Chapter 105: Three people

[Moegi PoV]

Boom, a bombshell dropped suddenly. Just when we thought the culture festival had ended peacefully, something like this happened.

""...""

"Ah, About Kuro..."

"Yes, I heard it."

"Me too."

The two seemed so surprised that they froze, and, mistakenly thinking that they hadn't heard, Aoi-chan tried to say it again.

"Right... Well, I want both of you to give up on Kuro."

"Before that, Aoi-senpai, who is Kuro?"

"Kuro is Kuro. Familiarly, it's Kuro, short for Kuroda Izayoi."

"Isn't that too abrupt? And even if you tell us to give up, it's not that simple..."

"I-I don't want to fight because I like Karen and Kohaku. Fuyumi told me... Women's relationships are complicated, and they can turn into a daytime drama. I've never watched daytime dramas, but I hear they're quite intense. I want both of you to get along well. If I were to be selfish, I'd even want you to give friendship speeches at my wedding."

"That's really selfish..."

"Yeah, I know."

"If you don't want it to get complicated, Aoi, why don't you just step back?"

"I'd hate that even more..."

Huh? Isn't it mealtime? It seems like there's an awkward atmosphere here.

Aoi-chan... she's being quite assertive, isn't she? When I think about it, she's subtly placed him at the edge while positioning herself right next to him... and she's controlling the seating arrangement...

"Aah, come on, let's eat! It's getting cold!"

"Yeah, you're right... And also, Aoi-senpai, please change seats."

"I refuse."

Is this the situation we're in now... Well, as for him at the center of this whirlwind, he seemed unsure about what to do and could only provide some comforting words.

"Kuro, ahh~"

Suddenly, "ahh"?

"Well, I..."

"Even though you did that with them... you don't want to with me?"

A clear shadow fell over her face. It seemed that the Cinderella play's practice had intensified the sense of despair.

"I promise it's not like that!"

There is his nature and perhaps his own true feelings that if he sees a face of sadness, he really wants her to smile. Well, I guess it's also the fact that he can't lie.

"Okay then, ahh~"

"Uh, thanks."

He became salty all of a sudden, typical of him.

"Is it delicious?"

"I-it's really delicious..."

"I see... but don't get the wrong idea, I didn't do 'ahh' for Kuro's sake."

"Is that me!?"

Out of the blue, Aoi began imitating Karen-chan's mannerisms, leaving everyone in shock. He also seemed curious and asked her,

"Why is Aoi imitating Karen-senpai?"

"Because Kuro likes Karen. I thought that if I imitated her, maybe Kuro would start liking me too... Oh, should I call you Kuro-kun instead? It's got a bit of a Kohaku vibe..."
