When each returned to the Student Council Room after work, Shotaro and Shotaro worked quietly and sometimes complained about each other. That looks like the two of us as usual.

But after today's incident yesterday, that means that the two of them are 'as usual'.

It was easy for the officers to understand that Shotaro and Shotaro had communicated their thoughts to each other, even if Shotaro and the others didn't bother to report it.

That's why it wasn't even an argument that day about "who sends the bud grenades," and Ami no lottery appeared. As if it were an implicit understanding, Shotaro and Shotaro walked on their way home together.

"Oh? Shotaro-kun, aren't you going to 'specially train' with Shotaro today?

Mariko asks Shotaro, who delivered the bud grenade to the front door.

Already in the Nanhara family, there was an equation that Shotaro would deliver = Shotaro would rise to the house.

"Because I wasn't even going to stop by here originally today. I haven't finished my chores at all, so I'm leaving."

Shotaro bows his head gently to Mariko.

They've usually been doing all sorts of chores in the morning expecting to stop by the bud grenade house and be late. Shotaro left a little chore because he wasn't planning on sending a bud grenade today.

"Ah...... Right. But Shotaro-kun also means he can do chores! Wow."

"Nothing so amazing.... because it's not like Nanhara can make the number of dishes."

"You're the wrong person to compare. Yikes! So that's the end of the chat with Shotaro today."

Mariko shrugged her shoulders unfortunately, but the next moment she gently laughed at Shotaro.

"Keep up the good work, Shotaro."

Shotaro, laughed at by Mariko, was still grinning and nodding with a slightly stiff look.

Shotaro smiled at Shotaro like that and gently gripped the cuff of his coat.

"Send it to me, thanks. See you tomorrow."

"Oh."

Shotaro has a soft grin and lightly puts his hand on the head of the bud grenade, unlike the hard grin he had just had.

That's how I bowed my head to Mariko and left the Nanahara family behind.

"... so, buddy. Have you and Shotaro made progress?

Shotaro's hindsight becomes invisible, and Mariko asks the bud grenade with a nigga and a grin full of expectations.

The bud grenade asked opened his eyes wide.

"Oh, why..."

"You'll see. Something with a completely different sense of distance."

Mariko tells me that the bud grenade cheeks like it stinks.

We told each other how we feel right now and said, "I like it," and I felt that the bud grenade itself, until yesterday, had changed its sense of distance.

But because we thought it was only a story of our own, Mariko's point makes us strongly aware of our relationship with Shotaro today.

"Yeah.... just a little bit, I guess we've made progress"

Seeing the bud grenade answering reluctantly, Mariko was grinning at the couscous.

The next day, bud grenades were heading to school earlier than usual.

The rumors that were spreading yesterday morning had almost disappeared as of after school, and even if I came as usual today, I wouldn't have had the noise I wanted to see yesterday.

But just in case, the bud grenades came to school early in the day when not many students were here.

Twirling through the lifting mouth of the 2nd grade building, the bud grenade stopped there. Early hours to attend school normally.

The beauty who came to the men's uniform came here.

"Oh... Ru-chan"

I noticed the presence of a bud grenade. Lailuo stares at the bud grenade with a surprised face.

But the bud grenades also looked as surprised as Lailao.

"Come Ro.... That's fast."

Lailuo doesn't have any luggage. In addition, he was about to leave the lift with his shoes on. Probably already went to class and left my stuff behind.

"Because I didn't finish making my graduation decorations yesterday. I'm going to make some in the meantime so I don't get mad at you today."

That's why we're going to the gym, Laila said.

Lailao wasn't the only one who was working on the setup for graduation yesterday. The wind and the advantages went hand in hand.

"Lotus Moon and Langtang too?

"Yeah. I woke up early today, only because I somehow felt like it"

Lailuo laughs nicely. And I was about to leave the lifting mouth by saying "See you later" to the bud grenade as it was.

But it is only the student council's job to come here. You can't even let a bud grenade go when you hear about it.

"Come Ro, I'll help you too"

"Huh?"

The bud grenade turns back on his heel and points his foot in the direction of exiting the lifting mouth.

Lailuo showed surprise at the bud grenade's behavior, but at the next moment he was laughing with a troubled face.

"You don't have to worry about it.... Thank you."

The bud grenade headed towards the 1st gym with Lailuo.

The gym was cold in the morning and it was still cold even with mufflers and coats on.

"Ru-chan, your feet are cold. You can replace my muffler with a blanket."

Lailuo takes off his curly muffler and puts it on the bud grenade's knee.

But then Lailuo's neck seemed cold, and the bud grenade lowered his brow with regret.

"I'm sorry."

"No. I need your help, let me do this. If Ru were here, it would be quick and helpful."

Lailuo smiles gently at me. The bud grenade was only a little horrified by the unchanged attitude and kindness of Lailuo.

The last time I talked to Laila was yesterday.

