I like you, not as a friend, but in a romantic way.
Azusa Stonefield's sudden confession left Miss Tachibana Tomoku stunned for a while, and after confirming it wasn't a joke, her eyes, clear like a deer's, showed a hint of panic.
"B-but... I'm a girl too."
"That doesn't matter, I just like you, that's all."
Tachibana Tomoku remained silent for a while as the fireworks blossomed in the sky. The air around the two girls seemed to freeze, creating a bizarre contrast with Tsukimi Sakurazawa and Ise Yu, who were bouncing happily in front. Azusa Stonefield suddenly felt a bit of regret, regretting putting Tachibana Tomoku in such an impossible situation.
If only I had waited a little longer... just a little longer, just a little closer...
But... this grand and desolate atmosphere does make it hard for one not to confess... besides, if I had waited a little longer...
"I'm sorry."
