Silence sat in the Akatsuka family's living room.

Table for meals in the living room. Yasushi and Elle always sit down in their seats there to face each other.

What comes to mind in the faces of the two of them is a creepy, and then smug look.

With that said, one day I would have sat face to face in the living room in this way and endured silence.

and Yasushi thinking about that in a corner of his head in a form of escape behavior.

Yes. That was Elle's first time in this world, the next day.

After we accidentally saw Elle naked in the bathroom, Hayashi remembered about six months ago that we had moved the place into the living room to make each other look creepy this way.

Since then.

Since Yasushi made a conflicting confession to the proposal.

It was Elle who jumped into your chest with warm tears, but she couldn't hold you together on the side of the road forever, so she moved the place into the living room in the house.

When I realized, Ryu and Aoi didn't look like each other.

I'm sure it's about them, so they took care of themselves and disappeared softly.

Yasushi turns to Elle, who sits in front of him, as he tries to hit them with a thank you email later.

and so collided directly from the front with Elle's gaze.

As soon as possible, it turns bright red again and elses my gaze. In response to Elle's reaction, Yasushi also becomes aware that his face is feverish.

"Oh, um... Mr. Yastaka..."

Elle opens her mouth with such expressions as how she decided to do it.

"Oh, um... sorry about earlier... I overheard Yastaka and Aoi, though..."

"Oh, yes, no, that's... uh, yeah, that's Ryu's ruse, isn't it? Then Elle has no responsibility."

Yasushi tries desperately to smile and delude him.

I don't know where Elle was actually hearing it from, but it's still embarrassing that he was asked where he was confessed by another girl. Besides, if the other person is the girl you like, it's even worse.

"So... right...?

Hiraki, and Elle look at Yasushi slightly uppermost.

"... earlier... Mr. Yastaka's words..."

"Ugh..."

Again, Yasushi's face turns red.

That time, Ryu's words pushed me on the back, and I hit Elle with half the momentum about my hopes or my true intentions.

As he himself said at that time, that is nothing more than my health. Even if El totally denies it, that would be irresistible.

So, Yasushi halfway got his residence right on the border of giving up.

I've only given up half because Elle listened to him and jumped straight into his chest. If Elle had only felt the love of being a family member to Hayashi, he would not have shown that attitude.

Half expectation, half giving up. In a truly complex mood, Yasushi waited for Elle's words.

"Well... I... won't go home..."

A little upper-eye, and with your face bright red. Still, Elle did say that towards Yasushi.

"Uh, El... ho, is that true...?

"Yes, until Mr. Yastaka has completed his full tenure...... I...... Ellura Zafira Filacilura wants to be beside you............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Me, can I stay beside you......?

"Also, of course!!"

When he manages to answer just that, Yasushi breaks down his posture like a snare and falls over the flooring.

"Yastaka!?"

Surprised Elle circled around the table and hastily hugged Yasushi.

"So, you're okay!? But maybe you're not feeling well somewhere...?

Elle hurriedly touches Peppa and your body to see how he is.

Elle's little hand touched her body, and she was ashamed of the feeling. She was happy, and Yasushi didn't know what to do.

"Oh, yeah, that... if I knew Elle would continue to be in this house... I'd lose my hips safely and unexpectedly"

"Heh............?

staring at each other up close. Eventually it blows out of either of them and they laugh at each other when they dull.

"Mr. Yastaka."

Elle sits directly on the floor in front of Kanggui and corrects her residence.

"Keep up the good work......"

"Oh. Nice to meet you."

When Yasushi was equally seated on the spot, he looked at each other again and smiled happily at each other.

"Right. You once did well."

"Good for you, Yasushi. Elle chose to stay in this world."

The next day.

Yasushi, who met Ryu and Aoi at school, reported that he had also thanked Elle since then.

"But you know what, Yasushi?

"Huh? What?

Ryu laughed at him, leaning his neck and staring at the doubtful face health.

"I said all that and pulled Elle back. Naturally, I'm sure you're ready for that."

