Perfection and Happiness
Today I said goodbye to my Senpai for the first time in a long time and went straight home.
The nanny is absent as well, so it really is a lonely time for me. I asked Kuroi to investigate Manager Tachibana and Ikenobu-senpai.
Maybe I can find out something at night. Lately, I’ve been with my Senpai all the time after school, eating at the Kitchen Aono and being loved and treated like a real family.
I’m a little tired because of all the things that happened, so my thoughts are a little negative.
“Let’s get some sleep.”
There are some leftovers for dinner. Schoolwork can be put away after dinner.
The bed in my bedroom is beautiful now, thanks to the teddy bear I got as a prize on my last arcade date.
When I go to bed, I hug the teddy bear my Senpai gave me.
“Today, one of my classmates asked me what I liked about Aono-senpai.”
I talk to the teddy bear in my arms. I feel like I’m doing something fairy-tale-like. But it’s necessary to organize my thoughts.
When I first met him on the rooftop, he was kind enough to help me without thinking of himself.
I think it’s amazing that even though he should’ve had the hardest time, he doesn’t hold a grudge against the perpetrator, but instead moves forward.
And the place where he’ll always be there for me. He’s always close to my heart. Since I met him, the days when I thought I wanted to die suddenly seem like a long time ago.
“Maybe if you don’t get to know him deeply, you won’t realize how attractive he is. That’s why they all did such terrible things. But everyone who has had deep contact with him believes in Eiji-senpai. It’s amazing.”
I think Eiji-senpai is a really amazing person. He has the talent of a novelist, but his good nature is never false.
He was raised by such a kind mother. I also heard that his father was also a close friend of former Mayor Minami and was very involved in volunteer activities, and his brother, he’s young, but he doesn’t play around and supports the family business.
The family gets along well and supports each other. I’m really jealous.
Come to think of it, this is the first gift I’ve ever received from a man.
There’ve been many men who have hit on me. Some even insisted on giving me gifts. But I refused all of them and returned them. I had nothing but mistrust for men who treated me like a trophy.
So I was surprised at myself the other day in the arcade when I willingly accepted a gift from him. Of course, I trusted him unconditionally, and I was aware of his fondness for me, but surprisingly, I wasn’t suspicious of him at all, even though I’m very suspicious of men.
“Ah, I know. I should really congratulate my Senpai on his novel next time, right?”
I also wanted to thank him for the teddy bear.
I remember his words when he told me there was no need to rush. Those words may have been words of salvation for me, who was always expected to be perfect by those around me.
“It’s okay if I’m not perfect. As long as I’m moving forward with him, right?”
I fall into a happy sleep, holding the teddy bear that has become my precious treasure.
