you to come into my room on your own.

"Sorry Rinhua... I couldn't stop him..."

"Vegetables... I don't have a choice. More than that, welcome home."

"I'm home."

Me and my vegetables laugh at each other.

"Why don't we both go play?

Kite says without reading the air.

Read some air! Me and the vegetables are having an inspiring reunion!

... Well, Kite can't do it. I gave up.

"Where?

"Right...... amusement park or something?

"Rejected"

"Well, let's go shopping! After that, you know, eat dinner."

"Well, then... Rinhua's good too, right?

"Well, then,"

"Yay! Then let's go!

This is how we got to go out.

You just think about it even when you're home, and it makes you feel good, doesn't it?

We came to the mall.

Kate is stylish, so she gave us accurate advice on our shopping.

He's a dependable guy when it comes to fashion.

Kate wanted a hat and enjoyed trying it on at a store with a famous brand of hat.

"So much?" and ask us for our thoughts, "or vice versa," This looks good on you ".

We had a great time, even though we were swept away by the flirting kites over there.

"Ah, that was fun."

Kate said satisfactorily.

We went into a pasta shop that was nearby and decided to have a little early dinner.

In addition to pasta, there was pizza, and we all decided to share the pizza.

Um, what shall we eat?

Tomato sauce? Carbonara here?

No, and refreshing Japanese-style sauce?

Um, it's hard to throw them all away. What should I do?

Scattered. Even, I chose pasta with tomato sauce.

Tomato sauce stands out when it comes to clothes, so be careful when you eat it.

"It's been a long time since the three of you played together."

"You know... how many years has it been?

"It's been about five years, huh?

"Wow... I can feel the flow of times"

"Vegetables, motherfucker."

"Shut up!

I spill a crunch and a laugh at an exchange like the cartoon talent of a vegetable and kite I haven't heard in a long time.

These two exchanges are no different from the old days.

I really miss it.

I think our bond of childhood familiarity, which we can bicker at like we used to, is unwavering about five years apart.

I'm sure after years, decades, we'll be able to chat the same way we do now.

Really, the bond of childhood familiarity is a great one.

I want to take care of it all the time.

We finished cooking and left the store.

I tried to keep going home, but the vegetables left something in the store.

Dropping off the vegetables that I'm going to pick them up, me and Kate wait for the vegetables as they are.

The city is completely surrounded by year-end vibes, and everyone who goes out with them is moving busily.

Again this year, I felt kind of very lonely when I thought it was over.

"I'm done this year, Lynn."

"Right. It didn't take long."

"You're a student next year, us."

"Right... you're that old already"

Exams, huh?

I'm going straight to Cherry Hill School's college department, but what will everyone else do?

Speaking of which, you never talked about that.

"What about Kai? What are you gonna do, college?

"Me? Hmm... I don't know yet, but I'm going to college for once"

"Yes... I wonder what everyone else will do..."

What will Misaki-san, Hetare, and Flying Birds do?

Besides, what about Lotus?

Lotus, where are you going to college?

Probably, they're all just like me, going straight to college.

Hopefully, I'd like a college with everyone.

We all want to be as cute as we are now.

I love shagging time with everyone.

I miss saying goodbye to everyone in a little over a year.

Besides, I don't want to go away from Lotus.

I want to stay the way I am all the time.

Though I know that's a wish that won't come true.

"Lynn?

"Ah... what?

"What's the matter, I'm blurry"

"Nothing. I thought this year was over. I just kind of missed you."

"Hmm."

Kate nods as she doesn't seem too convinced.

I stare at Kite with a troubled face and all of a sudden the wind blows and the pain runs in my eyes.

"I want..."

"Lynn? What's the matter with you?

"I think I got garbage in my eyes."

"Let me see?

Kate puts her hand on my cheek and peeks into my eyes.

I felt my gaze when I was made kite but left.

Eventually Kate's hand and face went away and she said, "I'm fine now," I turned around who felt my gaze, but there was no one there.

Was that gaze my fault?

As I tilted my neck, the vegetables came back.

Then we head home and walk out.

Walking around chatting, I try to turn around feeling like I've seen a different face, but I don't see a face I've seen.

It's weird.

And as I walked out again and chatted, the gaze thing I felt today had completely disappeared from my head.
