“────The fireworks were beautiful!”
On the way home after the fireworks show was over
Nanahoshi, who was walking next to me, said so in a bright voice.
“…..Oh, yes, it was.”
I nodded and replied.
To be honest, I was in a strange state where I could see fireworks but they weren’t there, but I can’t say that when Nanahoshi says fireworks are beautiful.
As I was thinking this, Nanahoshi opened her mouth and said
“Toiro san, I hope you haven’t forgotten what I said just before the fireworks because you were so taken by the beauty of the fireworks. But even if you have forgotten, I will say it to you as many times as you want!”
After saying this, Nanahoshi took a little short run in front of me and turned to face me on the nighttime street with the electric lights shining.
“I love you, Toiro-san! Of course, as a man!”
I didn’t know what kind of feelings I had for Nanahoshi, who once again said this with a smile on her face.
I knew that Nanahoshi said that she was interested in me…but I never expected it to be love, and that she liked me enough to confess her love to me. I didn’t even think about it, so now I really don’t even know myself.
“I’m sorry ……, I know I should say something at a time like this, but this is the first time I’ve had someone confess to me and I don’t know what to say or how to say it with my language skills and experience level.”
“Eh!? T-The first time you’ve been confessed to, eh? You’re kidding, right?!”
For some reason, Nanahoshi looks very surprised and I shake my head and say
“It’s not a joke, it’s the truth.”
“Eh~!? If I went to the same school as Toiro san, I would definitely fall in love with him and confess my feelings to him! Or rather, I just confessed to him! Ah~! I mean, after the summer vacation, I would have the chance to meet Toiro san like this. I wish I had gone to the same school as you!”
“What are you talking about? We’re ────.”
When I was about to say that, I stopped myself from saying the rest of it.
That’s right,…… I’ve been spending a lot of time with Nanahoshi lately, and I feel like we’ve grown closer, so I’ve forgotten,──── I’m pretending to be myself to Nanahoshi.
“…..Toiro san?”
How would Nanahoshi feel if she found out that …… the existence of Toiro is a lie?
Would she be saddened and disillusioned and go away?────
“Toiro san? Are you okay?”
In the first place, I’m a false existence called Toiro, and I don’t know how much I …… know about Nanahoshi, and I don’t know how qualified I am to be confessed to Nanahoshi. ────
“Toiro san!!!”
I was feeling pretty down thinking about my past and what I am doing to Nanahoshi right now, but Nanahoshi’s loud voice calling my name brought my attention to that voice, and the next moment Nanahoshi hugged me and said
“I have received a lot of help from Toiro san in the past…So, if Toiro san is having a hard time, please ask me for help next time…I love you. If it’s for you, I can do anything.”
“Nanahoshi…..”
I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I wonder why I feel so much more at home when I’m with Nanahoshi ────.
Then Nanahoshi continued to hug me for a while and eventually took her arms off me and said
“Is everything alright now? Toiro-san.”
“Yeah…… sorry for showing you this right after you told me you liked me.”
I apologized for that, but Nanahoshi shook her head and said.
“I love you including that part of you, Toiro-san!”
……I’m sure there are many other things to say, but I decided to tell her what I’m thinking most at the moment for the moment.
“────Thank you for telling me you love me.”
“…! I’ll say it again and again, even from now on! I hope you’re ready for it!””
After that, I dropped her off in front of her apartment and went home to sleep, thinking back to today’s summer festival with Nanahoshi.
◇Nanahoshi’s side◇
After returning home and entering her room, Nanahoshi immediately fell to her knees, her cheeks turning red as she covered her mouth with both hands and mumbled.
“I confessed, I confessed, I confessed ……!”
Nanahoshi, who called out that very happily, looked very satisfied for a little while after that,────, but in the middle of that, she noticed something.
“…… huh? I …… was so focused on confessing my feelings that I didn’t ask him to go out with me….?”
Nanahoshi realizes that she forgot to say something important ────
“Aaah~!! I’m an idiot! Mouu! What am I doing! I went to the trouble of confessing! I liked that atmosphere~! Aaah!”
She jumped into bed and continued to scream for a while, rolling around in bed and flapping her legs──── a few days later.
Finally, summer vacation was coming to an end and the second semester was about to begin.
