466. That's it




I knew it was Cheelem!

 The salon after the sun goes down. Tonight, too, my friends were all gathered there, not at the actual window, but with the stars reflected out of the big window.

 We waited for our late comrades to get together, and when we introduced them to each other, Sakura said, "Yikes! He gave me a look like, "Oh, really?

Oh, yeah?
Yes. You see, Emily, Celeste, Alice and Eve.

 Sakura read out the names of her friends as if she were counting them.

'You're Elsa, right, Ena? Aurum and Nihonium and Vanadium Carbon and Sakuya and Yuki.
Yuki too?
I told you she wasn't my daughter.

 What's the problem? I made a face.

'No, that's right, but ...... how did you remember that in this one moment?'

 Even though I only introduced her once, Sakura was able to remember everyone's names well.
 Could it be that she is the type of person who is good at remembering people's names?

'One to twelve... it's a crazy cheerleader, seriously, it's a serious cheerleader.
I'll have to throw in Margaret and Mao and Prumbum, too.

 Ena interrupted the conversation with a mischievous smile.

'You're still here!'
'Hey, hey. Ena, they're at .......
'Oh sorry, sorry. I forgot to mention the most likeable one. Cell.
That's really not it!

 I shouted as hard as I could and plunged in.

'What, what, who's Cell?'
That's the one. ......

 Ena beckoned to Sakura and gave her an earful with a mischievous smile as she approached.
 Sakura blasted something into her, her cheeks slightly cherry-red, and her eyes sparkled the most since they met.

'What's that lovely!'
'No, no, no, I don't know what he said, but it's not.'
It's true that he loves Lyota-san. He watches over you from behind the scenes and brings in all kinds of work for Lyota-san, and he's always been the black one.
It's .......

 Ena is right there.

'Platonic BL, that's so precious: ......'
No, no, no, it's really not.
Isn't it?
No, I'm not. And Ena doesn't want to expand the conversation in any interesting way.
Yes, sir.

 Ena stuck out her tongue.
 It's a gesture that suits her personality well.
 She smiles bitterly and her anger wanes as well.

 For better or worse, Cell's is not such a snobbish story.
 It's stalkerish, but it's definitely a far cry from the swollen feeling of being in love.

'Then it's not increasingly cheerleading,'
I don't mean to do that, though.
What do you mean?

 Sakura nods her head and steps in further.

 ...... talk, right?

 Being a young girl in my former world, and being called 'uncle', I felt a mental barrier and drew the line, but if you're going to ask me like that, I have to answer, or so I thought.

I just can't overlook being unreasonable.

 I looked beyond the cherry blossoms.
 It was a wall, but I felt as if I was looking at the people on the other side of the wall, somewhere in the distance, forced by a black company to be unreasonable.

I want to do something about the people who are trapped in these black companies. I can't overlook the people who are oppressed by unreasonableness and unfairness. Now I have some power, the power to do something about it. So I've done something about it from the side where I saw it - that's all.

 As a result, people came together and became friends.
 That's all there is to it.

So it's not like we're cheerleaders or anything.

 Do you understand? I looked at Sakura again like.

......

 For some reason, she was blown away.

 She stared at me in a daze, her cheeks slightly elevated.

Mmm, did I just make you delusional about ...... something?
What: ...... No, not really.

 Sakura quickly turned away and flattened her cheek between her hands.
 What in the world is going on ...... mmmm!

What?
It's nothing. Hey.

 Ena grinned, and Elsa by her side, with a complicated smile on her face.
 Many of her friends, too, had a look on their faces like, "Haha, dear.

 ...... Why?
