It had been a little while since Alice disappeared and calmed down... I gave up. Mr. Faith sighed and then turned to me and opened his mouth.

"... So, what happened to Kai? What, you running errands on me?

"Oh, no, I heard Mr. Faith was sick, so I'm here to see you..."

"... ill? Uh, Kai? I'm a god for once. Supreme God... there's no way I'm infected with a disease, is there?

"Huh?"

Is that it? Something different from Alice's story. Yes, no, wait, but still, there's definitely some anomaly with Mr. Faith.

"I mean, in the first place, I can't believe I'm sick on the basis of what..."

"Yes, no, Alice told me..."

"From Chartan? Say the right thing again..."

"Besides, Mr. Faith...... isn't it 'working'!

"... really. I might be sick."

It's actually supposed to be a pretty rude thing to say, but Mr. Faith is convinced with clams for the reason that he's "sick because he's working". Yeah, that's it, so, what do you think?

In a way, it seems like Mr. Faye, so I think he's getting back to the book a little bit.

"As it were, well, I'm glad you looked fine anyway. I haven't been here much lately, so I was a little worried."

"Ah... ugh... that's the..."

"Mr. Faith?

"Well, I finally understand what Chartan meant when he said he was sick. No, I knew I had that as knowledge too...... uhh"

For some reason, Mr. Faith comes up with an agitated look again. What is it? I still don't feel like I'm ill, but I feel a little different from the usual Mr. Faith.

Mr. Faith basically said the type of Zuba, so the outrageous reaction itself is unusual.

Hey, let's sort out some information while Mr. Faith is worried. Mr. Faith is clearly not what he always is. And Alice said Mr. Faith was sick in a way.

Furthermore, Mr. Faith himself seems to have some idea. I should have said to myself, "You can't possibly be infected with a disease"......

Based on that information, I think that Mr. Faith's illness is... a so-called 'heart disease' nanica. Let's just ignore the fact that I'm doing my job because I'm acting out of confusion.

But it's hard to imagine Mr. Faith being depressed or anything like that, and it's not actually like that.

Yeah? Wait... maybe... no, I don't think so... let me ask you something? If it wasn't, it wasn't. So, it's just a joke...

"Um, Mr. Faye"

"Heh? What?

"Mr. Faith's illness is..." Love Disease "or something like that..."

"Huh!? Hey, hey, hey..."

Is that it? I feel like this reaction, it's serious.

"Chi, no! I didn't decide it was... I just feel close to it..."

No, the rest was a pretty small voice, but I managed to hear it. I see, I'm not sure it's love, but does it feel like a pale love heart is starting to budge? So, if you're confused...

Wait a minute. The person in that case... is it me?

Yes, no, I didn't decide to be... but I think Mr. Faith said something in the first place that seemed like he was only interested in someone whose abilities didn't work, and the heterosexuality in question, if you think about it that way, is probably... that? What is this? Something's embarrassing me, too.

……

……

Neither me nor Mr. Faith can speak the words that follow each other and subtly heavy silence flows.

And after losing the word for a while, it was Mr. Faith who broke the silence.

"... yeah, right... Chartan's right, you're not like me like this"

"Uh, Mr. Faith?

"Kai! One thing, I want you to hear my wish."

"Wish?"

Mr. Faith stares at this one with a serious look, even as he blushes.

"I... am in love with Kai... I may... But I don't know. Whether this feeling is really love...... so I want you to make sure of it"

"Confirm?"

"... date me again..."

That would be a very courageous and necessary word. Mr. Faith is confused. To feelings that may have begun to budge in my mind... no, maybe even fear.

Still, she chose to face that anxiety, and she wished for me. Shaking my little body......

"Okay."

I thought it would be a betrayal to Mr. Faith to turn away from those courageous words or to return an ambiguous reply. So I accept Mr. Faith's suggestion.

Mr. Faith isn't the only one who has to face his feelings through that date. Because when she gives the answer, there's no way I'm going to get a halfway reply back...

Dear Mother, Father - Date. If that's the only word, I can feel it sounding sweet. But the promise of a date came together, back-to-back with such an image, in the air as if to challenge a serious battle. Me and Mr. Faith, we're sure. Whatever the consequences, on this date, the relationship between me and Mr. Faith - that change will come.
