Reiryuu Academy Student Council

31 December.

A year packed with many precious memories was about to mark the end of the day.

"Bud Grey's Soba ~"

It's Mariko singing her nose so well at the table.

"Soba (buckwheat) made by bud grenades is the best. Take a picture this time and send it to him."

Bringing Yoshida's delicious soba to mind, Seiji thinks about harassing her best friend.

"Megumi, do you want me to help you?

When it came to Kei, their son, he cared for his sister-in-law every time until he was unusual.

"Well, then take the soba to the table."

Staring at such a family with warm eyes, the bud grenade does Kei a favor. When the soba made was separated into the soba, Kei carried it as the bud grenade told him.

Seeing the annual bud grey specialty year-round soba noodles that appeared in front of him, Mariko banzai and Shigeji take pictures with a verbal execution.

"Well, eat before it's too late."

Removing the apron, the bud grenade sat next to Kei. Weighing into the chair, the bud grenade exhales whoops. It is no exaggeration to say that I have lowered my back for the first time today. Bud grenades have been standing in the kitchen all day making soba noodles and tomorrow's okonomichi dishes.

"Tired, bud grey sister"

That's what Kei says. He serves tea before the sprouts. "Thank you," the bud grenade laughed, and Seeing Kei illuminated by it, Shigeji and Mariko's Niyaniya would not stop.

"Here you go"

The last Nanahara family meal of the year began, along with a bright hanging voice that echoed the table.

"What time do Kei and Bud Grey go to the shrine?

As she rinses the soba, Mariko asks the two children sitting in front of her, who decide to head to the shrine after midnight to celebrate the New Year's Eve.

"I'll be home for a while over the year because of the crowd hassle. What about the mothers?

"If you eat soba, I'll go. I have to check the stalls that I eat with Shigeji after my visit!!

"It's not a summer festival..." Shougu smiled bitterly at Mariko.

"I mean... are Kei and Bud Grey two in the house after this"

"... eh"

"That's right."

To Heavy Ji's far-reaching remarks, bud grenades reply swallowing and Kei dyes his cheeks. Mariko was laughing couscous at the opposite reaction.

"Well, what. Watch your doors."

Seiji says that with a bitter smile on his cheek. In response to Heavy Ji, who chose the words, Mariko clapped her shoulders and whined bosomly at her son.

"I hope the watchdog doesn't turn out to be a wolf."

"Don't pray!

You could have imagined what Mariko was going to say more or less, and Kei rushed into Mariko's words.

"What's a sending wolf... who?

"Oh, oh, that's it! Talk about the drama my mother was watching the other day!

Next, Gui stopped the pursuit by saying something so unintelligible, as the bud grenade began to refer to Mariko's remarks.

Then after eating the soba, Mariko, who dropped the bomb, headed with Shigeji to the shrine one foot away.

Therefore, there will be only two bud grenades and Kei in the house.

"Meh, Meh Meh Meh"

Kei spoke to the bud grenade sitting next to him, telling himself not to be aware of Mariko's problem statement earlier. Kei calls his name, and the bud grenade moves the gaze he was pointing at the TV to Kei.

"Uh, well... did you enjoy your outing with the board?

More than ever, Kei regrets talking about it. At least that topic should be close to landmines for Kei.

"Yeah. Well... I never meant it was just fun"

That said, the bud grenade reminds me of the coming roe and the bamboo. I wanted to go somewhere with the two of you. The bud grenade also has feelings, but I was glad that happened then.

"Oh well."

Kei shifts his gaze only slightly from the satisfied bud grenade face. And I exhaled deeply and stared at the bud grenade thing again.

"But it's true, it's been a long time since I've spoken to Sister Bud Grey so calmly."

"That's right. I haven't been home long lately."

That's what Bud Grenade laughs bitterly, "I'm sorry."

Until a year ago, there was no such thing as bud grenades going somewhere with friends. So during my long vacation, I was supposed to go out with Kei every now and then on Kei's free day.

But not this year.

I can't accept that happily, even though it's natural for it to be so. That's why Kei doesn't like herself like that.

"Sister Bud Grey, sorry"

"Why would Kei apologize?

A bud grenade pounds Kei's shoulder. Then Kei gently touched the hand of the bud grenade.

"I've always wished I could make a proper friend to my buddy sister... I'm lonely when I can..."

Kei gets embarrassed as he says it. But I'm sure that if a "good friend" is a girlfriend like Maiko or a guy like Takimoto who definitely ends up as friends with Bud Grey, Kei will never think like this.

"Why are you the only good-looking lady around Bud Grey?"

"... I think it's more accurate that I went into the school where everyone gathers than that everyone gathered around me"

"But there are so many girls around, but it was the officers who chose Bud Grey Sister nonetheless?

Kei looks at the bud grenade with his troubled eyes. The bud grenade staring back into its eyes also looked troubled.

"Kei... don't like everyone?

"I don't hate you. Rather, I appreciate it."

Kei says so and brings it to the back of the couch.

"But I don't like being taken by a bud grenade sister."

Kei said jokingly and laughed at Ni and Shouguan. The last real thing I smashed this year is driven by the sound of a bell announcing the New Year that followed in the room.

"Open up, Bud Grey."

"Oh, Kei."

Exchange New Year's greetings alone. "Say hello again this year," Shoots and Kei laughed.

It was time to start preparing to go to the shrine. As Kei rises off the couch, the bud grenade grabs that hand. Kei looked back at the bud grenade with a surprised face.

"Sister Bud Grey...?

"Hey, Kei. No one can take me away from Kei."

The bud grenade suddenly says so. That's from the dialogue Kei said a few minutes before it counted as last year.

"What, say..."

"Because promises to Kei have long been a priority for me. That's all that's gonna change from here on out."

Kei's breasts roar at the words. Sure, that's true. The bud grenades had also been invited by the officers for the first time to go.

But the bud grenades decided to go with Kei for the first visit of each year, and this time they didn't overshadow it.

Kei is special now for bud grenades. But if I could only have one really special...

"Sister Bud Hung... said I couldn't do that. One day my buddy sister will be... someone else's."

That's how Kei said it gave him a bitter laugh. One day the time will come to miss these bud grenade words. That's inevitable, otherwise the bud grenade won't be happy.

"But I won't give you the time to spend with Kei."

The bud grenade said so confidently, smiling nicely. Kei saw an emotion somewhere close to his vision in the bud grenade that made him naturally float the smile he always wanted to see.

"If you say that, I'll be late for my wife."

"Ha ha, maybe."

Kei clasped his shoulder and the bud grenade laughed relaxed.

"But then, I'll take care of my buddy sister."

Now I say that seriously, Kei peels his bud grenade hand off his own and goes to the room to pick up his coat.

"Stupid...... me"

So whining Kei was laughing.

I haven't wanted to see the end of my first love for a long time, and I've been worried about all the things I've been thinking about.

But Kei knows this love won't come true from the moment she realizes how she feels. I knew from the beginning that there was an end to this love.

That's why it's a loss if you don't feel happy at this time right now.

The new emotions that the New Year's wind has given Kei lead him in a positive direction.

"Will you be a little more positive this year"

Pampered on both cheeks, Kei mouths this year's ambitions.

Until the end came, Kei decided to burn in his eyes the best smile the bud grenades could give him.
