“It was a very exciting day.”

“I still have music in my ears.”

“I received a lot from Queen Amin.” money for music I don’t think I have any plans to use the wonderful new house and title I received.

“More than that, it’s a slime pillow.” As I was walking around thinking about such things while giving an appropriate response to the conversation with Kumakichi, I suddenly saw Luka’s workshop.

“It was fun, Luca.”

“…”

“For some reason, Luca was empty.”

I look into your face.

“Luka?”

“Uh, yeah. I’m listening. Um.”

“I’ve never heard of him.”

“I’m here”

When I let go of the hand I was holding and pointed at it, she looked a little surprised.

Just as Ex was thinking, so was Luka. Let’s shift our focus to Luke.

“I’m confused.”

“Have you arrived yet?”

“Um. Ex, thank you.”

“I’m the one who should thank you?”

“I was finally able to say thank you.”

“Actually, I’m a little impatient.”

“It seems that EX is surprisingly popular.”

“Even though I only have Ex.”

“I have to somehow connect the conversation.”

“It was fun”

“Yeah. I feel the same as Luka. Thank you for inviting me.”

My face heats up at the boy’s smiling smile. I looked down involuntarily.

“I’m too embarrassed to look.”

“Since we’ve been together for the past few days, I think it’s unnecessary.”

“I don’t want to leave.”

“As expected, I’ve decided.”

“I’m telling you!”

“Ah…”

I squeezed out a fading voice.

“Actually, it might have disappeared.”

Such a voice.

“The sound of my heart beating loudly is annoying.”

“On the way home, I was thinking.”

“I wish time would stop like this.”

“I wonder how much time has passed.” I think it’s a bit short of actual time.

But I needed time to make up my mind in a world where there was only the sound of my beating heart.

take a breath.

“Fene, goddess of love, please give me courage.” I’m sure it’s useless at this timing.

“Translate your thoughts into words.”

“I like Ex. I love him. I don’t want to give him to anyone. So, as long as you like Ex, please go out with me.”

“I could say that!”

I mustered up the courage to speak out.

“I bet everything.” A sweet and painful time with mixed expectations and fears comes.

The roulette that put me all in began to spin violently, and despair and hope changed at a dizzying pace.

“Do you feel the same way?”

I kept my head down and waited patiently for the boyish young man’s answer.

“Stay still.”

“Stay still.”

…….

“Did you hear me properly?”

“But the answer never came.” Was it heavy?

The sweetness gradually turned into despair, and the once bright world was robbed of its colors.

Hey. Is it your kindness to clearly refuse?

“I feel like crying.”

“Ex, did I bother you? I’m sorry.”

With a tearful smile, I looked up and saw no one there.

! ?

“Why?”

“…Lord. My buddy ran home a long time ago.”

“Huh!?”

Crazy Bear gently stroked my head.

“Shake and tremble.”

“Baka of EX”

Anger.

and relieved.

“Shame on me for being late.”

“Forget about it now. Crazy Bear.”

“Hey hey. But where did your buddy go in such a hurry?”

“I don’t know”

“I came home to a quiet, empty house.”

“The mother rabbits will return late in the carriage, so we’ll be alone with Crazy Bear in this spacious house.”

“Buddy, do you know where you stand when you’re being chased?”

“You should reflect a little.”

“Just get caught.” I thought so. That way I can help you and you will be thanked.

…I’ve become a bad boy…
