After seeing a movie or play, the two of them would enjoy tea at an open air cafe.
When strapped for money, they would have their own tea party at a park or bench.
They had Himeko’s and the Hinomiya family’s funds to back them up, however, money used for their personal enjoyment was not limitless and impossible to guarantee.
Himeko was still reeling in excitement and spoke about the climax of the movie they had just seen.
It seemed like she really liked the two lovers who had been torn apart by destiny.
Chikane watched Himeko attentively with a warm gaze.
Himeko’s hair shone red with the rays from the setting sun. It was truly beautiful.
At the outset, she looked like an artificial Western doll (a bisque doll) to her, despite the discomfort she felt for thinking that.
It wasn’t just her hair.
At first, the way she spoke was simply annoying, the clumsy way she carried herself was just irritating,
But she had come to think that anything and everything about her was adorable to the extent that it made her want to protect her.
It was really bizarre.
“So I thought that those two are somewhat like us.”
“Like us?”
“Yeah. Two people who meet and are attracted to one another despite carrying the burden of a fate that can’t be helped. We’re alike.”
Yes…Chikane mulled it over as she responded in the affirmative.
The protagonists in the movie, the two lovers, resemble us but they are different.
That’s because we…
We…
Inside of Chikane, “something” grew larger.
A dazzling radiance, a dull aching.
The shock was more than expected, causing Chikane to cast her eyes down involuntarily.
“Chikane-chan?”
Himeko peered into Chikane’s face in concern.
