Actually, I liked comets too.

Actually, I liked comets, too.

Actually, I liked comets, too.

Actually, I liked comets, too.

In fact--



Hakuna's voice reverberates like a bell ringing on a New Year's Eve.

Actually, I--

I hear an auditory hallucination in the silent hallway.
I'm not on drugs, by the way.

I'm a ghost through and through. I manage to hold myself together in a hazy state of consciousness. The only thing I could hear clearly was Shirana's voice.

--I loved her.

The unexpected turn of events was unnerving at first. Shirana ran away and I was left with a warm feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was still feeling a rage inside of me, an emotion that is hard to describe, both happy and ashamed.

I had no answer. I froze as if someone had closed my mouth.

We arrived at the rose garden in a flash.
To be honest, I'm not sure I can keep my composure in front of Alina. I had never thought that Shirana was in love with me.
Was it a flag or an omen that Alina had planted so many flowers in the rose garden? If so, I will praise her as a goddess. I can't give you money every day, but I can at least give you seaweed. I'm going to get punched in the face.

I open the door and a rose garden covered in flowers fills my field of vision. A strange sense of security envelops me. It's like home.

In the center of my vision is Alina, wearing only her top half bra.
The first thing I do when I get home from helping out with the tennis team is to get dressed. It's embarrassing for us non-athletes to return home in the school's gym clothes. Changing into uniform is an inevitable act. I came back to change. There's nothing wrong with that.

There was no light in Alina's eyes.
They remind me of something out of a zombie movie. The Walking Alina. Alina Hazard.

She turned to me in her bra. Her style was so good my brain plasma evaporated. I was stunned, yes. I'll buy her photo book when it comes out.
But now I was in hyper trance mode, in a trance-like state of mind that transcended dimensions, so I had no desire to do so.

I am sure that Alina would see a pervert who is carefully examining his body with a serious expression on his face. Who is it? It's me. It's definitely Comet Sakakimagi.

She walked slowly. The sound of her loafer echoed pleasantly. Alina's breasts swayed rhythmically.

Actually, I'm a comet, too.

Shirana. How long have you known about me?
Ignorance is a sin. I don't know.

Alina's breasts are close to mine... or she's close to mine. Everything feels slow. I can feel every movement of her paper.
I make a fist. This is bad.

--I loved it.

What the hell am I going to look like tomorrow when I see Shirana?
Alina. What does a man look like in your eyes? The face of an enlightened and enlightened man, don't you think? A man who could be beneficial to mankind?
That's the man you're about to hit.
Alina pulled her elbow back and made a pause. She grunts at the sight of his chest, which is changing shape as his muscles pull. I'm such a pervert, I thought. Nice tits.

Actually, I liked comets too.

I don't have an answer.
There was only the ignorant and stupid Comet Sakakiki.


The world shook.

To be precise, my vision was shaken.
I caught Alina's fist squarely in my face. If I can do something like a frame-by-frame x-ray, I'll try it with my brain. It would be a hell of a thing. Remember the scene at the end of Sazae-san when they rush into the house? That's what's happening inside my skull.

The air flipped and I fell down. My temples ache, my ears are buzzing with danger signals. It's just a ringing in my ears.
I fall to the floor. I feel the coldness of the floor on my cheeks.
I look at the rose garden. This space with all the flowers looks like heaven. Is this death?
God seems to have taken pity on me, and gives me one last spectacular view.
Alina, who had finished beating me, continued to change her clothes as if she had lost interest in me. I never thought I would see panties.
So I don't exist in Alina's mind anymore. That's why she doesn't kick me out. Being invisible is not so bad.

Soon I was on my knees.
Alina had lined up cutters, screwdrivers, staplers, hammers, pliers, irons, and all sorts of other out-of-place items on my desk. If I hadn't apologized, I would have gone through a hell I don't even want to imagine.
Thank God. There is still God.





I forgive you for opening the wrong door. I didn't lock the door either.


'I'm sorry, Alina-sama.'
'Like isn't as bad as it sounds.'
'Please put the saw away. You'll die.'
'That's fine. You seem to have lost your mind. It's not like I'm dead.
'I've been through a lot.
'Tell me about it. I'll abuse you a lot.

I stated simply, sitting bolt upright.

'Shirana liked me.
''Hmm.''
'You're not responding well. ......'
'You can almost always tell. So when I heard you two were going to be alone, I made the best of it. I guess we were going for something else.
'A woman's intuition, huh?'
You don't have to be a woman to know that. So what about you?
What do you mean?
I mean do you like Shirana? What do you mean?
I've never had romantic feelings for Shirana. That's why I was so surprised. And I said I liked her on the spur of the moment, even though I didn't like her. ......'
'Yes? Explain the meaning of the latter half of the word.'
'I said something strong as a diversion to hide the relationship between you and me. He said that he likes Shirana. Then she told me that she liked me too.
'You're an a**h*le, you know that? I want to put you in an anaconda breeding case.
'Do that. I'll die happy.'
'Before you do that, you should clear the haze from Shirana's mind. I think you're making her upset and unstable.
'Yeah, I guess so. But I don't know what to do.
'Why don't you just carry on as usual? If you're not mistaken, neither of us is supposed to know what we're feeling right now.
What do you mean?'
'I liked it, I liked it. They're both in the past tense. It could be interpreted that their feelings are now going in different directions, or it could be made to look that way. Both of you don't want to make things awkward, so you should be able to force yourselves to agree. I used to like you, but not anymore. There is no problem at all if you are strongly aware of it and make it self-contained.
'I certainly think I can get through on words.'

Alina took a sip of water,

''So, back to me, is that junior going to continue to follow me around?''
'I don't know. I don't think he'll give up easily. First they will find out what happened to you. God knows what they'll do after that.
'It's a hassle. Maybe we should hire a hitman.
'At least use BB bullets.

We were both in a state of confusion.
We're clowns.
