I feel more gaze than usual. You may just be aware of it, but you're definitely aware of it. And I don't know what to do with my mind. Everyday becomes extraordinary, normal becomes unusual.

The current situation was so important to Qian. Looking at this, a beautiful boy in the shape of an academic runner is walking like a couple in a friendly relationship with himself.

(The gaze is not directed at Akane, it's probably a boy version of Tsugumi, but Akane, who is completely out of balance with such Tsugumi, must look funny....)

With that in mind, Qian became uncomfortable and naturally fell asleep.

"Are you embarrassed?

Tsugumi shouted and Akane raised her face.

"Uh-huh...."

"Now, take a sneak peek at the faces of the people walking by."

"Uhh...."

Though I felt resistance prompted by Tsugumi, I tried to do what I told Akane.

And Akane's feelings became lighter. Passengers don't look at each other much.

"There aren't a lot of people watching us. Not everyone is so impressed with others. You should be unconscious that someone is looking at you with weird eyes."

With a gentle smile, Tsugumi looks much more adult than herself, and Akane feels reliable.

"But I also know how Akane feels. When I was dressed up as a boy, I was bullied. [M] Because of this, even outside of school, I can think of it as a strange way to see it, so I can become scared. Until then, I was mentally retarded, and I was aware of that."

The story of Tsugumi with a slightly sad face is Akane who has heard it several times before. I also heard a conversation on the Internet. Because of such a past, Akane was able to forgive Tsugumi.

"Oops, it's getting dark. It's my first date, and I need to enjoy it. I can't take that long."

Tsugumi, is this your first date? I mean... it doesn't mean anything to me, it means that I've never... "

"Yeah, it's my first time."

"Well... to encourage me...?

"That's right. That's exactly what I said. You don't want me to take this seriously, do you? Or were you serious?

"Uhh...."

Tsugumi asked me back and Akane was in trouble responding. I feel that no matter what the answer is, it's going to be a bad answer.

"It's actually my first time, so I don't really know where to go on a date."

Tsugumi smiles with a stinking smile.

"Is there somewhere Akane wants to go?

"Er... uhh... it's only recently that Akane went out... even if she suddenly told me that..."

"Okay, I'll go where I want to go. Let's go to the stationery store."

"Eh...?

Akane made a good decision about Tsugumi.

"Don't you like it? The store I go most often is a stationery store, both for men and women."

"I don't like it. No, it was a bit unexpected."

"I sometimes see people coming as a couple. I wonder if it's a place I'm not familiar with."

"No, I didn't... I didn't... I just... I just..."

Assuming that she had stepped on a landmine during the conversation, Akane became confused.

"I don't interpret it as clinging. I don't think so. Let's go."

Tsugumi's gentle smile prompted Akane to calm down and walk with Tsugumi to the shopping district in front of the perfect town station.

The exterior and interior of the shop gives a retro impression.

"Oh, it's unusual to have friends with you."

The carefree old clerk called out to Tsugumi.

"I'm from the same class. It's a date."

Wahahaha, that's fine.

The clerk laughs at Tsugumi who says Sarasara. I wondered what it was good for Akane, but she was shy.

"Do you come here often?

"Yeah, I like analog more than digital painting. It's gonna cost me a lot of money."

I see. Ah, they sell earplugs. "

It's not the first time that Akane has entered a stationery store, but she usually buys something of interest and leaves quickly. I don't take a closer look at what is sold inside. But when I took a closer look, there was something interesting.

"Ah, microeconomist."

When I was a little girl, Akane shouted when she discovered a file depicted on the cover of an animated character she liked.

(I went to the micro-economy movie with my mother and bought a key holder... But I've always forgotten...)

With the files in her hand, Akane feels irritated.

"Do you like microeconomists?

Tsugumi shouted from behind, and Akane calmed down.

"Uh-huh... I used to like it."

I see. Bye-bye. "

Tsugumi took the file from Akane's hand and took it to the cash register.

"This is crap. Please wrap it up for a present."

"Oh, do you want to give it to a boy?"

"Yeah, I'm a boy now, and it's my first date to remember."

To tease the clerk, Tsugumi said with a spare smile.

(In boy mode, he is always so fearless and majestic, and bright when he was a girl, and completely different from Tsugumi when he met him online.)

Looking at the tsugumi, Akane thinks it's a drawback.

"Hey... is Akane a dark child at root?

When she left the stationery store, Qian ran into such a question.

Dark or modest. But is that a bad thing? I don't think so. "

"When Tsugumi had just met Akane, she was as desperate as Akane, but it gradually changed. When I met her in reality, she was already a completely different bright girl, so Qian... is that... inferiority? Maybe that's what it feels like...."

