That nanny, rotten!

, Of course it is!Because...Xiaomei, she dated me first..." It can be seen that Xiao Haidai is a little hesitant, it must be that he is still worrying about the [secret relationship] agreement until now, thinking of this, it makes my chest puff up Tighten hard.

When she gracefully walked to my side, Narcissus stretched out her hand to hug me manfully and leaned against her chest. On the surface, she seemed to want to prove to Kirihara who was the real master, but secretly she used this posture to follow me at close range. I bit my ear, "Would you like to explain what's going on?"

"What he said was true."

"Oh~ the real boyfriend is here, do you need this impostor, my uncle, to come forward and make it clear?"

"...No need, you can cooperate obediently later, and I can solve the rest by myself..."

Gently standing on tiptoe, kissed the side of Narcissus pretending to be intimate, smiled sweetly at him who was almost puzzled, waved his hand and watched him leave, then turned around and walked towards the little kelp with a wounded face.

"The thing is what you see, I'm with Jing Wu."

"Hey?! Why...don't you plan to explain? As long as you tell me, I will believe it!"

"!!..." I looked up and down this boy from [Planet of Innocence], I really couldn't bear to hurt him any more, so I had to—"There's a game tomorrow, go back!" Reach out for my hand, avoid his candid gaze piercing my heart.

"Xiaomei...?"

"...Already, enough!"

"Eh……?"

"It doesn't matter if you're in a relationship or if you like it... That kind of childish love game like playing a monkey... There is no need to drag it on for a whole month, let it end as soon as possible!"

'Why?Why did you say such words suddenly? 'I saw Kirihara's bewildered eyes shouting like this, "Rationale...what's the reason?"

"...If you know the reason, can you accept it?" I responded with ruthless eyes and pretended indifference, "Do you have to say it so clearly before you understand?... I'm tired of it. "

'Just because of this? 'The cruel words made his last strength disappear. It was [tiredness] and not any other reason, so any recovery would be futile. "It's only a month...can't you hold on...?"

"I'm sorry, I've reached the limit." Kirihara's dimming eyes made me feel a throbbing pain in my chest. I did too much to him.

"...Why do you apologize?"

"Because, from the very beginning, I promised to associate with Kirihara for a purpose." With nails embedded in the skin of my palm, I made up my mind to tell a compiled lie, "...I like Atobe-senpai, from the time I transferred to Hyodi I fell in love with him right away, but I couldn't be sure of his intentions... So the moment Chiye confessed to me, I decided to use you to test his feelings for me—I'm finally with the person I like the most We're together, although I'm sorry Chiya, although I'm self-willed, can you please stop interfering with my happiness?" I couldn't face it, I was such an asshole when I said such heartless words, obviously I just wanted to protect him .

Xin, couldn't help smiling bitterly.

As long as you like someone, you will start to become blind, even the shortcomings of the other person will be subjectively beautified at will, and then you will feel that the person is impeccable, and then you will admire him more and more, and you can't extricate yourself-wrong love is like For an illness, late treatment is not as good as early treatment. Keeping Kirihara away from me before he sinks deeper is the most immediate cure.

The reason is as simple as that, but rationality can't numb emotions, the kind of smiling and stupid faces that think that you will never see Xiaokelp again, you can't mess up his kelp hair and watch him go crazy, and you can't talk to him anymore. Let's challenge 10 bowls of [Super Delicious] ramen together, and I can no longer chat, laugh, and make jokes... I feel so uncomfortable, so lonely...

"... Xiaomei... don't show that expression, please!"

"Chi...also...?"

"Just for a moment, that's it... just now, please allow me to do this! Then, I can give up completely..."

Plop!Plop! ——The heart was beating so violently that it was almost unbearable, the body was tightly hugged, it was so hot, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." I couldn't find anything to say, I could only repeat this sentence crazily in my heart.

"It's me who should apologize—because I'm the one who proposed to date without permission, and... I didn't confess to you just to see Xiaomei showing such an expression..." The boy's arm is so strong, let I recalled the night when I was kissed by him. In fact, he was different, different from Xie Rengsao’s snake-like coldness, warm enough to make me almost cry—it wasn’t him that I hated or feared. , but escaped because of fear of the past, and dared not face his feelings.

