“Erm…..Fuyusaki san? Are you angry?”
The two of us leave the field together, and Fuyusaki stops when we come to the hallway that connects the cafeteria and the school building.
She’s been silent for the past few minutes, so maybe a lot is going on.
“What did you mean earlier?”
I guess by “earlier” you mean the declaration I made to Tokumatsu.
I don’t know what I meant by that, because I said it unconsciously.
“Erm, I just said it as it is……”
“Then, did you mean nothing special when you said that?”
She asked me with a stronger tone of voice.
“No, look ! Tokumatsu confessed to you, didn’t he?”
“He did, but I turned him down. So there is no connection with this story ! In the first place, how did Mitsui kun know about it?”
“Well…..there’s no point in hiding it now, is there?”
I told Fuyusaki about the past few days.
As she listened, she also felt a little angry at Tokumatsu, who misunderstood that I was toying with Fuyusaki, and was challenged to a duel for that reason.
“I never thought that would happen…to begin with, telling someone else that you confessed is…”
“So, well, that leads me to what I said earlier…..”
“I’m noit convinced. Please remind yourself what you meant by what you said earlier.”
“Well, of course.”
I think about it as I recall what I said earlier.
What was I thinking at that time?
“Well, what the heck, I thought it was perfect.”
“Perfect?”
I continue to speak, unable to think straight.
“The lunch break earlier. You know, Fuyusaki wasn’t so uptight in front of Kanna san, right? That kind of safe space is what I like about…….”
“What does that have to do with what you just said?”
“I couldn’t imagine Tokumatsu in that kind of space…..sorry, I don’t understand it either.”
Even when I thought about it, I couldn’t understand why I said that.
However, at that time, it may have been that I didn’t want to lose to Tokumatsu, and I didn’t want to see Fuyusaki and Tokumatsu together.
“…From the way you’re talking now, it sounds like you’re in a place where you can feel safe.”
I was surprised by Fuyusaki’s words and remembered the way she said them a few seconds ago.
Certainly, it seems to be my subjective opinion…….
“No ! That’s not what I meant ! Um, so……”
I tried to correct myself in a hurry, but I was in such a panic that I couldn’t come up with the right words.
Seeing me like that, Fuyusaki chuckled.
It seems that the anger from before has disappeared.
“Fufu, it’s okay if you don’t correct it. I also feel very safe in the space where Mitsui kun is.”
“You what—“
“Come on, let’s get back to work. If we stay absent forever, the people in class will start wondering.”
While saying that, Fuyusaki happily walks away.
(What did you mean when you said that…)
I swallowed those words and followed Fuyusaki’s lead.
