25 – What should I call this heart?

It happened when I was in elementary school.

During gym class, I collapsed vigorously and my knees were all scaly. It stings and bleeds through the pants. It’s a bit embarrassing, but I cried.

In the meantime, a classmate approached me.

I asked why, and took out a band from my pocket. Then he took me to the infirmary. The teacher did it until disinfection, but the band was attached by the friend.

Since then, I have been approaching the child.

I was at an age when I had no way of knowing what I liked or what love meant. It was just that looking at him made him feel better, and he kept talking to him, or he just became mean.

I harbored a profound feeling for that child that no one else could feel.

Is it okay to give meaning to such feelings?

At least I think it’s okay.

Yes.

At that time, maybe for the first time.

I think I fell in love.

“What should I call this heart?”

Ina asked without even controlling her rough breathing. Her fragile body, which seemed to be about to collapse at any moment, was trembling with tension.

I see.

Ina had already noticed.

Since she said that she would meet in the club room anyway, and that she had something to say, she might have noticed it a little bit.

And finally, Ina threw the ball at me.

As usual. Like when you ask a weird question.

Then what answer should I give?

Today I decided to openly tell Inna my heart. But just as I was listening to the story, I realized. As expected, she was mistaken about me.

I’m not a great person, nor am I cool. He was not the kind of person who would speak his mind outright.

If Ina had come to me expecting something like that, she would be greatly disappointed someday.

That fact was clear.

So before I answer, I have to say this.

She got up and stood in front of Ina.

With the sound of rain streaming through the window as the background sound, I started talking.

“I don’t think I am the person you think I am.”

“Huh?”

“You said that? After reading my article, he said he felt that this person knows how to speak his mind clearly.”

“Yes. It did.”

“But I am not that kind of person.”

I know better than anyone else.

If that was the case, I would have been able to get her heart out to Ina earlier. Since I couldn’t do that, I kept adding excuses and looking for reasons not to confess.

However, Naina shook her head.

“Yes. Know.”

“…… You know?”

“Of course not. Did you think you wouldn’t know?”

“I thought you wouldn’t know.”

Ina laughed.

“There are times when I can’t say things clearly, even if I have thoughts, so it’s more like teasing.”

“Is that a compliment? Or curse? Are you kidding me or not?”

“Ahahahaha. I think you should listen to whatever you want to hear.”

In this situation, she throws a silly joke. But she also felt light on her shoulders. The atmosphere between us was just that good.

Inaga, who is always mischievous even when talking about something serious, I…….

After clearing his throat, he spoke.

“And I have nothing to brag about. Like you, I’m good at studying, or my looks, well, I’m not special.”

She tells her honest feelings.

“So, what. I can’t say that I will be able to become the right person for you any time soon.”

It may sound rude, but this is also my honest opinion.

“Even so.”

And more than anything else, the most important heart.

“With me—.”

“Um~ By the way.”

“—Huh?”

Ina cut off my words. It was just an important moment.

“We made a bet, right?”

“Uh, yes. Yes.”

That was the first story I brought up. So, didn’t you even answer the question earlier?

Ina tilts her head.

“Should that be considered the correct answer?”

“Uh… ….”

I am dumbfounded to bring up such an outrageous story at this timing.

But, well, if you think about it, in the end, I was able to find the reason for Inna to approach me. However, I couldn’t figure out how the trigger was connected.

There are plenty of corners to look at with both correct and incorrect answers.

“I don’t know.”

“Isn’t it? I’ve been thinking about it too, but I’m not sure.”

“Yes. Is that so?”

… ….

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Oh, so that’s what I mean. I wondered what it would be like to grant each other’s wishes one by one.”

“Are each other’s wishes one by one?”

“Yes. Then I wondered if both would be equal. How is it? Is it unanimous as long as you like it?”

That’s natural since it’s just the two of us.

Well, this was a no-lose bet for me from the start. As long as Inani is selfish anyway, one wish is not a problem.

“Well, then do it.”

“Good!”

Ina showed a bright smile.

Well, now back to the original story…….

“Then it’s quick, but I’m going to say my wish now.”

This time, Ina stole the timing for me to speak.

I am saying this after making a big decision for myself. I’m losing my pulse because I keep doing this. No, at this point, I might be a fool for trying to be serious in front of Ina.

“What is it?”

“I have a question.”

I want to ask another strange question.

“What else are you curious about this time?”

“That’s what I mean.”

Ina was smiling.

“A first kiss tastes like lemon, is it true?”

Before you even react to those words.

Ina lifted her heel and brought her face closer to me.

He gently brought his lips to my frozen mouth.

Ina’s scent.

Ina’s face up close.

And above all, the soft feel of your lips.

It felt like all my sensory organs were on edge.

I took her face off and took a few steps away, and then scratched her cheek with her fingers while hehehehe. Her cheeks were clearly red.

“Whoops.”

She smiled as if she wanted to hear me, then smiled at me and then she said casually.

“Thank you for the birthday present.”

With the usual mischievous face. But with a bit of shame.

And with a smile that seemed to give me courage.

Until the end, I’m just being defeated by Ina.

While thinking that, I tightened my neck.

“Over there.”

Aiming at Ina who blinked her big eyes.

She conveyed her heart.

“Will you go out with me?”
