"What do you say again...? Thank you very much."

In a state of confusion, Alisa received a paper bag.

She is unusual and upset when she is normally calm.

Maybe she's been so upset... since the first time I praised her cooking.

"Even if it's for acting, I'm glad."

Alisa narrowed her eyes slightly.

It wasn't usually a smile like the art she was floating in school, it was a natural smile.

Just for a moment.....

The heart of the string bounced.

(... good for eyes, bad for heart)

I don't like artificial and unnatural smiles like Alisa's dead eyes or artwork.

But I think her natural smile is really beautiful, beautiful and lovely.

"It's not like I'm acting... Even if it's not my fiancée, it's a close relationship, so I have a present for you."

"... that kind of thing?

"Because we're friends.... maybe I was the only one who thought I was your friend?

Yucho accidentally scratched her cheek.

It would be quite embarrassing if it were a one-sided thought of Yu String (friendship, not love, of course).

Then Alisa shook her neck to the right and left in a hurry.

"No... I'm sorry. Because I don't really understand. When asked if they were friends....."

"... you don't have any friends, do you?

"That's right.... if you have a lot of friends who eat lunch together and hammer each other at lunch."

Alisa said in a cold tone somewhere.

The green eyes were dark and starving.

"I'm not saying I've never been to a classmate's house before. However... this is the first time that Takasegawa-san has ever been close to me."

Alisa is in constant contact with her classmates.

So no one is particularly close, but at the same time, no one is particularly close.

There is no division between others.

But there is a clear and strong wall between you and others.

I wonder if that's how you get along with Alisa at Yuki Castle.

I am also convinced that I am not interested in my birthday.

Because there is not a single human being who can celebrate it.

"For the first time... is that an honor?

Yu Chong, who thought it was not good for the atmosphere to grasp it seriously, said to tear it down.

As for Ai Lisha, she felt more at ease and returned it with a bright voice.

"That's right. It's a great honor. Please be honored."

Afterwards, Alisa stroked the paper bag that Yushi gave her with love.

And looked up at the string.

My cold, inorganic eyes, like the usual frozen lake, got a little warmer... that's what I felt.

"In October, I will prepare something for you."

"I'm expecting you."

Yuji replied that way.

Alisa nodded a little before placing the paper bag on the floor.

But soon I began to squeeze... I held it in my hand again and put it on my lap.

Then ask Yu Chong.

"May I look inside?

"Go ahead, go ahead. Instead, let me know what you think. For future reference."

It was very important to know what Alisa's hobbies were now, given that she continued her “engagement” relationship until she graduated from college.

"Well, don't hesitate to give me your thoughts.... is this soap?

Yuji gave Elizabeth a soap sauce.

It comes in a good fragrance of solid soap, shampoo, rinse, and hand towels.

I was worried about lotion, hand cream, lip cream...

I chose soap for the coming summer season.

"This is a famous brand, right? Isn't it expensive there?

I felt that such a voice of Erisa contained joy and confusion.

I'm so happy to receive something nice, and I'm sorry you bought something so expensive... that's the voice.

"So, what do you say? What do you think? I don't care if you critically evaluate me."

"Even though I got a corner, I can't look at it from above.... but that's right.

You gave me something much better than I expected. That's how I feel. I never thought you'd get anything so great. "

That sort of voice was playing a little.

Her expression remained calm, but her cheeks were slightly red.

"I've never received, bought, or used anything like this. That's why I'm really, really happy."

After saying that, Alisa sighed a little.

Eyes of the emerald gradually lose their light and begin to cloud.

"It's just me. They all have stepsisters as well as classmates."

Her eyes began to moisturize little by little.

Her voice is rubbing up and her body is trembling slightly.

Sadly, Elyssa turned her face down.

His amber hair hides his expression.

"I pretended not to be interested, but I really wanted it. Everyone's jealous, but I can't tell you to buy it... I'm sorry. It's getting a little emotional."

Alisa turned her back against the string.

My shoulders are trembling small.

After a while, I breathed heavily and heard a sound of vomiting.

By the time Alisa turned around again... her expression was restoring calm as usual.

Those eyes... were slightly red.

"Don't tell me you didn't hear that."

I see. Then let's do it. "

I'll always ask you if you're stupid.

I tried to say that, but I decided not to say anything, drawing on the intentions of Aisha.

I have already told Elizabeth that if she asks for help, she will always respond.

I also told her that I respected Elizabeth's will.

On top of that, she tells me to do something she didn't hear.

Then don't say anything.

"I dare say, is it good to have the same thing next year?

"Yes... please"

But.....

If there is any reason to give her hope, if there is a way to provide her with an escape, she will be forgiven.

Yu thought so.

Well, that night.

As usual, Yuji was sending Aisha home.

"Takasegawa-san, I've been thinking about this for a long time...."

"What's wrong?

"It's a t-shirt when you're in the room with me, but you wear a jacket when you go out.... I think it's hotter outside than in the room this season."

There was a slight thorn in the voice of Aisha.

As a string, I think you have to dress properly rather than go out and walk alongside Alisa.

That's why we wear jackets and make them fashionable.

However, Alisa apparently doesn't like the attitude of Yu String a bit.

Of course, there can't be anyone who wants you to walk around in a shameful way next to you....

"In other words, I want you to be fashionable when you and I are alone. Is that what this is about?

"That's right. I feel cared for in people's eyes, but not in mine."

I could also understand what she was trying to say.

In short, it is angry that women are not treated.

"But I'm not sure. Nothing. You don't like me, do you?... despite that, do you want me to care?

"On the contrary, Mr. Takase. What would you think if I came in a bosavosa sleeping top and bottom jersey?

"No, I hate that. No, but isn't that enough? I'm going to put on a normal outfit... and just wearing a jacket will make you look pretty good?... maybe this is bad? Top and bottom jerseys?

Yugi doesn't think her fashion taste is particularly good, but she also thinks it's not bad.

But when you say that, you instantly become anxious.

"Don't worry about that. I think it's a good one."

"Well then...."

"If you use your best jersey up and down, you can go around and forgive it. What I am looking at is not fashion taste, but Takase River's attitude. I mean... I'll just get my hair done and weave my jacket when I go out, right? In front of me, it's 60% of my strength, and when I go out, it's like 80%, which is kind of annoying..."

I was told that Yu String's attitude might not have been good.

The first person who asked me to say no to bad things and no to unpleasant things was Yu Chong.

It would be easier for you to put it clearly in your mouth, so it would be rather helpful.

Yustring thought that this had to be reflected on... this time it turned out to be a strong tone, and Erisa raised a weak voice.

"I'm sorry, that was too much. Um... I know. That's Takase River's room in the first place, so I think it's Takase River's right to relax there. I'm the one who's bothering you. It's just... that's right. I am quite aware of Mr. Takase."

"... are you aware of me?

I didn't say that Yu Chong was just a stone on the street for Aisha... but I thought it was just a business partner and I didn't see it as a man.

That's why the words of Erisa today were just a little surprising to Yu String.

"Don't get me wrong.... not a romantic object, of course. It's just... I recognize him as a man.... maybe not?

"No, he's a beautiful man.... that's what you're joking about."

"Don't tear it up.... I'm serious. Isn't it a little unequal that I treat you as a man and you don't treat me as a woman?"

That's what Alisa says with her mouth pointed.

The cheeks were lit by the sunset and were slightly red stained.

Yu String nodded loudly.

"You're right. I'm sorry about that. Your kindness made me insensitive. [M] I'll be careful next time."

"It would be helpful if you could do that."

On that day, the distance from Elyssa narrowed sharply.

Yustring felt that way.
