"... what's wrong? Lena, you look a little tired, don't you think?

Yua looked at this one worryingly. I shouldn't do this. Take a gentle, deep breath and switch consciousness.

"It's okay. I was just thinking..."

"... Really?

"Yeah. I'm sorry you promised yourself more to the girl at the clothes store than that, huh?

I was trying to worry about it. Tell Yua that I'm okay, or I feel a little forced to, but when I changed the subject, Yua slowly took my gaze off.

"Well, because I don't care about that..."

Yua said so, but she seems a little concerned and seems to be asking how I am. Well, maybe you care about that girl. I thought so and decided to just talk a little bit about Flora.

As for what I told you, I just told you about when I met Flora and what I did, but in the end, I didn't even do anything by saying this just because Flora told me about the range of things I spent most of my time with...

"That happened..."

Youre even seemed a little convinced by the squeal.

"But the kid was talking to Lena in a very close way, but how come he suddenly got silent when he looked at me?

"Ahhh, that's probably true, but I've hardly known anyone in my generation, so I guess I just had trouble with the way we dated? 'Cause that's what I was like when I first met you, too."

"Really?

"That's right. But Yua had something similar going on."

……

When I pointed out that Flora and Youre were doing the same thing, Youre kept quiet as she seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Well, if you don't think Yua hates her, maybe we can get along, so next time you see her, try your best?

"... ok. But what happens about the morning?

Yua came to me about her promise this morning.

"I'll make up for it somewhere. I'm the one who promised, so I'll do anything I can, okay?

"Really!?

I said I was going to do everything I could because I accidentally broke my promise, but Yua seemed happier than I expected. I'm glad Yua smiles, but I manage to nod with that in mind that I may have said a little too much about anything I can do.

"Yeah..."

I hope it's not that there's no clapping either...... and I laughed bitterly when I saw Youre happy with that.
