121 121 Angels Popularity (1/2)
”Hey, Tree.”
”What a friend.”
”... have you become more popular in the middle of the day than you were before dating?
”Well,” affirmed the tree, to the words he muttered as he watched her cope with the sneering, even though she was surrounded by many classmates in the classroom.
It's been two weeks since I've been dating, but I don't know that my midday popularity will wane. Rather, it is becoming more popular.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was originally the first popular of the school year, but it was becoming more surrounded.
It's fine because there are more ratios of women than men, but it can be subtly complicated to watch them also get an enthusiastic gaze from boys.
”Well, I can see why Mr. Vertebra has become more popular.”
”What do you mean?
”I don't know... it feels like I've been on the other side of the showcase before, but now I guess I can feel it close to me. I think it was because Vertebra, who wanted to get close to me, stuck with Zhou and showed her the face of one girl.”
Indeed, the quality of my smile changed since I started socializing with Zhou at midday.
Of course there are angel laughs, but I'm starting to show the vegan side. More often than not, she smiled like a girl of her age.
Little by little, I am glad that I started to show myself without acting as an angel, but at the same time I feel a little complicated about the fact that the smile that only I know has diminished.
While I wanted you to know that I was just a girl, not an idol, I felt self-loathing for this contradiction, which I would no longer know about.
”I don't know, it's complicated after all. A face that only someone close to me knew would reveal. I should have been happy with that, but I would have done something about it. I think he's a very narrow man.”
”It's an expression of a desire for exclusivity.... Well, you don't have all the faces floating around right now. There 'll be plenty of faces to show you.”
”It's, well”
The face that looks embarrassed when touched and then seeps in joy, the disgruntled face with the little balloon on both cheeks that shows when stubborn, and the sweet smile that snuggles like a honey-smoked sponge that shows when spoiled, are all things only the perimeter can see.
”Besides, you're the one who changed the vertebrae, and it's that smile you had, so don't mess with me.” You're cute at midday, ”
”... I can't claim my stuff that far, but I'll try not to be jealous.”
”... you can't claim what's mine. Just keep it snuggly in public.”
