I'm the Heroine, but I Want to Hand That Role Over

The year begins and the third semester begins.

It's time to get ready for the exam.

I also need to work harder than last year.

When I went to the shoebox with that in mind, I met Batali and Lotus.

I haven't seen Lotus in a long time. My breasts squeal.

I do my best to get through the beating and greet Lotus in the guise of serenity.

"Happy New Year. Best regards again this year"

"Ah. Happy dawn. Say hello again this year."

I'm sure it's the maiden filter that makes Lotus Look so cute.

I'm sure it is.

Nevertheless, I'm lucky to see Lotus first thing in the morning.

I ran out of luck here this year.

No, no way. Is that possible?

When I entered the classroom talking to Lotus View, I felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't know, why do you feel uncomfortable?

I sat in my seat tilting my neck and something was in my desk that was supposed to be empty.

White, paper?

No, you're not. This is a picture.

When I took it in my hand, it had a message that I cut through the letters in the newspaper and made.

Just one word. 'Don't get on with it'.

Wow... what a betta.

But don't get on with it. What is it?

When I flipped the picture, it was me and Kite there.

It was a picture of me and Kate looking like they were kissing.

What is this?

I admit I'm taking good shots, but when's this picture?

Could it be when the three of us went shopping?

When the vegetables left something at the store. Only then or so was I alone with Kite.

So this must be a picture of that time.

You must have taken it with a good angle when there was garbage in my eyes.

Is this how you feel?

Still, what are the odds you happen to take a private picture.

I wonder if I can take these photos by chance.

Could be.

Were you followed?

The moment I came to that thought, the chills ran.

Shit, I'm frightened.

But why? Why, this...

Anyway, keep this in your bag and we'll think about it later.

I have a student council job ahead of me.

Not if you're distracted by this.

I shook my head gently to change my mind.

I met Misaki-san after school that day.

The place is a coffee shop near the school.

It's a hidden shop, and the chiffon cake here is fantastic.

Fluffy touch and moist sweet fabric.

The raw cream ridden abundantly on top of the chiffon cake, where the flavor of butter is utilized, is not too sweet and is well thought out to not compromise the taste of the chiffon cake.

I am a fan of chiffon cake here.

I appreciate you accepting the take-out as well.

While enjoying such a chiffon cake, I turn to Misaki-san.

I called Misaki-san today to fulfill my promise to Misaki-san.

"I'll be the first to report it if I can do what I want."

This is Misaki-san's promise and mine.

I'm going to report that today.

I've had a little time since I realized it until today because it took me a while to sort out my mind and I wasn't quite up to date with Misaki.

So I have no choice.

I'm not telling anyone, but I'll make an excuse in my heart.

"Again. Happy dawn. Nice to see you again this year, huh?

"Happy dawn. Thanks again this year!

"Hehe. Long time no see, Rinhua. Could the winter break have been meaningful?

"Well, quite..."

"Well, it is."

Misaki-san smiles and gracefully transports chiffon cake to her mouth.

I twitch and eat chiffon cake.

I don't really understand the taste.

No body... but you can't help it... yeah.

"So? Is there something you want to tell me?

Misaki-san has cut in.

I put the fork I had in my hand and correct my posture.

And after taking a big, deep breath, I stare at Misaki-san's face from the front.

Oh, no. What should I do?

I'm not confessing, but I'm getting frustrated and nervous.

My hand sweats......!

Yeah! Get ready!

I have to tell you here, she's not a woman!

"... remember? Promise me."

"Promise?"

"Yes, I told Misaki. I'll tell Misaki first if anyone I like can do it."

"Yeah, I remember you."

"Today, I want to report to Misaki."

I breathed softly and said.

"Me, me... I think I like Lotus...!

I said...! I'm out of words, me!

That's great, me!

I praise myself! Because nobody praises me!

"... well. Yes. Really... hehe, give me some blessing..."

Misaki-san laughs with pleasure.

Is that it? How did this react?

Me, how do I react?

"Misaki?"

"Hehe...... sorry. Happy."

"Misaki..."

"- Thanks, for letting me know. I'm so glad."

Misaki-san giggles.

"Yasuyuha, you're my proud childhood friend. I'm glad you like my pride in childhood."

"Misaki..."

"Yasuyu would take care of Rinhua. Something sweet."

"... I know."

I know. Lotus sight is sweet.

I know strong lotus sight and weak lotus sight.

Such a lotus look, I like it.

"... you're so, so beautiful, Rinhua"

"Huh? Yeah, I guess...?

"Yep. Hey, Rinhua. Do you tell Yoshiyu how you feel about that?

"………… no"

"Why not? Because Yasuyu also..."

"That's why I'm not telling you. We're about to take the exam. I don't think it's when you're out of love."

"But"

"I know you're doing terrible things. But I'm not sure yet. Is this feeling something that goes on all the time or isn't it? Even for Lotus Michi, yes. What if my feelings for me were temporary? It's a temporary emotion, and I don't want you to do anything unintentional about your life."

Misaki-san rocks her eyes.

And I say potpourri.

"If you play well, you'll do well."

"It could be. But I can't. I'm not that clever. I can't do two things at the same time. That's why I want to stay."

"Rinhua..."

Everything I just said is what I really think.

But that's not the real reason.

This is still the world of Sekakoi.

I want to see what this secacoi world will end up with and then move on with my own love.

That's what I thought.

"If I could think of Lotus Seeing all the way until I graduated, I would tell Lotus Seeing properly. I want to communicate my feelings properly, whether Lotus is changing her mind or thinking about it now."

"... you've already made up your mind?

"Yes."

"Yes. Then I won't say anything. I support Rinhua's decided path."

"... thank you for listening to my self"

I sincerely thank Misaki-san.

Misaki smiled very beautifully and said, "You're welcome".
