As masters, at least in my eyes, Fuyuma and Yarn quickly adjusted their form and allowed the joint training to proceed quickly.

I sat by the window of the first music room, trying to see it all from the perspective of a spectator.

Haruki Kitahara's guitar after special training, the genius piano performance of Fuyuma and Sasa, and the near-professional singing voice of Yukina Kogi were just the first casual joint practice, and I was amazed by the unexpected harmony of the three. One can imagine how dazzling this trio will be when they get on stage, change into performance costumes and match the lights.

It was so dazzling that I felt a little alienated.

Although I have always disliked Haruki Kitahara, I have to admit his ability, although he is the worst of the three, but he is the most indispensable one, and he is the only one who can put together two girls like Fuyuma and Sasa and Yukina Kogi, who are diametrically opposed in terms of personality and habits.

It's not jealousy, it's just an inexplicable loss.

I think the Minister Iizuka across from me will have the same sense of loss - the feeling that I have participated in everything, but I don't belong to it. Of course, because of his sense of identification with the Light Music Club, and his sincere satisfaction with his good friends, he may not care too much about his loss. However, looking at his occasionally distracted eyes, I know that he still has this emotion inadvertently.

When the performance began, the world was only their audience except for the three performers.

This unexpected loss of consciousness lasted for a long time, so long that I didn't even expect the club activities to be over. Of course, maybe it's because the warm sun that comes in through the window in winter makes me feel a little too comfortable, so I'm reluctant to stand up, right?

Of course, if there is anything as warm as the sun in this world, perhaps, it is the concern of Kogi's predecessors.

"Kazuya, what's the matter, aren't you leaving?" Because my body blocked the sunlight, the face of the senior was hidden in the darkness, however, her beautiful long brown hair radiated a beautiful brilliance under the sunlight.

What does it mean to me? What does my attachment to Kogi's predecessors mean?

"Kazuya, are you asleep? listening to our performance, you will still fall asleep, how shocking are you?" said the senior a little complaining, and a little doting.

I don't know why, but a complicated thought suddenly rose in my heart - what would happen if I pretended to fall asleep like this?

It may have been one of the most irrational decisions of my life, but I couldn't resist the temptation of it.

"Hey, Kazuya, are you really asleep?" I felt a flash of cold slippery on my face, was that the hand of Kogi Yu's senior?

"Kazuya, I'm not the sister in charge of getting you up!"

I'm sorry, senior Xiao Muxi, I usually wake up my sister!

"Looks like I'm really asleep! ”

So, what's next? Wake me up?

If that's the case, then it doesn't meet my expectations, right?

So what are my expectations?

I heard the sound of a chair moving next to me, and Kogi seemed to be sitting down, and she didn't try to wake me up. She just, just kept talking.

"Actually, I said that I fell in love when I was in middle school, I really don't believe it! You, like all smart people, on the other hand, are really a little unenlightened! If you analyze it now, it makes sense for you to break up with Xiaochun, not because you have done anything wrong, but because, you think about the way things are, can you not go to death on such a road?"

Hey, you criticized me from the beginning or something, senior, it's too much.

"Kazuya can obviously not be a younger brother, but he must play the role of a younger brother in front of me, which also bothers me a lot! Although I am used to taking care of Takahiro at home, it doesn't mean that I like to be a sister very much! Although the sister of a person like Kazuya occasionally has a strong sense of accomplishment, and she was very happy at first, but, sure enough, please think more about your own Yui sister, right?

This is actually not my expectation.,Even the seniors of Xiao Mu Shu,Will be dissatisfied with my many times of fickle actions.,The previous break,In a sense,It's the performance of the seniors who are unwilling to accommodate me, right?

"But the question is, if I don't get along with Kazuya like my sister does with my brother, how should I get along with Kazuya? I always feel like I don't have a lot of friends who get along with me in the same way as before! It should be a little more equal, shouldn't it? Actually, Kazuya can do the same, be more equal, maybe change more things. ”

So, why not speak up?

"But if you can't say it, I'll be scared too? After all, you're one of the few people who knows that side of the little wood Yukina! If you were equal, wouldn't it be because I wasn't tolerant of you, and you would also feel that the seniors who didn't have a sister feeling were unreliable or something. On the one hand, I'm trying to find a change, and on the other hand, I'm looking for a balance in the change, and at the end of the day, I'm still scared!"

"Quarrel or something, it's like a normal way of getting along with friends, isn't it? Although, such bad things have happened, but, Kazuya, you're different from them, right? I know you're different, because you're still not good at lying, and from your eyes—well, now you can't see with your eyes closed, but, just other times, from your eyes, I can see your desire to communicate with me. What, now that you know this, then why go on so lukewarmly with you?"

"So that's the question I had at the beginning, isn't it? Kazuya, how did you get along with girls before? Girls, whether they get along with male friends or female friends, want each other to understand themselves, right? If all words have to be conveyed directly, then isn't there a lack of a sufficient sense of confidant?"