Knowing how Shotaro felt, knowing what it was like to come to Lo, I couldn't tell him anything when I looked at him.

It's only a couple of days. But almost every day I talked to Luo, or only those days felt like a very long time.

"Ru-chan"

Lailuo quietly speaks to the bud grenade, carefully folding the japanese paper for decoration. The bud grenade pointed only his gaze at Lailuo without speaking out.

"Say hello to Sho."

Lailao's voice echoes the quiet gym.

Shotaro and Shotaro's success had been passed on to all the officers as of yesterday.

So there's nothing strange about that statement by Lailuo, but the bud grenade clouds his expression. Seeing such a bud grenade, Laila lowered her brow.

"Ru. Don't look like that. Well, I'm not hurt, either, am I?

"... you"

"I'm not gonna tell you that."

Lailao put his index finger on the lip of the bud grenade he tried to apologize for.

"I told you before, didn't I? He said he wouldn't hate anyone he liked because he was shaken. I don't care who you go out with."

That's what Lailuo used to say. That's what Lailao told me to the bud grenade, who was anxious after Takimoto confessed to me.

Lailao will repeat what he said back then.

"But can I just ask you one thing?

The bud grenade puts his neck to Lailuo's quiet inquiry. Even such a bud grenade gesture came Luo looked lovely.

"If... if I was the one who knew Ru-chan's dark spot phobia number one, did Ru-chan like me?

That's Shotaro's biggest and deepest connection. If that hadn't happened, I don't know if the bud grenades would have liked Shotaro.

Because there was that connection, Shotaro and Shotaro were able to show each other their weak selves and lean on each other.

If that connection was not with Shotaro, but with Lailao...

"Probably - I think I'll distance myself from Lai Luo"

The bud grenade looked into Lailuo's eyes and answered clearly. Because it was an unexpected answer, Lailuo looked at the bud grenade strangely, keeping his eyes open.

"Luo will be very worried when he finds out about my dark spot phobia. I'm sure you worry a lot and care a lot about me. Not only come Ro, but maybe everyone else too"

Bud Grey was recalling one incident in a favorable room on a school trip night.

At that time, I blamed myself for not noticing the advantage immediately, for not being the first to think about the possibility of the room going dark, and for feeling the advantage was a responsibility that I didn't need to bear.

I'm sure he'll come and blame himself for worrying about the bud grenades, even Fengya.

"I think I'll probably keep my distance because I'm sorry about that"

"But... it's Sho - worry about you..."

"Yeah. Gejong-kun always worried me right. But I'm totally worried. I didn't even show you how to behave... so you kept it from everyone for almost six months."

Shotaro's concern isn't lighter than everyone else's. Shotaro was as worried about the bud grenade as everyone else.

But Shotaro has that personality, so he doesn't do anything to put his worries about bud grenades forward. That was just right for bud grenades.

Some people don't behave that way, it's cold or something like that. It's just right for bud grenades, which is why bud grenades could rely on Shotaro.

"So... I'm glad that I didn't like dark rooms and that I found out number one was Gejong... that's what I think"

Shotaro, but not anyone. Good because it's Shotaro.

The unmistakable answer of the bud grenade pierces Lailuo's heart, but that's why Lailuo had no remnants of heart.

"... well"

Lailuo relaxes and inhales deeply.

And I tried to exhale my inhaled breath, and I laughed haha.

"Well then... if you're with Sho, you'll be able to overcome the dark spot."

"... eh. Come Ro, did you know!?

"Yeah, I sickled Sho and asked. Well, you don't have to ask. So... how do you think we can overcome it?

Lailuo asks with a smile as he makes the flower decorations.

Shotaro laughed lightly in retrospect of the time he had spent with Shotaro.

"I got it.... so I'm not afraid of anything anymore"

That's what the bud grenade answers and gets lost in the words that go on.

Maybe it's the right choice not to say anything more. The words that the bud grenades are trying to say are just sloppy.

Even knowing that, Bud Grey couldn't shut his mouth when he watched Coming Lo laughing lonely.

"But, you know, it's not just because of Gejong-kun that I was able to overcome.... Thanks to Laila's Planetarium. Thanks to Luo, too."

It's bad to say this even though I can't answer how I feel about coming to Lo.

I know, but the bud grenade wanted to tell my favorite Lai Luo how much I appreciate it properly.

Lailuo still speaks kindly to a bud grenade with a complicated look on his mind about that.

"Oh well. I could have helped you a little, too."

Lailao smiles and strokes my head.

The tenderness that smudges me hurts, and it's painful. Still, I hope you stay by my side.

"I love you, Ru-chan"

I can't give it back to "me" anymore. The bud grenade wiped the tears in his eyes with his arms so that no tears could spill over the flowers he was about to make.

"... thanks. Come, Ro."

Cold gym. Cold floor.

Yet the muffler of Lailuo on his knees was felt very warm by the bud grenades.
