“Kaoru chan ! Hitomi chan ! Isn’t this cute !?”
“You’re right. I think it’s very cute.”
“Yeah. I think it would look good on Kirara chan.”
“I’ll go with this one then !”
Kirara chan spent a long time choosing her clothes, then went to the cash register.
“You look happy, Kirara chan.”
“Yes. I’m glad you’re having fun, considering everything you’ve been through.”
“Of course. There’s nothing better than being happy.”
In fact, I feel like Kirara chan’s smile has become more natural since I met her.
Not that I think she was forcing herself before, it’s just that I feel that way now that I think about it.
Kirara chan said that she is having a lot of fun now that she feels more at ease.
–Then we were walking out of the restaurant.
“Isn’t it time we should head back?”
‘Yes. It’s getting dark soon.”
“Right.”
“Then let’s go home while chatting.”
[ [Yeah ! Let’s] ]
So we had been hanging out since this morning, and we decided to go home.
On the way home, I was wondering how to ask her about something that had been bothering me for a while.
This may be my misunderstanding, but lately Kirara chan seems to be conscious of Kaito kun……no, actually Kirara chan likes Kaito kun, but she doesn’t even realize it herself, but I have a feeling that’s almost certainly the case.
Well, to be honest, Kirara chan spends a lot of time with Kaito kun, so I think it’s not surprising that she does. That’s how attractive Kaito kun is.
And Kaito kun also seemed to care about Kirara chan, which may be one of the reasons why I told him to be kind to her.
I used to think that if Kirara chan fell in love with Kaito kun then….we would be together, and I haven’t changed my mind about that. I wouldn’t like it if it was another girl I didn’t know, but if it was Kirara chan I would be fine, and that hasn’t changed either.
I thought about it many times and wondered if I really wouldn’t be jealous.
But when I imagined Kaito kun and Kirara chan making out, instead of feeling jealous, I felt strangely happy.
Then I thought……I want the two people I love to be happy, and I want to be friends with Kirara chan forever.
Even if the three of us, including Kirara chan, were to go out together, I could see a vision of us all being happy together in the future….it’s a selfish wish of mine, but I thought such a future would be nice too. And since Kaito kun basically tends to be seen in a bad light, I’m glad that we can share Kaito kun’s good qualities together…..
And if that’s the case, Kirara chan would have her first love……I don’t have good memories of my first love, so I don’t want Kirara chan to have the same feelings.
Of course, Kaito kun’s decision is the most important thing, but if Kaito kun likes Kirara chan, I think we can all get along……I wonder if Kaito kun sees Kirara chan as a romantic interest…….I don’t know about that, though.
Thinking so, I decided to talk to Hitomi chan first.
Well, it’s something I was worried about before, so it’s perfect.
“Now that I think about it, Hitomi chan wasn’t scared of Kaito kun from the beginning, right?”
Even I was a little scared of Kaito kun in the beginning.
Of course, that happened during the first week of school, and the day after we spent the night together, I wasn’t scared at all.
But even though no one in the class spoke to Kaito kun, Hitomi chan was the only one to talk to him, telling him to submit his work and not to be late.
My classmates were very surprised when they saw this.
Now that I think about it, that may have been one of the reasons why my classmates misunderstood Hitomi chan and were scared…
When I was thinking that, Hitomi chan said.
“Eh? Yes, that’s right. I wasn’t scared. I heard rumors, but I didn’t really care about them……and it was obvious that he didn’t seem like an admirable person at the time, so it was only natural that I should pay attention to him. I don’t believe in uncertain rumors, for the most part.”
“You really shouldn’t believe rumors. I’m the type of person who sees it for myself, so I might understand how you feel. Well, the first time I talked to Kaito kun, it was out of the blue and I felt a little rude…..”
I have heard about the first time Kirara chan and Kaito kun talked.
Kaito kun was also surprised, but he said he didn’t think she was scared of him.
When I think about it, I guess I was the only one who heard the rumors about Kaito kun and believed them….even though I was much weaker back then than I am now, I feel a little frustrated.
Well, it can’t be helped to worry about it now…
“You both were like that…I’m Kaito kun’s girlfriend, but I was scared of him at first…”
“Isn’t that fine? You can’t understand people unless you talk about them. And even if you thought that way in the past, it’s different now, right?”
Hitomi chan asked me that.
That’s natural. I know Kaito kun more than anyone else that he’s a good person, and I love him more than anyone else.
“Obviously !”
