In an instant, there seemed to be only the air left between the two of them.

At the same time, in this unspeakable silence, each other seems to have a feeling of being stuck in their throats. I may not see you tomorrow morning......

However, they all seem intent on deliberately disrupting this seemingly rare silence.

But if it continues like this, it will definitely not work, right? Certainly, the feeling of not wanting to be separated at this moment will never be just one-sided wishful thinking. So—

"Asleep?"

With such an understatement-sounding tone, it was Lila who opened the conversation.

"I can't sleep."

Immediately afterward, Lemuel simply admitted it. He would not allow himself to be easily swallowed up by drowsiness in any case, because opportunities like this were likely to ......

Can't look forward any longer.

So even if you maintain the status quo all night long, you won't have the slightest complaint.

"Now, let's kiss?"

Leela silently threw out a sentence that seemed to have no meaning......

"Huh? I'm not so hungry! ”

"After all, I just did it two days ago.... Something, don't make me think about it! ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, right? Don't want to? ”

Isn't that good at all?! This guy did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!!

But why is it that this request is suddenly made so abruptly...... He really didn't understand.

"What, don't you want to do it?"

"How could you not want to......"

“...... Is it? ”

- How could she not want to do it, in fact, to be honest, if she allowed it, she really wanted to act right now......

It's just that I always feel that there is a feeling of uneasiness and fear everywhere in these words. What's going on here? What does she mean by that?

But now it's more convenient to follow her wishes than to rack your brains for answers to these questions, right?

"Well, if you don't mind, I'm happy to do it......"

The moment each other's words just fell, they ...... each other In the blink of an eye, his lips overlapped without hesitation—

The kiss is slightly bitter and slightly sweet like mint.

It's just that the smell of the breath freshener is a little stronger.

- "Satisfied?" ”

This kind of question is simply superfluous, because you only need to look at her reluctant gaze to understand-

It's like saying...... "Do it again".

"So, again?"

Then, without waiting for Lila to nod, he kissed him again as if he couldn't wait!

Until both of them looked a little out of breath.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I've been like this, right? Are you getting more proficient? ”

With her slightly charming tone, I really can't tell whether she is hurting people or complimenting sincerely.

"Do you hate me being like this?"

"No, how can you be annoying? Because I made you like this, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, the corners of Lila's mouth rose slightly-

"Just now, you were a little flustered, weren't you?"

"Aren't you the same?"

He shot back unceremoniously......

Outside the window, it seems that all that is left is the occasional wind and the sporadic sound of insects.

"You, do you have something to say to me?"

Finally, Lemuel couldn't help but ask.

Even if he knew that once he brought up this topic, he would not hesitate to spoil the atmosphere that had been brewing so hard.

“...... Exposed? ”

But if you think about it carefully, it's a matter of course, it's the first time I've been so proactive-

There must be a sense of disobedience, right?

"I'm sorry, but I was going to do as much as I could during this time like my girlfriend would have done......"

“......”

"But now it seems that things have backfired, so ...... I always feel sorry. ”

INTERVIEWER What do you mean by "doing something like a girlfriend"? Her words made Lemuel not know what to do for a moment.

"It's okay, I'm used to it-"

Sure enough, that sounds more perfunctory, right? But that's all I can say now......

"What's wrong? Do you always seem to feel like you're a little depressed? ”

"Nothing."

"When you have something on your mind, you always use this sentence to prevaricate me?"

“...... That's just your delusion! ”

She accentuated her tone slightly.

"Really?"

“......”

- for what you desire, and what I desire to give you...... I can't do any of that......

Leela couldn't help but think so.

However, I couldn't bear to say something like this in front of him.

So I can only apologize first......

"I'm sorry."

"Why apologize?"

In an instant, he was stunned......

I don't understand what the cause and effect look like. That's it, though......

"Just now, I was called by Riveria before I came to see you...... That guy confessed to me, huh? ”

"Confession? What do you mean? ”

At the moment when Lela's words fell, Lemuel's eyes couldn't help but start looking left and right—

That's right, but whenever he wants to fool around, or lie, he can't help but do it.

However, at this moment, he did not allow him to show such an attitude......

If it were a normal day, maybe you would turn a blind eye, right?

But only at this moment, I don't want to see him show such an attitude-

In that case, rack your brains to find a reason; Find an excuse to avoid the next question you are about to throw...... of this attitude.

"Now that your attitude is useless, is it? Especially in front of me. ”

"Actually, what am I going to say next...... Or what to ask? You know all about it, right? ”

“...... What do you mean? ”

He clearly wanted to follow through on this attitude. In a word, it is-

Even if I already know this, I don't intend to admit it......

Pretend to be stupid and stunned to the end! ...... self-deception!

This guy is really stubborn and admirable.

However, the biggest reason why he adopted such an attitude was actually out of himself.

- Leela knows this better than anyone......

The so-called gentleness sometimes twists mercilessly into the most poisonous poison -

For example, the present at this moment.

