Chapter 21 – What Is She Doing? (5)
“Uh, anyway. Why did you come?”
I wanted to quickly skip the uncomfortable subject.
Lily’s sister answered my question.
“I was curious about who that… Girlfriend was.”
“…My girlfriend?”
I knew I would ask, but I didn’t expect to ask so early.
No matter how many times I replay it, I still have insufficient imagination… I wonder if it will be okay.
“… Okay. You ran away after telling me you had a girlfriend…”
Bien was clearly gloomy.
To be honest, I didn’t want to say it now.
I had already made one slip of the tongue, but I thought I would do more because I was drunk.
I was going to flesh out the lie a little more in earnest tomorrow.
My name is ‘L Jain’, I didn’t think of anything other than my appearance and my inner self
If I had to answer now, it was a board that had to be made on the fly.
I’m not good at this…
“… Can you tell me next time? It is too late now.”
“That’s why we came early to talk, but you came late.”
Bien says
“… I’ve been waiting for you, can you tell me?”
Said Russ.
Russ still had a burden on his heart, so it was difficult to dismiss even that request.
“… Tell me quickly. Chis… Has a girlfriend… We should know.”
Russ urged.
“… We’ll make sure you’re not a weirdo, Stachis.”
Lily’s sister too.
I made up my mind to think before I speak.
Isn’t it weird to lie? Won’t there be any problems?
After. After.
After taking a deep breath,
“Daddy, tell me quickly-“
“-Elsaine.”
I finally opened up.
Attention is focused on me.
“My name is Elza.”
Bien looked at me for a moment and turned his head again.
Lily’s sister nodded slowly.
Russ kept muttering something.
“… Zain… Zain… El Zain…”
Lily’s sister asked.
“…Pretty?”
“Yes?”
What is the first question It’s a question that only men ask.
Why don’t you ask first how you feel?
Only me but
Hey, when I look at my lover, I don’t care so much about looks.
“Are you pretty, girlfriend?”
“Uh… Yes. It is pretty.”
“More than me?”
In response to Lily’s sister’s question, I repeated the settings.
And I saw my sister.
It’s not good to be caught, sister Lily. Decadent beauty.
If you don’t talk, it makes you feel a bit hard to approach.
“No. Objectively, I think noona is prettier.”
“But why-“
“I?”
Russ interrupted Lily’s older sister, who was about to ask her something.
“Girlfriend, are you prettier than me?”
It seems like a sudden appearance war has occurred.
Black hair and black eyes. Great height and legs.
Russ is also very pretty to be honest.
“No, actually, objectively, the three of you are prettier than El Zain.”
I don’t want to talk much about looks, so I said it all at once.
The pressure that had been weighing down my shoulders was peeling off.
“But, what does that matter? It was enough to be pretty in my eyes.”
And it comes back in two layers.
I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. The side effects seemed to come from drinking.
In that state, I worked my brain to invent future lies.
“That… Is that so… ?”
I’m Lily noona who doesn’t answer.
“… What does it look like?”
It was Russ again. Actually, a close friend has a lover, so it’s worth wondering.
Even if Russ had a lover, I would be curious too.
Pink eyes and pink hair.
I was trying to say what I was going to say in my head, but it got caught in my throat.
Can I say this
The more you spit out these settings, the more difficult the future may be.
Being too specific can make a person specific.
What if the pink-haired, pink-eyed Elsaine was real?
The odds don’t make sense, but it takes a while.
Can I… Can I?
“Hey! Speak quickly!”
Said Bien, whose voice regained strength.
I had no choice but to turn around.
“It’s just… Cute, pretty, whatever.”
“No, Chis. There are things like hair color and breast size.”
“Go, ask me about the size of my breasts, really.”
“Why can’t you tell me that?”
Russ asked, genuinely curious.
Awesome. Even if I wondered if I could lie, these three women wouldn’t give me a choice anyway.
If you don’t even tell her what she looks like, you’ll look at her strangely.
She couldn’t help but explain her imagination of Elza.
“Pi, pink hair… I don’t want to talk about my heart.”
