The front gate is illuminated by a small lighting, which is usually a small stage.

The darkness of the night envelops the whole town, and silence reigns in the school.

The hustle and bustle of the students' voices disappears, and even the footsteps of stepping on the gravel often reach the ears.

She shuddered and exhaled in a small way at the main gate where she kept her body.

The white exhalation dyed my vision and my fingertips turned slightly red. I just waited for someone to come.

How long has it been since you left the chairman alone in this place?

I also had the option of going to the student council room.

But I wanted time to think on my own.

One person's time was essential to clear my mind.

I decided what I wanted to ask and what I had to ask.

How will they answer the questions that they have asked themselves many times?

When was the last time you thought you were afraid to talk to people?

elementary school or junior high school....

Probably because I started to feel like I wasn't lonely alone.

In the end, someone who wasn't myself.

I forgot that the idea of detachment was established in me.

If it doesn't make sense to feel scared and unable to spin the original words, I may have truncated the frustration in my heart as unnecessary for me.

But I really needed it.

I gave up on myself, I gave up on my connection with others, but I couldn't give up in the real sense of the word.

I sighed and smiled at myself for all the contradictions.

It's nasty, it's very nasty.

It's puberty's shameful behavior.

Even if you are aware of the contradiction, you need to be pushed on your back.

Such a weak man.

However, I have known for a long time that I am a weak man.

Being weak is not a disgrace.

... let's think positively about it.

I look up at the night sky alone and think.

... if astronomical observation is my hobby, it would be meaningful at this time.

"... it's cold"

Well, I wish I could've waited in the building.

It is pointed out by the school building side by the solitary mumbling with the breathing.

Looking back, two students walked from the hoistway to the main gate in their outer clothes.

Kirasaka wrapped a scarf around her neck, and Kaoru dropped by with a small run first, took the cairo out of her pocket, and stopped in front of me.

"You didn't bring your coat?" Your hands are so cold. "

"I didn't think I'd be staying at school after 7: 00."

The bamboo hand lifted my right hand and let me grab my Cairo.

The tingling and warm feeling spreads to your right hand.

Keirazaka slowly stopped in front of the main gate after the bamboo shoots.

Three people stand on a small stage with small lighting.

State the words of labor to the two of them first on a well-equipped stage.

"Here you go..."

Tsubaki-kun is also tired.

When his mouth slightly broke as he smiled back, he looked for the figure of the other student association.

There are no students other than them who came out of the main gate.

Are you still in the student council room?

Shirazaka opens her mouth when she notices my gaze.

"The other officers are already gone. Today is the last day for me and her."

”I see... it was very late.”

Someone's not attending the student council, so I can't help it.

Do you hate it?

Definitely disgusting.

Let's take it for granted.

It was a good executive committee that the student council didn't have to accept, so it was my fault to let go of my original job and join it.

Rather, paradoxically, I'm the one who's going to do what people don't do.

And it's my fault for being so flattering.

I mean, it's my fault.

But if you think it's a joke woven into Keira-saka's conversation, it's cute.

My spiritual tolerance is wide enough for oniisan to look at my sister with gentle eyes.

Is this the benefit of astronomical observation?

As expected of any singer.

Illuminate.

"Don't shine, if you can shine on it, I'd like you to put a little more emotion on it."

In the tea-eyed joke, Keira-saka points out relentlessly without putting in her hair.

Under the cold sky, an unexpected extreme cold spreads in my heart.

What's the matter with the joke?

What I want to talk to them about is how to cut the fire.

When I had to face him face to face, the question that was supposed to be in my mind disappeared into the corner of my memory.

Would you like to walk a little?

That's what Shinobi said with a pale look on my face. [M]

She leaned her neck slightly, her voice gentle and her expression slightly uneasy.

The adjacent Keirazaka also stands with her arms around her as usual, but her eyes are very gentle.

"No, it's okay... I've been waiting for you to apologize to you two."

I don't want a preface, I don't want a joke.

It's an unnecessary question for me and them... maybe.

My words make you both slightly tense. [M]

The two of them immediately understood what the subject matter was.

And it seemed a little confused.

Why, why? You look like you said that.

It is natural that they should not have known that they had met with the chairman.

"For everyone's sake, I refused the two hands when I made Kaizen myself... no, so did Yudou, including the three of them."

I thought it was right, I thought it was necessary.

I told myself that it was a necessary process to change the current environment.

"I thought I had to do it alone." If I don't change, the bad reputation of having no roots or leaves will spread, and the friendship between the three of them can be broken. "

Knowing that to make that change is to deny the person they liked, Marie.

I had a convenient idea that I could return to the original form after the change.

The two of you listen quietly to the words I spin alone.

I know you want to say something, but keep your eyes on me.

