The World God Only Knows GS

A palm that was bigger and warmer than Dongyue imagined pressed Dongyue's head.

"...?"

The smile on his face disappeared because of Dino's sudden behavior.Staring blankly at Dino who kept stroking the top of her head, Dongyue kept touching the top of her head with a blank face, until her hair was messed up. Dino.

Seeing Dongyue looking at him with inexplicable eyes, Dino stopped what he was doing.

"Yes, I'm sorry...!!"

The guy who touched the top of the head without authorization was more surprised and stunned than the guy who was touched on the top of the head and messed up his hair.Dino was so full of thoughts that he had been bewitched by something, so he touched the top of the girl's head without even thinking about it.

(Even if this kind of behavior is said to be abnormal, it cannot be refuted!!)

Dino was sweating from the thought that some black carnivorous beast that was elusive would definitely beat him to death if he saw him attacking his belongings.He tried hard to explain his behavior to the girl in front of him whose name he didn't even know: "Because you look like you want to be patted on the head...!! I just—"

The words of explanation turned into sophistry that became darker and darker, and Dino wanted to say that his excuse was too bad.But the girl in front of him didn't seem to think so.

Holding the crumpled top of her head with both hands, the girl with her head up looked at Dino with an expression that Dino could only describe as "wonderful".

"..."

She moved her lips, probably about to say something.However, Dino didn't hear her voice for a while.

In fact, Dongyue herself also felt very strange, because her reaction after being touched on the head was completely different from what she imagined.

Because of the complex family structure and the relatively complicated relationship between family members, Dongyue seldom has physical contact with family members.After starting a long-term boarding life, Dongyue rarely even had basic physical contact with others.So Dongyue is not very good at having physical contact with people, nor is she very used to having physical contact with others.

Kiki is a cat in Dongyue's eyes, so hugging and rolling with Kiki is not considered physical contact for Dongyue.When executing the strategy, Dongyue is also a raider who can use everything that can be used. Because she discards her own feelings and feelings, Dongyue doesn't care too much about physical contact with others.But this is not to say that Dongyue is not used to physical contact with people, which does not exist.

When returning to the "Hoshino Fuyuki" of the Two-dimensional house, Dongyue was still not used to having physical contact with others.If a person of the opposite sex that Dongyue is unfamiliar with in the three-dimensional dimension dares to touch Dongyue's body without Dongyue's consent, not to mention rubbing the top of Dongyue's head, probably as long as the other party puts his hand in front of Dongyue, Dongyue Yue will subconsciously want to avoid that hand or open it.Even so, if the other party still puts his hand on Dongyue's head... Dongyue doesn't guarantee that she won't break the other party's hand when she gets too aggressive.

"I'm sorry..."

Dino, who had been waiting for Dongyue for a long time, said again: "I didn't mean to——"

Halfway through the conversation, Dino was speechless.It's not that his Japanese is not good enough and he can't find words to describe his thoughts.It was he who realized that whether his actions were intentional or not, it didn't make sense at this point.

"Cough, um."

He faked a cough and put away his embarrassing expression.Dino quickly put on the face of a teacher passing on his work.

"What I want to express is..."

Dino's hand fell on Dongyue's shoulder.

"You're not alone. So,"

Still unable to maintain a serious expression on his face, Dino smiled: "Don't put on an expression of being abandoned by the world."

Even though he didn't know anything about the girl in front of him, Dino still grinned and said, "I will be your companion! Come to me to discuss with you when you have any difficulties!"

"..."

Dongyue was startled, then smiled.

(Exactly what the man would say.)

(Yes, because this person is such a person. So I——)

I used to like this person to the point of pain.

"Teacher, thank you."

Therefore, the only thing that can be said to this person now is this sentence.

"thank you very much."

Putting down the hand holding her head, Dongyue smiled.Seeing this, Dino also laughed, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the top of Dongyue's head, and Dongyue also smiled and asked him to touch the messy hair on her head.

In the past, Dongyue once said to herself as if she wanted to hypnotize herself: I don't regret liking Dino.I don't regret liking a paper man.I don't regret it, and I definitely don't want to regret it.

In fact, Dongyue knew very well in her heart that she had the emotion of "regret".Every time I emphasize this to myself, it is when I feel regret.

