Chapter 3 (2/2)

Wondering what it was, I approached and looked down

There was a notebook in the bushes’ shade

“… Hey Could it be the thing that Kisshi+ was searching for?”

I picked it up and turned it over There wasn't a na on it

Kisshi+ usually patrolled around here saying it’sthe public order It wouldn’t be weird if she dropped it here inadvertently

Of course, I mustn't look into it, so I was about to try to hold it with ainst my chest and deliver it to Kisshi+

But, unfortunately, as I was still holding rip

Whoops, then the ust of wind blew and the notebook opened

After turning who knoof words appeared before my eyes

I thought it was a diary, but I rong There were consecutive short sentences

It started with the title ー 『Twinkling Star in the Night Sky』

『Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle twinkle, Star in the dark sky

It’s such a lonely night But because you are here, I’m not afraid

But still, I’m sad No matter how much I try to extend my arm,

No matter how much I leap and leap, I can never reach you

I wished upon a shooting star, yet ranted

You are so mean and nasty, Star

I think it’s really unfair to only have the Moon by your side

Just like the person I like

No matter how much I think about him, there is always someone else by his side

It’s unfair, awful, and sad

My chest tightens and it aches

This prayer is for you I’rant it this time

Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle twinkle, please, hear me

I want to become your Moon

Star, I love yooou☆』

“……”

……

“……”

……

“… I saw so incredible…”

I didn’t see it No, I shouldn’t have seen it It was so that shouldn’t be seen

I softly closed the cover Let’s forget it Let’s delete everything from my memory

It was totally beyond any expectation I thought shelike this It shouldn’t have been so like this

No, wait Think a little It’s not decided that this notebook is hers

Yeah Perhaps it’s soap… No, it’s not on the level of a gap So more than that ー Yeah, it’s a ravine

“For now, I should take care of it…”

No matter whose it is, I don’t knoill happen if someone else saw it

After ive it to Sensei

I picked up the notebook and stood up

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Then, I heard a terrific screaoose bumps on my back

At the sensation I experienced for the first time in my life, I immediately turned and leapt back

“Eek!?”

I unintentionally shrieked A sas piercing the place I was just a o

Beforeat me

She had teary eyes, and her gaze was clearly loaded with killing intent

“… You saw it…”

Said Kisshi+ with a deep and subdued voice

“W-what could you possibly be talking about…?”

In front of such intensity, I unconsciously spoke really politely

“Do not feign ignorance… You saw the contents of this notebook, right!?”

Kisshi+ nimbly raised and posture, then she thrust her sword

“I-I-I-I didn’t see anything! Not even a little at all!”

“Lies! You just opened it right up, didn't you!? Y-you, you bastardー!”

“It’s aI tell you! I never saw so like ‘twinkle Star’ or possibly, err, ‘I want to become the Moon’!”

“Yooooou baaaaaastaaaaard!”

“Uwaaaaaaaa, I saw iiiiiiit, I’m soooorryyy!”

I frantically escaped fro her sword at me So it was Kisshi+’s notebook after all

“It was an accident! It was the wind’s fault! It wasn’t on purpose!”

“Such a thing no longer matters! Because you saw it I need to erase you! I have no choice but to do it! I must erase you!”

“No no no! You don’t need to be so e!”

I reassured Kisshi+ as I was sitting on the ground, cornered against the wall

“… Really…?”

“Y-y-yeah, of course Well, I was surprised that Kisshi+ had such good tastes Ha, hahahaha … Though, well, the ‘My chest tightens” part was a little…”

“Gyaaaaaaaaaa!”

I just barely dodged the sword swinging at me

“Not bad, Mamoru… As you would expect from the class president It’s time for me to be serious”

“No, call president isn’t a title given to souy who always got a 2 in PE! So seriously, forgive me!”

“No, I won’t I cannot let you live after seeing this…!”

