No one is waiting.

Rather, I'm the one waiting, and South is waiting.

Of course I'm waiting for you.

Talk to me after you eat.

I warned him not to talk at this hour with such a big parfait spoon in his mouth, but he took a gulp and drank something down.

"Can I finish my food first? The ice cream is going to melt, that is.

"...... Oh

The parfait is a very good idea, but you can't get away from it.

I'm going to ask for a coffee instead to pass the time until I finish eating.

The store was empty, so I sipped my coffee that came quickly, and looking at the south, it looks like an ordinary college student happily munching on a parfait.

This is still the commander in chief of our party .

You can use a variety of supportive magic to suit the situation and is one of the backbone of our party.

It's a reliable presence in the dungeon, but it wouldn't look so good if it showed this much slackness.

Then again, it's late.

It's true that I made you wait, but that's an unreasonable thing for me to say as I was waiting to eat.

It took me about 30 minutes to finish the last ice cream.

After finishing the last ice cream and with a satisfied smile, Minami complained to me about making me wait, but even I couldn't tolerate her words.

I was about to let out a sigh when I was going to tell you something important.

Well, okay. I guess that's why you're here.

"Isn't it about victory?

Before I could get to the point, Minami aloofly and trivially guessed my business.

She doesn't wait for my answer as she shakes her spoon of parfait, as if she realizes what the problem is.

I would understand if I was the only one called in, that I would. But looking at the leader, the situation doesn't look good. But still, well, you're troubled, that I'm not sure.

Minami proceeded as if to say that the same thing had happened in the past.

"Again, were you aware of Katsu's situation?

It's not quite that close, that it is, but it's a little different. It's like a prediction that I was half convinced by experience, that it's just a little bit, that it's just a little bit, that it's just a little bit. Most of them are trying to cling to their current position because they are anxious that I've come to live a normal life and am no longer handy. It's really the same as before, that it is.

I know you've been talking about expectations, but I know that this is not a welcome situation for the South.

I have no idea what the reason for that is.

But from the way Minami talks, it sounds like she knew this would happen eventually.

When it comes to the way you talk, that is. When you say it that way, you're still acting out what you've been saying about being a pain in the ass, right?

I don't do things that I'm not interested in or don't want to do, that I don't do. But if you say that I don't have the minimum standard of living skills, I'd say that's not true.

A misty existence.

I thought he was elusive to begin with, but I thought I knew the personality of the south because I knew him to some extent.

But I need to change that perception a bit.

I have a glimpse into the depths of her current thoughts, which she called the fog, and I'm even more blinded, and I don't know what her intentions are.

If you ask her if it was intentional for her to get into the situation she is in now, the answer will sound like she is affirming it while sounding different.

It's time to go to the limit, that it is. Your relationship with Katsu, and Katsu himself.

But then she comes out from behind the fog like she's holding out a treasure chest of information that I want to know.

"You seem to be on your feet, but you're not, that you are. That's why you're wobbly if your position is affected even a little bit, as it was here. He depends mostly on others and has no autonomy, that he does. Always chasing and not coming forward on your own.

"South?

There is no trace of the figure that had been deliciously munching on the parfait just a moment ago, looking out the window sadly.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

Well, I can't speak for others either, that I can't. It's the same with me, that I can't speak for others either. I'm just a loser and I'm just a loser, that I am.

Like a clown standing alone on the stage of a circus tent where the audience has disappeared, far removed from her usual atmosphere, Minami spins words.

It's a story told backstage.

This is the miserable struggle of a foolish woman who fell in love with a younger boy who had a crush on another woman, that is.

Another side

A man and a woman named Tokorozawa Masaru and Shiretoko Minami met just because they were relatives.

If you ask them if there is anything special about it, they assure you that there is not.

At the time Minami was a junior high school student and Katsu was an elementary school student.

It's a commonplace scene of adults having a difficult conversation with each other while children are bored.

In the midst of all this, a boy named Masaru, quietly, as the adults around him would have it, simply stands by his parents' side, waiting for them to finish their conversation without complaint.

On the contrary, Minami had quickly become bored with the conversation between the parents and was absorbed in the game he had brought with him.

Their children's evaluations of each other are diametrically opposed.

Masaru is called respectable even though he is in elementary school, and Minami is scolded for playing games all the time.

They recognized each other as relatives, but that was the only point of contact.

It was partly because of the age difference between them.

From Minami's point of view, he was a younger boy who was more respected than she was, and she didn't like him as she was entering puberty.

I'm not sure I want to have anything to do with Minami, who is constantly scolding me.

The two, who would never get involved if this was the case, were brought together by a girl who was even older than them.

She was older than Minami, a high school student, and from Minami's point of view, she was the last person she wanted to be associated with.

Wow! How are you doing, Masaru?

The girl who deliberately sneaks around to play a prank on you, knowing what your relatives will do, and surprises you by sneaking around behind your back and smiling at your face.

Her atmosphere lights up the place, and her smile makes all sorts of people smile, and with her good-natured nature there is no ill feeling towards her.

South understood.

This emotion is jealousy, an ugly mind that is coveting.

Minami, who was constantly being compared to her, quickly raised her gaze from the game.

