Thinking back on it, it was a very strange coincidence.
âItâs funny how sometimes you meet someone just as theyâre about to put a love letter in there.â
The location is behind the school building. Kururi Kurumizawa was standing uncomfortably next to her.
Shiho Shimotsuki spoke to her in a friendly manner.
âMaybe it was meant to be? I donât mind the word âfateâ. Itâs romantic, itâs kind of, you know, ⌠nice.â
Before, Shiho was too shy to talk much with others.
But now Shiho has become a different person and talks a lot more.
Just as Kotaro Nakayama matured after meeting Shiho, she is also growing day by day.
She is now able to talk so much with strangers.
However, Shiho was not sure if it was the right thing to do or not.
âYouâve been quiet for a while now, but I wonder if Iâve chosen the wrong topic. Maybe I should have chosen a more serious topic instead of a light-hearted one?â
Shiho tilted her head as Kururi Kurumizawa remained too silent. She felt that her words didnât fit the occasion.
âYou see, you and I are sort of love rivals, and if we were âŚ, we should be more adamant about it, shouldnât we? Oh, that reminds me, Iâm angry with you too!â
Then, as if she remembered, she raised her fist and began to show off that she was âangryâ.
âOh, my, you canât do that. You canât hurt my sweet Kotaro-kun, okay? Itâs so terrible to make him suffer so much that he cries, no matter how cute he is. Hehehe, I was just kidding~. Itâs a lie that Iâm angry. So itâs okay to laugh, okay? Here ⌠is a good place to laugh if you want to.â
For being angry, though, her attitude is too playful.
Normally, one would laugh at such behavior, which could be described as typical of the clumsy Shiho Shimotsuki.
However, Kururi Kurumizawa did not even twitch.
ââŚThere is no way you can laugh at that.â
Her red eyes shook slightly.
The expression on her face was one of âfearâ.
âBecause your eyes arenât smiling.â
Shiho laughed again at those words.
But Kururi Kurumizawa was right, the back of her eyes were as cold as ice.
âUfufu. Well, well, ⌠itâs not a âlaughing matterâ either.â
The black eyes emitted a ceramic-cold light.
And then she removed all color from her expression.
âIf I hadnât found your cowardly behavior ⌠and hadnât encountered the moment you offered the love letter, Iâm sure he would have been hurt again. And this is the second time youâve done it, remember? You broke my pretty little twig once, remember? I wonât let you get away with it a second time.â
Shiho was more talkative than usual.
It was not only because she had developed and overcome her shyness, of course.
The reason why Shiho Shimotsuki is more talkative than usual.
It was because she was âangryâ.
âIf there is a God who decides my fate, Iâm really glad that I was able to prevent this incident ⌠from your selfish act.â
The god of romantic comedies, who always does nothing but go the extra mile,⌠however, it seems that he canât play tricks on the main heroine.
She is the most unreasonable, intense, and overwhelming presence of the âmain heroine-samaâ in this story.
If anything, she has a more distinct âindividualityâ than Ryoma Ryuzaki, the protagonist.
In other words, this chance encounter is not fate.
It is the result of the god of romantic comedies who favored her personally, in other words, it is âopportunismâ.
âFinally, I can talk to you like this.â
Finally, she was able to track down the thieving cat who had been sneaking around in the shadows and messing with her beloved main character.
âItâs time to settle this, isnât it? Let me hear your feelings.â
A clear voice sounded as if it were singing.
However, the sound was very distorted.
(Itâs a terrible sound.)
Shiho canât help but laugh at her own voice.
ďźI canât let him hear this sound.)
A side of herself that she usually hides, but if she could, she would have kept it hidden forever.
But thatâs not possible.
(To protect you, ⌠Iâm willing to get messyâŚ)
She doesnât care about herself.
She is always living for only one person.
She always has, she always is, and then, of course, she always will.
Shiho is determined to love him for ever and everâŚ
