Monday.
Classes in another classroom are over and back to the classroom. The bud grenade had gone back to class with Maiko, as usual.
"Next week is the test period. I don't know."
"Hey."
Bud grenades and Maiko walk relaxed with a melancholy twinkle. The bud grenade was anxious to see Maiko as he walked.
I have not yet been able to tell Maiko what happened yesterday in a favourable house. I want to say it, but I don't know how to say it, to this day.
"Next week is next week, Valentine's Day. Speaking of Valentines... officers are amazing this year."
"Huh? Uh, yeah."
Maiko told me to take it seriously that next Monday is Valentine's Day. I could easily imagine the officers getting a ton of chocolate.
I'm sure you'll get it from all sorts of girls.
"... ah"
I went up the stairs thinking about that, and when I went out into the hallway, I plugged it in front of group D.
Coincidentally, I find myself just out in the hallway in the vantage point, making a manky voice. I can't even hear that voice, but the advantage was as if I had reacted to that voice. He looked back at this one and found the bud grenade.
"Nanhara-san."
"... oh, hey"
There was also yesterday's confession, and I'm ashamed to look at you. But I managed to say hello as hard as I could, and the advantage suddenly laughed small.
"Good morning. Yesterday, did you sleep?
"Yeah. Uh, thanks to you...?
I think it's strange to say so myself. But it was true that I was able to sleep well yesterday, knowing it was both advantageous and reassuring.
"That's good. I couldn't sleep very well."
"Huh? Daijbu?
Bud grenades look instantly worried because advantages say so. You don't look so pale, but aren't you tired? As the bud grenade tried to mouth such care, the advantage lowered his brow slightly as troubled.
"I was happy, I just couldn't sleep. You're in better shape."
Advantage touched the cheeks of the bud grenades, saying without even showing any particular shyness.
"It's not like it's a dream, I'm glad"
They say this is a hallway, but advantages don't show hesitation. The bud grenade blushed and stepped back, releasing his cheek from his advantageous hand.
"Oh, uh, I'm ready for my next class, and you're going! Okay, then... see you after school"
Unable to hide any one of the upsets and favors, the bud grenade said sooner as he was about to turn his voice around, speeding up his legs to his class.
Maiko came after me on a small run behind such a bud grenade. With the overheard call of "bud grenade," when I look at Maiko, my eyes full of Maiko's curiosity look at bud grenade.
Several students who were apparently watching with advantages were watching about bud grenades with just as intriguing a face as Maiko's.
"Hey, what do you mean? Didn't I avoid you until Friday? Well, didn't you keep your distance? I don't care what you think..."
I can imagine what Maiko would say next. Advantage is bud grenade's "boyfriend". Yes, when I understood it properly with my head, the heat in my face spread to my ears.
"... both thoughts, it seems..."
"Huh?"
"Uh, so... well, yesterday... we're going out,"
I said the end of the story in such a voice that I could barely hear it. But Maiko seemed to be able to hear what was important properly, and he opened his eyes wide.
"Huh!? He said he started dating... with Langtang-kun!?
The surprise doesn't really make Maiko's voice louder. The information was easily conveyed to the ears of the students who were attentive to the appearance of bud grenades because of it.
Information leaked about two hours ago that "bud grenades and advantages began dating" had already jumped over the school year and passed on to other school years.
"Ahhh...... sorry, bud grenade. Too surprised..."
In response to the curious gaze directed at the bud grenade, Maiko apologized with sorrow as she turned to the bud grenade. The class's gaze is still toward the bud grenade seat.
But there was no feeling of blaming Maiko for the lightness about it.
"Yeah. I didn't mean to hide it... at all"
I'm sure the same goes for the advantage. Otherwise, earlier, we would not dare bring up yesterday's story in the hallway that the unspecified majority is looking at.
It was just a little, it spread fast. That's how the bud grenade laughs gently at Maiko. Then came a person from behind Maiko, and the bud grenade smile was strong.
"Nanhara-san."
"... Miyata."
Akari Miyata came to the shoots' seat. The woman, often with Miyata, was anxious about Miyata's behavior and pulled her arm.
