I spent the day buying bedding and two dishes because I said I wanted Lavia.

At night, I'm going to take out some food at the street and eat it at my new home.

Lavia seemed very happy when they dined side by side at the table.

(... something about this)

Night —— Hikaru thinks as he looks sideways at Lavia sleeping wrapped in a new sheet.

(Couple, sounds like...)

Though he left Pawnsonia, Lavia has no sign of leaving Hikaru either.

Since that time when I said, "You don't have to be equal," the sense of distance hasn't changed.

I didn't know what to do as a hical.

I'm only 15 and 14 —— I don't know, I do what I do (...), and Lavia acts as if she's "Hikaru's" too.

(I wonder if I'll change my mind again if I go to college...)

In this state, Hikaru also thinks it's harsh in a way to say "whatever you want" to Lavia.

Lavia, who continued to live in the mansion, finally went outside.

So, after that, I don't know how to live "at your disposal". You have to rely on someone else for a while.

I don't know anything. I feel nauseous just imagining that Lavia is living on someone somewhere ——

If so, you should have a calm life for a while.

The truth is, that's what I meant when I came up with the option of "going to school".

If I can live calmly, Lavia will find her own life--too.

(But if they tell me I'll be gone from before me... can I get back on my feet?

I was so unsure of Hikaru.

(... let's stop thinking about the extras. Let me also stop emphasizing to Lavia that I'm free.)

- It's hard to live, then. You may be smart, but you're dangerous. Somewhere, someday, in a moment... heh, he's going to die.

Yes, I still remember clearly what I was told.

I didn't feel strange and nasty.

Even though he was a "busy" boy —— her, the businessmen were also lurking in the shadows in front of Senior Yeats.

"Senior...... I, I'm dead just like the seniors said. Phew."

—— I knew it. You're gonna get my hunch?

"But I come to the rest of the world... and live happily ever after. Still seems to be" busy. "

—— That's okay. So.

Senior Ip Moon did not gaze at Hikaru —— stared into the universe, just smiled.

Far away, I thought.

The distance I was feeling back then. Reaching out and it was going to reach me, but I couldn't hiccup on packing that distance.

I was glad to hear that.

Nearest, but I wish I could watch Senior Ip Moon without touching him directly.

Likewise, Senior Ip Tsuki thinks you are.

I believed it.

—— But, Hikaru. You should make……………….

"What, is it? I didn't hear you."

—— You are…………………….

"Senior Yeats? --Senior Yeats."

"-- Ha."

I jumped.

When the night dawns white.

Hikaru noticed his whole body, which was strong, and exhaled deeply.

(... This is how the Japanese dream I haven't had in a long time ends... But I missed you...... Senior Yeats)

I snapped my neck.

(Mm-hmm -- you didn't say that...? What do you want me to make?

"Hmm, Hikaru?

Looks like Lavia's awake again.

I wake up, and I'm stretching out, "Ugh..."

They had skylights as well as a wide balcony.

It was bright enough indoors even though the sun hadn't risen yet.

Lavia sees Hikaru with a decent face.

Maybe because Hikaru reached out and held her hand.

"... warm"

And soft hands.

Hikaru took it for granted to sleep with Lavia.

I've been with her ever since I helped her.

(But... in those days, there wasn't anyone like that)

My parents are far away.

I can't even make a lot of friends.

I couldn't even touch Senior Yeats.

(I wonder if that's what...)

I felt like I had a fuss about what Senior Ip was trying to say.

(Tell me... make it. Make someone you can trust (...) from the bottom of your heart and say...)

"It's weird, Hikaru. Look seriously in the morning. It's your bad habit to worry too much, huh?

Lavia's face approaches.

Gentle kiss, just lips and lips touching.

"Lavia."

"What?"

One day (...) thought,

I thought somehow one of these days I would know when that would be (...).

(I'm not just waiting, I'm not coming... if you don't go and touch me, I won't be here that day forever. I always had that chance, but I was just putting it off.)

"Duh, what's wrong, Hikaru? Really...... Tired?"

"Lavia's wondering, I'm sure. How I disappear -- no, I keep it 'hidden' from others."

————

I told you, my secret backbone.

Lavia haunts me when I realize that.

"Hikaru, but you don't have to force that to talk --"

"Lavia. I thought we should talk someday. But it's... it's always been good. I could have told you if I'd wanted to."

"You say that's now?

"Yes."

"Why now?

"I don't know.... but, Lavia. Will you listen to me?

————

Lavia, who was a mysterious face, sat back down correctly in her residence.

"Yes."

To her like that —— to herself, Hikaru thanked Lavia from the bottom of her heart for being incredibly upright.

"Well... you talk. I don't know what to start with —— from the beginning. Yeah, well... let's talk about when I met Roland-Nu-Zarasha in the Land of the Dead --"
