hmm….

Sun-chan scratched his head and knitted his eyebrows together.

I see. This isn’t a face of modesty, but rather a face for when someone is
troubled over not being able to think of anything.

If that’s the case, then I guess I’ll help him out.

「If that’s the case, then I think that Kushikatsu1 would be good. Kushikatsu is
one of Sun-chan’s favourite foods after all.」
Phew. My support is skillful today as well.

If it’s a pass like this, Cosmos will also be able to decide calmly right? ……
She will be able to decide, right?

「Is that so!? Thanks Jouro-kun! Then, I’ll make kushikatsu for tomorrow!」

Alright, nice job Cosmos. With this, the developments afterwards should also
move in a good direction.

「For reals!? Ooohoooo! Cosmos-san, thank you very much!」

「You don’t have to thank me so strongly like that… It’s a little,
embarrassing……」
Squeezing her hands in front of her chest, Cosmos makes a lovely gesture.

Cosmos acts quite differently from her usual adult-like impression whenever
Sun-chan is concerned.

Her lady-like gestures extremely eye catching.

「Somehow, it seems like I’ve misunderstood Cosmos-san.」

「Huh?」

In response to Sun-chan who said that with a smile across his whole face,
Cosmos, who didn’t know what he was talking about, had a little colour of
anxiety light up her eyes.

It’s okay Cosmos.

When Sun-chan makes a face like that, he definitely won’t say anything
inconvenient for you.

「I thought you were a really serious, adult-like person but, after talking with
you like this, in reality you’re just a cute, wonderful girl.」
Shuuu-po~ The Cosmos train is leaving the station~.

There was smoke coming from her head with a “bo-shuuuu” sound!

When I said she was beautiful she just let that pass, but when Sun-chan said
she was cute it didn’t escape her ears.

Even if I said the same thing word for word, she wouldn’t react like that.

This is the difference between a protagonist and mob character huh? What a
cruel world.

But, it’s too late to complain about that.

Let’s not think about every little thing. Right now, let’s focus on the higher
priority things first.

「Th, th-th-th-thanks.」

「Hahaha, Cosmos-san, you’re face is red you know?」

「T-that’s not the case!」

「Suu ー re.」

「Ah, that’s right. Sun-chan, president Cosmos, do you guys have a moment?」

「Oh? What’s up Jouro?」

「What is it Jouro-kun?」
「This Friday you see, I’ve got something I need to do after school, so is
it okay if just the two of you go home together?」

「That’s completely fine with me!」

「M- me too! Jouro-kun, me too!」

Sweet. Mission complete. Good bye Cosmos, do your best on Friday.

After I went home and finished changing clothes, I got a message

from Cosmos saying “Thank you. I’ve really become dependent on
you”.

Looking at that message and recalling Sun-chan’s feelings, a bitter

feeling spilled out in my mind.

……Seriously, what should I do……

***

Early in the morning, I was walking on the path to school absentmindedly.

Yesterday night, I desperately thought about things after coming home, but
as expected no solutions came to mind.

After that, I thought about plan one, “Cosmos or Himawari date Sun-chan”.

As for the matter with Pansy…… Well, I think I have a solution for that. I’m
postponing it.

That shitty girl went and said what she pleased.

But, properly apologizing is probably for the

best…

「He~y Jouro, are you listening?」

「……Huh? Aah, yeah I’m listening.」