It’s not that I don’t want to say anything, I haven’t thought about it.
And if you really have a girlfriend, isn’t it rude to mention the size of your breasts when someone asks you about your girlfriend?
“I’m a girl. You can tell me, Chis.”
But Russ kept asking.
Under. She sighed.
See, I’ll keep asking anyway.
“It’s just fine. Okay?”
“What about the eyes?”
My heart is pounding with pressure.
Even if I don’t want to say it, I can’t help it.
“It’s pink eyes.”
“How tall are you?”
“Haha, Russ, what montage are you drawing?”
I told him to stop and said it was a joke, but Russ looked at me with deep black eyes.
And she asks, ignoring my words.
“How tall are you?”
“…He’s only a head taller.”
Russ nodded at her, and she muttered something of her own again.
“…Pink hair, pink eyes, moderate breasts, moderate height… El Zain.”
Although it didn’t sound right.
Bien shoots ticks from the side.
“Pi, they say girls with pink hair are lewd!”
“Ah, what are you talking about?”
“Is it real? How do you know he must have been messing around?”
“Bien.”
No. My Elsaine is not like that.
A person who is pure and only looks at me.
Add settings
“Elzain is not that kind of kid.”
Let’s be a little firm, huh! And shows the back of her head.
“… I heard it’s only been 2 weeks since we met.”
She said a word.
That’s right. According to the set-up, he’s someone I met two weeks ago, but I can’t figure out that.
With nothing to say, she just chose silence.
When she took her eyes off Vien, she saw Lily’s sister in front of her.
She seemed to be contemplating something of hers, tapping her fingers on her table.
I was doing that for no reason, so I was a little scared because I was stabbed.
“Stachis, you talked about it so briefly back then, but can you explain everything from when we met to how we ended up dating?”
Then she narrows her eyes.
“As Vien said, it’s only been ‘only’ two weeks since we met.”
Gulp.
I swallowed.
If so far you’ve been lying about your girlfriend’s basics,
Now it is a lie that puts that fictional character into reality.
If there is a part that does not mesh with reality in the slightest, the lie may be exposed.
You have to walk very carefully.
“So… That’s when she took Bien to her church and we met for the first time. Is there a big tree on the way to my house from church? Near it.”
Eyes are drawn to Bien. Vienne wiggled her fingers as if it was her fault.
“Who spoke to you first?”
Asked Russ.
I walked as she tried to answer, she looked into Russ’ eyes and thought of her one more time.
As Russ, who knows that my personality makes me less likely to talk to strangers, she might feel strange if I do.
… Just now, it was a bit dangerous.
When all these incongruities accumulate, the lies are exposed.
“Eh, Elsaine spoke first.”
“I’ve been thinking about it since before, but it seems like you’ve already gotten a little closer. Seeing that she says Elza, not Elza, Mr. She’s a sweetheart, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s only been seeing her for two weeks. Didn’t it take a long time for you to call me sister Lily?”
“Yes, Chis. I’ve been thinking about it for a while too. You didn’t talk to me until after half a year.”
“Yeah, yes! I also let go after drinking with you!”
As if the three were united, they tackled the name.
I thought about it once in my head. Is it weird or not
It’s rather a lover, but it was more strange to me to attach seeds.
“I’m a lover, so I need to talk comfortably.”
“Huh!”
“…Tooth.”
Vienne and Russ get rowdy.
Lily noona speaks like a curse.
“So?”
“Yes?”
“You have to keep talking. That bitch – no. Is she talking to her first?”
“We talked to each other first… So we became close. But the next day after taking Russ over, it was nice to see him again, so we just talked.”
This time, the eyes are on Russ. Every time they appear in my story, attention is drawn to them.
Everyone did, so I followed Russ.
Then, as the silence grew longer, his eyes returned to me.
Oh I said.
“And after that, and after that, we kept meeting by chance, so we kept getting closer.”
“Chiss, isn’t it a bit strange?”
“Uh?”
My heart was pounding.
“How do you get us there and see you every day? It’s too much to be a coincidence.”
Okay. Now is the time to pay the price for telling lies.
Even if I think about it, this is a coincidence that makes no sense.
