I came to my house with Mitsuki and Akari chan.
Now the three of us sat down in my room before taking a breath and starting to talk.
“You know why I suddenly said we should talk, don’t you?”
“Yeah. I understand.”
I asked with a serious expression on my face, and Mitsuki nodded and said so.
“Akari chan doesn’t doesn’t seem to understand. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right…….”
“Then, let me ask you frankly, Akari chan, what did you think when you saw Kei kun with a beautiful woman just now?”
“……”
“Now I want you to answer honestly.”
“T-that’s……”
Akari chan hesitated in response to my question, looking embarrassed and sad.
“You were surprised, weren’t you? Also, you were sad, and you’re still really curious about who that woman is…”
“Wha ! How do you know…..?”
I said so, and Akari chan was surprised.
You might think it strange since Akari chan is insensitive to this kind of topic, but it’s obvious from the sad look on her face just now.
Mitsuki is aware of it too, of course.
“The reason I said we were gonna talk today was about Kei kun. You know, the three of us……we thought we liked Sora, didn’t we?”
When I said that, they nodded silently.
“That’s right. I know we were getting awkward at times, right? We were so concerned about each other that we dared to avoid the topic.”
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces as they listened to me, I continued.
“Still, I knew that our relationship would change eventually, and that the day would come when we would face each other, but I was really scared that the relationship between the three of us might break down at some point. It’s only natural that I’ve known Akari chan for a long time, and I’ve only known Mitsuki for a little over a year, but that’s how much I love you both.”
“Yeah…….”
“You’re……right. But I’m not interested in my brother anymore…….”
Akari chan closed her mouth after saying that much.
“I know, Akari chan……I wanna discuss the feelings of the three of us, including that,……,so that we can continue to be friends together in the future. Also, so that we don’t end up in the same situation again. So I’ll tell you both clearly. I think Mitsuki is aware of this, but I love Kei kun…..”
“Eh? S-Shindo senpai !?”
When I came out like that, Mitsuki nodded slightly and Akari chan looked very surprised.
“Akari chan probably thought that I only thought of Kei kun as a friend, right?”
“Y……yes……because…….”
Because…..she stopped, Akari chan probably stopped as she was about to say something about Sora.
The five of us went to karaoke before, right? At that time, Akari chan said that something was wrong with me, right? In fact, I was already in love with Kei kun at that time,…..but it’s also true that I had some feelings of love for Sora as well. I’ll tell you both everything that has happened since I met Kei kun without hiding anything.”
They nodded silently again, and I told them everything that had happened since I met Kei kun without hiding anything.
I also told them that I liked Kei kun and that I didn’t have feelings for Sora right now.
“I see…I knew something happened, but Kei is being Kei after all. I can really understand why Yui chan feels relieved.”
“……It means that Yui san likes Shindo senpai, not my brother right now,……eh ! K-Kei !? Mitsuki san, since when……”
Mitsuki knew that I liked Kei kun, so she wasn’t that surprised, but Akari chan was surprised as she seemed to be thinking about it, and then she was surprised that Mitsuki called Kei by his name.
…Or rather, I’m really curious about that too.
“I’m curious about that too… I’d like Mitsuki to talk about it next.”
“Sure. First of all, I like Kei too……if I say when….. actually I’ve been interested in Kei since that karaoke session.”
“So you were…..”
“……”
“It’s been that way since then…I guess that’s what it felt like when Kei kun saved me?”
“So recently, we started working part-time at the same time, so I mustered up the courage to say that I wanted to call each other by name…”
“Eh? You said that?”
To be honest, that’s surprising.
I didn’t think Mitsuki would go that far……to be that aggressive……
“That’s right. I’m sorry…I knew that Yui chan had feelings for him, but I just couldn’t control my feelings…”
“No. It’s okay,…..but what about your feelings for Sora?”
“If it’s Sora kun, to be honest, I’d say we’re friends now…I originally thought that compared to the two of you, we’d only known each other for a short time, and I didn’t really like him like that…also, I think Yui chan knows that……”
Mitsuki finished telling me about the time Kei kun saved her, which I also know, and about her feelings that she likes Kei kun.
I see.
It may be strange to compare Kei kun to Sora, but to be honest, I feel a completely different sense of security.
And yet it makes me nervous, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Mitsuki has the same feelings.
I also felt that my feelings for Sora changed from being romantic to being a childhood friend.
Sora tends to put his own feelings first and put the other person’s on the back burner, even more so……
I never thought that Mitsuki, who sensed that I have strong feelings for Kei kun, would be unable to hold back her feelings and would be brave enough to call each other by name……. Mitsuki must like Kei kun that much……
“……M-Mitsuki san too……? Please wait a minute. ……”
Akari chan said this in confusion and started to think about something.
We decided to wait for Akari chan to calm down.
–After a few minutes, Akari chan began to speak.
“The two of you are currently in love with Shindo senpai and not my brother, is that correct?”
She said this calmly.
[ [Yeah] ]
“I see…..”
“Akari chan? It’s Akari chan’s turn next, right? Akari chan also likes Kei kun, right?”
“I-tt’s not like I….”
When I said that, Akari chan seemed panicked and hesitated.
Maybe she cares about us?
“Are you okay? As I said earlier, I understand, so please be honest with me. Right? Mitsuki?”
“Yes. Akari chan, why don’t the three of us talk honestly now? You don’t have to worry about us, okay?”
Akari chan answered after a while.
