In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"Hmm~"

Goto pressed his lips tightly together, trying hard not to shout out loud.

In any case, it's really embarrassing to make a big fuss over a minor injury.

—Although falling on flat ground is embarrassing enough, May only said she fell down the stairs to save face for her.

Kira Yoshikage asked gently:

"Can you still walk?"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just a minor injury..."

Goto weakly explained, trying to get up from the bed, but Kira Yoshikage pressed his shoulders down and made him sit down again.

"Take a good rest. I'll explain everything to the teacher."

Kira Yoshikage gave a word of advice, exchanged a glance with May, and then left the infirmary without a word.

Nakano Satsuki put the iodine back in its place and asked:

"Would you like a glass of water, Goto-kun?"

Goto shook his head slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Ah, Nakano-kun, are you and Kira-kun friends?"

Nakano Satsuki blinked:

"Why do you ask that? Kira-kun and I are just ordinary classmates."

Satsuki Nakano vehemently denied it; as long as she firmly denies it, it means this never happened!

Anyway, Goto has no evidence.

She and Kira-kun didn't have any intimate behavior at school, so she shouldn't have given herself away, right?

Goto Doku suddenly asked:

"What about us?"

"Huh?"

Nakano Satsuki paused for a moment, then hesitated before answering:

"classmate?"

To be fair...

She and Goto Dokujin were not close.

They were supposed to be sitting at desks in front of and behind each other, but there was also Yoshikage Kira sitting in the middle.

Moreover, their social circles are completely different.

Because of her appearance and family background, Nakano Satsuki was able to integrate directly into the popular social circle of Miura Yumiko and Kitagawa Kaimu, even though she was a transfer student.

Goto Doku, on the other hand, was relatively withdrawn and didn't have many friends in his class.

Unlike Yoshikage Kira, who actively keeps his distance from others, Doku Goto is the type who genuinely can't make friends.

"Ah, so that's why,"

Goto muttered to himself, "Nakano and I are just ordinary classmates, but Nakano wouldn't specifically emphasize that our relationship is just ordinary, would he? So why would Nakano emphasize that his relationship with Kira is just ordinary? Isn't that strange?"

"Haha,"

Nakano Satsuki's eyes flickered, and she said vaguely:

"It's not that strange, it shows that..."

Goto lowered his head and silently murmured to himself:

"Doesn't that mean it's anything but ordinary?"

There's a saying: the more you lack something, the more you emphasize it.

It's precisely because their relationship is anything but ordinary that they emphasize that their relationship is ordinary, right?

But why?

Goto felt inexplicably frustrated.

She was initially happy, feeling that Yoshikage Kira was like her because they were both lonely and unpopular.

She even volunteered to talk to Yoshikage Kira, albeit under the guise of the Light Music Club, even though the club had a great environment and everyone there was a kind person willing to accept someone as颓废 and gloomy as her.

However, Goto Doku always believed that her gloomy personality meant she only deserved to be friends with people who were equally gloomy and withdrawn.

Ultimately, she and Yoshikage Kira are the only two people who are the same kind of people.

Because they were of the same kind, Goto Doku always thought that he and Kira Yoshikage were very good friends.

Although they barely communicated, Goto Doku always believed that solitary people could understand each other without words.

Just as she considered Yoshikage Kira a close friend, Yoshikage Kira must have also considered her a close friend in his heart, right?

It must be true—at least that's what Goto Doku believed before.

But why, why did it turn out like this?

The more she learned about him, the more she truly felt the difference between herself and Yoshikage Kira.

I am genuinely a loner, genuinely unpopular.

Kira Yoshikage's 'aloofness' was just a facade!

He's not unpopular at all; he just doesn't bother associating with other people.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have categorized you and me as the same kind of people."

Goto Dokuichi couldn't help but tremble at the thought, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

In the end, she was still all alone.

Sure enough, there's only one person in the whole world as eccentric as her.

"Eh?! You're crying...crying? Goto-kun, don't cry..."

Nakano Satsuki frantically waved her arms, completely bewildered as to why Goto Doku had suddenly burst into tears.

Is it just because you can tell that she and Kira-kun have a good relationship?

But why?

Is it such a heinous crime that she and Kira-kun have a good relationship?

Why are you crying?

"Could it be that,"

Nakano Satsuki had a sudden flash of inspiration, and a guess popped into her mind:

"Goto-kun has always had a crush on Kira-kun, and the reason she cried is because she was worried that I would steal Kira-kun away?"

It's no wonder she would have such a guess.

After all, people can't always put themselves in other people's shoes and presumptuously imagine other people's motives.

Because I hate chili peppers, I think that other people's tears when eating stir-fried pork with chili peppers are caused by the chili peppers. Little do I know that other people may just be shedding tears of emotion because they are tasting the taste of their hometown.

And this is how Nakano Satsuki is now:

Because she secretly loves Yoshikage Kira, Nino had held back her tears when she confessed her feelings. Now, once she puts herself in Goto Doku's shoes, she starts imagining that Goto Doku is crying for the same reason.

and so……

"Goto-kun."

May gently held Boqi's hands, her voice soft and sincere:

"I won't steal Kira-kun away~!"

Yoshikage Kira is the big tree, and she is just a little bird that builds its nest at the treetop.

No matter what, it's impossible to take possession of the big tree.

So it's better to be more magnanimous.

In any case, she already has plenty of experience in sharing this with her sisters.

Goto looked up blankly, only to meet May's sincere eyes.

simply……

"She's just like an angel!"

Goto's tears streamed down his face as he cried even more bitterly.

I'm so sorry, it's such a shame that someone as gloomy as her needs to be comforted by an angel like you.

Even if she died a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to atone for her sins.

Afternoon, Light Music Club.

Instead of leisurely enjoying the exquisite afternoon tea and pastries as usual, the young women at the tea party unusually began to reminisce about their main duties.

Five girls stood on the sun-drenched stage, like radiant idols. Their jade-white fingers danced gracefully among the instruments, turning scattered notes into bright and cheerful melodies that captivated the audience and left them mesmerized.

"Chu! I'm so sorry I was born, you're so cute!"

Chu! I'm sorry for trying to be clever, and I'm sorry for really enjoying life.

Chu! I'm so sorry you're so cute, and I'm so sorry I tried so hard.

Chu! I'm so sorry for being so haughty, and I'm so sorry for having such high feminine charm.

You're really angry, aren't you? Serves you right!

when!

The drumsticks struck the cymbals, striking out the final, resounding note and ending the cheerful melody.

Kotobuki Tsumugi removed her hands from the keyboard and asked expectantly:

"Kira-kun, what do you think?"
