As Tsukane wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, tear stains could be seen on her cheeks.
Even though she looked serious, the marks showed the magnitude of her emotions.
I can feel it. …… Tsukane’s shock is something I can sympathize with.
That’s why I wanted her to tell me how and why she felt the way she did.
–I think I want to sympathize with her from the bottom of my heart.
Because I have also experienced the same pain.
I don’t know exactly what those feelings are.
“Tomose once told me. If you are going to fall in love, you have to do it through ……. Do you remember that? You said that somewhere, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I remember.”
I had told her, along with my impressions after seeing a certain love-hate play …… of a play that I went to with Tsukane a long time ago.
It was love that started that story.
[Even a kind heart has enough magic power to rob others of their happiness.]
Fed up with the kindness his mother had given him, a man runs away from home and meets a woman.
He falls in love with a woman who shows him genuine understanding.
Drowning in the warmth of a woman who is different from his mother, the man decides to run away with her in order to find his own happiness.
The woman accepted the man’s passionate feelings and shared the same feelings with him.
It was such a simple and emotional story, but there was a definite romance.
After watching it, I said to Tsukane
“I don’t like that kind of beautiful beginning of love.”
I denied it.
Of course, the only thing I denied was the beginning of love.
Despite the wonderful story, such an unexpected and unexplained beginning of love seemed disproportionate.
If I were to fall in love, I wanted a more solid ground.
I didn’t accept the development of “I fell in love with you, so yes, I confess ……”.
Maybe that’s because I’m a man.
If I were a woman, I might have felt romance in the passionate feelings.
But there is no lie in the feelings I had…… and that is true even now.
Yes,…… even Tanba san’s confession, I accepted it because it was false.
I had a vague hope that if I could establish a foundation, I too would be able to find love.
“So that’s why you tried to confess in such a roundabout way?”
“Shuuta and Chiharu said it was a way that suited me very well…… ,”
Tsukane is a romantic.
Or rather, did those two know?
Shuta, that guy, deliberately hid it from me
If he was the usual, he would have been trying to fire up the conversation.
I had dared not to do anything, but it turned out to be a surprise.
If only Shuta had said something to make me aware of my assumption, none of this would have happened. ……
“I see, that makes sense. …… I can’t believe it, but if that’s what you mean, I’d like to understand.”
“Does that mean that you and Yukimura-san will get back together? In that case, I would like to get along with you too. Right? Yukimura-san.”
“Kano, stop acting so obvious.”
When I was about to admit that after I had been struggling with it, Tanba-san tried to stir up a lesson, so I said so while staring at her with cold eyes.
I thought she was trying to be forceful in order to stop Tsukane from confessing.
However, I was puzzled.
“Wait, I meant it, you know?”
“If so, it’s a bad time.”
“…… sorry.”
Tanba-san, who tilted her head a little and looked really sorry.
That doesn’t look like acting ………….
Like when we met in the hallway, she seems to have a bit of a sloppy side.
It’s a little troubling that it’s not clear whether she’s the kind of person who can read the air or not.
“No, no, no need to apologize. Sorry, I lost my temper too.”
……Yes, that’s right. The thing that can be called a confession had already been done from Tanba san’s point of view.
Because Tanha-san doesn’t know the game to reveal who Tsukane likes, so Tsukane’s action is over, which is only a confession no matter how you look at it from an objective point of view.
If there is, it could be taken as an attempt to block my reply, but I don’t think she would be willing to act in a way that would make a bad impression from my point of view.
I believe that Tanba-san respects me to some extent because I am a valuable collaborator that she should not let go of.
The fact that she agitated me earlier was only unnecessary since it was directed at Tsukane and the point of contradiction was me.
“I’m sorry to you too, Tsukane.”
……You are not at fault at all.
The cause of the whole thing was me.
But, you know, don’t you feel it’s too late for us to fall in love?
–It’s too late.
I had no way of knowing Tsukane’s intention.
So I’ve already given up on Tsukane.
…… Really? Then what is this tightening of the heart?
If I told her that, would she think it was too easy to give up?
