No, now I just gave the order, regardless of demand or urgency.
“Do it.”
“….”
“Do it.”
f*ck.
***
“….”
Ha….
I was standing in front of the headquarters of Mori Group. With seniors.
Yes, I ended up ordering under the guise of the chairman’s request. No, just as he said with his own mouth, he had to kneel at the command itself.
“….”
If you do this again next time, it’s a threat or whatever, I’ll just leave this country.
While I was grinding my teeth inside, the senior next to me hesitated and started talking.
“Juniors… where should we go..?”
…It seemed like he didn’t have any plans after calling him.
“… Well.”
“….”
“….”
And a lingering silence.
“… Let’s just have lunch and part ways.”
It was 11 o’clock when I was called by the chairman, so I had to eat lunch sometime. So, for me who wants to leave this place quickly, the best thing would be to eat and break up.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, the senior spoke with a slight smile.
“… Let’s go to the amusement park….”
“….”
In addition to a smile, her face shows a bit of confidence.
…He seemed to think that since he had his back, he would listen to it unconditionally.
But, of course, I had no intention of listening.
I ignored my senior’s ridiculous request and started walking. Then the senior, who had a disappointed expression for a while, spoke to me again.
“Yeah, then shopping..! Let’s go shopping together, juniors!”
“… Shopping?”
Shopping….
… I honestly don’t want to do that either.
Perhaps he noticed my reluctance to do this, the senior added hurriedly.
“Then I won’t say anything to Grandpa..!”
“… ….”
Heh heh… Heh heh heh…
Is this a threat? Otherwise it would
“….”
Ha….
She herself once said that she felt like she was becoming like a child…. She has become a real asshole.
Where is her grandfather’s chance? He’s getting older….
Ha….
“….”
In the end, I sighed and accepted the senior’s request.
Then, the appearance of the senior I like.
… I hated seeing that look even more today.
***
I went to a nearby restaurant with my seniors, sat face-to-face with him, and started eating. Even though this nobleman is from a conglomerate family, he seemed to be eating well without any awkwardness, perhaps because he had lived a common life for a long time after coming to Heebon Academy.
“….”
The figure of her chewing and chewing.
I eat well….
As I was appreciating such a senior for a while, I suddenly came up with a question and asked her.
“Senior. Senior said he likes me, right?”
Then, startled by my question, she knocked on her chest as if she had swallowed her food by mistake.
She was able to calm him down only after she drank the water I gave her.
“Ugh, yes….”
“Then why do you like me? Even now, like I said before, comforting you and your appearance are all?”
According to what I heard from my seniors before, those two reasons could be said to be almost all of the reasons why he likes me. No, if I had to put it that way, the appearance was 90% of them, so in fact, it could be said that the appearance is everything.
But.
That’s not all, the progressively more certain and sincere devotion and actions she showed me since then couldn’t be explained in me. My intuition was telling me that there was more to it than that. Well, or it could just be my delusion.
Then she started thinking about it for a while, and then she said to me.
“Um… actually… These days, I think juniors themselves are good besides their looks.”
She speaks seriously without trembling for the first time in a while. While I was wondering what she was talking about in my mind at her words, she continued.
“As for being kind….”
“…? No, wait.”
I was kind?? When?
I’m not the original Toyoda, and in my memory, the only thing I did to her was to tell her to stay away and treat her.
“Am I kind? Why? It can’t be?”
When I asked her with all her sincerity, she shook her head and said.
“Eh, juniors are kind, aren’t they? Just like the fact that he came first and apologized when I did something wrong before. Also, how he helped me by even pretending to date something that I could have skipped at the beginning of the school year. And besides those things, like worrying about me and asking me to bring less lunch, thinking of my heart and eating together…. I think things like that are getting better and better as they accumulate.”
“….”
After her words, she gave me a warm smile.
And I saw him.
Huh…
Something.
Something, I’m really sorry.
In a situation like this that should be touching.
…I was regretting it.
‘I should have just ended the relationship sooner…’
While thinking.
It was unimaginable that the situation was getting worse and worse because of my actions. No wonder… I’m sure he would have distanced himself if he had made him feel that much, but I thought his attitude towards him was getting more and more affectionate.
Ha….
