“So-kun…♥”

“……”

Hatsune seems pleased, but Yui’s appearance is a little strange. I thought she would be more discouraged, but for some reason she is smiling thinly and silently. The truth, which had been vague to Yui for some time now, was…

“Anyway, that’s why, from now on, let’s be friendsーー”

“So-chan…I know that So-chan who was mine is not the current So-chan, but if I let my emotions get the better of me here and throw 100 knives out of my pocket and inside my jacket at the same time, I will only lose So-chan…That’s why, I’m going to get the old So-chan back.”

“The old….me?”

“Yeah, the old So-chan who was scared of me, but still loved me.”

“……”

Being scared, but liking her? That’s sounds likeーー

“The So-chan who was ‘dependent’ on me.”

“…Ha?”

Was there ever a time when I was dependent on Yui… There’s no way.

“What are you talking about? I’m not dependent on anybodyーー”

“I think it started in the fourth grade of elementary school. The way you looked at me like a scared puppy was so cute~♥”

“Fourth grade…”

I remember my face twitching when I was looking at the album with the 4th grade photos…But that doesn’t make it any more believable that I was dependent on her.

“Haha, Yui, you’ve got to be kiddingーー”

“I’m not joking. I’ve heard that humans have a way to artificially erase memories, you know? And it’s easy, just by yourself, and your brain.”

“No, no…”

Even if that were true, the past is the pastーー

“I think that your path experiences have made you the person you are today, no?”

“Right, and that current So-kun chose me instead of you, so why don’t you just admit it?”

Hatsune said exactly what I was thinking but couldn’t say. However…

“I’m sorry, but I don’t care about your feelings.”

“…Eh?”

“Because So-chan is mine.”

“……”

Th, this may be useless, no matter what I say.

“Enough, let’s go? So-kun.”

“Yeah…”

Of course it was temporary, but me and Hatsune left the classroom where Yui was. …Yes, from now on, as classmates, we will see each other every day, even if I don’t like it.

“Now’s not a good time, but…”
