Episode 43 – Each in a Ferris wheel…though?

“Must be a beautiful view from up there~”
“Y-Yes, it is.”
I’m probably the most nervous I’ve ever been in my life.
To be honest, I’ve never confessed anything to anyone before.
I’m not sure if I can go to school if this relationship falls apart.

“Haruto-kun, have you been nervous about something since this morning? At the haunted house, you told me…”
“Aah! Stop, stop! I said I’m embarrassed if you say any more!”
There’s no way I can tell her that I was so scared that Hitomi senpai was holding my hand the whole time!
“Finally, you’re back to your normal self, Haruto-kun.”
“What?”
“That’s definitely better.”
“That’s right, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. But if you are nervous, isn’t there something wrong with you? Oh, maybe it’s because Mirei is there~? She’s so beautiful…”

“No, it’s not that…”
I have to say it. If the relationship falls apart, I can handle it. I told myself that.

“I like you, Hitomi-senpai.”
“What?”
“Will you go out with me?”
There was a short pause.
“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”
“You mean…”
“Of course. Please take care of me from now on.”
When I heard these words, I cried as if the threads of tension had been broken.

“What’s wrong?!”
“I was so happy. I was afraid I might cause trouble for Hitomi-senpai.”
“No, that’s not true. So you’ve been nervous all day?”
“Yes.”
“It’s fine. I’ve had a crush on you ever since I met you. I’m glad it finally came true.”
“I also fell in love with you at first sight when I first met you, and then I started to like you more and more…”
When I was saying what I like about Hitomi-senpai…
“I-I understand///”
I found myself passing by the top one.

“Ah, we’ve passed the top of the list, haven’t we?”
“Now that you’re my boyfriend, I can’t listen to your honorifics.”
“We’ve passed the topmost one, is it okay?” (Withouth honorifics)
“It’s okay. It’s also a reason for us to come back again.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

“I hope it’ll okay.”
“It’s going to be okay.”
“It’s not even about me.”
“I mean, they’re that close.”
“Is that true?”
I was getting nervous too. I was nervous about being on the Ferris wheel with Mirei san

“Hey. When you saved me from being picked on earlier, I felt your hands trembling, but you were fine.”
“I’m fine.”
“Come on, come sit next to me.”
She patted me on the chair and I sat down next to her.

Then she suddenly hugs me.
“Really?”
“I was scared…”
“That’s right. It is scary to deal with scary people, isn’t it? I guess I should have said no earlier.”
“No, I’m your boyfriend.”

Then I felt something soft hit my mouth. It was something I had felt many times before.
