"In this case, didn't I ask nothing?"

"It's not something worth remembering in the first place. Let it be buried by time."

Kyoko Shiratori nodded as if she understood, then raised her hand and said, "Izumi-kun, I have one last question."

"What is it?"

"If you can't make friends, will you feel lonely?"

After hearing this, Izumi Toru was silent for a while.

Just when the girl thought he was still going to refuse to answer, he said in a low voice:

"...Only by loneliness can you go to the highest level. Without bonds, there is nothing to protect. In other words, there is no weakness. The aloof soul is the strongest. The so-called so-called loner is nothing more than this."

"But, Izumi-san, am I not your friend?" Shiratori Kyoko tilted her head and asked.

The expression on the young man's face froze.

"It's hard to be cool, but you ruined it all!"

"Hey?"

"Pit in."

"oh."

The two entered the station and waited for a while before the tram came slowly.

The rumbling sound gradually became louder.

"So, you feel lonely, which means you feel sad, right?"

"What did you say?"

As if he didn't hear the girl's question clearly, Izumi Toru turned his head and asked.

"No, nothing."

The girl shook her head and gave up asking further questions.

The tram started to move with the two of them on board.

"Izumi-kun."

"Um?"

"If you feel lonely, you can ask me to go out and play."

Turning around to look, Shiratori Kyoko was blinking and smiling sweetly.

After a long time, Izumi Tetsu couldn't hold it back and muttered:
Chapter completed!