"Are you still going to hide it? She's already told me everything, huh? Even if that's the case, you're not going to admit it, are you? ”

As soon as her words fell, I saw the corners of Lemuel's lips twitch violently!

- Yes, she undoubtedly knows better than anyone what she wants to say.

But even so, he was reluctant to face that fact in this way.

"And that includes...... She actually likes you—"

- "Don't say it...... I don't want to hear anything like that from you! ”

Resistance, rejection, and hysterical struggle, these feelings of his ......

At this moment, I felt it fully and clearly.

How much he resisted it, how much he was afraid of Riveria's feelings.

And, how much I hate myself now......

Hear these words with your own ears from those who are least willing to hurt......

Whether that's a question or a conclusion. That is the most cruel punishment!

“...... What exactly do you think about Riveria? Just friends? Or do you actually treat her too—"

Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through his words when he was mercilessly interrupted by Lemuel -

"My feelings have been ...... since then From the beginning, it hasn't changed! ”

Suddenly, he became very excited—and it was understandable to think about it......

After all, anyone who is suspected by the closest person will feel uncomfortable, right?

My own joke does seem to be a bit too much......

"Really, not even once!"

"From the first time we met at a banquet?"

"Don't ask knowingly!"

Although it was only for a moment, she smiled when she heard the answer with her own ears.

This made Lemuel can't help but hug the somewhat smug Lela.

But in the blink of an eye, he was depressed and lost to himself—

“...... Yes yes yes yes got it, I was wrong......"

"Really, you calm down...... I'm not questioning that, I just want to know what you think—"

"Really? But your tone just now really doesn't mean that at all......"

"Why?"

"Because, I'm scared that if I say I like that guy, you'll not hesitate to give me to her!"

Unconsciously...... I always feel that he is a little cute at this moment and he is angry with himself.

"Why do you think you're so cute—"

As soon as the words fell, Leela couldn't help but pinch Lemuel's cheeks for a while-

"Really, how could I possibly let you out. To me, you're the kind of thing that won't sell even if someone asks for a high price, huh? ”

In other words, it's not for sale, it's priceless! Do you understand? You are such a presence for me. ”

However, at this time, she took advantage of the situation and changed the conversation again-

"But there's no doubt that you really like Riveria, right?"

"The reason why I feel that I can't accept her feelings is just that I'm worried about being sorry, right?"

As he spoke, he hugged him in his arms, without saying a word and biting his lip tightly - from behind.

“......”

At this moment, Lemuel was dying of guilt......

Even if this guy doesn't say a word, he knows all this.

After all, that's what the so-called "lovers" are all about.

But that's the kind of thing...... It is a "taboo" existence that can only be tacitly tacitly understood forever.

No matter who you are, once you actively touch it, you will be hurt by a thousand holes!

The proof is his current expression......

"Lemuel, I sometimes wonder what it would be like if we could meet each other in a time of relative peace of mind......

"Will you still like me as much as you do now, and will I accept you as a matter of course?"

However, when you think about these things now, you can't help but think - is this person a fool?

It's pointless now, isn't it?

Because, a person is not capable of ...... It is impossible to try to change the status quo......

"Will we fall in love and get married like ordinary couples—and then ......?"

As she spoke, even Lila herself didn't notice that she was crying......

And yet she didn't want that at all!

However, even if you work hard, you can't stop the tears!

"What the hell! How do you ......"

Immediately afterwards, the two looked at each other, crying and laughing......

I don't know what kind of expression to use to face each other in the blink of an eye.

"If, I'm just saying if...... So this is hypothetical at best...... If I do die one day, you will accept her, right? ”

"Okay......

Such a request, according to Lemuel's character, would never have acceded to it.

However, he made it on the basis of understanding, and knowing how he would answer.

In short, he is forcing him to agree in the way he dislikes the most and at the same time hates the most-

Of course, the results can't be so smooth.

"Don't! It's like you're really going to do that...... In short, dismissed! ”

“......”

See? That's why I say this kind of thing...... This kind of problem is a dead hole that he must never touch......

- Because this guy is so gentle, it's so much so that once this relationship loses the object of sustenance, it will become a mess.

However, this is a reality that has to be faced - because that guy is obviously more qualified to be by his side than himself......

I have understood this kind of thing from the beginning.

However, even so, she still couldn't extricate herself and let herself be dominated by her insistent feelings......

As a result, the moment he came back to his senses, he had become such a relationship with him.

"No kidding——!"

Lemuel clenched his fists tightly, and as if he did his best to squeeze this sentence out of his teeth—

"No, I'm serious......"

"Me too!"

However, it was clear that Lila had no intention of telling him what he thought in such a tone as "joking" and mentally prepared to do so.

“...... But at the end of the day, it's just a hypothesis! ”

"What, did you mean it just now?"

- Anyone would take it seriously if they made it so serious, right?!

Although Lemuel really wanted to refute it for a moment, he finally realized that he was just being played mercilessly......

I was really relieved......

How is that possible?

"Your personality is too bad, are you so happy to tease me?"

- At this moment, his cheeks bulged like a bullfrog, and his face was full of unhappiness.

