It Seems That Takane, the Current Girlfriend, Definitely Doesn't Want to Lose to the Ex-girlfriend - 47-ACT 7-4

Declaration of War, Again

It was the first day of school after Golden Week. After school, I came to the library with Takane-san.

I borrowed the book she returned, and Takane-san borrowed the book I returned.

“What should we do today?”

“I wonder… Since we’re here, let’s study together.”

“Yes, I’d also like to talk to you… No, we shouldn’t be chatting in the library.”

Takane-san shushed and held up a finger to her lips. Even such a gesture was too cute – I was able to keep it out of my voice this time, but if this were to continue several times, my self-control would likely break down.

“…The lip balm, was it okay?”

“Lip… Ah… No, it was fine.”

Assuming she left a mark on my cheek, I still didn’t wipe it off immediately. No, I should have probably wiped it off, but I didn’t until I got home.

“…I’m glad they didn’t stick.”

“Y-Yeah…”

What an exchange in a sacred library! No, I didn’t know whether it’s sacred or not anymore.

“Nagito-san, this sound is…”

From somewhere, I heard a tune. It sounded like a guitar.

The song sounded familiar. It was the ending song of ‘Ao Riri’ sung by Takane-san and Asatani-san.

Were they playing music in the light music club? I didn’t hear any singing, even when the singing should come in. I wanted to see who was playing.

“Nagito-san, shall we call the study another day?”

“Yeah. Takane-san… No…”

“……?”

Sometimes my friends and, for some reason, my sister were ahead of me.

On the contrary, that meant I could do it any time I wanted – What an excuse to leave it at that!

Now, I thought I could naturally do it. I wanted to, so I followed my heart.

“Let’s take a look, Nozomi.”

Takane-san – No, Nozomi looked at me with a surprised face.

As the realization hit her, a single tear rolled down her cheek.

“I’m sorry… I’m happy… I didn’t know I could be this happy.”

“…There is more to it than that. There’s so much more. I’ll make sure I don’t miss out on any of them.”

“Yes… Me too. I want to make Nagito-san happy as much as I can. I won’t lose to anyone.”

Then I’ll make you happier – This was an exchange that I could repeat over and over again and never get tired of.

We headed for the place where we heard the sound. I was sure Asatani-san would be there.

A short time after we left the library, Takane-san tried to pinch the hem of my clothes. I then grabbed her hand.

Even for such a short period of time, when nobody was around to see it, we would keep doing things like this so as not to miss it.

A high peak. That’s what I would have thought if it had been me not so long ago.

And there was my ‘ex-girlfriend’ – And not only that, she didn’t want to lose anyone.

Asatani-san was playing guitar in the light music club room. I had heard that the videos of her playing were very popular.

Asatani-san noticed our presence and struck the pose we had seen her strike during karaoke.

It was an unmistakable declaration of war. Takane-san responded to it head-on – She looked at me next to her and giggled shyly.
