“──── we’re almost there!”
“Okay.”
It seems that the venue for Nanahoshi’s model photo shoot is approaching, and Nanahoshi, who is already acting like my girlfriend, says this in a cheerful voice, and then she says this in a slightly embarrassed manner, her cheeks turning red.
“Toiro, umm …… once again, I’m sorry for getting into a weird kind of tension when we met up, okay”
“I don’t mind because you already apologised to me several times before we came here.”
When I complimented the clothes and Nanahoshi calmed down after various behaviours, she apologised for that, and she also apologised several times on the way here, and since it wasn’t as much of a thing to be apologised for so many more times, I don’t really care.
“I know you don’t mind, but I was a bit embarrassed …… but I was really happy when you complimented me on my clothes.”
“I didn’t realise it made you that happy.”
“Yeah!”
“…It’s a feeling I don’t understand.”
For instance, if someone compliments me on my clothes, it just means that they thought my clothes were good, but it’s a subjective opinion.
“One opinion surely can’t make me feel that happy ……, although I doubt if I could feel that happy if I received many opinions.”
“Mouu!
You don’t understand at all.”
“I don’t understand ……?”
As soon as I heard that from Nanahoshi and heard back with those words, she took a short run in front of me.
When I stopped in response, Nanahoshi turned towards me and looked at me with sparkling eyes and said.
“I was happy because it was not anyone else, but Toiro that complimented my clothes.”
After saying this, Nanahoshi continued.
“To be honest, being a model by profession, I’ve received countless compliments on my clothes, …… whether it was from one person or a crowd of people.”
I can’t say for sure how popular Nanahoshi is as a model because I don’t know the details yet, but at least she’s popular enough as a model to be able to use a studio in a building in the middle of the city. Well, it’s true that receiving compliments on one’s clothes is not just a metaphor, but a literal everyday occurrence.
“But you know, …… I was more happy to get compliments on my clothes from Toiro than any other people! So it’s not about one opinion or a number, the most important thing is who you get compliments from! That’s the only thing that fills me with so much joy!”
Saying this, Nanahoshi gave me a bright smile.
This bright smile is really attractive no matter how many times I see it.
I wonder if it is okay to be near her, who shows such a bright smile with the false existence of Toiro, …… and what she would think if she found out that everything about this person Toiro is false.
It must no longer be exposed that the true identity of the being called Toiro is Magiri, not only for the sake of my mundane daily life, but also for the sake of her.
If it is found out, I will make Nanahoshi, who shows such a bright smile, sad because I have been treating her with a lie for her entire existence.
“……”
I will end up making her sad ……?
Before ……, it didn’t matter whether she was sad or not, I would have put emphasis only on not revealing my true identity.
But when did the will not to make her sad grow inside me?
As I was asking myself these questions, Nanahoshi said in a panicked voice
“Ah! I’m sorry, Toiro! If we were talking about this, we’d have to hurry and get there in time for the launch to start!”
It’s the launch of her modelling shoot, but it’s going to be lonely to start without that very Nanahoshi.
“No worries, if that’s the case, let’s hurry up and go.”
To avoid making the launch lonely, I stopped asking myself once and headed to the launch site with Nanahoshi ──── a few minutes later.
“Here! You managed to make it just in time!”
“……”
Nanahoshi stopped in front of a beautiful building where ──── celebrities and industry people seemed to be having a party.