To be honest, Tsugumi was more forgiving than she was when she wasn't well. At that time, Tsugumi was bullied and depressed. But he was freed from bullying, and now he's back to his original Tsugumi. On the other hand, Qian herself is conscious that even if she started going to school, she hasn't changed much. That's the catch.

"You want to be who you are, and you can't do that? You want to change a bad reality?

A gentle voice asked Tsugumi.

"I could change. That's why I'm so light. Until then, there was a heavy recoil, and now it's very light. I think it's time for Akane to be like that."

The comfort and encouragement Tsugumi gave me did not lighten Akane's heart. Rather, it makes me feel even more miserable. Because I can't believe I can be like a tsugumi right now.

"You know, why don't you go with this?

Tsugumi shouted brightly at Akane, walking with a sad expression.

Wonderland Event Opens Here! Perfect Date Spots for All Universes! Come on, couple! I'll wait for you at Euthanasia Civic Stadium! Grow the ultimate love! Make the strongest memories!

The sign that Tsugumi pointed to contained such a sentence, but the key content - what kind of event - was not written.

"Uh-huh...."

Even though I had a bad feeling, Qian nodded.

When they arrived in front of Ecclesiastical Citizens Stadium, the following horizontal section sagged:

"Lovers of the World Exhibition of Divination is being held!

"Eh... is this going in?

"Let's go in. Divine."

Akane remembered her resistance, but Tsugumi entered with an interesting face.

On the ground of the stadium, tables and chairs were lined up, and there were many people who thought they were fortunetellers. Something like attraction.

At first glance, Akane found herself in a giant tank next to the entrance, which would allow about two people to enter. There are many snakes in the tank, and there is a plaque called "Sea Snake Divination."

"Hey, those two... My sea snake fortunetelling... let's go... It's a wonderful fortune to be happy if you two don't get bit by a sea snake... I've got a really good seat, but no one's gonna take it for more than six hours....."

A middle-aged woman dressed like a snake beside the tank cries, calling out to Tsugumi and Akane. They felt sorry for each other, but they were reluctant.

I look at other fortunes. Particularly striking is the ring in the middle of the stadium. It says mixed male and female pro wrestling fortune telling. Naturally, there is no foot left.

Popular with people gathered were confectionery fortune telling, doll play fortune telling, and fall game versus breakdown fortune telling.

There they are. Come here.

A fortuneteller called out to Tsugumi and Akane, who were wandering around the stadium and watching. Gyoro's eyes, but he's an old man with a nice smile.

Looking at the sign, it says, "Star Charcoal Tamao's Dormitory Star Divination."

For some reason, Tsugumi felt attracted, carried his feet naturally, and sat in front of the man, the star charcoal Tamao. Akane also sat in the chair next to Tsugumi with a little confusion.

"Lovers, not astrology, but inn stars?

Tsugumi asks.

"Lovers of fortune also enter the inn star. Broadly speaking. I'm attracted to old, strong souls like you. Looks like you're in the middle of a big convergence of edges. I'd like to see it even if I paid for it. Let me see it."

With a mouth full of meaningless words, Yuhu waves his hand in front of the tsugumi, or stares at the crystal ball and roars.

(After all, I wonder if Tsugumi-chan is sticky... Is it strange compared to Akane?)

"Not only me, but also Akane."

Akane leaned over and felt similar to Jerassic, and Tsugumi talked about such a dialogue. Akane raised her face.

"Which one? Hmmm... should I drag a lot of darkness and lie... no, I shouldn't tell you?"

Qian can feel her heart pierced by her husband's remarks.

"You should protect her. [M] No, you won't have to tell me. That's fate."

However, the pain of stabbing Qian in the chest ceased to seem like a lie after listening to his conversation. Akane looked naturally at the gummies next to her, and the gummies and eyes looked at each other.

They then enjoyed themselves with some fortune and left the stadium.

It was fun.

"Yes, Akane, you're feeling better."

I looked at her with a clear expression.

"Qian-chan, that looked very spicy. Of course, I'm sure everyone will be able to help Akane, so don't hesitate to talk if you need help."

"Uh-huh. Thank you....."

Akane knows that Tsugumi's words are not false. But that's why it's so painful. And there are two reasons for the pain. Snowflake society and two dark parts of my heart.

(That fortuneteller... looked completely at Qian's heart. I figured it out. Then I told Tsugumi to protect Akane....)

While Tamao's words reassured Qian's heart, they also strongly inspired Qian's hesitation.
