"Peach...... nice to meet you again, I'm Sissimi"

"Is... nice to meet you... Peach... Uh... sissimi... honey...?

"There's no need for doubt shapes. Don't hesitate to call me"

While I was a little nervous about my actions for the first time in my life, I heard Peach.

You're nervous over there, too, your voice was shaking just a little. At the very least, I take care to be as gentle as possible with my voice tone so that they don't get nervous.

No... but... Peach's voice is so cute...

What is this voice... a voice you can hear all night. A whispering and soothing voice...... Are you calling this Whisper Voice? It's a voice I'll never get out of.

I was immersed in an emotion for only a moment that I was cute... but let's leave that emotion alone for one second...

Anyway, you took it from me, so I need to talk to Peach properly.

Since Peach accepted the voice call, I was able to initiate a call with her despite all the hard work of operating an unfamiliar app. She has never even done this with Yangshin... she seems to have had her first experience too.

"I'm sorry, I can't believe I'm calling all of a sudden... I felt it was kind of hard to convey my feelings just the letters... and I wanted to talk to him directly."

"Yes, no... I'm a little... I'm kind of horrified to hear Sichimi's voice. Sichimi's voice, it's so beautiful... it's kind of clear as glass"

To a very poetic and beautiful expression, my cheeks get just a little hot. You've never been praised for your voice like this...

"What are you talking about, Peach? Your voice is so cute and I envy you. If I'm glass... I don't know what Peach is... sorry, a good representation doesn't come to mind for me... Like whispering...... is that the sound of a bell? Anyway, pretty voice!

"No... I can't believe I'm so... cute... I've never been told..."

We praise each other's voices and laugh softly at each other to see if the tension has eased.

I almost fell asleep in bed over there. I'd love to see it, and I don't think I can speak very loud... but that laugh was still cute too.

After a little laughter, just a little silence flows. So I confirm what I said earlier.

"Peach... you liked Canyon..."

Dangerously I set Yangshin's name on my mouth as usual, but I manage to keep it pressed to correct his name.

"... I'm sorry... even if I say this... it just puts you in trouble"

"Don't apologize, I'm not in trouble... Besides... I respect Peach."

"Respect... no... me..."

Something about me... or something like that overlaps Yangshin where we just met.

Maybe Yangshin and Peach are similar... that's why Peach was attracted to Yangshin.

If you think I've interrupted there, I'm sorry......

"I respect that. 'Cause the boy I liked had a girlfriend... and he said he could support it... and I could never... Peach is sweet, cute, and... she's a respectable girl."

"You're not mad at me? I like Sichimi about him... and he was against socializing with me..."

"There's nothing to be mad about, is there? 'Cause I would disagree in the opposite position. I would be jealous if they told me that someone I liked was confessed... that's the natural reaction."

"... thank you, Sichimi. … I think I understand why Mr. Canyon likes Sichimi…"

In my words...... I just found Peach's voice with a touch of relief color and tenderness in it. At the same time, a slight tingling pain sting my heart.

"Peach, you know Canyon you don't know me, do you? I want you to tell me about it. What is he like in the game?

"Uh... right... I'm the one... I hardly had any friends at school... and there was one person... So... I started the game on the smartphone you bought me."

I wonder if the neighborhood is the same as Yangshin. Once Yangshin, I was as good as I knew his name... he was a big, inconspicuous boy... and I hardly ever saw him with anyone.

"That's where I met Mr. Canyon. At first, I didn't like anything, I kind of thought my remarks looked like mine."

"Similar...... or maybe I can figure it out somehow. Is it because we're both in a big family?

"... but what was decidedly different... was that I thought it was hard not to have many friends at school... and Mr. Canyon didn't think anything of that."

"What... didn't you think?

I was intrigued by the slightly disturbing remark. Peach told me the word Yangshin once said as it were.

"Yeah, he told me... 'You don't have to force me to make friends at school, this is how I can make friends in the game, and even in a different environment... I don't think you need to worry about not having many friends, do you? I consider Mr. Peach my friend, but how about Mr. Peach?' He told me. '"

"Ah... I do think I'm going to say it..."

That was one side of him I don't know, but I don't know what it is, I laugh just a little crunchy the way I can easily imagine it then. She gets followed and laughs, and then goes on with the words.

"I guess it was a word that was nothing to him...... I felt saved when I heard it. I don't have many friends in middle school and I can't get into everyone's circle... I thought you said it was okay..."

"So... I liked Canyon..."

So once he interrupts the words, Peach takes a deep breath and then reveals himself to me in his heart. You would be very brave, against me, for revealing everything.

"That's what triggered it...... right? Then his words stopped in my eyes and I enjoyed chatting with him...... Mr. Canyon's words made life at school less painful... and when I realized it, I liked it."

Her words were adorable to say as illuminated. But... in the next moment, that word turns into an unsettling object.

"... weird, right? I was just saved by his casual words...... Mr. Canyon's face, his real name, where he lives..., even though he says he doesn't know everything... I even say I don't know if I'm really a guy in the first place...... I'm starting to like Mr. Canyon."

One of those anxious words was going to disappear even now, coupled with her adorable voice color. So I give a response without getting a haircut into her words.

"It's not weird."

Just one short word, I'll tell her first. Yes, she's not weird about anything. There's no way it's weird to say you like people, even if you don't know their faces or their names.

So I keep telling her, to reassure her.