"As for why confidant is important, if you can't understand this, then I don't believe it!"

- Actually, this is understandable, but-

But you understand, but you don't know what I'm trying to say. Well, of course it's true, but I'm definitely not talking about it as a senior educating a junior, or as a person who has personal experience of sympathizing with Koharu, or even from the perspective of a friend asking his friend to help his ex-girlfriend. The reason why I suggest you help Koharu is, I know, you want to help Koharu - no matter how many negative reasons you give yourself, you are, want to help Koharu. ”

"Is this really so important? Human freedom, human unfreedom? You seem to like to talk about these things very much - philosophically I can't talk about you in these rules, and after saying your words I will not go to economics but to philosophy. However, I know a very simple theorem - I believe that if a person goes against his own heart, he will never be 'free'. So, Kazuya, what I wanted to tell you at the time was that if you really want to help Koharu, then you can help, absolutely, don't use any strange 'righteousness' to bind yourself!"

I felt like my body had frozen. Pretending to be asleep is to let myself hear some things that Kogi Senpai may not say to me, but I would never have thought that what I didn't understand all along, what Kogi Sao's seniors wanted to say to me so easily.

My theory of "freedom" is constantly being revised, and my interference with others, my understanding and domination of others, all stand under my theory of "freedom" - however, what my predecessors want to say to me is, don't you care about this strange "right theory"?

Even Xiao Mu Yu's seniors, when they say these words to me, are really - unacceptable!

"Of course, I know that you won't listen to these words when I say them to you. You seem to be dependent on me, but you haven't changed in the face of what you've decided, haven't you? Well, don't you seem to be talking about your sister?

"So, I didn't tell you what I thought, I want you to understand my idea yourself—and I, too, will prove my idea to Kazuya. Yukihama Kazuya-san, Yukina Kogi may not be good at reasoning - well, this seems to be something that Kitahara-san, whom you hate more, is good at?

So, senior, what are you going to do?

"I can't tell you what to do, who knows if you're pretending to be asleep?"

Ah, hey, is this seen through?

"Of course, even if you are really asleep, I can't tell you, because, some things, just like wishes, are said to be useless!

- Why?

"Because, I think, I'm ready. ”

The senior said something a little inexplicable.

Then, I felt as if something was on my body, warm and soft.

"You don't blame me for deliberately not waking you up, right? However, my scarf, but I'll give it to you! Kazuya-san's body that exercises regularly won't you catch a cold, right? Probably not? Well, then, you can probably go?"

Soon after, I heard the sound of the doors of the first music room closing.

I opened my eyes.

My mind is a mess, whether the senior of Xiao Mu Yu knows that I have been awake, whether the senior said these words, whether it is because I have fallen asleep, so I talk to myself, or because I feel that I have woken up, so I deliberately tell me these words that I am usually embarrassed to say, I don't know.

I was just clutching the scarf with the body temperature of my predecessor on my body, and I felt a little confused.

What confuses me even more is that my seniors tried to deny everything about me.

For a person who thinks and judges strictly according to his own philosophy, when a person whom he trusts tells him that you should be more casual, pay more attention to feelings, and appropriately not let yourself be kidnapped by reason, this person is chaotic.

Of course, from this point of view, it shows that I am not completely swayed by reason, because I am shaken by the words of the people I value who may not be true.

If a person goes against his own heart, then he will never be 'free'.

These words of my predecessor echoed in my ears like a curse. I'm a little bothered.

However, even if what my predecessors said was correct, I feel that, at least for now, I should continue on my own terms, at least at this cultural festival.

As if to echo my words, as I walked out of the school building, I met Yukino under the same tired face.

"Yo, Minister?"

"Hmm. ”

It's still as cold as ever, Minister under the snow, and sure enough, yesterday's performance is rare!

"So, why didn't you report today?" asked a strange question as he walked up to me quietly and naturally under the snow.

"Has the minister informed me?"

"I haven't been notified. ”

"So, do I have to go?"

"Not really. ”

"Uh, that's it, right?"

INTERVIEWER So, it's better to report on it tomorrow?

However, what is the matter with coming to me under the snow, wanting to go home with me?

But it really looked like it—because, I could see that under the snow beside me, my face was crimson, and my breathing was a little rapid.

"Well, I don't think it's possible, but, Minister, aren't you shy because you're nervous walking around me?"

"Yubihama, I advise you not to be so narcissistic. ”

"Haha, that's what I said, why is the minister's face so red-there is no sunset now!"

"Well, I'm a little unwell and a little cold. ”

"Ah, no wonder that's the case. ”

Well, that would explain it.

— and it would explain what happened five seconds later.

Under the snow, Yukino fell limply in front of me like a kite with a broken string.

When I subconsciously reached out to catch my body under the snow, I realized that the minister, she was definitely not just "a little cold".

Then, I remembered what Minister Yuki had said a long, long time ago: "I don't feel very confident when I only have physical strength!"
