The two of them were silent in the dark and quiet environment. After Hori Mina said these words, she thought she would at least express her feelings, but now she realizes that the atmosphere has become a lot more awkward.
And Nishino Kazuki didn't know how to express it for a while. The girl in front of him was a bit humble, which even made him feel unbearable. She didn't look like a girl idol showing off herself on a stage with tens of thousands of people. She was just a self-harming and self-pitying girl.
Just a girl.
The surroundings were so quiet that Hori Mina seemed to be able to hear a buzzing sound in her head. Her entire brain seemed to be affected by the intangible atmosphere and she gave up thinking.
Sure enough, it's still like this, I'm really useless... Hori Mina lowered her head and leaned between her knees. She didn't know what to think. Maybe Kazuki-senpai was about to leave.
.
The human heart can only tolerate a certain degree of despair. The sponge has absorbed enough sleep. Even if the sea flows over it, it cannot add another drop of water to it.
"Weina, listen to me." Nishino Kazuki suddenly called her name. This was the first time. Horina's body trembled slightly and she raised her head. Although she couldn't see Nishino Kazuki's face, she
Or turn your face as much as possible and face his direction.
"Don't think too much of yourself. You are an excellent girl, so there is no need to belittle yourself." Nishino Kazuki said.
"Then the next sentence is [Can you find a better one]?" Houli suddenly interjected, and she didn't know why she said it.
Nishino Kazuki thinks that he is not a good man, but he cannot say such words here.
"No, please listen carefully."
As soon as Hori Mina opened her mouth, the atmosphere that had just been brewing was slightly different. It was not so serious. She seemed to be born with a bit of liveliness.
"Oh." Horimina sniffed. She was ready to say some words like "You are a good person", "You are young and think more" and "You can find a better one" from Nishino Kazuki, so she simply put it out there.
He looked like he was listening, but he didn't know if his tears would flow again after hearing this.
"You also know my own feelings now. You are still young and may not have experienced much, so..."
"I'm one year older than Ikuta-senpai."
"...It's not determined by age alone."
"I know that one relationship cannot understand another relationship, but I think I have no less feelings for my senior than she does." Horimina became more determined, and when he saw Nishino Kazuki's excuse, it was completely untenable.
However, in front of Nishino Kazuki, she was able to refute in this tone for the first time.
"Hasn't Senior Kazuki been attracted to me? Even once." Houli changed her position from leaning on the bed to more like sitting upright on the bed facing Nishino Kazuki.
"have."
Nishino Kazuki answered simply.
Because there is, Nishino Kazuki cannot respond simply, so he is cautious.
Hori Mina felt that every cell in her body seemed to be holding her breath and hugging tightly. The originally fierce tone was completely broken by his words.
Any desire to argue seemed to be extinguished in an instant.
"..."
"..."
The shadows dominating the room became thicker and thicker, but Hori Mina could imagine Nishino Kazuki's expression at this moment in her mind.
He must be serious and cautious again, just like when he taught me a lesson.
She then thought about it, and Nishino Kazuki responded to her thoughts, but his answer was completely different from his tone.
"Then - at what time, can you... tell me?"
Houli's problems can always defeat Nishino Kazuki at critical moments. It can only be said that this is her innate talent.
"Probably...well~ maybe when you were on the street?"
"When did I commit suicide?"
"No, then maybe the target is not you."
"Kazuki-senpai!" Horimion finally managed to elicit Nishino Kazuki's words. How could he let it end at this moment? Besides, this might be his only comfort, "I want to know..."
Her tone was leisurely, with some soft pleading.
"Well, I can't tell you what, anyway, it's okay if you know it." Nishino Kazuki always felt that his topic was taken astray, and it was obviously not the atmosphere.
"...then what do you mean, senior?"
Hori Mina is not ready to give up either.
"You haven't been in contact with too many boys, so you have such feelings." Nishino Kazuki knows that the more emotionally delicate a girl is, the easier it is to be touched by the details in life and fall into love.
"No! Quite a few! I have to interact with thousands of people every day during handshake meetings."
"..." Nishino Kazuki paused for a moment, "No...those are not..."
"Isn't he a man? Kazuki-senpai has gone too far." Horimina looked away anyway, knowing that the lament she thought would have no good results, and today she must make Kazuki-senpai speechless.
"Talk!" Nishino Kazuki finally escaped from that embarrassing situation. The two returned to their original mode of getting along, but they still had other thoughts in their hearts.
"Oh..." Horimina pursed her lips, and then said, "Do you have anything else to say, Kazuki-senpai?"
Just when Nishino Kazuki was about to speak, his cell phone ringtone rang unexpectedly. Hori Mina couldn't help but feel sour when she heard the familiar ringtone.
This song is Nanase-senpai's TER single "Unrequited Love When You Realize It".
"Sorry." Nishino Kazuki stood up and just turned around. Unexpectedly, there was a noise behind him, and then a pair of arms wrapped around his neck.
"Don't go..."
Nishino Kazuki could feel her head buried in his back, her hair caressing her neck, with the fresh scent of shampoo.
Kazuki Nishino instinctively bent down so that Horina's feet could be straightened to reach the tatami.
When Horimina stood on the tatami, she finally let go of Nishino Kazuki, but suddenly she hugged his body and pressed her cheek against his back.
"do not go......"
Hori Mina only felt that if Nishino Kazuki left this place, all his efforts would be in vain.
Nishino Kazuki reached out and held her palm, then turned around and kissed her before he could say a word.
This was no longer like the clumsy and shy kiss under the dim streetlight, but instead it was a heated breath.
Nishino Kazuki thought about the past scenes in his mind, and layers of thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally they were transformed into this kiss.
After a long time.
The phone had lost its sound for a long time, and Hori Mina stood in front of him, her expression suddenly firm.
"I know tragedies are all bitter, but Senior Heshu, I hope you can remember that when I kiss you now, it's sweet."