“Right? Then that’s fine. Ohgo kun also said that the rumors are not all wrong, and I don’t think Kaoru chan should be worried about it. But then again, it’s kinda like him, so he probably doesn’t care about such things either.”
“I agree. You both seem to be in love with each other from our point of view !”
I thought as I listened to their words.
It’s true that there’s no use worrying about things like that, and Kaito kun probably doesn’t care at all either.
If that’s the case, if I have time to worry about it, I should think about Kaito kun more.
…I mean, I was trying to find out what Kirara chan thinks about Kaito kun.
But I’m curious…..and I still want to know about it.
I decided to ask in a roundabout way.
“Thank you both. I’ll stop worrying about it now. So…how’s Kirara chan lately? Have you gotten used to working at Kaito kun’s house?”
“Yeah ! I’ve gotten used to it. Kaito kun is very kind and it’s a lot of fun ! I mean, Kaoru chan comes often too.”
Kirara chan said with a great smile.
I looked at Kirara chan smiling happily and thought to myself.
I don’t know what to make of this question, but I don’t think there’s any need to rush to find out. Kirara chan has just recently become able to fall in love freely.
Even if she likes him, she needs time for this kind of thing…..even more so if it’s her first love.
Besides, I don’t think it’s right for me to intervene more than necessary…love is a very delicate issue…if she’s in trouble, I think it’s best for me to help her.
Hitomi chan said while I was thinking about that.
“Anyway, what kind of person Kaito kun is?”
“What does that mean?”
“I’ve heard a lot about him from Kaoru chan, but he can do anything, can’t he? It’s hard to believe that he is a first-year high school student.”
“That’s true……and he’s so sweet and cool and has a great personality too. I have a lot of friends, too, but Kaito kun is completely different from other people. In a good way, of course.”
I think they are both right to wonder.
I thought the same thing at first.
But now those doubts have disappeared……or rather, it would be more correct to say that I don’t care anymore.
When I’m with Kaito kun, I can see that he’s definitely an adult-like person, but he’s also kind to me and has a cute side to him.
Generally, Kaito kun is Kaito kun, nothing more, nothing less.
What kind of person he is…..if you ask me that, the answer is simple…Kaito kun is my boyfriend that I love, and that’s enough. Well, that’s just what I think because it’s me, but for someone who doesn’t know Kaito kun, that’s not an answer at all. Anyway, he’s a wonderful man…that’s Kaito kun.
“I agree. It’s true that Kaito kun is awesome and maybe different from others of his generation…..but I love Kaito kun like that…….”
“That’s true…..”
“You really are lovey-dovey….I’m a little jealous……”
Kirara chan said in a small voice.
“Kirara chan is also wonderful, so I think you’ll be able to meet a good person soon.”
“Yes……I hope so……”
And when Hitomi chan said that, Kirara chan smiled and said so.
It was at that time….that I received a call on my phone.
“Oh, it’s from Kaito kun !”
“You can take it.”
“Yeah.”
“Right. I’ll see you in a bit.”
Then I opened a little distance from the two of them and answered the phone.
[What’s wrong, Kaito kun?]
[Kaoru, actually…..”
Kaito kun informed me that Kirara chan’s grandmother had invited him to dinner.
Kait -kun must have told me because it was the house of a girl who is not his girlfriend.
But if it was Kirara chan’s grandmother who told him, it’s not like I said no, andI’m not going to.
[Of course, if Kaoru doesn’t like it, I’ll say no, so just say what you think.]
Kaito kun is putting me first in everything, and I was happy about that.
[Fufufu, of course it’s fine ! If it was Kirara chan’s grandmother’s request, I wouldn’t be able to refuse ! Besides, you have to accept her gratitude honestly !]
[Well then. I’ll have dinner at Kirara’s house and go home.]
[Yeah ! Enjoy !]
[Yeah. Bye.]
[Okay ! Also, we’re breaking up in a little while, so Kirara chan will be going home soon ! Kirara chan’s grandmother is waiting for her, right? If that’s the case, please go ahead !]
[Got it Thanks.]
I ended the call.
Should I tell Kirara chan about this?
But I guess I don’t have to tell her……Kirara chan will be surprised, but maybe it will give her a chance to realize her feelings.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but for now, Kirara chan seems to be having fun, and that’s good enough for me.
With that in mind, I went back to the two of them.
“Hey, you two ! Let’s go home !”
“Right.”
“Welcome back. You have a big smile on your face, did something happen?”
“No. Nothing.”
“You sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“Come on. Let’s go, you two.”
[ [Yeah.] ]
We said and started walking away.
