The morning after holding Akari in my arms.
I first reached out to Ichika. To let her know the stalker case was closed.
And that I’d slept with Akari to ease her anxiety.
…Honestly, there are plenty of moments where I ask myself what the hell I’m doing.
I was supposed to move forward, together with Ichika. That was my decision. And yet, in the end, I couldn’t escape this tepid, sweet paradise.
I wanted Ichika—and all of me—to step into the light.
But all that came back from Ichika was the phrase “Good work.”
…What is she thinking?
After changing, I decided to go check on how Ichika was doing.
She should be with Takayama-san.
The situation with Kiso and the others had caused quite a few headaches for Headmaster Hirataka.
I needed to express my gratitude and apologize for that, so this was perfect timing. “Karin?”
Akari, stark naked, looked up at me with sleepy eyes and said, “Head out somewhere?”
…Her blue eyes seemed to see right through everything.
She seemed to ask as if she fully understood where I was heading. “I’m going over to Ichika’s place.”
“Mm… oh, okay. Got it. Take care~”
…Ichika, Akari. Both of them are seeking me out.
They love me. But I can’t choose between either of their loves. …I’m useless. Truly useless. “Akarin. Thank you.” Akari laughed with a soft giggle.
“I feel a lot better now. Thanks. Love you♡”
…How much does this girl actually know, and how far does she see, when she says things like that to me?
“You’re welcome. Well, I’m off then.” “Wheee” 【★Important Notice】
