Shizuku stood at the entrance to the park.
Shizuku, standing on the stairs and looking down at this one, is breathing a little rough.
Rough outfit for a Shizukuishi named T-shirt on her shorts, she looked even more prominent in her vision, where her white skin began to dim like snow.
Nevertheless, the timing is a little too good.
She showed up as if someone had set it up, but that goes without saying.
You must have been called by Yudo, who stood in front of me and was pointing a deliberate gaze at her.
In advance, Yudo had made some contact with Shizukuishi.
Naturally, Shizuku, who had forgotten his smartphone, should have checked to see if he had been contacted back home.
So, I saw an email from Yudo, and he said he rushed in from the house...
That way the whole street is convincing even though I'm dressed in a ruffled outfit or as if I'm in a hurry.
However, what kind of contact did Yudo have with that Shizukuishi rushing to this point?
One step, and Shizukuishi walks down the stairs to this side.
From here on out, I can't confirm her expression with clarity.
But maybe he was listening to our conversation to see from the voices he heard just a little bit.
More than usual, it sounded like a dark, sunken voice.
"... you were back"
"I came back a while ago, and I haven't been able to respond to your call."
I left my smartphone at home...... and Shizuku, who came in front of me blushing in embarrassment, looks across the street at three people, including me.
Even though I haven't done anything wrong, I unconsciously stray from her when I think she was listening to the conversation earlier.
You know how I feel, Shizuku turns a gentle grin.
"Ogiwara told me you were talking about something important, so I hurried, but that's what happened."
……
"Never mind, it's nothing wrong with you just being honest about how you feel, and I don't care either."
Shizuku, who said so, had a seemingly unchanged look on his face.
But I do.
Making faces so that when she lies, she won't be as enlightened around as she is now.
Hold both hands, put them together behind you and hide them.
Such finesse, even trivial tricks that no one else would notice, make sense of it.
If this were to happen, I wouldn't have answered a question from Yudo.
I don't make vague relationships good.
There's nothing good for me or for them.
If you want to distance yourself, be quick and clear.
Before you get into trouble, and be as calm as you can.
I intend to spend so far in that mood.
In the first place, meditate your eyes only this time on the fact that few people have gotten that close if you have never created someone to leave their roots behind.
But I wanted to be in the same relationship as before, at least for the person in front of me right now.
Same age, childhood friendly, family friendly, not getting into each other's core.
If I stepped in too much at all, I felt that what had been normal before would be gone.
Naturally, our relationship, our sister's relationship with her, the relationship between the two families.
Within my limitless circle of narrow friends, a single relationship change could greatly affect the way I live in the future.
I like my time alone.
Because I can calm down, and most importantly, I can carry things to my liking.
But I don't want to be alone.
I don't want to be isolated.
I don't think solitude is cool.
But it is also true that my somewhat twisted personality and values do not blend in around me.
From now on, that won't change.
It's never about being able to put my chest up, but I'm confident.
Shizuku Kanzaki is the one who understands me better than anyone else.
You're an idiot, you're saying weird things again.
Though I think so, because you understand my personality and my way of thinking, you laugh and miss me even if you say things that would normally come to mind or overlook me.
"Find someone by yourself who really understands you"... a word my mother has spoken many times for a long time.
This definitely applies to Shizuku.
Is it something that can be done for many years?
Maybe that's why I care about her, unplugging my emotions as a heterosexual.
"You know... Shizuku"
"I am!
When I opened my mouth to say something to her, Shizuku started talking to block it.
