◎Confess your feelings, then kiss◎
"So, is that why you threw pillows at my face?" Maki said.
She removed the pillow that had hit her face; red marks were already visible on her face from the impact.
A tic appeared on Maki's forehead. She grabbed the pillow next to her, raised her voice, and said, "In that case, if I hit you and you have to go to Ms. Ieiri for treatment, you can't complain, right?"
After saying that, she forcefully threw the pillow in her hand at the other people in the room.
Wow... Maki-senpai is incredibly strong!!
Yuuki Matsuna hurriedly dodged to the side, avoiding Maki's attacks while grabbing a pillow in an attempt to retaliate.
But as soon as she picked up the pillow, her calf turned red from being hit by it.
Yuuki Matsuna looked in the direction from which the object had come, and there stood Inuhamaki Toshi. When she looked over, Inuhamaki Toshi winked at her.
It was obvious that he was the one who had just hit Yuki Matsuna's calf.
It seems that Senior Dog Roll is thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Hey, hey." Fushiguro Megumi sighed, trying to stop the three seniors who were already getting carried away, "You're high school students, don't play games like this anymore—"
Before he could finish speaking, a pillow hit him in the face.
"Hui, don't be so serious, let's play together," said the culprit, the panda.
Fushiguro Megumi stopped trying to persuade her.
He grabbed the pillow that had hit his face and threw it at the panda with all his might.
Now, four people are having a great time in this childish game.
Yuki Matsuna chuckled twice. She picked up a pillow, wanting to join in, but for some reason, she couldn't throw it away, as if someone was holding it back from behind.
She turned her head in confusion, and there stood behind her, holding the other side of the pillow, smiling at her.
Seeing her look at him, Etsukuyuta put a finger to his lips and said, "Shh."
"If Yuuki joins in, she'll definitely get hurt, right?" Yuta tilted his head and asked her.
A seductive smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his other hand and asked, "In that case, Yuuki, why don't you come with me to see the stars? I think that would be a lot of fun, and it certainly wouldn't be any worse than a pillow fight."
This...this is something that only happens in shoujo manga!!!
While everyone else is fighting, she secretly leaves hand-in-hand with the male lead to find a place for just the two of them—isn't this the kind of romantic scene that only happens in shoujo manga?!
How could Matsuna Yuuki refuse? She placed her hand in Yuta Otsukoshi's hand, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards even further.
"So, shall we go?"
Before Yuuki Matsuna could answer, he grabbed her hand, put his other arm around her waist, and jumped out of the window.
Wait...wait a minute, jumping off a building isn't something that happens in a shoujo manga!!
People will die! People will die in such a tall building!
Terrified, Yuuki Matsuna unconsciously wrapped her arms around Otsukoshi Yuta's neck, closed her eyes, and braced herself for the excruciating pain.
But instead of pain, a feeling of solid ground came.
A giant hand caught Yuuki Matsuna and Otsuko Yuta; it was a familiar hand, the hand that had once slapped her face.
It's Li Xiang.
The Queen of Curses caught them.
The hand that once beat up Yuuki Matsuna is now serving as a platform for Otsuko Yuta and Yuuki Matsuna to establish themselves.
“Rika, put us on that tree,” said Yuta Otsuko.
Rika did as she was told, moving to the tall tree and placing Otsuko Yuta and Yuuki Matsuna on it.
Yuta patted her head in praise and said, "Thank you, Rika, you can go back now."
Rika then disappeared.
Yuki Matsuna stood on the tree, its branches thick enough to support both of them.
"You can try sitting down." Yuta sat down, and his legs naturally dangled down, hovering in the air.
He turned to look at Matsuna Yuuki, then patted the spot next to him, gesturing for her to sit down, and said, "This might help you maintain your balance better than standing up, you know?"
"Really...really?" Yuki Matsuna swallowed. She wasn't afraid of heights, but standing so far from the ground, no one would be unafraid.
She tried to move two steps, but as soon as she took her second step, her body began to sway from side to side because she lost her balance.
Yuki Matsuna tried to get back to where she had been, but in her panic, she lost her footing and fell completely downwards.
It's...it's all over!
But she didn't fall.
"That was so careless." Yuta grabbed her wrist and pulled Matsuna Yuuki back with force.
He smiled at the still-shaken Yuuki Matsuna, supported her waist to help her maintain her balance, and said, "That's alright, Yuuki won't fall."
The fear of being suspended in mid-air made Yuuki Matsuna afraid to take another step, but Otsuku Yuta encouraged her: "Trust me, Yuuki, you really won't fall."
His encouragement gave Matsuna Yuuki a surge of courage. She took a deep breath and tried to take a step on the tree stump.
One step, two steps, three steps.
With the help of the person in front of her maintaining her balance, she successfully walked to the center of the branch and sat down on it.
Yuta sat down beside her and chuckled, "See? I told you we wouldn't fall again."
Only then did Yuuki Matsuna realize how close the two of them were.
A world for two, the two of them together on a tree branch, so close, watching the stars together.
Time, place, and action.
Having gathered all the essential elements of a shoujo manga, the next step should be the most crucial one.
Confess your feelings, then kiss.
Countless stars twinkled in the darkness, and moonlight shone on the two people sitting so close together on the tree branch, undisturbed by anyone.
This is the best time to confess your feelings, and also the best time to kiss.
Yuki Matsuna's heart began to pound wildly, and the little deer, as if it didn't need to rest even in the night, once again banged its forehead against the wall made of its heart.
The rapid beating of her heart added an ambiguous atmosphere to the scene; Yuuki Matsuna wasn't quite sure whether the beating sound was her own or the other person's.
The only thing she was certain of was that her heart was indeed pounding wildly; she was smitten with Yuta Otsuku, and she liked Yuta Otsuku.
Mommy always says, if you like something, you should say it out loud.
She took a deep breath and leaned her body towards Yuta Otsukoshi, but he didn't notice at all. He was still looking up at the sky, admiring the twinkling stars.
