Ordinary I and Extraordinary Them

…………

Suddenly, I keep quiet about the question.

It is not a difficult question to answer.

I already have the answer in me.

That's been around for quite some time, too.

No, I should say it didn't change, rather than say it was out.

But if Yudo's words were a lie, and the two of them weren't dating.

I know the answer to this question will hurt her.

For me, a woman named Shizuku Kanzaki...

"Shizuku is... just a childhood tame"

Clarified and told Yudo.

Yes, Shizuku is just a childhood tame.

A relationship that is more intimate than a friend, but that much.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I often say less than a friend, less than a lover, to a really close opposite sex, but it's a little different than that.

But childhood... Shizuku is definitely categorized as some kind of special person for me.

My dear man, maybe that's what I can say.

But there is no such emotion as Yudo's love for Shizukuishi.

Shizuku and I held hands and never wanted to walk together.

For her, I've never wanted to be the most important person.

I've never even thought about her standing next to me in the future, and it's hard to imagine.

I can never imagine it because it's Shizuku.

It's fundamentally unimaginable.

There's a line of non-family people next to me.

"Isn't Kanzaki-san your preference?

"I can't believe I like it... I'm in a position to say"

If I say that, Shizuku's followers will attack me.

This is not a matter of preference.

simpler, and hence a major problem.

"... how does it feel to like people in the first place?

Words were unconsciously out there.

What's different from the emotions you think you like about your family?

I like maples.

As a sister, as a family.

Of course, my parents like me as a parent.

I just don't see what's the difference between how you feel about my family and how you feel about someone who likes Yudo or Shizukuishi.

To tell the truth, it's also why I turned down help from both of them during spring break.

It's no lie that I turned you down because it's troublesome.

I didn't want to get involved with this hand problem because it's easy to take care of.

But it's harder to help the two of us in a real way than I know the emotions that make me like someone other than my family myself.

Because I'm sure if you two are worried or frustrated about romance, I don't know why.

I see you throwing cold words at me.

"I think that's for each person, but should I say that the world looked radiant after I had someone I liked...... I feel fulfilled"

"Then my world is monochrome."

To the extent that the two of you can't hear me, I leak my voice.

Isn't it right for me?

A plain world of white and black.

Every day is boring, boring days.

When was the last time you felt that your day had been fulfilled, many things you felt tired.

At least in my memory, I've never seen the world shine.

"Are you satisfied with this?

"Ah......"

I don't think I got the right answer to the question.

But Yudo nods small, as if he was convinced somewhere.

Then the harsh look you were showing earlier goes back to the usual refreshing look, like a lie.

Like something bad fell out.

"Well, that means there's still a lot of potential."

"... what?

What are the possibilities?

By the way, could I like Shizuku in the future?

Right now, Yudo's gaze, which should have been directed at me until this moment, was directed at the entrance stairs of the park behind me.

Looking back, I look ahead to Yudo's gaze.

Kirasaka was similarly pointing her face towards the entrance.

"Cha-jun..."

"You... you were here"

It was Shizuku Kanzaki, the person in the vortex, who was coming down from it.
