Baby, You're a Baby

"Aili."

"I sincerely hope you won't regret it," she said.

Sakura Airi: "..."

Yes, I won't regret it.

Sakura Airi, who cannot survive alone, will not regret becoming a social creature.

Chapter 163 Baby, you are a baby

Although she said something like "That's fine then" which seemed like she didn't care, Kushida Kikyo still took the initiative to satisfy Sakura Airi's curiosity and explained a few things she could talk about.

For example, the mother and mother are not actually lacking maternal love, but are just playing around. For example, their relationship is not that of boyfriend and girlfriend, but also not that of mother and son. For example, the Angel named Kushida Kikyo actually has a side of desires just like a human.

... although the more you explain, the worse things get.

In short, although, the matter of Sakura Airi has come to an end.

As night fell, both Kushida Kikyo and Asakusa Toru had to return to their respective dormitories.

So, once again, Sakura Airi's dormitory was left with only her.

"..."

My breathing was very even, and the wind was blowing whistling outside the window.

Sakura Airi sat on the edge of the bed, when suddenly an idea struck her.

How do I usually spend my time when I'm alone?

She only had it briefly, possessed it briefly, but this real feeling of 'gaining from others' made her feel as if she had been separated from her past self all of a sudden.

That's why she had that illusion the moment the show ended.

Will they become complete strangers again tomorrow, after I wake up?

This is a habitual worry that has been nagging at Sakura Airi for over a decade.

On ordinary days, she would lie in bed alone, wrapped in a blanket, holding her small phone, repeatedly refreshing her blog.

New responses, new feedback, new comments, new followers, new likes, new interactions.

These are the driving forces that allow her to continue living.

... Of course, that happened before I enrolled in school.

Since starting school, she has gradually changed this 'bad habit'.

Because feedback on blogs isn't always positive.

Do you believe in fate? I do. From now on, we'll be together forever.

"I've always felt that we're very close."

You're even cuter today!

Did you notice us making eye contact? I did.

Like a stalker appearing across the internet, these are messages from the same person.

Disgusting, and gradually getting worse, these are words that are frightening to look at.

This was the direct reason she changed her bad habits.

So right now, she doesn't really know what she'll do.

Reading?

I couldn't bear to watch; she simply didn't have the talent for studying.

Chat?

She has no friends, and can't even gossip with anyone.

His only hobby, photography, is difficult to pursue for various reasons, and coupled with a lack of funds, he seems to be unable to do anything but sit idly by.

But things will be different starting today.

She has one more thing she can do.

The cold, smooth, and hard feel of the metal brought a heavy weight to my palm.

The small yet substantial Voice Recorder lay quietly in her hand.

This is a parting gift from someone.

Record the sounds you like, and the sounds around you on a daily basis.

"Anything is fine, just like your camera, capture what should have vanished with the wind, and preserve it."

That's what he said.

Therefore, Sakura Airi made the same request.

"... Could you say 'I love you' a few more times?"

She turned on the Voice Recorder and made this request.

The brief silence didn't signify rejection, but rather surprise; the girl could sense it, she could perceive it.

The girl could hear it.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you."

"I love you."

He could continue repeating it, but Sakura Airi felt that even if these words were repeated again and again without losing any weight, repeating them too much would eventually give people the illusion that 'it's cheap'.

She doesn't like it this way.

So she held out her hand to indicate that it was enough, and then gently pressed the end recording button.

Three sentences are enough.

Three sentences were enough for her to turn the recording back on now, alone, and listen to the words of love that the machine had copied and temporarily stored on the electronic device.

One sentence, two sentences, three sentences.

Recording has ended; playback has stopped.

"..."

The wind howled, Sakura Airi pressed the replay button once again.

Dormitory.

I'm in a great mood today.

He enjoyed his mother's doting love and formed a relationship with Sakura Airi that could never be reversed.

Asakusa Toru decided to put his mind to it and diligently write in his diary.

