"Duh, what's wrong?

I asked Astoria, who was standing behind me.

"... reply, will you let me hear it?

To?

Come on, man.

"I haven't gotten a proper reply from you yet, Tetsu."

Oh, hey, are you here now?!

"Uh, but that's when we talked."

"I'm not talking to you.

Hey, I told you I liked you, and I told you I liked Luli and Tetsu.

Tetsu liked us as friends. [M]

I remember this far.

Tetsu, I think that's what you're saying.

But then, remember what I said?

Let's be honest.

I remember.

It was an unforgettable shock experience.

The shock of saying that there were kids like me like this.

The feel of my lips, which have layered without treating me like a fungus and without even making me feel resistant, was a real surprise.

I was really surprised to hear that you liked me in that sense, and it's also true that I was happy.

And then she asked me this.

- Hey, Tetsu. Tetsu, which one do you prefer, me or Luli?

Me, too, but Luli likes you in this way, too, Tetsu, right?

Hey, if you're gonna like it, which one? -

I can't choose.

Because I don't like either of them in that sense.

Because I don't like that forever.

Because my feelings and those of Astoria will be over someday.

But I'm sure if you tell her what I think like that, she'll cry.

Even if it's not her, I'm sure she cries.

Even idiots like me know that even if I didn't cry, it would hurt me terribly.

That's about it, because it's a terrible word.

I think she is a very attractive woman.

He likes me something, he's so sweet.

"I remember.

Astoria, Luli, if you're going to like it, which one?

That's what I've heard. "

"If you remember, then answer properly.

Is it possible for us?

Tetsu, is there any chance that you'll like me?

Straight up, a fierce colour, as if it were what a lion would show when he ate and killed his prey, dwells in those peach eyes of Astoria.

Let's be honest.

I'm so scared.

I didn't even feel it when I hunted for Dombeye's father, fear of predators springs up.

"Tetsu, please.

Don't make fun of me, tell me.

As many times as I say, I like you, Tetsu.

Hey, Tetsu, Tetsu... "

Straight Astoria says, like she shoots me in the eye.

But the word was soon blocked by another word.

"Uh, I'm annoyed.

Welcome, customer of the day. "

My grandfather appeared from the kitchen stool and noticed Astoria and spoke up.

"Ah, Grandpa, welcome back"

"I'll take a bath first.

Still got any meat left?

If it's not enough, frost it out?

Because my grandfather breeds beef cows, he occasionally buys A-rank meat from vendors in that relationship and sticks it in the freezer.

Some of the meat that would now be sautéed with the roasted noodles on an iron plate can be such fine meat.

"Sorry to bother you."

Astoria greeted her grandfather.

"You look like a smart kid.

Well, take your time. "

That's what my grandfather says to Astoria.

And the next time you look at me,

"So, what do we do?

Meat, you there?

"It's going to take a while to unzip.

I don't think you need it. "

As soon as I answered, now I heard a man calling Astoria from the front door.

Apparently, I was surprised to see no sister who thought you waited with Dombeye outside the bathroom.

"Hey, where??

"I don't have a choice anymore."

Astoria smiles bitterly and goes from inside the house to you.

Don't forget to retrieve your shoes, which you left on hand.

And, once, Astoria looks back at this one.

And here's what I left out.

"Reply, let me hear it right next time"

Uh, seriously.

I don't know when that time will come.

But you should tell him as soon as possible.

Words I couldn't say then.

Because it has already been decided.
