Will Seika understand?
The feelings behind these words.
“…………”
she’s looking down.
she tends to overthink things a little.
she gets carried away by unnecessary thoughts.
I find that endearing, but in this situation, I hoped she wouldn’t.
“I…”
I thought I’d make sure to get the message across clearly… but…
“W-w-w-w-wait!”
“Wait…?”
Seika’s face was bright red, and she was completely flustered.
There was no trace of the tragic air she’d had just moments ago.
“I-i-i-is that… a-a-a-a confession… or something…”
(Why is her intuition so sharp only at times like this…?)
I had intended to explain my feelings in detail…
But it seemed Seika had guessed exactly right on the first try.
Houtarou felt all the energy drain from him, followed by a wave of intense embarrassment.
What was that? That confession had nothing to do with the mood we’d just been building…
“B-but, but, um… that, that… if possible, maybe a little more…”
(Ah, so Hirugami-san really does want me to set the mood a bit more…)
She probably isn’t happy with a confession made on such a whim.
“No, I’m happy! I’m really happy!”
(Why is it only at times like this… Haa…)
Her usual cluelessness and idiocy were nowhere to be found.
Here, for once, she was a sharp-witted, intuitive girl.
(Then… yeah. There’s only one thing to do.)
Houtarou had already made up his mind.
“I’m sorry.”
“NO~~~!”
(Why does she always go back to this…!)
“It’s not that kind of ‘sorry.’ Listen carefully.”
“What do you mean…?”
Her intuition, which had been razor-sharp just moments ago, seemed to have run out.
She was back to her usual self, which actually made Houtarou feel a little relieved.
“I’ll explain it properly.”
“Properly?”
“Yeah. You don’t want to be told off in a back-and-forth argument like this, do you?”
“Yeah.”
It was an immediate answer.
That made sense.
He wanted to choose his words more carefully, too.
“So, let’s start over. I’ll think it through properly. So that you… will be happy.”
In short, it was an invitation to go on a date.
Go on a date, set the mood, and then… confess his feelings.
That’s what Houtarou wanted to say.
“Ugh…”
But Seika looked dissatisfied.
“No good?”
“Yeah. I want it right now.”
“But then the mood will be…”
“That’s important too, but!”
Feeling slightly exasperated, Hotarou gave a wry smile.
(I guess this is what they mean by ‘every cloud has a silver lining.’)
Her exasperation was, in a way, endearing.
“Then let’s go right now.”
“Go? Where?”
“I told you… on a date.”
