Minutes later

"You're staring at the clock for a long time..."

"I'm aware."

"Is there a reason, Arisu?"

"Not really, no."

"I see..."

I'm confused.

"Kiyotaka, since time is relative, why don't we move from earth and spend time somewhere where our lives will be stretched."

"Hm?"

"Human lives are too short for my liking."

"I see..."

"Don't you think the same?"

"I don't mind the human lifespan, so no."

"Are you not afraid of death?"

"Not really."

I'm not scared of anything, let alone death.

"That's unusual indeed."

"Is that so?"

"Mm. Many would want to stretch their lifespan, but I guess you are a remarkable person."

"Remarkable, huh? What about you?"

"Me? Fufu, I don't mind dying too. It's just that our time together will be limited to this short lifespan."

"Oh?"

That is peculiar.

"Aside from that, it's time."

Time?

"For what?"

"It's time for our mini party, my dear love."

"Huh...?"

The doorbell sounds.

Right as she makes that statement.

"I wonder who it may be. Why don't you open the door?" she asks.

"I feel like I'm part of a scheme..."

"Just open the door, beloved one."

"Kiyotaka is fine, if you were not aware."

"I am aware, my sweet Darling."

The doorbell sounds again.

I guess I'd better hurry.

"Yes-"

"You made me wait, have you no manners?"

"Hm?"

It was Arisu's classmate, Masami Kamuro.

"What is that?"

I stare at the white box she held.

"Don't change the topic. It's common decency to apologize when making a mistake. Tsk, why did she date someone like you?"

"Are you fine with allowing Arisu to order you around like this?"

"Huh!?"

"You've practically become her slave, or maybe even something worse."

"Now you insult me?"

"My bad."

"That's how you respond?"

"I'm sorry."

"It didn't seem genuine to me."

"It's genuine. The fact that I said it is enough proof."
