Kapitel 919: True Nature

My encounter with Itou and Misaki was apparently anticipated by the girls. When I arrived, Himeko was the first one to run to me, asking me what happened. Naturally, I answered her truthfully and told her not to worry.

Itou surely understood my reasoning. On the other hand, Misaki was just her natural self. One was the little sister of my girl and the other, was someone I considered my first friend.

The future was filled with uncertainties so I also couldn’t just dismiss the possibility that I would eventually fall for them as well. But at the moment, that’s not the case so I had to draw that kind of line.

Itou would surely be a little hurt if she’s actually hoping to jump to this side and be acknowledged by me. But knowing her, she’s a mature girl. She’d grow past it.

And I might even receive a confession from her. But the chances for that were close to zero.
