After Coincidentally Saving the New Transfer Student's Little Sister, We Gradually Grew Closer

Zhang, depressed because Emma slapped him in the hand, walked home alone with Tobotobo.

I thought I felt sorry for her when she looked at her unwell back, but when she spoke poorly, she was going to let me down the other way, so I decided to watch her sock.

... Something's wrong with me these days...

"- Mmm... hmm..."

Emma, in her arms, was in a bad mood and pressed her face against my chest when she confirmed that the award was gone.

I don't know if I want to be sweet, but I'm pressing my gritty face.

You were satisfied with that when I caressed your hair gently, and Griggly stuck her ears against my chest.

She's probably trying to sleep because she stopped moving.

"The kid is so vigilant, he immediately hates it when he does something before he breaks his guard. You'll be worried about the future."

As I gently stroked Emma's head, Shull, still smiling to fix it, talked to me.

You don't seem to be going to stop smiling this way even if Award is gone.

Instead, maybe you're putting up with me not to worry.

"I think Emma's gonna change as she grows up, and she's gonna be fine."

I'm worried about Charles' smile, but I decided to talk to him.

Instead, if Emma's cute, I feel like she's going to be popular even if she has a ruthless personality.

I wonder if they will treat me like a high temper or something and treat me like a flower in a high ridge.

But I don't want that to happen to me, because the real cuteness of this kid is in the sweet spot inside, not in his appearance.

I guess Emma thinks it's a story that has nothing to do with her because we're talking in Japanese, she didn't try to move just by putting some effort into her hands.

When I want to get into the conversation, I ask for proper English, so I guess sleeping is a priority now rather than speaking.

"More than that, isn't Charles got something to say?

After finishing the story once, now cut the story out of me.

I know you're worried about Emma's future, but Char doesn't really want to talk about it.

But I don't want to be noticed by the thoughts I have, so I guess I've been ahead of Emma on the subject.

"What is it? Nothing in particular from me."

You pretend to be nothing, but you can see you're distancing yourself from me from the way you talk.

How long do you think we've been together, albeit for a short time?

That's no way to be fooled.

"Shull, I'm not asking you to tell me everything, but I don't want you to hide your feelings issues. If we do that, our relationship will be broken."

This is a slightly sloppy threat, but I'm not saying it in a big way.

There are limits to continuing to be patient.

And that, the grievances accumulated so far, will explode at once, until an irrevocable big fight.

I know that.

"... I don't like that... I hate to break up with you, Ming Man..."

"Oh, no, I'm not saying we're breaking up, because if we keep putting up with it, we might...!

Seeing Shall suddenly about to cry out, I follow him in a hurry.

What I was trying to say was that I didn't want you to be patient, but it seems that Charles weighed in on the part about breaking up.

Where I am anxious, I may have gone further in pursuit.

"I know... but... I don't like it... When I think about breaking up... I'm scared..."

"It's okay, 'cause we're not breaking up! Because I just wanted to tell you that I don't want you to be patient!

I didn't think Shall would care so far.

Is Aki making her so nervous?

Or are there other causes...?

"Because it's okay. I may be persistent, but I really love Charles."

I leaned over and stopped saying anything. Shall I say again, this time gently.

That makes Charles stare me in the face with an upbeat look, but he doesn't try to say anything.

How can I reassure her?

If it's not conveyed in words, it's in action - so you just thought you didn't like it.

... but if we face it right and sincerely, isn't that something too?

At least I feel better than holding my hand like this.

I just can't possibly just hold hands.

I didn't feel it would resonate in her mind with the acts I had already done, or anything similar.

I've only ever been able to hold him, but I don't think the act of holding hands has changed that much.

So let's just take one more step.

That's about as much as Charles would accept.

- I didn't want anyone to see me, even though it was a night lane, and I decided on my mind to do something when I got home to reassure Shall.