“W-why!? True, it was unexpected, but it’s fine, I think it’s fine for everyone to have their own hobby…”

“…! It isn’t I aht family There were people fro If they knew that I did such a fes…!”

Kisshi+ clenched her teeth as her hands trembled

“I tried to stoplike this It’s sha However, I was not able to stop I could not stop”

Before long, Kisshi+ lost her strength and lowered her sword She fell to her knee, then she began to speak as if la

“I-I… On the surface, I behave knightly and with dignity, but in truth, since I was a child, I was only interested and attracted to things woe my hair style, put e would not permit it It would never be approved of Therefore…”

The sword fell and e with her hands

“I thought it would be fine if it was only cos and if I hid it… Uhh, now it’s the end…”

Seeing Kisshi+ really flustered, I scratched my head Well, the usual her would never want to be found out I understand her feelings Butー

“… Isn’t it fine, Kisshi+?”

“What is…?”

“Well, if you want me to be honest, I was surprised But your way of life as a knight, and your way of life as Kisshi+ are different things”

It’s fine to keep them separate, and I think they should be

“Everyone has one or two hidden hobbies or things they like Evenhero stories aimed at children”

“Is… Is that true?”

I nodded I’m always on standby before the TV every Sunday at half seven in the

“Isn’t it the same for the others in Itoku? Anyway, it’s not like I have so to say about this, and I don’t plan to talk to anyone about it, so relax”

“… Is that the truth?”

I sap between her fingers

“Even if I talk about it, there’s no profit Besides, a class representative is someone who protects his classmates, not someone who looks down on them I promise Here”

Kisshi+ looked blankly at er

“It’s so Use the saer and entwine mine”

Kisshi+ was still confused, but she did as I told her Then I said

“Pinky promise, if I lie, I’ll s a thousand needles”

“What an extreme punishment!?”

Kisshi+ shuddered

“To s a thousand needles for lying, this world is considerably strict This is an act equal to the torture given in the witch hunt in the past…”

“No, it’s just a figure of speech”

“What? In that case, won’t your words the you are not lying, what, is this a riddle? I won’t forgive you forme!”

“Ah, jeez, you’re always like this! Can’t you just siree once in a while!?”

This part of her, it’s really Kisshi+

“Mmh… Understood This is a promise I believe you Do not break it”

I answered “Yeah, never,” as Kisshi+ asked me many times

“By the way, are there other songs like this one?”

“Huh? N-no, well, yes, but…”

“Is that so? Then if you’re fine with it, won’t you show them to me?”

“What!? A-are you serious!?”

“Yeah This unexpected side of you, or how should I put it? Anyway, it piqued my curiosity a little”

For a while, Kisshi+ looked away as she held her notebook that I gave back

But before long, she looked at

“You… You won’t laugh?”

“It’s alright, don’t worry I won’t do so like that”

“R-really? Then… U you a few of my masterpieces”

She coughed once Then Kisshi+ began to turn the pages of her notebook

Her expression was serious, but her lips loosened, and she seemed happy

I’m sure it must have been painful to hide it until now

“Alright This one Look at this one!”

She passed me the notebook, then withcomposed by Kisshi+

“… H-how is it? What do you think about it? Isn’t it quite good? I put the feelings I held when I saers in full bloom near a lake into for both sweetness as well as a little loneliness”

“…… Pff”

“As a result of choosing words very carefully, this one is probably the best or second best ahed!”

“I-I’ Pff”

“No ! Y-y-you bastard, even though I showed you because you told me to!”

“But, you know, the passage 『Good ood』, and the expression 『The Flowers are in low spirits』 are just… Pff!”

“Mamoru, you bastard!”

“Eek! I’m sorry!”

I escaped froain

“Unforgivable, I will punish you!”

I looked back at Kisshi+ as chasing after me

She was angrily shouting at me, but her expression looked somewhat refreshed

… I need to practice how to not laugh

The thought suddenly appeared in my mind as I dashed at full speed