"Hey, hey, what do you say?"

Immediately afterwards, Lela, who didn't have time to react, was knocked down-

Then, he was retaliated against fiercely......

“？！”

"I surrender, I surrender!! So...... Ahh Don't scratch anymore, don't scratch anymore...... It's too much! ”

"Hahahahaha! So—"

In the blink of an eye, she burst into tears with laughter......

After that, it seems that both of them are tired -

So they all greeted the dawn in the exhaustion as if they couldn't move.

"Really, I slept so soundly......"

Of course, the first to wake up was of course myself-

This guy has a natural habit of lazy bed, so unless he is really woken up, it is impossible to wake up.

And, even now, I can hear the impossibly well-proportioned breathing—

To be honest, this defenseless appearance really makes people want to bully......

But for now, forget it, right? Compared to this-

Didn't miss this guy's sleeping face, and sure enough, he made money in every sense.

But at this moment, there is no doubt that the time has come to leave-

"I'm sorry ......"

At this moment, of course, Riveria was the only one who watched him leave this room.

Standing at the door at this moment, her expression was indescribably terrible......

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... I-"

Immediately afterward, she apologized for hearing something she shouldn't have heard last night......

"I know, you don't need to explain anything-"

If only the status quo is maintained......

If you continue to feel like someone, why not?

And if that's not even allowed, wouldn't that be too cruel?

At the end of the day, this kind of thing...... What's wrong with feelings like this?

And who can accuse with a high-sounding voice?

“......”

Unconsciously, it was as if the person sitting on the chair had become himself......

How can such wishful thinking and delusions be realized?

Riveria couldn't help but laugh at herself for her stupidity.

"Get up, how long are you going to sleep!"

In an instant, at this time when the sun had fully risen, a cold voice suddenly exploded in my ears—

You don't have to think about it to know whose voice it is......

In short, sure enough, this guy doesn't know how to be considerate at all.

Although, the sun is already overhead......

"You're hairy!? Tap it! I'm not deaf, I can hear......"

"Anyway, can you please think of a gentle way a little bit?"

“......”

Tinnitus, I always feel like I can't stop...... And yet—

"A gentle way? That is, do you expect me to treat you like a sister? ”

This person is really easy to understand, and no matter what he thinks, he will show it without reservation.

This guy's kind of place, maybe my sister will like it, but I will never be able to. - Yuna couldn't help but think so.

"It's a shame I'm not a sister, so it's impossible to treat you the way you expect."

"If you're dissatisfied, that's up to you."

and, still ruthlessly tongued......

By the way, the refusal is quite hurtful -

"I didn't say I wanted you to do that, did I? Besides, no matter how dull I am, you hate me...... This kind of thing is still known. ”

“......”

"Compared to that—give, bento."

- Faced with the pink bento box that suddenly appeared in view, Lemuel was a little confused.

"Wait...... What did you just say? ”

“......”

Yuna simply ignored his question and threw the hot bento box into his arms!

"That is, is this what you did?"

However, then he denied this as if asking himself......

Because you don't need to think much about the answer!

"How could she make a ...... specifically for me"

Then I heard the sigh that seemed to be difficult to hide the disappointment from the beginning to the end......

“......”

Faced with this fact that he was over-thinking, Yuna was naturally not even in the mood to refute.

Because even if that were the undisputed facts?

Although I and my sister do have the same preferences in many aspects, even if this is the case, it doesn't mean that I will have the same vision for choosing a man as that guy.

In other words, "I'm never going to like him!" ”

"This is what my sister did."

"Okay, okay, my sister's words have already left, don't look around. Hurry up and have breakfast! ”

Although Yuna was full of reluctant words and expressions, she had done what Leela had asked for before-

But when she said what she was going to do, Lemuel couldn't help but be frightened......

So much so that he even thought there was something wrong with his ears at one point-

"So, you're wearing bandages on your hands and feet now, isn't it? So, I'll feed you. ”

"What are you talking about?!"

"Wait, wait...... Time out! What kind of play is this?! ”

However, his doubts and the idea of refusing were ignored in an instant-

Yuna sat down in her chair as a matter of course and opened the lunch box......

Without thinking, he sandwiched a piece of braised pork that was still a little warm, and then gradually approached him.

- Looks like she's made up her mind. Once it becomes like this, it is useless to say anything to yourself......

So Lemuel could only open his mouth obediently......

"It's hot!?"

"Are you a cat's tongue? I don't know if I don't want to stuff it in my mouth so quickly? Blow it and eat it again......"

As she said this, she turned and poured a glass of water and brought it over......

In other words, if you don't care about attitude, you may also be a very good guy who can take care of people?

"What's wrong? Does this water smell bad? ”

At this moment, Lemuel finally felt that he knew something about this guy......

"No, there is no ...... Just wanted to say thank you for coming all the way here—"

Immediately afterward, Yuna did not accept it, but at the same time she did not say no.

Sure enough, this guy's incomprehensible parts are still as difficult as ever......
