"So you're worried, and you're still worried?

"Yeah."

Cecilia nodded in one hand on a lunch sandwich the day after Lean exploded anxiety.The location is the usual greenhouse.Of course, Gilbert was the one I talked to.

Having had lunch earlier than she did, he flipped over a page of a book that seemed difficult to understand.

"So, you think it's okay?

"I wonder.From my point of view, it feels like your sister and those two are getting along, but honestly, I don't know the difference.In the first place, no one sees emotions, so it's possible that 'you look like you're getting along, and you actually don't like the other person'. "

"That's right...."

Cecilia carries the sandwich to her mouth with anxiety.The sky above the greenhouse glass is still beautiful today.

"Well, you just have to believe in your feelings and push ahead.I don't have an answer. "

"... that's right."

Nod deep. It's normal not to know how people feel.What you think, how you feel, and what you think, at best, is "I'm going to know".

Then Gilbert is right, and we have to trust ourselves and move on.

(But me. I don't like that kind of thing.I stepped through a mine or something before I realized it....)

I know my own bluntness somehow.Even when I was at home, only one soldier, Hans, and a maid, Sharon, didn't realize that they were dating.Even though other people somehow perceived it, they only vaguely thought, "We're close."

(Speaking of human emotions, I don't really know what Gil is thinking.)

Cecilia looks at him from next door as he drops his gaze on the book.

Gilbert is not originally expressive.He was angry, laughed, and cried when he was young, but basically he was always faking his face.So Cecilia knew what he was really thinking and what he was thinking, so he couldn't help it.

(I don't know what to do with the Coulson family either....)

What conclusion does he draw when he is told to go home?Cecilia doesn't know or understand it.I want you not to go, but I don't even know if I can say that.

In the first place, I haven't even been consulted so far, so I think it might even be an extra favor.

"What's wrong?You got something on you?

You realized he was looking at his face, and he looks up from the book and looks at us.

Cecilia blinked her eyes.

"Er...."

"If you need anything, just tell me."

"I don't want any trouble later," added Cecilia.

Can I ask you something?Not being consulted may be something you don't want to say, or Cecilia may not want you to know.However, because it is about Gilbert, it is possible that he thinks it is not as much as he says, and it is also possible that he has simply forgotten.

"What are you so worried about?

"Gil..."

Hmm?

Gilbert tilts his neck to Cecilia, who finally opens his mouth.She confronted him firmly.That's how you open your heavy mouth.

Um... I heard about going back to the Coulson house..... "

"... from whom?

"From Lean... or from Lean that Jade told you about?

Ah.

After he had a surprise look, he nodded convincingly.

This is the reaction. There seems to be a real story about going back to the Coulson house.

Cecilia gripped her fist even harder on her lap.

"So, I wonder what Gil is going to do..."

"Do you care?

"If you don't, you're lying."

I'm nervous, and somehow it's a respectful word.

After staring at her silently, Gilbert softened his expression.

"It's okay. I'm not going away from my sister."

Really?

"True"

That's what I was told clearly, and my body gets tense.Apparently I hated him more than I thought he'd be gone from home.

I see! That's great!

"Nh"

Gilbert also lifted her lips and laughed as she smiled.He seems to be happy without heart.

(Is that it? But why...?)

I felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't know how to say it, but I feel like I don't have enough words.If he denies something, just a little more...

Cecilia

"Huh? Huh? Yes, sir?

The discomfort is blown away before it takes shape.

(Eh, now...?

I felt like my name was called, but is it because of my mind?

To blink Cecilia, he said it again.

Cecilia

Yes?

"I love it."

"Ah, yes............. eh?

Smile and do as you always do.

However, the way I called it was not 'as usual'.That's all, but then the sound of 'I like you' sounds different from usual.

(Er, what was that...?

Your head gets confused and your ears get hot.I don't know what was called by name or why.

Gilbert stood up after leaving Cecilia in shock.Normally, I would continue to get up, but my confused body doesn't have the strength.

If you raise your face silently, Gilbert and his gaze will be tangled.

He looked at Cecilia's unstoppable face and looked more happy than ever.

Well, it's time to go back to class.

"Ah... yes"

Barely answer, take the hand offered.

His hand, which he gripped back, somehow felt colder than usual.
