The case where I was gradually getting buried in the heavy love of my childhood friend who had miraculously recovered from their illness was perfect! - Chapter 63 : A Refreshing Morning!

Chapter 63 : A Refreshing Morning!

“Oh, we meet again.”

“…Um.”

In a somewhat nostalgic, yet not quite familiar sensation, I encountered a beautiful woman. She claimed we had met before, and indeed, this seemed not to be our first encounter. Slowly, memories started coming back to me. Yes, she was the person I often met in dreams.

‘…It’s really strange that we frequently meet in my dreams.’

However, something still bothered me. Did I really meet this woman only in my dreams? Meeting such a mysterious person in reality would cause a stir, yet there was something intriguing, and I couldn’t help but feel restless.

“I recall a bit… It feels mysterious, doesn’t it?”

“I feel the same way. In many ways, it seems you and I have a high affinity.”

“…Are you intentionally being mysterious?”

“It’s just the way it is. However, I am genuinely surprised. Despite saying multiple times that this would be the last, we meet again.”

“…..”

Truly, just who is this person? It might be suspicious to say so, but I feel like I’m preventing myself from considering this person suspicious. I can’t think of her as suspicious. Rather, my heart seems to acknowledge that she is a good person.

“If we’ve met again like this, let’s talk again.”

“Talk?”

“Yes—The world you live in is a world where various feelings intersect. It truly is a world at the end of miracles.”

Here we go again… but I’ll engrave this conversation firmly. Even if I wake up and forget, this person’s voice and atmosphere resemble that girl somehow.

“If one boy lost a precious girl, and one girl left behind a precious boy, it’s an inevitable parting… However, the scars left in the boy’s heart are so significant that they won’t heal, no matter how many words of encouragement he receives.”

“…..”

In a rhythmic and easily understandable tone, the woman continued. Perhaps because it was easy to understand, it resonated in the heart. It felt heavy, but rather than pressure, there was now a contradictory sense of relief.

“Rokudo Nagisa — do you laugh at yourself for being weak? Your heart breaks over a single farewell, and no matter how much time passes, that sorrow never truly heals.”

“I can’t deny that.”

Everyone feels sadness over parting with someone dear, and even if time is said to heal, there might be moments of tears when the memories resurface. From my perspective, if Rion had been gone at that time… what could I have done to overcome that sorrow?

After pondering for a while, I spoke.

“Some people might laugh it off… From my perspective, I might not say such things in front of the person, but a stranger might think, Why is this person still grieving?”

“Yes.”

“But I… having almost experienced that, I understand. If I were in that position, I wonder how I could overcome that sadness. In manga, anime, or dramas, the person would stand up and say they’re going to live their life to the fullest, overcoming the sadness. But this is reality.”

“That’s true. As long as we live, we must look forward… However, denying the sadness we carry is something no one can do.”

The woman stood up and stood in front of me.

“Answers may vary from person to person, but that’s why people do their best to prevent becoming like that and cherish the present. Please don’t forget those precious feelings.”

“I won’t forget… Oh, this exchange will be forgotten as usual, right?”

“That’s right… Oh, let me continue a bit from our previous conversation.”

Saying that, the woman snapped her fingers. Then, a strange sound echoed, followed by two familiar voices.

“I never said you were weak, you know? I wanted to support you because you were like that.”

“It’s really nice to hear that. Even if the heart’s wounds don’t fully heal, you helped me a lot.”

“Ahaha! You helped me when I was in trouble. You’re my prince, right?”

“Can you stop with that ‘prince’ thing? That’s not my style.”

“Well, well, if it’s private, forgive me. I want to flaunt it outside, but it’s a bit much.”

“You won’t stop!?”

“Hehe~♪ But… when I hear this, I think. The person you held dear… I wanted to meet them.”

This exchange… What on earth is happening?

“If miracles hadn’t occurred, what would have happened… It’s a simple story. Regardless of how fate turned, the person in our story is facing forward and moving forward.”

“I see.”

“Yes. Well then, it’s goodbye again — though let’s not say this is the last time. If fate allows, we’ll meet again.”

“Wa-wait—”

And so, our encounter ended once again.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

“…Ah.”

When I opened my eyes, the ceiling of my room came into view. For some reason, my eyes felt hot, and when I touched them, there were tears. It seems I had been crying in my dreams.

“…Jeez, I can’t believe this…”

Thinking that, I noticed her sleeping next to me as she cuddled up.

Come to think of it, we slept together last night. I remembered, but seeing her defenseless sleeping face was even more… no, she’s always cute and beautiful.

“Thanks for yesterday, Rion… I want to protect you, but I always end up relying on you.”

Well, she wants me to do that, so it’s not bad.

But no matter when, a man wants to present himself well.

“…But still.”

Thinking it was an incredibly luxurious awakening, I couldn’t help but look at Rion’s face a little more closely out of curiosity.

Even this ordinary time was incredibly, irrationally making me happy.
