68 - The strong-willed unattainable flower is my lover even in real life (Patreon)

RAW

[I became even closer to Kazuki-kun.]
[Good for you, Hiu.]
[Congratulations.]

......

“To celebrate the fulfillment of love between me and Kazuki-kun, cheers!”
“Ch, cheers”
“Kyu─n!”

In the dream, we were toasting.
According to Hiuri, we achieved it after great pains, so celebrating it is natural.

“It was really long...”
“Yeah.”

We drink carbonated juice and eat cupcakes. These two are what Hiuri wanted. Note that Muu has regular juice and cake.

“Still, I wonder why Hiuri's sensation are so different between real life and the dream.”
“I think it's all in the mindset after all, right? Because, we've been together in the dream for months now... It can't be helped that I think differently from the me in real life who just discovered love.”

How many times have I been pushed around by Hiuri because of her divergence from real life? There is a saying that ‘all's well that ends well’, but that doesn't mean there won’t be some ill will left behind.
Well, I forgive her though.

“Now we can flirt even in real life.”
“You want to flirt?”
“Hmm... in real life, if I have to say, I'd rather feel safe... so maybe I just one-sidedly want to be spoiled.”

Hiuri in the dream is quite aggressive. If there's something she wants to do, she'll do it right away, and she demands a lot of things from me.
I enjoy it too, so it’s okay, but that might be something that she only does because we’re in the dream.

“Well, as long as you love both of me, I’m fine with it.”
“That’s of course.”

We don't talk about which one is more important. This is because both are Hiuri and both are important.
Just because she’s in the dream, doesn’t mean I can make light of this Hiuri, and just because the time I spent with her is short, doesn't mean I can be distant to Hiuri in real life. Actually, the fact that I don't prioritize one over the other is the same as before.

“Please take care of me, Kazuki-kun.”

......

When I woke up in the morning and came to my classroom, Hiuri was there. As usual, she's near my seat.

“Good morning Kazuki-kun.”
“Good morning Hiuri.”

We had so many things going on yesterday, but since we get through it, things will be the same as usual. We’re not the type to give off such a sweet atmosphere anyway.

That said, the atmosphere is clearly different from Hiuri’s name calling incident the other day. Although the boys made a fuss about it at first, it was unnatural that there was no news from them after that.
Even now, while we greet each other, the boys are having their usual morning chats.

“Hiuri, don’t you think the boys’ reactions are strange?”
“We don't have to get involved, do we ? I'm sure everyone has lost interest in me.”

That’s absolutely wrong. They had become something of a mob back then, just by looking at their state, I can say they had become die-hard fans, I don’t think those boys would lose interest so easily.

As I was thinking about this, Tadashi came over.

“Yoo, Kazuki.”
“Good morning Tadashi. Do you know anything about the boys' reactions?”
“Who knows. Haven’t they lost interest?”

Tadashi said that matter-of-factly. Tadashi has a lot of acquaintances, so if he said he doesn’t know anything, that means there’s nothing...

“Shindo-kun said so too, so you don't have to worry about it.”
“Hmm... well, I guess that's true.”

Since there is no real harm to it, I guess it’s fine to leave it alone. It’d be troubling if something like the hallway abduction happened again, but if they don't show any reaction, I don't think it’s a problem.

Since Tadashi, who was so shaken the other day, is back to normal operation, let’s rely on Tadashi if anything happens. Tadashi being Tadashi is scary though.

“Ah, right, Kazuki-kun.”
“Hm?”
“Let's go home together from today. I'll be following Kazuki-kun.”

Hiuri says excitedly. Somehow, her reaction is becoming more girly than ever...

“Sure. But is that okay?”
“It's okay. No one will say anything even if I come back late.”

If Hiuri is late enough to have to be escorted by the police, her parents will be contacted, so it will be troublesome, but otherwise Hiuri can go home whenever she wants. There are no parents to get angry at Hiuri after all.
There are no parents to get angry at her, so I’ll get angry in their place.

“That’s not good, Hiuri. You have to get home early.”
“…I  guess it can’t be helped...”

Hiuri looks discontent, but somehow she looks like a young child.
Whether in looks, studies, or sports, Hiuri is excellent in all of them, but because she doesn't receive much education from her parents, sometimes she becomes childish.

I have to support Hiuri in that aspect as well. I don't think it's enough to just spoil her.

“Ah, right, Kazuki.”
“Hm?”
“Can we say that you and Sakura-san are in love with each other?”

Tadashi suddenly said that. When I was at a loss for an answer, Hiuri answered in my stead.

“Yes, that’s right.”
“I knew it... thank you for letting me know.”

After saying that, Tadashi left the classroom and went somewhere.
What the hell was that?

“Kazuki-kun, please take care of me from now on.”
“Me too, please take care of me.”

Although some things haven't been resolved, Hiuri and I have become lovers in real life. I'll have to do my best to support Hiuri.
