Chapter 4

As Hime pulled her hair and raised the scissor. She looked to herself and took a deep breath.

*Snip*

She was in fright as half of her hair she had kept since childhood is now lying on the floor.She raised her drenched bangs with her left hand, grabbing the scissors and started hacking off her hair.

She started cutting her bangs but it turned out messy, lessening, and she could see her white forehead. Hime's eyebrows showed up right after.

the eyebrows always ended

up in a bridge, sloping down on its corners. She always had a complex about these eyebrows. They're not cute after all.

After finished cutting the bangs, the result went bad as she looked truly horrible, reaching the point she just wanted to look away from the mirror. To think that this is the ugliest and pathetic thing she has ever done .

She caught herself thinking. the furthest she could be from what is perfect,she wondered, would Anya answer be different if saw her like this?

If she confessed while looking this unsightly, what would her answer be? Would she accept her confession?

"I have to become imperfect."

She grabbed the scissors, her body filling with determination. Her long and black hair now till her tailbone was glued to her back right now. It was filled with femininity, and the hairstyle I personally preferred the most. And yet, she ran the scissors through them with no remorse.

*Snip..Snip...Snip*

The scissors in her hands danced to a rhythm. The now Hime was totally lost in mind in the mirror and had a gloomy look in her eyes, but she was smiling at least. It was such a contradicting expression. Perhaps this the best thing she could do to Anya to tell that she's not perfect and would start loving her again. She was totally lost when suddenly

"——Hime ?! What are you doing!"

As she looked over at the door in shock, spotting Anya rushing into the bathroom. The second she looked at my face, her expression tightened up. She must have been bewildered to see her looking like this.

"What are you doing here! Wait.. How did you get in here?"

" I tried knocking and wanted to apologize but you weren't answering my calls nor opening the door.So, I most myself by entering from your sliding door near the garden"

"Please leave me alone Anya! I finally realised that I'm not even perfect. From school days I was always perfect because of my parents and wanted to be free and wanted to have friends and love eachother but as I see it I'm still perfect in people's eyes. So kindly leave me alone"

*Slap*

Anya gave a slap so hard to Hime and she was shocked as she came back to her senses. She could see hair all over the floor and the sick and was sitting infront of Anya

"An..Anya-san?"

"Baka...

Baka.., just because I rejected you doesn't mean that I left you, we still can be friends like how we used to"

"But.. I don't know what to say.. I have totally ruinrf my image '

"It's okay, Hime . No matter what happened, I'm here for you."

Receiving such gentle and warm words, she couldn't keep my emotions contained anymore. Everything inside of my chest came gushing out.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry ..."

Anya listened to her words and hugged and embrace her with a glass of water.

"I'm sorry Anya for everything, I was so stupid doing a thing like that"

"Yesz you're stupid, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world."

Surrounded by genuine love from Anya, Hime subconsciously dropped the scissors from her right hand.

"Anya I'm sorry...!"

She jumped into her arms and cried endless tears while Anya hugged her.

"There there, no look at the mess you're done, haven't you cut your hair before"

Hime shakes her head as she told that she last cut when she was ten and her mother only asked the family barber to just cut the ends of her hair.

"Aish.... go freshen up, I'll set up your hair"

"What"

"Don't ask questions, now go" said Anya as she pushes her out of the bathroom

After getting out of the bath, Anya placed Hime in the chair and covered her with a sheet.She then slowly combs and splits the sections from Hime's hair.

"It's all mess up"

"I'm sorry"

" It's technically my fault, I don't know why you cut your hair, but this type of cut is messed up"

As Anya is finding out what to do with her hair.Hime then holds Anya's hand and shows a picture.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I want this"

"Sigh!.. whatever you say Ojou-sama"

She uses the spray and picks up the scissor. "All off"

Hime nods, "All Off"

*snip... Snip..snip... Snip*

Anya took care of her hair. She could see fragrants of her hair falling into the sheets. Her previously long hair now ended up in something resembling a bob cut, with straight-cut bangs. Her entire appearance changed so drastically she was unsure if she was even herself anymore. Anya thought it'll take a while for Hime to not get a heart attack when looking in the mirror, but as she showed her. She looked cute. Anya then directed her to the table and told her to rest her head on the wash basin as she washes Hime's hair. She was now beautiful as before than her floor length hair.

After that, Anya just left telling her to promise to come back to school which she agreed . After Anya's departure she changed into her casual clothes and fell down on and called her friend.The second she accepted the call, she heard an excited voice screaming into my ear.

『How did it go?!』

The person she was talking to is Subaru Alice. A friend from states who she first got to know her in the middle school and been good friends ever since then.

"I got rejected."

『...Seriously? Sorry.』

Her tone dropped drastically in an instant. "It's fine, don't worry about it."

『 I mean, I didn't expect him to say no! Damn that Tsuyoshi, I won't forgive him.』

"Now, now, calm down. I'm not giving up on Anya"

『Ah, really?』

"She rejected me because I was 'too perfect', but you know? As I was totally lost, it was like was broken that I cut my hair"

『You What!』

"It's okay, Anya came to check on me and was terrified and since she's practicing to be a hairdresser, she actually made me cute with short hair"

『Oh?』

"but I should have asked her why she rejected."

『 Basically, she's saying that you two aren't a good match.』

"That's why I want to stop being perfect."

『Hm? I dun get it.』

"I mean, if me being perfect is a nuisance, then I just have to change."

『Now let's calm down for a second, okay...』

It's very simple. If Home being perfect will get in the way of Anya accepting her , then she just have to start gathering flaws. she have to destroy her image of being perfect.

『 A more fundamental question... What will you do to stop being perfect?』

"Maybe a bit of acting will do the trick? If I play the role of a clumsy and playful girl who's bad at studying and not feminine at all..."

『 Being clumsy and playful, someone who's bad at studying and not feminine at all... Wait, that's the exact opposite of you! No way that will work!』

"But I don't have much time, I can't choose my methods."

『That... does make sense. How long do you have left?』

"About two months."

『 Two months... you know, you sound like a sick person diagnosed with a deadly illness.』

She wasn't completely wrong. Hime's love definitely had a life expectancy.

"That's why I'll do whatever it takes so that I can be with Fujiyama Anya!"

『I see. I guess that makes sense.』

"Thank you, Alice. I'll do my best."

She may have gotten rejected today, but She's still far from done. she'll use the last bit of time she have left, and become the type of person Fujiyama Anya would choose. Now that she've found out what to do, the pain and suffocation of being rejected subsided, and my heart felt lighter.

"Just you wait, Fujiyama Anya, you changed me, you gave me this gift, and I'll truly treasure this, so for in return, I'll show you I have really changed."

She says so as she goes to the net and checks out the videos and writes down the things. She rushes to the convenience store and comes home with bag full of things.

"Just you wait Anya, you will fall in love with me, I'll definitely change"