"It's embarrassing, I can't see where I'm going... it's really difficult to lead something."

Junior Shiraishi would have progressed better.

Nakayama would attract more students.

All I was able to do was find a connection to a network that wasn't connected.

All that was left was a good match and a turn for the better.

I know it's not my natural role.

"All I can do is think quietly." All you have to do is think about whether what you've been asked is right or wrong, and tell them what I think. "

That's what I was asked to do.

There's only one tiny weapon that I can have as a student council officer recognized by Tsubaki.

Anyone can do it, but it's hard to be unexpected.

Because people judge things by their personal values.

There, friendships and pride intervene, as well as gender.

It was recognized that it could only be done because the human nature of Makoto was different from others.

The end of a twisted person whose origins and personality are not talents.

I tried to throw it away.

If you throw it away, I won't have any left.

"That's why..."

Eyes are turned to the two people standing in front of me with a divider on their words.

They are seriously waiting for my words to be spun.

Somewhere in your heart, you breathe out in relief at the seriousness.

The point here is that we really have to tell them.

Short, but still telling the truth.

"I'm sorry. This time... no, I think it will be for a long time to come, I can't do it alone... can you help me?"

Saying that, I put my right hand out in front of both of them.

Now it's my turn to give you two a hand.

If they can take it, they will be the only ones to know.

Normally, you'd be able to say no and pay for it.

No matter how junior my classmates help me, I think I'll stop.

The reason I walked towards the answer I had come up with was because their backs were always ahead of their gazes.

So I was able to move forward with peace of mind.

Even if I choose the wrong answer, they'll point it out and stop it.

Unwarranted sense of trust with no reason or basis.

As a result, they were given a sense of trust from Makoto and suspicion from their surroundings.

Unintelligible behavior involving an unintelligible student.

It's a path that moves one step away from everyone's favorite.

I am aware that it is an irresponsible statement.

I know that it is not because I am unconscious, but because I am aware of it.

Still, I get it.

That's all I can do.

Bring in a few people from a network and show a rough direction.

From there, my legs stopped moving.

"I am not confident that what I am about to do is definitely wrong, but rather I am confident that I will make a mistake....... I think it's my fault if you want me to pull my hand back because I'm about to stop."

But still.

Words of continuity never reached them.

The words clenched in the back of your throat are coming back.

The hand I put out trembles, and the wind that strokes my skin feels unpleasantly cold.

When they finish listening to me, they stagger their gazes briefly.

"What kind of emotional exchanges did you have in that moment..."

It was at the same time that they opened their mouths.

No.

No, no, no, no.

The hand I offered them was tense, and I closed my mouth slightly empty.

... I can't say anything back.

This is how they refused to take their hands.

I'm sure they're more upset than I am.

I reached out from the beginning, and I reached out later.

Behaviors look the same, and meanings are completely different.

"Yeah... honestly, I'm not expecting any words."

It was no good, I could understand it in my head.

Normally, I would think of a different calculation stage when the switch is pressed somewhere.

But it's not going to be easy to switch today.

You can't just stick your hands out in front of them all the time.

Slowly moving her right hand back to where it belonged, she grabbed it with her small left hand.

I've already helped you on my own.

"If you think about it, you don't need permission to help us."

Shinobu seems to have shone somewhere, and Kirasaka simply tells him cool.

Without letting go of the grabbed hand, Shinobi took out several documents from his bag and offered them to me from above Keizaka's hand.

It was too dark to confirm the contents, but even if it was not a handwritten clear book, there was a lot of it there.

It doesn't end in an hour or so.

"This is a good idea for those who have been turned down once."

Keira-saka changed her cool expression and raised her mouth.

I thought the same thing because I laughed a little next to it.

... when I'm told that, I can't say anything.

But I think it's a good personality, yeah, it's a really good personality.

I swelled my cheeks as I remembered it next to me.

"But don't make a mistake because we are next to each other and not in front of each other!"

"I-I 'm sorry..."

I apologized inadvertently because it was something I said in an overeating manner.

Keira-saka nodded as Shinobu convinced herself, then she let go of my hand and looked at me.

Shinobi was looking at me the same way.

Honestly confused by the rapid pace of development.

But I'm glad they took my hand, and I'm relieved.

... I have to thank you.

I felt so relieved that I wanted to sit down, and I was as happy as I was when my sister Maple told me to "marry my brother" when I was a child.

What kind of face should I thank at such a time?

Words came out of my throat before I could think about it.

"Thank you...."

Naturally, stay true to yourself.

The expression of gratitude that came to my mind was a smile that I had long forgotten.

Looking at me like that, they opened their eyes wide.

I'm supposed to be happy, and I'm supposed to be grateful.

The two of them moistened their eyes so much that they could unexpectedly cry and smiled in full bloom.