"I like Xiaomei, no, I used to like it...but I will try my best to forget, just like Xiaomei hopes, forget everything."

"..." I looked back at the child, his resolute and tragic words made me unable to answer.

As a result, I still choose to keep my heart in the haze of the past, afraid of suffering the pain that I may encounter in the future. Maybe time will heal all this, but I know very well that it has not yet.

The me now is not worthy of the little kelp who is going forward bravely, so no matter how sad or pitiful he is now, I must let go. He has no reason to accompany me and stagnate.

"...Then, let's pretend that nothing happened, and come back with Xiaomei, we are still good friends, let's go back..." He whispered softly, opened his arms like a bird flying, and let go of me, With a bitter smile that was uglier than crying, he turned and walked away without looking back, and disappeared into my field of vision.

Yes, my good friend, the handsome and innocent little kelp, compared to an aunt like me who dare not even have expectations for the future, a cute little girl of the same age is definitely more suitable for you.As long as you can try and look at people other than me, no matter how good you are, it won't be a problem...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't remember what I did after ruthlessly driving Kirihara away. When I came back to my senses, I was sitting in [a certain cafeteria] (like [super delicious] ramen, it is called [a certain restaurant] 】Canteen!) on the bar table, his eyes stared blankly at the distiller's lees juice and the oversized takoyaki in front of him.

It turns out that it would be so sad to get rid of others?I always thought that only the one who was abandoned like a shoe would be heartbroken, such as me to Xie Rengsai.Then when he abandoned me, did he feel a little sad like this, this kind of pain that seems to be able to tear his chest apart out of thin air——

"Jiu~chan~" This frivolous tone is the brand name of Kansai Wolf. Of course, if you are in Kanagawa, you have to wonder if it is Nioh-kun's COS, but this is Tokyo.

"Here is it?" It turns out that there really is, this kind of trance is so absent-minded that I don't necessarily know that I have been sold out, and I didn't notice it at all. When did I start to come to this place with Mr. Wolf?

"Hey~ It's my newly developed virgin land..." Virgin land or something, even if you say that, I can't understand it! "...Here, there is an authentic blue swordfish dish that is hard to find in the entire Kanto~ As a Kansai native, Jiu-chan should also like it-hey, are you crazy?! Put so much Wasabi, can this takoyaki still be eaten?!"

"It's so spicy...it's too spicy...beast! It's so spicy that I burst into tears...it's so spicy..." The strong and stimulating smell of wasabi, which was not touched on weekdays, rushed up, and the last line of defense that I had been holding on to before was instantly I was defeated, salty tears poured down like rain, whether it was the astringent touch on the tongue buds or the various emotions welling up in my chest that stirred up the tear glands, I deliberately wanted to blur them out.

"In the end, you told Atobe that you can handle it well, and the result is a breakup?" Is it because I am too easy to guess, or Mr. Wolf understands women too well?

...In the end, I told Yushi all about breaking up with Kelp. Of course, I avoided the real reason, and just said that after trying to date him for a while, my feelings for him still couldn't be upgraded from a best friend to a relationship between a man and a woman. Love and so on.

"Although I don't think this is Jiu-chan's sincere words..." Hey!Yushita was indeed very perceptive, "...But, no matter what secrets there are, as long as Jiu-chan feels that his choice is right, wouldn't it be fine? Hey~ I said, if you cry, it's detoxification. In this case Alcohol is the best way to drown your sorrows, but you are underage, so let’s use wine lees juice instead~ CHEERS!”

After toasting, of course, I had to take a big sip first, and found out that this thing is the best fermented rice, but it should be a little sweeter. I didn't expect that such a commoner thing would be liked by that romantic gentleman. But then again—

"Youshi already knew? I pretended to be the heroine of the kissing photo to hide the relationship between Erina-san and Atobe-senpai..."

"The mess left by that messy older sister, as a younger brother, I have to help him clean up, so I stayed here to comfort you~"

"Huh?" It's because of that, that's right, otherwise, why would that pervert care about me, who doesn't have long legs and looks like a childhood sweetheart (Author: Kumiko, are you being arrogant? )...

"Cheat~you~