He certainly hadn't forgotten that he had a Diary, but he couldn't think of anything to write about for the time being.

If we're talking about what might happen this June, based on the original plan...

Oh, the design of Ryuen triggered the Sudo violence incident, Sakura Airi encountered a stalker fan.

That's about it, just these two.

After those two are over, it's time for the much-anticipated Uninhabited Island.

Based on his current understanding of Class D, a violent incident is unlikely to occur.

To be honest, he hadn't had much trouble understanding the logic behind Ryuen's focus on Class D.

From the perspective of class competition, Ryuen, which is ranked in Class C, does need to keep a close eye on Class D to prevent itself from being overtaken and suppressed.

But Class D got 0 points!

Is Ryuen Kakeru really not afraid of getting them another 0 points? Is Class D going to just blew them away?

If you were to say that their homeroom teacher was Hoshinomiya Chie, Asakusa Toru could understand it. After all, Hoshinomiya isn't a normal person, and it's not incomprehensible that she would be willing to pay some price to let the students trample Class D to death.

But that's not it, which is why Asakusa Toru found it puzzling.

Moreover, although the Advanced Nurturing has a class ranking, apart from Class A which clearly enjoys graduation privileges, Classes B, C, and D are essentially the same except for their names.

If we really had to say, targeting Class A would have been the most correct strategy.

Therefore, the latter is what truly needs to be considered.

We need to find a way to smash that stalker to pieces.

Oh right, there's one more thing, an interlude between these two events.

It seems that their class mascot, Shiranami Chihiro, confessed her feelings to Ichinose Honami during this period.

--I'll just write this.

The moment the thought arose, Asakusa Toru made his decision.

There's been too much writing about the Little Princess and the Kikyo, while my own class and Ryuen class have written too little.

While the fact that the original story's main setting was Class D meant that other Class D had far fewer God-man, resulting in less material to write about, it was also partly due to my own excessive favoritism towards Class D.

Let's pamper Shiranami first today.

As for whether it's inappropriate to write about Shiranami in a diary...

Haha, including that time he left a comment, he's messed with Little Kikyo several times already, and now their relationship is still like this, isn't it?

What's wrong with a confession that's destined to fail?

A female contact list is a problem, it needs treatment!

Having made up his mind, Asakusa Toru pulled out his Diary.

[After calculating the time, it seems the day is approaching.]

Don't get me wrong, it's not Special Exam.

This school hasn't yet subjected its students to the insane level of intensive, breathless Special Exam.

After all, what schools want are mature, mass-produced products, not 'masterpieces' that are subjected to repeated stress tests and still don't know when to stop.

As for when the next Special Exam will be...

Haha, of course it's the day when the sun is at its highest point.

Let's talk about the Special Exam later. The day I'm talking about is a good day to confess my feelings.

Two whole months have passed since the start of the semester. I'm sure everyone has built up their basic interpersonal relationships during these two months, right?

They exchange contact information, become friends, forge a contract, and establish a relationship that can never be reversed.

That's great.

Unlike me, who only has a soft, fragrant, and adorable girlfriend in my arms.

Although I didn't actually do anything extra, thinking about it carefully, writing a diary is already quite unnecessary.

I already upset my Little Princess so much that she couldn't even hold onto her spot in Class A and was trampled underfoot by others, leaving her to cry pitifully in Class B.

I should repent.

I did pay too much attention to the Little Princess and her Little Sister-chan.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Class D is a hotbed of flawed products, and naturally has the most areas to highlight.

Even now, there are still a lot of people who haven't finished complaining about the dishes I mentioned earlier.

But let's not talk about Class D for now.

I want to share my love equally with everyone.

We've already talked to the Little Princess many times, so we'll let you off the hook this time!

As for Dragon Boy's a bit too humorous, which is kind of boring. But the NPCs are great, I really like them. I'll talk to you guys about NPCs next time.

I still have to find something for Class B... oh, Class A now.