It is easy to give unrequited love.It is very difficult to bear the pain and sorrow brought by this love without complaint or regret.Dongyue understands this, so she tells herself very hard: I have no regrets.Because this is the way I choose to love, and this is the inevitable result of choosing a paper man to love.

The more I think that I should have "no complaints and no regrets", the more resentment, sadness and regret will accumulate in my heart.In the end, Dongyue could no longer control the negative feelings in her heart.Knowing that she shouldn't blame a paper person who can't even recognize her own existence because of the love she chose without authorization, Dongyue still counts the supercilious looks, ridicule and contempt she caused from others as the head of the person she likes superior.

Because I don't like myself like this, because I am afraid that I will treat the person I like like this.Dongyue chose to put her love into a small box, and then sink that box into the bottomless darkness.

(but now--)

Dongyue was able to face the feelings in that box honestly.

(It's not a lie to say "nothing in return". It's just that people who say "nothing in return" have a little hope in their hearts that they will be rewarded.)

(And I've got it,)

(Return.)

It doesn't matter if it's not a one-to-one equivalent return.

It's okay if it's not the most pleasing form.

Just, yeah, just a little response.

With just a little response, Dongyue can already dispel the darkness in her heart.

"Winter Moon. 』

(So ​​this is...)

"teacher--"

(Does TA feel?)

The dry eye sockets became moist again.Dongyue smiled and shed tears.

"?!"

Dongyue's tears startled Dino.Dino, who didn't understand what he had done so much that Dongyue cried, suddenly became flustered.

"Uh...that, that, you—?"

Dino tried to appease Dongyue, but didn't know where to start.After all, he didn't even know Dongyue's name.

"teacher,"

Dongyue, who was crying, was very calm.She raised her head and smiled at Dino in a calm voice: "I like you."

As soon as Dongyue said "like", she shook her head and said, "...that's not right."

"It should be said 'liked you'."

"!"

Listening to Dongyue's words, the shocked Dino froze in place.He began to be a little unable to understand the situation in front of him.

"Teacher... No, Mr. Dino Gabrielone, you were once the pillar of my soul."

Not caring how surprised Dino showed in front of her, Dongyue said as if she was talking to herself: "At that time, you meant the whole world to me. You were my world."

"you--"

"Thank you."

Dongyue didn't let Dino express his doubts.Wiping away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, Dongyue smiled and said, "It's really great to meet you."

"Because of your existence, I can maintain the identity of 'me'. I can be myself."

Dongyue thought, she probably wanted to say this sentence a long time ago.But before he actually met Dino Gabrielone, he must not be able to say these words so calmly and sincerely.

"I don't regret that I liked you, Mr. Dino."

Under Dino's astonished gaze full of doubts, Fuyutsuki, who returned Dino's sweater to him, turned and left in front of Dino.

"Byebye."

"—"

Dino knew that he should stop this girl, whom he didn't even know her name, but said "like" to him, and ask him clearly about the cause and effect of the matter.But for some reason, looking at the girl's petite back, he thought that he shouldn't catch up with that lonely but strong figure.

Walking down the roof, Dongyue walked through the corridor in the middle alone.Because it was class time, the corridor was very quiet.The only sounds that Dongyue could hear other than her own footsteps were the occasional cheers from outside the school building and the teacher's lectures from the classroom.

Deliberately passing Group A of the second grade, Fuyutsuki saw Sawada Tsunayoshi sitting bored in the classroom in the corridor, Gokuji Hayato who seemed to be writing something on the table, and Yamamoto Takeshi who ate his lunch box openly, Furuto Enshin, who looked very melancholy, and Sasakawa Kyoko and Kurokawa Hana, who were listening to the class seriously.

Dongyue smiled.It was a real pleasure to see these people go about their daily lives.At the same time, the existence of these people also reminded her: this is not the world she should exist in.

(No way.)

Dongyue is no longer confused.She knew she should go to the person she wanted to see.She knew that she should go to the world where the person she wanted to meet existed.

Even if it takes a lot of time.

Even if I can't think of a way now.

Even if you have to pay a considerable price.

(...Even so, I have to go.)

He raised his eyes and looked towards the end of the corridor.Dongyue, who walked forward without looking back, decided on the world she wanted to go to.

That is--