"Miyata! What happened when you came to Nanhara? Look, I'm going to go buy."
A classmate pulls Miyata's arm so that it pulls away from the bud grenade. But Miyata replied to her with a serious voice, "Wait a minute," he said.
"Nanhara-san, can we talk for a second?
Maiko just gives a complicated look, too, and doesn't talk.
When I decided to go out with advantages, I was ready. Bud Grey nodded at Miyata's inquiry and left the classroom with her.
I came with Miyata in one empty classroom upstairs. Bud grenades stop as soon as they enter the classroom against Miyata, who proceeds to the window.
My face was nagging naturally. I can't judge emotions just by the voice calling Miyata's "Nanahara-san". But the next word was somewhat predictable.
"Did you really say you started dating Langtang-kun?
Akari Miyata liked the favor, approached him by brokering a bud grenade for a school trip, and was fumbled.
I also know that the reason for being plucked is me, now bud grenades.
"... ugh, hmm"
"You like Langtang-kun?
I've always said we're friends about the advantages. That's how I helped Miyata. Yet it is only natural that Miyata feels suspicious and disgusted by the bud grenade, which began dating advantageously.
"... even if you like it, notice"
My voice trembles. I even cooperated with Miyata, but after my school trip I realized that I liked things in my favor, and I became a favorable lover.
Very selfish, sucks.
It was very hard when I thought there was someone else I liked advantageously. So the more painful I know how Miyata feels right now.
"Tell me you're friends with Langtang-kun... all the time, say that... and yet, like Langtang-kun... oh"
"Why are you apologizing? What makes you like Langtang-kun is to apologize?
To Miyata's inquiry, the bud grenade raises his face. "I'm sorry," he tried to say. His mouth remained open and solidified.
"Langtang-kun is cool. I know that very well... and I doubt Nanahara would like it."
"Ah..."
"I've been swept away, but that's all I'm not complaining about Nanahara. If you do that, Langtang-kun hates you, you're cool, you and Nanahara get along, and you don't have a single good thing."
Miyata says that, but his expression looks spicy. I think I really want to complain too. Still, I guess what you don't say is more for the advantage than for the bud grenade.
"It's just... Nanahara has always said she's a friend of Langtang-kun's, so she still thinks she is, and she's starting to hang out with him."
That's what bothers me, and Miyata seems to be asking the bud grenade this way now.
"If that's how you feel, I knew I was going to complain. But... really, you like it?
The bud grenade nods slowly. Then Miyata exhaled deeply and clasped her shoulders.
"Oh well.... Nanhara-san would rather be taken by others. It's a completely different distance, so I can make excuses for myself."
Miyata tries to distract her gaze from the bud grenade and fold.
Miyata really liked the advantages. That conveyed a hint, and the bud grenade was heartbreaking.
"When I said I was cooperating... did you really like it already?
Miyata now asks me how sorry I am. If I had, Miyata would have hurt the bud grenade thing just as much. But it wasn't. So the bud grenade shakes his neck to the side.
"Maybe he liked it.... but I still thought it was really a 'friend' then"
I did think so. And it was also true that I was anxious to see the advantages of being with Miyata.
"... sorry"
"So don't apologize."
"What I like, I don't apologize. But... I didn't even try to realize how I felt or how Langdo felt... and I'm sorry I hurt you about Miyata."
I must apologize for that. This was the greatest feeling of sincerity that could be shown to selfish bud grenades.
Miyata seemed to receive that feeling as well, and laughed at me as I gave her a look that seemed complicated.
"Well, why don't you apologize to Langtang-kun? I was worried that Nanahara wouldn't give a shit."
Miyata looks out the window and returns this way. And stood in front of the bud grenade.
"If you can get cool pictures of Langtang-kun, just do it! Nanhara."
Just like before, he tells me so. That's just an unacceptable favor anymore, but bud grenades were happy with Miyata's kindness.
"Thanks...... Miyata"
To Maiko and Takimoto, chairman of the committee, and Akari Miyata.
I've never had any friends in my whole life. I've had so many friends in a bud grenade at some point.
My friends in group F are very sweet and an important bud grenade treasure.
