The time is just before around 9: 00 at night.
Nanhara's living room, Bud Grey and Kei were sitting on the couch side by side watching TV. The table in front of me has pudding and cocoa for dessert after meals.
"Dad, I think you're having fun."
It's Shigeji and Mariko's wedding anniversary. Sometimes, the two of them are currently out eating out without water for a couple. As soon as I told the two of them the words of celebration and dropped them off at 7pm, Bud Grey and Kei were relaxing in the living room without anything to do with it.
"I'm sure he's enjoying it. I guess it's too late to come home today."
Next to the cocoa-drinking bud grenade, Kei checks the TV program schedule. This time period, about 7 minutes before around 9: 00, is boring only with news and CM.
"Do you want to see something, Bud Grey?
"Nothing in particular."
"Well, can I watch football from 9: 00?
"Which way?"
Kei aligns the TV channels and leaves the remote on the table. That's how the news on that channel began to flow again.
"Arresting a suspect in the △ ○ district for breaking into a college girl's house where she lives alone in an apartment in the city. There's no contact between the college girl and the suspect. '
It was reported about a noisy incident on the news that I was watching Bo. The bud grenade who refrained from studying abroad somehow didn't think the news was any other HR and listens only slightly more seriously. Then Kei muttered, "That's noisy," while eating pudding next door.
"Be careful if you go to America, too, buddy."
He thought the exact same thing as a bud grenade, and Kei advises him that much.
Though spending time in a college dorm, it doesn't necessarily mean that incidents like those told in the news don't come down to you in American lands.
"... that's right"
With a little anxiety, the bud grenade drank a warm cocoa.
Soon after 11 o'clock, Shigeji and Mariko returned, welcoming the two of them back to their rooms, bud ho and Kei respectively.
"Good night, buddy sister"
"Good night."
Open the door to your room and turn on the light immediately. After the room was brightened, I went inside the room and the bud grenade closed the door with Pathan.
"... dangerous, huh?"
Sit in bed and think about what you just did.
Go to America. If anything happened, I had confidence in the bud grenades that I could get through it, if to some extent. The bud grenade, who knows how to protect himself, is stronger than the array of boys around it, and runs faster.
But only one thing remained to worry about the dark spot.
"I haven't been able to overcome it yet."
The bud grenade shrugged as he looked inside the bright room.
If you are trapped in a dark place or something happens in a dark place, the bud grenade cannot be sane. Even when I was locked up in school, it broke.
I don't have any friends or family to protect me like I did then when I went to America.
"... I hope we have to stick together"
There's nothing I can do about all this. The bud grenade sighed and lay in bed.
The next day, bud grenades were thinking the same thing on their way to school. I want to do something if I can do something while someone I can rely on is nearby. I think so and figure out a way to overcome my weaknesses, but my head decides so and smashes the proposal down that I won't be able to rely on anyone.
"Ha..."
Dark spots are insurmountable. I can't escape the preconceived notion that that's what it is. For the extremely few things I can't do, I think I can't do anything I can't do.
I used to be so bad at making friends that I gave up that it was something I couldn't. It is still a bad habit of bud grenades to give up easily enough to be too clean for what we cannot do, although we are now being extended our friendship thanks to everyone.
Like making friends, dark spot phobia might work out if we rely on everyone. Though I'll think about it that way, I don't get a good idea.
"Hmmm......"
"What are you serious about from the morning"
"Whew!"
Suddenly he is called from behind, and the bud grenade shakes his shoulder. If I noticed, the school had come as far as I could see right there. Bud Grey greets the person behind him in the morning, bitterly smiling at himself who was concentrating too much on his thoughts.
"Hey, Gejong."
"Oh...... You're gonna get hurt walking around thinking."
"It's not that manicure."
What do you say?
Shotaro said softly, lining up next to the bud grenade. Apparently, he's trying to get me to class with him. Here's a bud grenade saying, "Are you coming with me?" or "Aren't you going first?" Asking such questions, Shotaro probably would be angry, so Shotaro swallowed the floating words.
"Hey, Gejong-kun"
"What?"
