"The so-called protection is to make the person you protect smile, not to let the person you protect show a worried expression for you. You really feel that you are proving your ability to protect others instead of pretending to be like this." Does Tsukuru use force to cover up the fragility of his heart? Sometimes, the more you move your fist, the more you prove your weakness."

Standing outside the infirmary door, I heard you spit out words similar to what Yuezi once said to me.

I can't help but think, if you were by my side at that time, would it be now...

But ah, no if.

Therefore, the person I like is called Yejiu Yuezi.

What words should I use to properly describe my mood?

When I saw Baiyin and you walking towards me holding hands.

When I heard your perfunctory words, my eyes dodged and I just wanted to leave.

When I was waiting at the door of the dormitory, I got Baiyin's eyes with unknown meaning and a gentle kiss from him.

When I faced you, I saw your tears and the desolate "Kazuki, please look at me carefully, okay? I, Natsume Jiu, the only person I like from the beginning to the end is You——Shiranui Kazuki, just one.”

Confused, annoyed, jealous, surprised.

Complicated emotions can't be clearly distinguished.

Admit it.Kazuki Shiranui, you are such an asshole.

"There is a boy in my heart who is a gentle fool. He has always been like this since he was a child. I will never forget the smile that was as warm as the sun when I was led back to the shrine by my mother. Little boy, he said: "From today onwards, I will protect you." I will never forget the handkerchiefs and candies I received from my mother when I was criticized by my mother. I will never forget that in the dark warehouse He hugged the other girl tightly, facing the sad parting, but he still smiled firmly and said: "Next time I will return this happiness to you." Hehe, it's strange to say, I like it He, the complete him, naturally includes his attitude of protecting others. But, well~ I am not as strong and brave as I imagined. Facing him who was injured in order to protect others, I will be sad and heartbroken; I would be jealous and envious of the smile he showed for others.... I also thought about giving up, but the feeling of liking is like this. It is not something I can easily control, and it is not something I can take back when I say I can. I I want him to look at me selfishly, and I also want him to know how I feel, longing but timid... Kazuki, that's it, I like you."

"Hehe, did I embarrass you? But, that's not my intention. I never want to be your trouble. I just want you to know, and that's fine."

How should I face you, you who said these gentle words to me, you who carefully tied the scarf for me, you who were hurt by me but did not refuse my hug.

"Huohuo! Jiujiu is injured!"

Hearing Xiaoyi rushing in and shouting these words, I suddenly felt top-heavy, as if my whole body had been immersed in ice water—a sense of powerlessness invaded and surrounded me in an instant.

This feeling goes deep into the marrow of my bones, and I will never forget those days when I lost my parents, the night when I lost Yejiu, and now when I heard that Ajiu was injured.This feeling of despair.

Can't think, can't think, can't imagine.

The days without you by my side.

That's why you got angry at Silver, right?When I heard that he was there but didn't have time to save you.

That's why I hug you and cry, hug you and use your heart to say sorry to me.

Maybe this is the punishment given to me by God, the punishment given to me by you.

Although you are still smiling by my side now, you will still give me warmth, and you will tell me that you like me.

You may leave me at any moment.

(Fives)

As long as it can protect you, this kind of pettiness doesn't matter at all.

It has become a habit for me to exchange my ability and small pains for the safety of important people around me.

However, you will still be scolded by your friends.

Xiaoyi and Yuezi, who were running to the infirmary to get the medicine box, stared at my Sa Dou with disapproval, and ran over anxiously, with your hands still wrapped in bandages.

"Kazuki, you are indeed very cunning. Constantly getting hurt in order to protect someone like this is actually the most willful behavior, you better be aware of it quickly. Not only to protect everyone, but everyone also wants to protect you, Kazuki. "

That's right, that's right.Such a simple thing, but I never noticed it.

Baiyin's words were still echoing in my ears, I looked up at your worried expression, and I couldn't help but smile.

Yes, the one who wants to protect me, the one who has been protecting me, is here.

When she learned that Tsukiko and Yata were together, her expression was just surprise but no heartache as expected.

why?

When you think like this, you suddenly flashed across your mind, and you looked at me with bright eyes.

Ah, it turns out that the warmth you gave me has covered that layer of persistent but fragile memory unconsciously.

It turns out that the person I like is Natsume Jiu who is always by my side.

But what to do?You seem to think I like confinement.

If I confess to you now, I will definitely be severely rejected.

I also want to honestly tell you how I feel.

So, wait for me again.

In fact, I have always known it.Silver likes this thing about you.

So when I saw you curled up and said sorry to him, I felt pleasure, guilt, and shame.

The feeling in my heart drives me crazy.

You who rejected both silver and mine at the same time, you who cried.

The unbreakable triangle.

Standing on the rooftop and looking down at this lively beauty pageant, but I only think about the refreshing mint smell on your body when I raised my hand over your little shoulder when I got on the bus.

Watching you dance a beautiful dance on the stage wearing a miko costume that is commonplace on weekdays.

I want to cherish it from now on.I have never noticed your beauty.

See silver pulling you in the crowd.

I know.That's our bet.

Because deep down, interesting timidity and lack of self-confidence, maybe he can give you what I can't give you.

But when I see your hugs, I still can't help being jealous and going crazy with jealousy.

The eager opening of the door and the sound of panting, the warmth of a staggering embrace.

I responded with a sigh, even though I was scolded and scolded by you, I accepted it with a smile.

Thank you for your protection from beginning to end,

Thank you for your continued thought.

I'm sorry, but this last step is for me to take.

But I swear to you, from now on, I will give you my eternity.

"I like you too, Ajiu."

I love you.
