Chapter 445: The One I Love The Mos (2/2)

“There’s a move like that!?”

“Yeah. Master’s super talented, y’know? She even said she could kill off a parasite inside her body.”

“That’s totally a lie.”

Taiyou interjected, but

“…It is a lie, right?”

Taiyou timidly asked.

He still didn’t believe it, but this was Ruri they were talking about.

“Yeah, I’m kidding. But she can actually kill off a virus.”

“That’s even more difficult to accomplish!”

He interjected again.

“Alright, how about I get a towel to cool her off?”

“I’ll do it.”

“Whaaa, no it’s fine, you should just go off and spend time with someone. Leave Aoba to me.”

“I can’t enjoy anything knowing what’s going on with her.”

“Mm, yeah I guess you have a point.”

Akiha quickly gave in.

Taiyou and Akiha tended to Aoba.

“Aoba’s been like this since a while back, actually.”

“Like what?”

“Getting over-excited and collapsing with a fever.”

“Ahh, that kind of pattern.”

“And every time Mio-san stays by her side and tends to her, if I recall.”

“That sounds like Mio-san alright.”

The two of them engaged in small talk as they helped Aoba.

Suddenly, Taiyou realized something.

“You and Aoba have been best friends since way back, right?”

“Well, it was a bit different at first. I really liked her after all.”

Akiha’s love.

Now it was a different kind of love.

“So you know a lot about Aoba, things that even I don’t.”

“What what, you jealous?” (/*note: jealous is “shitto” in Japanese)

“Not jealous, I just would like to know more too.”

“Aw c’mon, be jealous!”

“You want me to?”

“Well yeah, of course. Why wouldn’t I?”

“Okay then.”

“If you get jealous then I’m willing to tell you all sorts of things.”

Akiha winked.

“How do you tell if I’m jealous? Do I have to yell out ‘JEALOUS’ or something?”

“Nope, sounds like the English cuss word now. Japanese only please.”

“Sounding it out is that much of an issue?”

“Mmm, Aoba, huh? She was always normal, I can say that much.”

“Is it really okay to call someone you liked ‘normal’?”

“But she is though. I mean not anymore, but she used to be. Loved her father and mother. Mm, yup, she was really normal.”

Akiha folded her arms in a thinking posture, but she wasn’t really saying much other than how Aoba was normal.

“So she was normal, and that’s why you started liking her. I guess? Meanwhile, you’re not normal in the slightest sense.”

“Non non, that’s wrong, Taiyou-kun.”

Akiha shook a finger, speaking in a dramatic voice.

“Not because she was normal, but because she’s Aoba.”

“Okay. So how about now?”

“Of course I still like her. I love her the second most in the world.”

“You’re an incredible woman.”

Taiyou smiled awkwardly.

And no, he did not ask her who number one was.Please go to