"Gejong-kun is a bad thing. How do you overcome it?
As there was nothing to talk about in particular, Shotaro asked Shotaro that as a reference for what he was now thinking. Shotaro then looked surprised and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"If I could overcome it, I wouldn't be called a female hater, etc. Are you stupid?"
"Right. I thought after I said that."
Shotaro also had the disadvantage of 'hating women', just as Shotaro had the decisive weakness of dark spot phobia in the bud grenade. In Shotaro's case, the question also remains whether he intends to overcome it.
"I don't even seem to like Kamiyo-kun, and I don't know if this is the best place to ask Lando."
I truly think I have the wrong person to ask, and now I choose the right one to listen to. Hearing such a grunt of bud grenades, Shotaro expressed only a little interest.
"You want to overcome the dark spot phobia?
Shotaro calls it just the word 'I don't like overcoming' the bud grenade. I just know the best of the officers about bud grenades, and Shotaro is quick to guess.
"Yeah.... but I can't think of anything and I don't know if I can"
The bud grenade groans and shrugs his shoulders with a sigh. Shotaro was walking me slowly according to the pace of the leisurely walking bud grenade.
"... like my room, I'll have to get used to darkening places I know so well"
"Hmm.... but I'm miserable when I fail"
If I darken inside the room and went mad like before, I can't stop thinking about that plan.
"I thought I'd ask Kei.... but I don't like it when Kei sees me like that."
I don't like it when anyone sees me broken, but I don't particularly want Kei to see me. In front of Kei, I wanted to be a 'dependable sister'.
I don't want to worry about Shigeji and Mariko if I can. I can't resist exposing myself to weakness in front of my family.
"Then you can ask someone on the board. I wouldn't say no if you asked me."
Shotaro makes such a suggestion, and the bud grenade leaks "hmm" and worries. But at the next moment, a smart proposal came to mind, and Shotaro stared at Shotaro as he structured the proposal firmly with his head.
"Gejong-kun"
"... what"
"Do you have time after school, after the student council?
Shotaro looks strange at the inquiry of the bud grenade. Shotaro glanced between his eyebrows, though he immediately thought of the intent of the bud grenade question.
"... you wouldn't ask me to help, etc."
"You're right, Gejong."
"Are you really stupid?"
When Shotaro affirms, Shotaro sighs to shudder. The reaction itself was also within the expected range of bud grenades.
"I think I'll say I don't like Gejong... but if I do, I'll rely on Gejong."
Shotaro has seen the bud grenade in the dark the last two times. So much so that you've always cared about the bud grenades for that.
"You can't give him any support where I was."
"That's fine. Gejong-kun can just say 'I'm fine' nearby."
Like you've told me before, Shotaro in the dark room just needs to be smug in the bud grenade. When Shotaro says so, Shotaro sighs loudly.
"On a rainy day before the sports festival, or when I was locked up by a Lotus Moon fan, you weren't okay at all when I said," I'm fine. "
"Yeah. But the second time I had that word, I could go back to sanity."
The bud grenade stops and stares straight at Shotaro and tells him.
"It's the third time I'm being honest.... because if Gejong-kun were here, it would calm my mind a little"
That's what bud grenades laugh at. Shotaro stopped and stared back sideways at the bud grenade with a lit smile.
We were there looking at each other for about five seconds, and it was Shotaro who distracted us first.
"... I'll go out with you once. But if I don't think I can do it, I'll stop."
Shotaro says softly and starts walking again. I asked for it from myself, but I was surprised Shotaro would acknowledge it so easily.
Shotaro is moving on as the bud grenade is rounding his eyes, and the bud grenade rushes after him.
"Gejong-kun"
I lined up next to Shotaro and called his name. Shotaro won't turn to me though. Instead, he was turning away from the sprouts in the opposite direction.
Such a Shotaro-like trick is somewhat interesting, and the bud grenade spills a smile.
"Thanks."
If you try to peek into Shotaro's face and say it, Shotaro gives you the pace to walk through Shotaro's face.
Shotaro laughed and chased Shotaro's back like that.
