Chapter 244: Hera / Fairy-san Fairy-san (2/2)

「Mhm……It’s, amazing」

「Ahaha, amazing amazing」

Akiha laughed in a carefree manner, and Yuri showed she felt similar.

After that, neither one of them spoke.

Akiha was sitting on the fence, and Yuri was standing on it.

The two girls let the same wind blow against them quietly.

Suddenly, Akiha seemed to remember something, asking her.

「Yuri, got anyone you like？」

「Yes, I do」

「Ooo, what are they like？」

「……」

Yuri turned her head, thinking.

She looked around restlessly, showing that she was thinking about Akiha’s question.

「Id……iot？」

「Idiot？」

「Mhm……id, iot」

「An idiot, huh? I like those kinds」

「You, do？」

「I do」

「O, kay」

Yuri nodded, and silence drifted between them right afterward again.

Akiha was starting to get a good feeling about this atmosphere.

If she had “met her earlier”…she thought.

「……Hey hey, that’s where you’re supposed to ask me too」

「？」

Yuri tilted her head.

「Ya know, I’m saying things in an insinuating manner. Aren’t you supposed to respond with something like『And who do you like?』or『You fell in love with someone who isn’t an idiot?』?」

「I……am, supposed to？」

「That’s the idea」

「You want……me to ask, you?」

「……Well I’m not gonna force ya」

「O, kay」

Silence once again.

「Okay okay, just ask. You’re probably annoyed with me acting like a tsundere but ask me anyway」

「I don’t even……have, to」

「Huh？」

「Cause I……know who, you, like. A fairy……told, me」

「Didn’t know you were that sorta girl」

Yuri tilted her head in response.

「That sorta……gi, rl？」

「The type that talks about fairies and all that」

「There is……a, fairy」

「……Kay then」

Yuri spoke of a fairy.

If such a thing really existed――.

「If it’s really here……might be nice」

「It, might？」

「Yup. Like, I could say “Fairy-san Fairy-san, convey my feelings for me since I’m too cowardly”」

Akiha said, smiling mischievously.

That smile also looked like it was somehow lonely and resigned.

「You are really……okay with them, doing that？」

「If they really exist」

「Okay」

「Huh？」

「I will……let Fairy-san, know」

「Yuri, are you…actually an eccentric girl？」

「I leave it to you……Fairy-sa, n」

Yuri said at last, softly leaping off the fence.

She had actually leaped off of the roof.

「Hey！　――Wait, she landed just fine？」

Akha, who had panickedly looked down, was astonished at the white girl landing nonchalantly.

However, she ended up just accepting her as “one of those girls”.

She just had something about her that made her accept it.

Satisfied, Akiha looked up at the sky while sitting.

「Fairy-san, eh?」

She muttered.

「Geez！Yami-chan, you are so irresponsible」

Hera had been listening the entire time.
