Last few weeks.
Working on a collaborative song at Momo’s house,
Went on a date with Yanagi,
Treated a home-cooked meal at Nadeshiko’s house.
Kagamiya, who has become a little more eager to build relationships than before, has been steadily getting to know the three beautiful girls.
There is a girl who has been following and witnessing the whole process like a stalker.
Her name is Mio. She is the childhood friend who rejected Kagamiya.
Mio has been secretly following Kagami and Kagamiya for the past few weeks in order to deny that Kagami and Kagamiya are the same person.
And the conclusion she came to was.
“As expected, Kagami kun’s true identity was Kagamiya…….”
At the very least, if Kagamiya is not Kagami kun, there is no explanation for him walking around with beautiful entertainers like Momo, Yanagi and Nadeshiko.
Besides, she had seen with her own eyes and ears the way Momo called Kagamiya [Kagamin] and Yanagi [Kagami sama]
Mio felt the blood drain from her body.
What comes to mind is that day. The memory of when Kagamiya confessed his feelings to her.
The deep dark circles, the shaggy hair, the dowdy clothes. All of these things were negative, and she felt [weird] toward Kagamiya.
To top it all off, the creepy guy suddenly says that he is Kagami kun, her oshi, is really him.
She was angry, and it was no wonder that she had accidentally let her true feelings slip out.
“I mean, what the heck ! ……You’ve been hiding it from me all this time. Even if you told me out of the blue,…..there’s no way I could believe that !”
Mio has always fantasized about becoming a girlfriend or getting married to Kagami. She had fantasized about such things and strongly hoped to have such a relationship with Kagami if she really could.
And even now that she knows that Kagami is really Kagamiya, she still feels the same way.
But after doing something like that,…..she wonders what kind of face she should make now.
If only I had noticed earlier. If only I believed Kagamiya’s words.
There must have been a chance. ….But the usual Kagamiya was like that, Mio would never notice.
Mio is disappointed.
Mio’s own appearance is average–above average at best, but she thinks that being ugly discriminates and is evil.
It would be impossible for Mio to connect Kagamiya and Kagami unless she did something similar to a stalker.
But even so,……she can’t regret it.
“No……”
Wait a minute.
Speaking of which, Mio remembered that Kagamiya had indeed confessed to Mio.
Kagamiya liked Mio.
At least, to the extent that he confessed to her.
Falling in love with a childhood friend.
That infatuation, perhaps not an overnight thing, but something much longer.
Nowadays, Kagamiya doesn’t get involved with Mio because of his heartbreak,……but still, is it possible to suddenly dislike a girl you’ve liked for a long time?
Unexpectedly, if she makes an offer to make up with him, he might be more than happy to jump at it.
No, even though he is wearing Kagamiya’s skin, he is still Kagami kun inside.
Rather, Mio might say, [I’ve changed my mind. I’d be happy to go out with you after all.]
It is more than enough concession for Kagamiya.
I agree. Let’s do it !
Mio, on the spur of the moment, sends a text message to Kagamiya.
[I’ve changed my mind. I’m willing to be your girlfriend after all.]
◇
I got a text from Mio.
How long has it been since she sent me an email?
The content was a rather supercilious admission to the effect that she had changed her mind and that I could go out with her after all.
Kagamiya is puzzled by his childhood friend’s messages, which have been a long time coming.
“(…What should I do? I don’t know how to respond to something like this)”
To be honest, from Kagamiya’s point of view, his feelings for Mio had already cooled to the point of freezing on the day he confessed his feelings to her and was rejected.
Because of the disappointment and a lack of mutual understanding of each other.
But after having confessed my feelings to her, it seems a little unwise to bluntly reply, [No, I don’t like you anymore……]
[I’ve changed my mind, so it’s fine if we don’t become lovers after all.]
is a little too curt.
[I hope you can forget about that day.]
……Too stiff.
[……
I don’t know what to do. The reason is that I’ve been so uninvolved with my childhood friend that I’ve lost all sense of distance from Mio.
Kagamiya fiddled with the email for a moment, worrying and….
He decided to leave the e-mail unread.
Because I don’t know what to say back.
If you don’t know how to respond, then don’t respond. It’s that simple.
These past few weeks. Kagamiya has been living without any contact with Mio, but it hasn’t been a problem. It is not that Kagamiya dislikes or hates Mio in any way.
However, he thought that it would be okay if he and Mio became estranged because he ignored this mail to which he had trouble replying.
I turned my screen back one more time and looked at the names of [Nadeshiko] [Momo] and [Yanagi] registered as contacts.
Momo is a colleague and Kagami’s admirer.
They honestly respect each other, get along well with each other, and can talk about music in a very maniacal and intricate way.
Although Yanagi is not a colleague of Kagami’s, she is a high school author of [Hekireki no Ao] a story about a beautiful high school girl who is making her acting debut.
As a Kagami fan, she is more dedicated and has better morals than Mio.
As for Nadeshiko, she is his favorite big sister.
Not necessarily because of that, but these past few weeks. For Kagamiya, the time he spent actively involved with Momo, Yanagi, and Nadeshiko was truly enjoyable.
It was exciting. It was thrilling.
My heart was much more excited than when I was in love with Mio.
It’s not that I didn’t like Mio.
It’s just that Momo, Yanagi, and Nadeshiko are just too attractive, too kind, and too fun. They are just too much fun.
Of course, they are such amazing people that it is a miracle that someone like me can be involved with them.
Kagamiya thinks so, but Momo, Yanagi, and Nadeshiko all recognize Kagamiya as an amazing person, just as Kagamiya thinks of them.
After acknowledging him, they accept him even if they know what he looks like when he is as[Kagamiya].
And perhaps, even if Kagamiya learns about a new side of Momo, Yanagi, or Nadeshiko in the future, he will probably accept it.
Indeed, Kagamiya’s normal appearance is creepy.
If one were to look at him, one could be disillusioned with him compared to his Kagami days.
But Kagamiya still wants to be involved with someone who accepts him for who he is when he is off the stage. Whether that person is a friend, lover, or family member.
In other words. Mio, who despises and avoids Kagamiya’s usual appearance as creepy, and Kagamiya, who became disillusioned when he learned about Mio’s inner self.
As long as neither of them can accept the other’s true self, even if they were to become lovers, there is no way it would work out.
In the end.
Kagamiya does not like Mio at all anymore.
He can’t even think of her as a friend—