I hate myself for thinking like this, and in the meantime, I hate myself even more for regrets. If you think about it rationally, it’s right to throw it away now….
I don’t know, really. I don’t know if I can bear the sadness of my senior in the process.
Ha….
I don’t know, now. Really….

After finishing the meal with my senior, I left for the department store to do some shopping, just as I had promised with my senior.
And.
Two hours had passed since I entered the department store with my seniors.
“….”
“Junior-kun, this also suits you well… lol….”
This old man, this senior, didn’t look at his own clothes and only looked at my clothes for two hours.
It seemed like he had already changed his clothes more than 30 times.
“Ha….”
“This suits you well too, junior.”
And this nobleman was also complimenting me saying that the shoes I wore looked really good on me.
Even though I saw some clothes that weren’t perfect, in her eyes, they just seemed to fit well.
“….”
That’s when I changed into number 5 again. Suddenly, the clothes I was wearing started to catch my eye.
… Have you worn that much?
Wait. But isn’t this a nuisance to the store..?
Come to think of it, we haven’t bought anything since we came to this store, let alone several stores, but only one store. And now I can see it, but the clerk’s expression wasn’t very good.
From that person’s point of view, there is no truth like this.
“….”
In the end, I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, so I told the senior who was praising me.
“Senior, I won’t even buy it, wouldn’t it be a bit of a nuisance to do this?”
Then, the senior looked surprised. It seemed that he had noticed him too.
Now that you know it, you can buy it properly and leave. However, contrary to my expectation that he would leave now, the senior told the clerk.
“Please pay for everything you have worn so far.”
“…?”
And as a result, the clerk and I became dumbfounded. The clerk asked the senior as if he had heard wrongly.
“Hey… You want to buy all of these?”
Then, the senior said yes and handed over the card, and the clerk’s and my expressions were instantly colored with surprise or astonishment.
However, unlike the clerk who went back to the original place and proceeded with the payment, I still looked astonished and said to my senior.
“No. You want to buy all of this?”
Everything here is expensive, right? But are you going to buy all of these again? I’m not the daughter of a conglomerate from some drama..! -It’s not, you’re a real conglomerate, you man.
“… ….”
The senior said with a soft eye smile at my reaction.
“Actually, my grandfather said you can use it as much as you like. If Grandpa says he can use it as much as he wants, then he really can use it as much as he wants.”
Then, as if embarrassed, she continued her words with her face blushing.
“Still, I don’t normally buy this much… I’m doing this because I’m a junior… All of my juniors get along so well….”
“….”
… I couldn’t say anything to her.
No, wait. Ah….
Ah….
And when I came to my senses, it was around the end of the evening after I had done some extra shopping.
“….”
What have I been through?
And only then did I start thinking about what I had been through. In the meantime, I was able to realize that time had also passed considerably.
I was sure to go quickly…. Time has already become like this because I was busy promoting. Now i have to go
“Senior, that… Thank you so much for buying it.”
“Yeah, no, honestly… I bought it because I wanted to buy it….”
“… Thank you though. So, shall we break up now?”
Then, as if taken aback, the senior opened her eyes round and said to me.
“Ah! There are still things I want to do. Can you spend a little more time, junior?”
“…?”
And at her earnest request, I accepted her request while wondering what was going on. Afterwards, it was only after she arrived at the store that she knew what she wanted to do.
“….”
“How are you juniors..? Does this suit you well..?”
She blushes as if she’s ashamed of her. I spoke to her with the utmost sincerity.
“Wow… It’s really, really good. I’m going to cry.”
Then she said she liked it.
Yes, this is exactly what she wanted.
What she wanted was exactly what she wanted, to the extent that she even asked for her shoes, saying, ‘It looks good on me after changing clothes’. That was it.
When I first heard it, I thought it was a very rare wish, but now that I think about it, I think it is a very rare wish.
Heh heh….
But, well, it seems to be a romance of his own, but he still listens to it.
But.
“This?”
“It’s okay to cry.”
“Oh, really? Lol….”
“….”
She smiles shyly.
Seeing her like that, I thought I should react properly from now on.
Seeing her really like her in her footsteps was because her heart ached.
“… ….”
Ha… I want to go home soon.
