64.2 Kushida-san, this is all your fault!

That's it.

This is actually the case.

By the way, Ichinose-san, you wanted to find him, and then you clicked on the GPS and found that he was here.

"…Oreki 

"..." Ichinose. "Now that you have seen it,"

"Then can you give me a psychological consultation?"

"Actually, I feel very complicated right now. I don't know if rejecting Chio-chan directly is the right solution," she said.

And this also explains why Ichinose discovered him.

She really... wanted to consult with him.

Or, she had been serious before the two of them, and she really wanted to treat him as a learning partner.

Do you actually need to consult him about this kind of thing?

besides.

Why do the girls around me talk about psychological counseling issues?

Do you have something in your heart?

Oreki-san's mood is not stable.

But I also know that Ichinose probably wants two things.

One is that Chihiro confessed to her, as a girl confessed to a girl. This kind of thing cannot be spread. If it spreads, it is hard for Ichinose to say, but it will definitely affect Chihiro.

So Ichinose probably wants to protect Chihiro-san.

"I won't tell anyone," Oreki said.

Then he saw Ichinose's expression, which seemed to be relieved.

then.

"The sun can keep everyone warm," Oreki said. "But some people will feel that this is their own light."

"Ichinose-san, this is probably Chihiro-san's misunderstanding."

"And it's not your fault," he said.

"Yes, is that so?" Ichinose-san seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Maybe she didn't expect Oreki-san to be so understanding.

"I feel like my mood has relaxed," Ichinose said. 

"Chihiro is the type who is relatively weak and seems to be accustomed to relying on others. I am also wondering if I have made her misunderstand me."

And does that mean your mood has calmed down?

"Also, Chio-chan's full name is Shiranami Chihiro? and Oreki-san, you directly call her Chihiro-chan; could it be that you like Chio-chan?" Ichinose said.

"No, no." However, Oreki quickly refused.

"I already have a future date. In the future."

"And then maybe a future marriage partner. Also in the future."

"..."

Oreki's statement was a bit strange, but Ichinose was a tolerant person, so she nodded lightly.

She thinks Oreki-san probably has something to hide.

...

Because they encountered embarrassing things, Ichinose and Oreki-san did not stay at the railing any longer.

The two arrived at the shopping street together and then separated.

And Ichinose is also very strong.

By the time they reached the shopping street, the mood was over.

It's not that she felt restrained or sad, but that finally it's over.

And this is something that Kushida-san probably cannot compare to.

Then, when he returned to his home that night and went to sleep, Oreki-san found that he had a dream related to Ichinose-san.

But it's just an ordinary dream.

Because he was dreaming about Ichinose-san being confessed to by Chihiro Shiranami.

At this time, Ichinose-san was not that strong, which meant that her emotions did not adjust immediately.

She rejected Chihiro and then hesitated or said she didn't want to hurt her.

At the same time, she felt troubled and lacked self-confidence.

because.

"I told her that we would be friends like before tomorrow. But... I don't know if I can do it." She slumped her shoulders.

It seems she knows it too.

This means that once some emotions are revealed, even some actions, you will look at them with colored eyes.

For example, girls can hold hands, but what if they find that the other person likes you? So is this hand-holding still a normal hand-holding?

"This depends on you." Oreki in the dream answered like this, "If you are not confident, then you can take a test."

"Test?" Ichinose raised her lowered cheeks.

But Oreki-san immediately held her hand. "Look, if you can feel calm when shaking hands with the opposite sex like this, then you and Chihiro-san can also regain their calm mood."

So you just held her hand?

So can she feel peace in her heart?

no.

Ichinose felt that her heartbeat would only speed up.

because.

Any girl will feel her heart beat faster when a boy holds her hand, whether she likes it or not.

"Oreki-kun is such a bad person."

Ichinose took back her hand.

"But your mood has calmed down a little, right?"

Oreki-san said.

Only then did Ichinose realize that it was just a joke.?

It was a way to calm her down.

But she gently raised her hand and looked at Oreki-san's calm profile. She still felt that her heartbeat had not calmed down, and it always felt like it was not a joke.

"Well--"

At this time, all the scenes had completely disappeared.

Oreki Houtaro opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling in his home.

He looked around and felt that his feet were a little heavy, and then quickly discovered that his cat ran to the bed and lay on the quilt.

He didn't let it under the quilt before, but it still ran up.

And this also made Oreki Houtarou understand that he had just been dreaming.

but.

In dreams, is he so brave?

because.

He actually met girls in his dreams. Still proactive.

This was something he hadn't thought about.

Dreams are projections of things that matter to you.

In other words, is he actually looking forward to contacting girls?

Horikita-san is like this, and Ichinose-san is like this too. Or is he unable to resist cute girls?

Well.

Why is this so?

Obviously, he wouldn't think about this when he was in elementary school or junior high school. And the only contact he had with girls after entering high school——

Oreki thought of Kushida-san, who had short blond hair and looked like a little angel.

yes.

And this may be Kushida-san's fault.

Growing up, he had only been held by his older sister, and then his hand was held by Kushida-san.

As a result, in the dream, he actually wanted to hold hands with Ichinose-san.

"Oreki."

He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. "You're not that kind of person."

"Kushida-san, this is your fault."

Um.

Charging is complete.

...

So he calmed down after soothing himself. When he went to sleep again, he found that he no longer had dreams related to girls.

in this way.

Time seems to be fully restored.

But on June 1st, there are new changes.