Midori.

There was a young boy, Masaru, who showed a look of relief.

It's no secret that the girl who calls out to Katsu, Midori Kawasaki and Katsu are close friends.

You can see that the feelings that Katsu and Minami have for her are diametrically opposed.

You'll be able to see that you're not the only one who's longing for them, but also jealousy that they have something that they don't.

The emotions of a child are irrelevant to the adults around them.

You're going to be able to get the most out of it.

Seeing this scene, Minami had returned to the game world without a care in the world.

On the other side of the screen, the being he had raised was traveling in a world different from reality.

Minami wondered how long she had been expecting the other side of this screen without expecting such a reality.

You understand that it was a waste of time, but you just couldn't stop hoping.

See! Minami-chan with you!

Even as she was looking at such a different world, a bright word came into her sight.

At the time Minami interrupted the game when her own name was called and said, "No, I'm fine.

No, I'm fine.

Look the other person square in the face and say no.

A clear refusal, but at the very least you choose your words and take care not to make the other person uncomfortable.

The people around you are frowning at Midori's invitation, and you are having a whispered conversation with the person sitting next to you.

You'll be able to get a good deal more information on the subject.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to do.

"Midori invited me here. You too, don't just play games.

Once he received attention from his own mother as well, there was no choice but to resist South.

That's why the South is driven by violence in numbers.

"...... Okay.

"Thank God!

Stifle a sigh and be carried away by the opinions of those around you.

This sunny smile is defeated, a scene that is always repeated.

Only Minami feels defeated, and from Midori's point of view, it wouldn't even be a match.

You can't keep on telling yourself that this sun is right just because of the opinions of the people around you, without being able to follow your will.

This scene was repeated every time I was invited to a gathering of relatives.

And the time passed and it was when Minami was in high school.

She learned a lot and learned the art of living.

People won't complain about you as long as you have a higher-than-average academic score.

Do not go against your parents' wishes.

That way, your world is protected.

And...

"Yoo-hoo! Minami-chan, long time no see, how have you been doing?

It's been a long time. Midori-san.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It's also a relative's gathering, and although I hated to go to this day, I understood that if I didn't go, I would be told something later, so I hid my poor health and intended to spend this day in peace.

You can find a lot of people who have been in the same boat for a long time.

The story is about her past.

She used to be a little dark, but she's been praised for growing up.

But.

Maybe it's because Midori was with me. You've grown up a lot more.

The word always haunts me.

To a relative, it may be a casual word, but to Minami, it was a word that gave her an even worse headache.

You want to loudly deny that this is not true, but Minami, who has learned to weigh the effort of doing so against the return, easily put away her feelings.

You are able to get the most out of it.

Even though you're in bad shape today, you'll feel noticeably worse when you're mentally challenged.

You get up and go out into the hallway to use the restroom.

It was time to take a breath of fresh air to refresh yourself.

Are you all right, Mr. Minami?

The door that was supposed to be closed opened, and out of it came a petite but grown-up middle schooler named Katsu.

"Yes, it's okay,

For a moment there was a thrill, but Minami thought it couldn't have been noticed and got through the moment with a smile.

Excuse me.

That's what I should have thought.

I stood up straight and reached out and put my hand on Minami's forehead.

I knew you had a fever.

From the south, where people don't usually worry.

"Come and rest.

Even if it is hypocrisy, even if this boy wishes to be close to the Master of the Sun and tries to do this kind of thing.

Oh, yes.

She was perplexed by the act of pulling back her hand and worrying about her without anyone noticing.

She was even more caught off guard because she thought she herself understood that Masaru disliked Minami.

Quickly lay out the bedding, make sure it was rested, prepare thermometers and water, and so on.

The question of why he would be so eager to do so much work came into Minami's head.

But the question remained unspoken.

Thank you.

"No.

Just a few words of thanks.

This is the first time Minami thought that these words were the words that connected Minami and Katsu.

Katsu may not remember.

It's just that this is certainly the first time that Nichinan became aware of the boy named Katsu.

And at the same time.

"Huh? What's wrong, Minami? Are you sick?

"Ah, Midori. Oh, Midori.

Hi, Masaru. Sorry I'm late.

It's a good thing that you're able to understand why Masaru nursed Minami so diligently.

It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Minami-san seemed to be in bad shape.

"So you've been taking care of him...great! That's a boy!

And Katsu is embarrassed and pleased by Midori's unreserved praise.

Just from the atmosphere alone, Minami could tell.

A fleeting, boy's love.

The result of the boy's efforts to appear as cool as possible.

In Minami's mind, the boy who had always been serious, serious, and uptight, understood that even Katsu, who had always thought him to be a serious boy, had a cute side.

Minami is a flower girl.

It's not that I'm not interested in talking about love.

The adolescence that Minami thought would be unrelated to her.

Seeing that, this disgusting family gathering also gave Minami a little fun.

I'll go explain it to my uncles then!

"Yes, please.

After receiving a round of compliments, Minami saw Midori off when she went to show up at a relative's gathering.

"Do you like Midori?

"What?

Looking back, it was really easy to make fun of Katsura for the first time in my life.

Word of the Day

Depending on the time and how it works, the result will vary.