"Ugh... well... but good luck..."

Yasushi whispers blushing and whispering as he turns his face bright red. Seeing him like that, Ryu and Aoi laughed with pleasure when they dull.

While doing so, Ryu looks softly at Aoi next door.

It was yesterday today. The smell must be quite impossible right now. Still, this is how I can smile at Yasushi, so Ryu heartily appreciates her again that Aoi is strong after all.

"Christmas, New Year's Eve and events will continue towards the end of the year. At best, get along with Elle and have fun."

But Ryu changed his expression to something serious.

"Thoughts come together, and we're alone under the same roof... I can understand how you feel about being the same man, but don't get too ahead of yourself, okay? I say hurry up and you'll hurt things, and don't let the momentum push you down, Elle?

"Shh, shh!!"

"Mm-hmm. I know it's okay because it's about the serious Yasushi Sensei... just in case?

Meaningfully, Ryu closes one eye properly, and Yasushi makes his face turn bright red and angry.

And an unrelenting laugh at those two interactions. Aye.

The three of us we've been together ever since. For some time now, I was going to be able to continue my relationship as before.

Town on a quiet night.

Yasushi and Elle walk slowly, leaning on a dark road that few cars or people pass.

The cold north wind blew through and the two shivered small as they stood firm together.

"Ha... it's cold. I'm from a country with a warm climate, so I've never been so cold."

That being said, her expression is bright. He laughs at how funny it is to have his breath dyed white, and how many times he exhales and crinkles.

Walking that way, a strong wind blows again, and the two stiffen themselves up a lot.

Now Elle's right arm is firmly put through Yasushi's left arm, and Elle endures the north wind by trying to hold Yasushi's arm tight.

Yasushi has a black down half coat and a thick bottom jeans. Elle has a furred coat with dark brown back bristles, grey and black bi-colored skinny pants.

By the way, the dark bran coat Elle is wearing can be a comeback for you. Yasushi, a growing season, doesn't fit the size of the coat I bought two years ago.

He was a man and thought it might be a little big for Elle, but he didn't have the impression that it was too big even when Elle wore it because it was originally a tight built coat, and the length was surprisingly just the right size for Elle, about half coat size.

A coat that Yasushi used to love and is now Elle's favorite coat.

"I knew it was cold"

"It's cold."

They both wear sweaters and other layers in their coats, but it's still pretty cold at this time of year.

The footsteps of the two walking in small tremors are slow but never heavy.

It's New Year's Eve. And we have a few hours to celebrate the new year.

What Yasushi and Elle are aiming for is a rally point in the neighborhood shrine.

In the town where you live, it is customary for New Year's Eve to gather in the shrine assembly area before New Year's Eve, where neighbors and close people gather to make a scene and do it again for the first time when the year breaks out.

There will already be Ryu, Aoi, and other people close to you at the rally point where Yasushi and the others will be headed.

"Even in El's world, do we celebrate the New Year after all?

"Yes. In the world I was in...... especially in the country I lived in, we all get one more age at the same time as the new year, so that celebration is accompanied by a festival called the New Year's Festival. This New Year's festival and the harvest of crops are the biggest festivals in my country."

"Huh? In the country where Elle was, he doesn't celebrate his birthday personally?

"Only royalty and noblemen celebrate their birthdays individually. We civilians will all age one at a time as we age."

various customs and cultures in each world, in each country.

Still, there are a lot of things you won't understand between us.

But I'm sure time will fix that.

Because like the two of us right now, we just have to slowly fill in that difference while we lean on each other like this.

The time for the two of us is still to come.

Yasushi and Elle deepen their understanding with each other as they walk slowly.

A new year is coming soon, too. And then the next year, and then the next year.

"Well, shall we hurry a little? I'm sure the Ryus are tired of waiting."

"Right. Let's hurry."

With your feet a little quicker than before, with your feet firmly together.

Yasushi and Elle walked in a firm foothold to the place where their close friends waited.
