There is No Problem with the Youth Under the Snow

"This time, I will entrust it to you when I travel in the future."

After that, she politely bid farewell from the office.

.................................................. ...

Yukinoshita didn't respond, instead, there was a moment of silence.

She couldn't help looking up into Eina's eyes and said slowly.

"So you want me to help?"

Yukinoshita had correctly captured the intention of Eina's move.

And, that's why she came to the ministry to entrust her.

But understanding doesn't mean you've come up with countermeasures.At least, not now.

After hearing Yukinoshita's words, Ebina's eyes hidden under the mirror showed a hint of surprise.

But she still nodded her head.

"That's right."

"That's why I came to find you, Yukinoshita-san."

"Complete the previous 'delegation'."

She places emphasis on the word commission.

"What do I need to do?"

Without any questions, Yukinoshita just kept asking.

"acting."

The voice of Eina-san, who announced this, lingered heavily in his ears.

................................................................

Time soon came to night.

After the lantern has been lit, the entire bamboo forest also emits an exceptionally clear brilliance.

Tobe was dangling anxiously.

"Ah, ah, it's not good, it's too nervous, it's not good."

Hayama, who had been silent the whole time, stood up slowly.

"...Hey, Tobu"

"What? Hayato-kun, I'm super nervous right now!"

"No, nothing happened..."

The vague conversation between the two began to remain on the surface.

"What?"

The Ministry of Household complained dissatisfiedly.

"I wanted to cheer you on, but when I saw your face, I was too lazy to say it."

"That's too much!! Ah, but I don't know why I don't feel nervous anymore!"

Hayama turned around as if he didn't want Tobu to see his melancholy expression.

He walked away from Tobu, who was in high spirits, and came to a corner where no one was around.

He took a deep breath and looked at the radiant bamboo forest.

"I feel like I'm getting in the way."

The right answer to the fact that you didn't choose to help your friends.

Perhaps only he himself understood why.

A rare wry smile appeared on Hayama's face.

He suddenly started talking to himself, as if he was talking to others.

"I obviously like it the way it is now."

"Whether Tobu, Ji Cai, and everyone's time together, I like them very much."

"I've said countless times to let him give up."

"I don't think the current Tobe can open Hime's heart."

"If he does, I don't know what the future holds. So, I don't want that guy to be so rushed to a conclusion."

"so."

Hayama was planning to continue talking.

"...So you're scared now, aren't you?"

A cold voice came from behind him.
