「...Nei-san」
I just throw the words that pop in my head to Nei-san.
「I think there's nobody in the world who must not become happy...!」
...Err
「Nei-san...you decide by yourself that『you can not become happy』...but that's not true in reality...because」
Eei...just say it!
「I'll surely make Nei-san happy...! I'm an idiot so I don't know how to make Nei-san happy right now but...but, I'll think about it desperately! I'll test out everything! I'll devote myself for it!」
「...Yo-chan?!」
「Of course...I think it'll take a lot of time. Therefore...giver me some time. For the time being...ten years. No, twenty years...if I can't do it in twenty years then make it my lifetime. I'll make you happy even if it takes a lifetime...that's why!」
Nei-san's tears shine in the dim room.
She's looking at me.
「...Fufu, Yoshida-kun, is that a proposal?」
Margo-san said with a wry smile.
「It's not! It's not something that not-serious!!」
I...!
「My my...proposals are serious you know!」
Margo-san said.
「Well...that's true but that's not it! It's not that I want to marry Nei-san or even make her my lover! I just want to make her happy! I don't mind even if Nei-san marries a man other than me. But, I just want Nei-san to be smiling and be happy...!」
My head is in a mess.
After listening to Nei-san's very sad story...
「I...I don't understand happiness. How do you make people happy? What can I do to make people happy? I don't know. I...What should I do?」
Nei-san holds my hand.
「...Thank you, Yo-chan. Those words are enough for me!」
Nei-san looks at me while shedding scalding tears!
「No! That's not it! Isn't this just words?! What I want is to make you happy from the bottom of your heart!」
「...I'm happy. Yo-chan is saying that for me」
「No no no...I haven't done anything yet! I will do it from now on! I'll do my best! I don't know what to do or what to work hard on but...I'll desperately work hard for it...!」
...Miserable.
...Frustrating
I don't know what to do at all...
But, I knew...
Right now, I...
I can't heal the sadness in Nei-san's heart from the loss of Kei-san...
...Dammit!
「...Yo-chan, that is good enough for me now」
Nei-san looks down and said.
...No.
That's not the case...!
「...Nei. Could you stop depending on your brother?」
Minaho-neesan's voice comes from a high place.
Minaho-neesan is going down the stairs from the principal's office.
「...Sensei, what do you mean by that?」
Nei-san looks up at Minaho-neesan and asked.
「...Nei, how old are you this year?」
「...Eighteen」
Nei-san answered.
「You were the youngest of『Kuromori』three years ago. Yukiyo joined in after that but...both of you were on the same age but you don't mingle that much. Agnes is a concealed existence...」
