74 74 The determination of angels (2/2)
”What are you going to do...”
”... do you want to hear it?
”Sort of.”
”Wouldn't you be angry?
”Are you going to get mad?”
At this rate, it seems to be something that concerns me, so I will have to ask.
I'm not so worried because midday doesn't hurt people first, but what does she intend to do?
Staring at her, she dyed her cheeks slightly if she was embarrassed, intertwining both index fingers to show a gesture of hesitation.
”... I want to get along with Zhou-kun, even at school”
I guess stopping being patient means stopping pretending to be someone else.
”You know what?”
”I'm the only one who seems to be hurt.”
”Ugh.”
When they say that with a slightly squeaky face, it's weak.
Zhou has spoken normally to a thousand years old for a long time, so he can talk to Zhou and the two of them who know the middle of the day as usual in school. It's just that you can't talk to boulders at midday, and when a thousand years old comes to talk to a tree, midday falls off the hook.
I seem to have other friends in my class, but I haven't broken them down as much as a thousand years old, so I really look a little lonely. Of course I wrap it up with an angel smile, but I still perceive it as lonely around me that I'm used to.
I know that and I want to do something about it, but it wasn't something I could snort at if I was in a boulder.
”... but it's weird that angels suddenly get along with plain yinca like me, isn't it?
”It's woven there. I have an idea.”
”Exactly Corrected”
”Naturally.... Zhou Kun is inferior to himself more than I am, or self-denial is the problem, because I will also try to make Zhou Kun feel confident”
”What are you thinking...”
I had guessed that I was lonely out there, but I didn't even think I was going to actively try to get involved.
Am I supposed to be happy or bitter, nostalgic like I can't think of when I met you?
”... No, is it? I'll talk to you at school...”
”Of course I don't hate it, but come on. Like me...”
”Zhou-kun”
The voice calling his name to block was, Rin, somewhere to blame.
”It's forbidden like me.”
Zhou Kun had a habit of humiliating herself, so she poked Zhou's nose with her index finger at midday, as she was slightly angry.
”Next time I say... uh, I will”
”Meh.”
”Meh, I'll stick around and stroke my head until I feel better as a punishment”
”It's more of a reward...”
”Eh.”
”Ah.”
I accidentally leaked the truth, and my cheeks were tight.
Obviously, I said it was a reward to be stroked in the middle of the day, but I shouldn't have said this to the boulders.
At midday I look around at the evidence and solidify, then blush and grate my cheeks.
I guess you didn't think punishment was a reward. It seemed like midday around too much adorable punishment and not so much punishment.
Zhou also got some greed out of his mouth, so he didn't open his mouth and the silence came.
We wandered our gazes around each other and were busy hanging around for a while, but let them spread their hands gently around us with a windy look that midday had decided to make.
”... and do you?
I guess this means you can jump in there and stroke your head.
If I do that, my head will definitely boil up, so I can't. No, I was very impressed with the offer, but it wouldn't be a good idea for me to snuggle up with obnoxious thoughts, even though I'm not at all easy on myself and don't doubt my other intentions around me.
I did not transfer it to the execution of what I had drunk of sawdust and saliva, but shook my head and returned it with a salutation, ”Fine.”
It was impossible to indulge in the softness of a boulder with a face that did not eat.
”You don't try to be a man about that. If you want to do it, make it a thousand years old.”
”... Chitoshi feels more in danger, doesn't he?
”He can wear it when he gets sexually harassed. And don't hesitate to beat me up if I try anything else.”
”I don't doubt Zhou-kun for saying that. And anyway, next time I say it, I'll fluff my hair!
At midday when she was not going to change her punishment in the end, Zhou, who presumably perceived that shame and reason would be a big deal when punished, vowed to stop humiliating herself as much as possible before her.