"It's not weird. He said he didn't know his face, his name, his personality, where he lived... there's nothing weird about liking people."

Yangshin remained like him even in the game. So I can't tell her it's weird, and I can't even think it's weird.

Because I was.

This kid says he's a junior high student... but he has a bigger idea than I do.

If that's how she revealed herself to me in her heart...... I also thought that revealing herself in my heart would be a courtesy to her.

Like her, I take one big, deep breath too.

What I'm going to say now... is something I haven't even told Yangxin. Maybe this will make Peach hate me, still I... only wanted to be honest with her about it.

"Peach, it wasn't until I confessed to him that I liked Canyon. I don't know anything about him... I like him later."

It conveys taking Peach's breath. Did I surprise you pretty much? But...... I tell her my own secrets so I can live up to her feelings.

"Will you listen to me? I confessed to Canyon... not because I liked him. I'm in the opposite order... I confess to him and then I like him... 'Cause... what I confessed was... a punitive game... was a lie"

Then, she was listening to my words in silence. I can't help being despised for that word of mine...... how will she react...... nervous and weird sweat coming out of her body.

And silence as if it were eternity...... her words break.

"Oh no... why... why would you... tell me that?! If I... told Mr. Canyon that... what would you do?!"

The words were trembling like squeezing out.

Right, there was that possibility... but more than that possibility, as girls who liked the same person to each other... I sincerely wanted to face her.

"... I really thought it would be rude if I didn't give it back, too, as Peach really hit me. So Peach... don't worry about how you felt about me or... what you were against socializing... Because I'm all bad.... you should apologize... it's mine."

So I put it down for a beat or so and then correct my posture. I don't see it over there, but it's just a matter of my feelings. And I told her the words of my apology.

"Sorry. Peach."

"Sichimi..."

Her voice trembled and I could see her crying. In the end, I'm ashamed of myself for making me cry. To keep me from doing that, I made it audio......

The truth is, Yangshin was supposed to be the first to tell this apology... but whatever happens here, I have no regrets. Whatever she did that made me like the same person, I was going to accept it.

"... Sissimi... now you like Mr. Canyon, don't you?

"Yeah, I love it...... I love it. I'm liking it more and more as we spend time together."

"... then why... do that to me...... What would you do if I was cheating..."

"If you're Peach, you won't regret what you've done.... Besides, what I just said... on my first anniversary of dating, I'm going to tell Canyon. I'm going to tell you everything, apologize, confess again... and entrust Canyon with what to do."

"Oh no... why don't you shut up... why bother... doing that..."

"That's how I attach my kejime... So that's why..."

I say those words to her so that I can see them and get away with them just a little.

"So, Peach...... If I get flabbergasted... about Canyon-kun, say hello?

There was only one tear on my cheek.

Because of the lack of sympathy for her and the tightening of her chest imagining that time. But only the words were bright. I'm glad this is just audio......

To me like that, she had a very bright voice too...... she gave me words of encouragement

"It's okay... he said it wouldn't happen... because I guarantee it. Sichimi... I'm just waiting for a happy report. Today is a secret between girls."

To that word, which has no respect, as if to a child my age...... I am glad. The back of my chest twitches and warms up, and I'm overflowing with thoughts different from when I'm talking to Yangshin.

"... Peach, about me... will you forgive me?

"Yeah, 'cause Sissimi forgave me, too, didn't she? It's not like... but I forgive you, too, Sichimi. Now we're... friends.... Ah, were you busy with older people...?

Suddenly it was only the last time I saluted her. Something was wrong with her and I tell her with a laugh.

"Yeah... I'm glad... Peach... we're friends. So I'm glad you don't use respectful language. Thanks...... Peach."

"... thank you, Sichimi"

We thank each other. I don't even know my face, my real name, where I live, or the school I go to... but we could be friends. That's a little strange... but I was feeling like you just expanded my world a little again.

Then, me and Peach just kept chatting for a little while. From the story of Yang Shin to the story of no other love... all sorts of things. It's too late, it's really only for a little while.

"A good boy like Peach says he doesn't have many friends at school... that's incredible..."

"Me, because I'm not good at going from myself... But you know, thanks to Mr. Canyon, it made me feel easier... and some of us got along. So now school's a little fun."

Oh well... thanks to Yangshin... I'm glad to hear that. I don't know... thanks to Peach, you're dying to talk to Yangshin again... No, let's go to sleep like this today......

"Sichimi. Talk to Mr. Canyon after this, okay? Oh, not our secret story... it just means we're not talking, right?

"... Huh?

As I guessed my thoughts like that, Peach told me to talk to Yangxin.

"... Sissimi. I had a lot going on today. I knew I'd end up talking to someone I loved. If Sichimi would do that... I think I could finally separate this love from the thought that I was smoking because I had to move forward."

"... if I... as such... is that okay?

"Yeah.... let me congratulate you both on being happy. Well then... good night, Cicchimi."

"... thanks. Good night, Peach."

When I finished my call with Peach, I immediately called Yangshin.

Could it be he's asleep already? Isn't it a little late and annoying? I've been thinking about that, but I'm so thankful for Peach, I couldn't stop.

As the call keeps ringing, my feelings roar like the first time I make a phone call about what I'm going to tell him when he answers the phone.

That, needless to say, may be something. Eventually the call stops and the voice of Yangshin is heard.

So I... didn't waste Peach's thoughts, so I just honestly told him how I feel now.
