Millefeuille and Chocolat looked at each other.
　There's only one answer, right?　And he seems to confirm it with a glance.

'I affirm if Chiffon wishes it.'

　Millefeuille and Chocolat say with their mouths agape.
　After receiving such an answer from the two, Iris thinks for a while and asks again with one eyebrow furrowed.

What do you mean by that?　I don't quite understand it, and if you don't mind, could you elaborate on it for me?
I mean, it's not that hard to understand.
'It's simple. If Chiffon wants to dream, we want it too. That's it.

Not exactly.
I mean, there's no rule or mandate that says, "Because Chiffon did this, we have to do this, too.
'We just want to give Chiffon what he wants. So we're affirming that we dream.

　Iris gets an increasingly difficult look on her face as the millefeuille and chocolates are explained to her.
　She looks as if she was told to solve a very difficult problem.

　I don't understand the two of them.
　But for now, let's listen to them some more.
　We continue talking like that.

''Well, I mean ... since Chiffon-san wants you to dream, you guys are in favor of it. Is that what you mean?''
'Well ... right?　Simple answer, right?
'Huh ... why would you do that?　It seems to me that there is no initiative on your part there...
'No, it's not. We always act for Chiffon's sake. What Chiffon wants it's what we want.
How did you come to such an answer...
Because....

　Millefeuille and Chocolat looked at each other once.
　A small nod and.....
　I say in a voice.

'We're friends,'
....
Mirfeuille is not only my friend, but also my dearest friend. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we are best friends who are connected by soul.
We want to do something for them. If they want it, we want to give it to them. It's a natural thing to do.
'You may not understand what you've been called the devil! But that's what human beings are like! They follow their emotions without regard to gain or loss.
Chiffon has been hurt a lot. I've cried a lot. So it's okay to take a little break. She has no right to complain.

　I see........and Iris understood their arguments.
　

　How foolish it was to be driven by emotion.
　To be incapable of acting intelligently is nothing short of calling me an idiot.
　........I would have come to such a conclusion before.

　However, Iris is different now.
　People can be driven by emotions....
　Sometimes we act irrationally.
　People's emotions, love, friendship ... and compassion for others in our hearts.
　That's what I learned from my encounter with Rain.

　But.
　I dare say.

Are you an idiot?
Wha...?

　Having their arguments cut to pieces, Millefeuille and Chocolat pulled a face.
　In contrast, Iris was only calmly........but showed a slight irritation.

''For the sake of our friends?　For a friend?　Did you accept your dreams for that reason?　What can I say ... it's still just a stupid word.
Are you trying to pick a fight?

　Chocolat glares at Iris, oozing with anger.

　Iris's words deny the feelings of Chocolat and the others.
　It's like saying that friendship is also a sham.

　There is no way I can allow such a thing.
　Although Chocolat is usually laid back, but........
　Only this time, he released his rage like a fierce fire and stared hard and fast at Iris.

''The word we are idiots........what did you mean by that?　Can you tell me more about that part of the story?　As the case may be I won't allow it.

　The millefeuille was also showing strong anger.
　Its power far surpassed that of the raptors, and if there was an opening, it was ready to eat their throats.

　Even though she received the anger of such two people, Iris kept a cool face.
　Even so, she did not erase her feelings of dismay........
　But the dialogue seems to continue, and he slowly admonishes her, like a teacher teaching a poorly made student.

'I didn't mean to call you stupid for your friendship. Well, I didn't mean to call you stupid for your friendship, and I apologize for that.
What do you mean by that?
You're fools yourselves, I said so.
Are you trying to pick a fight?

　To the two men who wore swordsmen's expressions, Iris did not lose her stance of being dumbfounded.

'For my friend's sake, for my friend's happiness. 'No thanks about it. I think it's a wonderful thing. It's all well and good, but you have given up thinking for yourselves. You think for your friends, and then you stop and don't think beyond that. What if you keep on dreaming, so that you may be severely handicapped?
It's...
'Isn't it important to have your own thoughts, properly, until the end, rather than abandoning your thoughts?

　There seemed to be something in Iris' words that made Millefeuille and Chocolat flinch slightly.
　However, that's not enough to cancel out their beliefs, they said with a strong tone of voice.

''........Still, I want to make what Chiffon wants come true!

So?
'Are you positive about dreaming, Millefeuille and Chocolat yourself?　Or is it negative?
It's the chiffon...
'So forget about Mr. Chiffon for once. This is a hypothetical. If Mr. Chiffon wasn't there, what would you think about dreaming?
I don't think that's a good idea.

　After a little hesitation, Millefeuille spun the words to deny the dream.
　Chocolat nodded, as if to follow suit.

'Dreaming is a blessing. But, after all, it's only an escape from reality. I don't think it's good.''
'But you don't know this, but Chiffon has been hurt a lot! Isn't it your friend who wants to heal that heart?
'Isn't it because we're friends that we need to stop making mistakes?
?

　Iris's words stabbed deep into their hearts.

'You guys think it's bad to dream, don't you?　Then you should stop Mr. Chiffon. Even if Chiffon-san wants to dream, even if she cries out, she should definitely stop it.
No, it's not...
No, but...

　Millefeuille and Chocolat showed their hesitation on their faces, as they couldn't strongly deny Iris' words.
　To those two people, Iris blurted out more words.
　With the experiences he has gained, with the feelings he has gained.
　She speaks her own words.

I don't just coddle them, but sometimes I'm hard on them. Even if you have to fight against them, you have to think about them and put your beliefs to the test... what you think is right. Isn't that what it means to truly care about the other side?

　I'm sure you've been thinking about the past while putting your hand on your chest and saying that.

　Yes.........Rain was always thinking of me.
　She melted my frozen heart with her warm smile.
　And when I did something wrong, he did his best to stop me.

　Even if we had to fight against them.
　Even if it meant fighting.

　Isn't that what it means to truly care about someone?
　Just like Rain did for me....

　Because she has come to think that way, Iris can't affirm the thoughts of Millefeuille and Chocolat.
　She would absolutely deny that thought.

I have learned that lesson. Miss Lane taught me that. Therefore, I will do as I please. You, on the other hand, only indulge Chiffon instead of following your own beliefs. Are you really sure that this is the right thing to do?

　Millefeuille and Chocolat were unable to say anything.
　They were greatly disturbed and didn't know what to do.

　I'm not sure what to do.

You will be able to find out what you should really do now, Millefeuille and Chocolat.　Can you think about it again?　And if you're going to fight me on top of that, then I'll do my best to deal with you.
