“….. Eh?”
I was puzzled by Nanahoshi’s sudden question, and Nanahoshi said to supplement her question.
“No, I think I told you that I cried in the fitting room, but I don’t remember telling Toiro-san about that….. I just don’t remember, when did I tell you about it?”
That’s right… the story of her becoming mentally ill after realizing that she was being avoided and crying in the fitting room is not something I’ve heard as a Toiro, but a story that I’ve heard as a Magiri… And yet, I…
It’s clearly my mistake…when you get emotional, you end up with these kinds of disadvantages.
Shall I go with her words and assume that she just said it without remembering it?
But that might give her a kind of constant discomfort when dealing with me. …… If that’s the case, then ────
“I’m just guessing, because the only person who would make that Nanahoshi sad, and the only event like that, would be what I said and did at that time.”
When I told her this in a pained tone, Nanahoshi waved her hands to the side and said
“T-that’s not true,……, I was bad at that time too, so really don’t worry about it!”
“I don’t think there was anything wrong with Nanahoshi, …… but it’s nice to hear you say so.”
When I replied, Nanahoshi stopped waving her hands to the side and seemed to calm down.
She almost found out that I am Magiri, but this is not going to settle the matter ────.
It may be less strange than saying that you don’t remember, but it definitely must have caused some discomfort within her…and this feeling of discomfort will remain as a point, and eventually… As the other discomforts increase, they connect as dots, and in the end it becomes clear that Toiro is Magiri
“…..”
……eliminate the existence of Toiro and sever the relationship with her
Frankly speaking, I don’t want to do that if I have to make Nanahoshi sad as a result.
That’s why I’m starting to think in terms of how to make the best use of the existence of Toiro in a positive direction. ────
I can’t allow it to be revealed that Toiro is Magiri
If it is exposed, it will be exposed that Magiri is not ordinary, and it will also be exposed that ────
“Toiro san……? You look pale, is something wrong?”
As I was feeling bad remembering the past, Nanahoshi looked at my face and asked anxiously
“It’s …… nothing, more importantly, if you’ve finished trying on your fifth dress,────.”
“That’s a lie!”
I tried to get off the subject, when Nanahoshi grabbed my wrist and said so in a loud voice.
Then, she takes me inside the fitting room and wall bang me.
“Nanahoshi……? What ────?”
“I’m not letting you out of here today until you tell me why you were looking so hard, Toiro-san!”
“You’re not letting me out of here …… stop joking and get me out of here, will you?”
“I don’t want to! I won’t let you out of here until you’re honest with me!”
One difficulty after another, don’t you think? …… What’s going on in this case?
It’s still a troublesome act for me, but it’s just that she is doing it with good intentions… Although good intentions don’t always turn into good deeds, I don’t want to disrespect her good intentions. No…but—I don’t even want to talk about why I turned pale.
” ……”
I am not very good at telling these …… things, or rather, I don’t like it, but if this is how it’s going to be, then I have no choice.
I said it with determination.
“I admit that I’m having a hard time mentally …… as you said, but I don’t want to say why or anything like that ────.”
“You don’t have to say it, thank you for telling me it’s been hard.”
With a gentle expression and tone of voice, she said so,──── and the next moment, she hugged me.
“N-Nanahoshi?”
“T-This is …… not that I have any strange meaning! I just wanted to give you some relief if you were having a hard time,……. If you ever have a hard time in the future, please let me know,……, and I’ll always be there for you,……. I’ll wrap you up in this way.”
I didn’t know if I was allowed to do this,────but
A new thought arose in me. ……I wonder what she will think if she finds out that I am now pretending to be something I am not.
Would she despise me or become disillusioned with me? …… and at the end of it all, ──── would she leave me too?
“….”
I was almost shaken a little when I recalled those past feelings, but I decided to surrender everything to the warmth of her embrace.
