Under such an atmosphere, I couldn't kiss her at all.
After ascertaining that everyone had returned to their own rooms, I went to Masuzu's room and knocked on her door.
"I'm sorry!"
In Dogeza form, I bowed my head to Masuzu, who was sitting on the bed in her pajamas.
"I-I ended up being unable to kiss you! The way things turned out were beyond my expectations. Under that kind of circumstances, it was a little awkward for a kiss and...... it's impossible for me! Sorry!"
"--- why are you apologizing?"
I looked up on hearing that gentle voice to a smiling Masuzu.
She appeared to be tired, and filled with sadness.
"If you forcibly kissed me in that situation --- I'll look on you with disdain."
"......"
"Unknowingly."
Masuzu shook her head.
Clasped in her hand was the "Otsu" strap.
"Unknowingly, I was a little taken aback. I ended up being moved. By their gift. At the same time, what an unsightly creature I am, I thought to myself. Once again, I realized how much of a devil I am."
"No, that's just an occasional thing......"
"It's not an occasional thing."
Looking at that swaying "Otsu", Masuzu said.
"It's not an occasional thing, Eita. Indeed, Harusaki-san and the rest look upon me as their enemy. But yet, at the same time, they are people who can gift me with this. They are people who can gift their adversary with such a thing...... They are too different from me."
A heavy silence followed.
This might be the first time I'm seeing Masuzu reprimanding herself so much.
"I guess you won't be able to win tomorrow's contest."
"...... probably."
In her current state, Masuzu probably couldn't outdo others in demonstrating her "Dere Appeal".
"Perhaps it's better to just withdraw."
"Yeah. Frankly, I was thinking about that but...... still, it's better to make an appearance and get judged. If I take into consideration of her feelings."
Masuzu stood up and took out my "Chuu-Ni Notebook" from her travel bag.
"Harusaki-san's chagrin and sadness at me taking away you from her ---. If I consider those feelings of hers, I can't just get defeated without a fight."
Flipping through the notebook, she showed the very last page.
The words written took up most of the two pages.
My heart stirred nostalgically.
I remembered the feelings at that time.
I'll become a doctor, and cure Chiwa's body!!
Masuzu then smiled quietly.
"Thanks for everything. After this training camp, you will be free."
