Saint is very kind.
Even though she thinks I'm a lolicon, she doesn't hate me or reject me, but rather faces me squarely. Well, being a lolicon is a misunderstanding, after all.
Let's start from the beginning.
Hijiri-san is also popular and rumored to be the most beautiful girl in the school. Normally, I'm a flower out of reach to her, so naturally, she wouldn't even bother with me.
In the sense that she is a person from a different world, she is similar to Hime.
Despite that, ever since we met, she has always spoken to me on the same level, never looking down on me or belittling me, and we have built an equal relationship.
That's why I think this.
He's a really wonderful person.
I want to face her properly and relieve her anxiety.
"I'm not a lolicon... but is it still hard to believe?"
"Yeah"
Saint is worried about me.
They mistakenly believe that they have a sexual fetish that will never be satisfied.
Of course, that's a misunderstanding.
However, Hijiri trusts the child's will more than anything, even more than what I say.
"That's what Hime-chan, who is so much smarter than me, said. I'm sorry, I want to believe Yohei, but... Hime-chan is the girl I want to believe more than anyone else."
Hime thinks I'm a lolicon, so Hijiri thinks the same.
In other words, if we want to clear up this misunderstanding, it's no use saying anything to Kiyoshi. We have to improve Hime's perception.
In that case, let's give up on trying to get them to understand here.
However, even if he accepts that he is a lolicon, Hijiri's anxiety still remains.
They will forever be under the mistaken impression that they will only fall in love with children.
"I understand... but please believe me on this."
I don't like that, so I wanted to make one thing clear.
"The reason I think Hime is cute is not because I'm a lolicon."
It's not a sinister reason.
It wasn't because I had ulterior motives.
"Because she's Hime, I thought she was cute. She's such a good girl that I wanted her to be my little sister... That's what I thought. I don't feel this way about any other girl."
I admit that I think Hime is a wonderful girl.
However, he made sure to make sure the reason for this was not misinterpreted in any strange way.
"...Hime was the only one who was special."
I just don't want to be misunderstood on this point.
The only thing I wanted to do was to deny the idea that I approached her because I was a lolicon.
"Just Hime-chan...?"
Hijiri still looked a little suspicious.
However, I have one piece of evidence that completely refutes Hijiri on this point.
"I think Hijiri-san would understand. Because Hime is... so cute. I'm sure Hijiri-san would agree with that."
Hijiri dotes on her younger sister.
Anyone can see that by looking at his attitude towards Hime.
It's true that Hijiri is kind to everyone, but Hime is clearly special.
So I'm sure she feels the same way as me.
"--That's true!"
See, I thought so.
Hijiri-san nodded vigorously at what I said. He didn't hesitate for even a moment, as if to say that my logic was perfect and there was no room for any rebuttal.
"Hime-chan, you're so incredibly cute. I see, that's why Yohei couldn't resist either."
...Although I feel like that way of saying it is slightly different.
However, I think that what I wanted to convey most has been conveyed, so I didn't deny it and just nodded.
"So, don't worry. Not just anyone will do... Only Hime is special to me."
Just because someone is young doesn't mean they're okay.
It's not because I was young that I fell in love with Hime.
It's not like being young is the most important thing.
Because she was Hime, I thought she was cute.
I'm sure that in the future I will never feel this way about anyone other than Hime.
When I told him that, Hijiri... seemed relieved and patted my shoulders.
"I see. That's good... it's just Hime-chan."
I wonder if I was able to ease some of your anxiety.
The suspicion of being a lolicon has not yet been cleared. However, if Hime is the only one who thinks that he is a lolicon, then that's fine for now.
