Chapter 5 (2/2)

”Eh—?” says Nina who was surprised stiff again.

Because it looks like she was about to cry again, I asked her with a reserved tone.

「Is someone like m-me okay? That, you would probably be looked at with strange eyes…」

I give a bitter smile to Nina, who had fallen into depression because of my words on her own, and properly display my intention.

「I am fine with Nina, after all isn't Nina an amazingly great person?」

「No way… someone like me who has the looks of a monster and an ugly personality.」

「Is that so? I would never say you were a bad person, in fact ever since I first saw you I thought you looked like a sweet person.」

Nina who had her appearance praised trembled.

Her ears became red and her face loosened in happiness.

「Ano… W-Why?」

”Nn?” This time I didn't understand what the girl meant so I tilted my head to the side.

「Why?… Why are you so nice, Yuuto?」

「Isn't it because you're sweet?」

「I'm sweet?!」

She hurriedly stood up and stared at me.

Nina's face had a look of strong doubt and perplexity.

「You say I am pretty! You say I am cute! O-On top of that, you don't get mad at me suddenly kissing you! Even though I do weird things…」

「I've only said the truth thus far. Also everything that Nina has done to me felt good. It made me really happy.」

「L-Lies! It seems true, but it's lies! Such, Such a thing―――」

It's troubling.

Deep down Nina wants to believe me but until now everything has taught her that this situation is a lie.

I swear I am speaking my true feelings, but she thinks this strange situation is just a lead up for me to end up betraying her.

That's why she is afraid to believe my words.

If that's the case – that's right – I say the first thing that I remembered.

「Then Nina try and request anything from me.」

「A request?」

「I will definitely not refuse it, so can you please believe me?」

「Such-Such a thing.」

Nina floats a bewildered expression as I bluntly declared to her.

「I will show you whether I am lying or not.」