“That… That’s why I said it then. Could it be fate…? Ha ha.”
“You might think so, but I’m kind of weird.”
“… Okay?”
Know. I’m weird too
“Rather than fate, are you… Not being stalked?”
My head froze for a while.
Why is someone stalking me what I have
It’s all my fault My fault for lying.
“Chis, he did it to cheat you. Strange.”
“That’s right, Staches. I’m a little embarrassed too.”
“Break up. Starches.”
Three of them worry about me
I thought I met a strange person, so I must have been in a bad mood.
I was just a bit cautious when I said it openly, so I noticed it.
But everyone was so worried, but I was just sorry.
Because the three of them were angry with my imagination.
This is why you shouldn’t lie.
Because things that stabbed my conscience like this happen one after another.
Still can’t stop
To grow the party, I need to take care of my body through rest.
“Ahaha, was that what you were worrying about? No. Are you okay. I know that I have met you.”
“Chis, you might think that because you’re… Covered with bean pods, but it’s not the way I see it.”
“Thanks for your concern, Russ.”
She bit her lip
He kept lying to get off topic.
“Anyway, then, why. You mean you stayed up all night when you met Vien or Russ, so you didn’t see Elsaine? Then, the day before she went to the dungeon, when she went to the agency, she met again and confessed.”
“… So suddenly? Is this really weird? Wasn’t there some ulterior motive after all?”
But other than that time, there is no moment when I could receive a confession.
Rolled her head to attach a reason.
“…I knew it because I hadn’t seen him in a few days. Because I wasn’t there, I felt my preciousness.”
The three flinch loudly.
All three together make my heart flutter.
Why why. What.
“S, Starchis. Yes what do you like? What do you know in two weeks?”
Bien asked.
It was a question that made me feel a bit embarrassed to answer.
What would my imaginary girlfriend like? At the end of the day, she has to say my good points.
Face? The face is not dissatisfied with itself, but it is not a face that can attract anyone.
Character? You’re lying like this and deceiving the party members.
Then the body?
“That… Body is nice…?”
Bien jumped up from her seat.
“Hey!! That’s a complete lewd whore!!”
“Bien!”
Startled by her wild swearing her, she called her name her.
But she said, Oops, and sat down and exclaimed! She poured and turned her head.
“…A kid with a plan…”
For some reason, it was Bien with strong emotions.
She calls Elzain a slut, but her conscience her stings again and again before she gets angry.
Elzain is still a fictional character…
It was still difficult for her to get mad at the real Bien because of her fictional character.
Maybe it’s because she feels that Bienne is my colleague, but Elsain hasn’t been settled in my heart yet.
I just decided to calm her down.
What can I say… Ah.
She said, “That’s right, Bien, maybe it’s because you cut my hair before the confession, so I complimented you on how well it suits you. Thank you.”
The sharp gaze was this time on Bien.
“…Ah.”
But at my praise, Vienne suddenly stumbled and tried to fall off her chair.
“Uh, be careful, Vien.”
Caught her by both shoulders of her falling bien.
Her body was shaking.
Before she can question herself, words come from in front of her.
“Chis, Bien looks fine now. Let go.”
“Ah, yes.”
She continued what she was saying over her shoulder her.
“Anyway, I was confessed like that because of this and that.”
“… Do you accept that? What do you know about the opponent! I know you better than Elsaine or what!”
Her stumbling bien raised her voice again.
“Well, because she had no reason not to take it.”
“There was no reason to accept it, Starchis. Shouldn’t we be a little more careful?”
“Nuna, as you all know, I’ve been single all my life. I also need to meet someone.”
Tutu tu tuk
The table started to shake.
Suddenly, I felt the pressure again.
The hairs on her body her rose on their own.
Lily asked, looking at me with her fiery red eyes.
It was a slightly hushed voice.
“…Then… If she confessed to anyone, would she have accepted it?”
That’s not it.
I can’t accept that anyone confesses to my view of pure love.
But once in a while, I have to hide my true feelings.
Because we have to give legitimacy to dating in two weeks.
“Perhaps?”
