I push the kid!

Taku Makimura held her hand, and Hoshino Ai raised her head with a somewhat confused look in her eyes.

"I'm not planning to leave either," said Taku Makimura.

Hoshino Ai turned her face away as if embarrassed, but held the other person's four fingers tightly in her palm.

"My hands are cold."

"It can't get any hotter." Hoshino Ai blinked.

"Really?" Makimura Taku responded.

Hoshino Ai nodded, and after a few seconds said, "Will you be unhappy?"

"Because of lies?"

"Yes," she added, "I'm sorry, I don't know either."

"Hmm." Makimura Taku groaned and said, "To be honest, it's not impossible at all."

She suddenly tightened her grip, as if she was afraid that Makimura Taku would suddenly pull away and run away: "Even hateful, right?"

"A little bit." Makimura Taku confessed to her.

"sorry."

"Don't apologize."

"This is too much," Hoshino Ai whispered, "I know it better than anyone else."

"It's just a lie." Makimura Taku smiled, "You tell a lot of lies."

"Even so, I never thought that this would hurt others. If I had known earlier, I would..." She suddenly stopped here.

Makimura Taku looked at her slightly lowered head and asked, "You won't lie anymore?"

"……I am not sure."

"So tell me."

“But at first I just felt…”

"Just protect yourself, okay?"

She took a deep breath and hesitated to say the next sentence. Her expression looked like a child who had made a mistake.

Makimura Taku let out a breath and pushed aside her bangs that were stuck to her forehead.

"Although it was indeed an excessive thing, and anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were in the same situation," he said, "even though I knew it was a lie the first time, I didn't let you go immediately."

"..." Hoshino Ai was silent, and their eyes kept meeting each other.

Makimura Taku's pupils did not shift half a centimeter, and although Hoshino Ai's gaze did not move away, her eyes kept wavering.

"Just say it at the beginning." She lowered her head again.

"You told me right from the start. Then what are you going to do? If I tell you."

She couldn't think of a reply at once, and after a long while she managed to utter a few words: "...Apologize soon."

Makimura Taku smiled and said, "What's the difference between then and now?"

"do not know."

Makimura Taku touched her drooping head and said, "As long as I know, that's enough."

"How about that?"

"One day, lies will become reality."

She raised her face, a gleam in her eyes.

“Even if it’s a lie, will it become the truth one day?”

The lights around seemed brighter than before.

The alarm clock ticked one by one, making a crisp sound.

The drawn curtains were constantly swaying by the wind blowing through the cracks of the unclosed windows, and there was a rustling sound similar to the dancing leaves in my ears.

"Perhaps you have forgotten," said Makimura Taku, "but I actually answered this question a long time ago."

"...I forgot." Hoshino Ai said, "Can you say it again?"

"lie."

"Can you please say it again?" she asked.

Makimura Taku nodded: "Then say it again." He said, "It will definitely become a reality."

"..."

"What's wrong."

Hoshino Ai had already changed to a kneeling position. She turned her face away and stroked the purple hair on her forehead: "Makino."

"Ah."

"You have to say I'm here."

"I'm here."

She came over at an extremely fast speed and almost crushed Mucun.

Taku Makimura supported himself on the bed with his hands, and Ai Hoshino held his cheeks and tilted her head to kiss him.

Their lips touched each other, and their warm breath kept blowing on their faces.

Makimura Taku didn't pull away, but Hoshino Ai closed her eyes and knelt on the bed.

Taku Makimura was not sure what her current condition was, but his heart was beating very fast.

He didn't move at all, allowing Hoshino Ai's fingers to press on his face.

And she couldn't control most of her body weight, which rushed over to her.

Marshmallow, the word popped into Makimura Taku's mind in an instant.

Because the girl in front of him was very light, soft all over, and smelled terrible.

"call……"

"..." Makimura Taku looked at her.

The two of them seemed to be competing to see whose eyes were more blurry, and Hoshino Ai was clearly better, with a flush on her face.

"I'm sorry." Hoshino Ai said.

"What's wrong?" asked Makimura Taku.

"I'm not sure," she continued, "if this can make this lie become true sooner..."

"It's so messy."

"Then I do."

Taku Makimura didn't say anything, just looked at her lips and face that were kissed into a peach pink color.

"I want to be truthful, but I may never be able to stop lying in my life," Hoshino Ai said. "If possible, as long as it's not a lie this time, anything is fine."

When the alarm clock pointed to twelve, the wind outside the window had stopped.

The next morning, Taku Makimura came out of the room yawning.

A maid took him to wash and change his clothes, and then led him to a special dining room.

"please."

"Thank you."

He walked in from the door and saw Tomoki Ogura, who was wearing a maid outfit, setting the table.

"What's this."

"I made breakfast."

"You're dressed like this."

“It’s not cosplay.”

"I know that."

"It's the wedding party."

"It's a bit awesome."

Ogura Yuki put all the tableware in place: "Is it so difficult to praise me?"

"I've been praising you."

"How did you praise Xiao Ai?"

"I don't really remember."

Looks good, suits you very well, not bad, anything else? Makimura Taku stroked his chin and thought.

Tomoki Ogura expanded his shoulders, raised his head and relaxed slightly, then he put his hands on his waist and told Taku Makimura to sit down in an imperative tone.

“You can’t eat it yet.”

"Yes."

"Wait for me to call Xiao Ai."

"sorry to bother you."

She gave him a dissatisfied look, while Makimura Taku held up his face and prepared to take out his cell phone.

Ogura Tomoki sighed deeply and didn't seem angry anymore.

Before leaving the room, she asked again, "Xiao Ai hasn't come yet, is it because of you?"

"Don't blame me for everything."

She didn't ask any further questions and just walked away. The maid at the door smiled at Makimura Taku, and Makimura Taku nodded stiffly.

After breakfast, Tomoki Ogura called Hoshino Ai and said he had something to say.

Hoshino Ai was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement.
