“Good job~, Luna.”
“Nikoru too, good job on your
part-time job~!”
“Playing Savage was really fun!”
“Right, right~! Nikoru has too
many talents!”
“Tell your boyfriend that we
want to do it again sometime.”
“Ah, I already told Ryuuto, you
know! But it's really so funny, even though we just did it today.”
“That's right~! But it feels
refreshing. It feels like all my stress is gone.”
“But Nikoru, are you okay?”
“Hmm? About what?”
“Telling others about Senpai.”
“Well, it doesn't matter. I
didn't want to hide it anyway. Unlike you and Akari, even though I'm single,
it's rare that a guy approaches me.”
“But Nikoru, you refused
immediately and without mercy.”
“I don't know. Boys aren't good
at judging girls. Akari and the others are even crueler.”
“Ahaha.”
“Actually, I'm just an innocent
girl with a broken heart.”
“But it was really amazing, you
know, Nikoru. Has it been three years? Three and a half years? I didn't know
that you still think about your ex-boyfriend.”
“That's not really normal, is
it? But what can I do, since I like Senpai so much...”
“Nikoru...”
“...Ah, doesn't [Affection to the point of intoxication]
sound like a rhyme? No, it really does sound like a rhyme, doesn't it?”
“Lol~ when I'm being serious,
please don't make me laugh, Nikoru-sensei.”
Luna stood up from the bed
while laughing and reached for the table. Then she picked up a pencil box with
some photo boxes on it.
Among the photos, one of
them... was a photo box of Nikoru with her first boyfriend in the second year
of middle school, and Luna smiled softly as she looked at it.
