◇Magiri side◇
────The second day of the festival.
Unlike yesterday’s first day of the festival, I had to cooperate with the butler & maid cafe’s performance this morning, so I came to my class room before the festival started.
Then, Nanahoshi, who seemed to have already arrived at the school, spoke to me.
“Good morning! Magiri~!”
“Good morning, Nanahoshi.”
“It’s a shame that the festival is only two days long and it’s over today, after all the hard work we put in to prepare for it~”
“I guess that’s true.”
When I agreed, Nanahoshi acted as if she was annoyed that this school festival would end today, but he continued with a cheerful expression and voice.
“But! If you think about it the other way around, all of that preparation time for this cultural festival is packed in, so we have to properly enjoy the richness of that festival!”
“Right.”
“Yeah, yeah! I already did my best touting yesterday, so I’m free all day today, but Magiri is touting this morning the same as I was yesterday afternoon, right? If Magiri’s so cool that my friends said, I think you can get a lot of people!”
“I’ll make an effort.”
After answering that, I decided to ask Nanahoshi some questions I had.
“One question I have is, Nanahoshi, don’t you at least wonder what I look like?”
When I asked a simple question with no underlying intention, Nanahoshi said.
“Everyone says you’re cool, so if you’re asking me if I care or not, of course I care in a curious sense, but just because they say you are cool doesn’t mean I’m like, “I want to see your face, Magiri!” If I say or think that, I can’t face the people I like, and …… above all! It’s not about face or anything, Maairi is Magiri, right? So I am interested in you, but not that much?”
If it’s not about the face, but me ……, what would she think of me if she found out that Magiri was Toiro?
Would she see Toiro as Toiro, or would she see Iroto as Toiro and think that she has been deceived all this time?
“…… Nanahoshi”
“Hmm, what’s wrong?”
“It’s true that I have lied to you, but at least I have never told a malicious lie, and most of the words we have exchanged have been sincere…However, you have always been honest with me. I feel really bad for telling lies”
I knew that if I said this to her, the true meaning of my words would not be conveyed, but I still couldn’t help but apologize to her.
But as expected, the true meaning of those words was not conveyed, and Nanahoshi said in the same manner as usual
“Mou~! What’s that? You don’t have to apologise for hiding the fact that you have a cool face! I’ve heard you don’t want to stand out before, …… but!”
Nanahoshi began ruffling my hair with her palms and continued in a cheerful tone of voice.
“Butler won’t attract customers with such a gloomy atmosphere, so you should make the atmosphere a little more cheerful, right?”
“……, yeah, right.”
When I was feeling somewhat complicated looking at her, who was still the same, ──── for a moment, my eyes met her eyes because my hair was dishevelled.
“…… eh?”
In that next moment my eyes were hidden by hair, Nanahoshi stopped her hands from disturbing my hair and opened her mouth with a puzzled look.
“It’s like, Magiri’s eyes are similar to the one I like ────”
“Ichiha~! If you don’t go soon, there will be a huge line for crepes, so go quickly! ”
“Ah, ah~! I’m sorry! I’ll be right there!”
When Nanahoshi’s words were interrupted by a female friend of hers who was probably going to the school festival with her today, Nanahoshi replied and then said to me in a panic.
“Well then, I’m going!’Good luck at the butler cafe, Magiri!”
“Yeah, Nanahoshi, enjoy the cultural festival too.”
“Y-yeah!”
Nanahoshi seemed a little upset, but she replied cheerfully and ran towards her friend.
…Every single word of Nanahoshi pierces through me.
Maybe I’m starting to not be able to bear it anymore.
────To continue to lie about myself to her who are showing favor to me.
“By the looks of it, Nanahoshi won’t come to see me with my hair up, so she won’t find out who I really am at this festival.”
But …… I don’t want to stay like this forever.
I mean,──── if my identity is revealed to Her in a situation where I’m left to my own luck, how can I say that I’m really facing her with that?
“There’s no way I can say that …….”
If there was a chance to see me in my butler’s uniform at the festival, then I thought……, but I wasn’t ready to face Nanahoshi in the end.
────I confess my true identity to her…I can finally say that I am ready to face her.
“Magiri-kun! If you don’t change your clothes soon, you won’t make it in time~!”
“Sorry, I’ll be right there.”
There are a lot of things to think about, but for now I’ve decided to concentrate on the cultural festival for the time being, and I put on my butler’s uniform and did a hair up haircut on my hair.
I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that my classmates’ efforts to achieve first place in sales bear fruit.
When I thought of this in my mind, ──── finally, the second day of the festival opened its curtain.
