he best.”
“Really? Do you like my boobs that much?”
Kiriha happily hugged Miya and poked her pudgy cheeks with her fingers.
While I was relaxing at the sight of their friendship, Miina said,
“”By the way, Maiko-san, did you call Maya by her first name?”
“Eh, no…….”
When Maiko started to panic, Maria interrupted.
“Maiko-san talks to me and Maya-san rather frankly.”
“Fuya! Maria!”
As if interrupting Maiko’s words, Maria blurted out.
“But this does not mean that there is a wall between her and all of you.
Unlike us, who are in the same police squad, when she is with you guys, it is almost always when Honey-san is also in the group.
So, if she calls you all by your first name, she has to call him by his first name as well.
It’s a manifestation of her girlishness that she is embarrassed to address a boy of her own age.
In other words, Maiko-san has a high level of maidenliness.”
As soon as she said it, Maria gave a thumbs up to Maiko.
Her expressionless face seemed to be the same expressionless face as usual, but there was a definite sense of accomplishment in her eyes.
Koimai’s face was red with tears in her eyes.
“Idiot Maria……”
Then Miina tilted her head.
“But Koimai-san calls him Honey-kun, right? I don’t think she used his name in the first place.”
“Huh? Uh, then…Honey? But that sounds like he’s my boyfriend, so Ikuo.
I’m not going to call him by his first name now, and if I call him by his first name, it sounds like he’s my boyfriend, and I’d rather have a chance to call him legally…….”
Koimai was depressed and went into a mumbling meditation.
“I think Maiko is definitely the type of person who will have a hard time in the future.”
“I think she’s the type that already has a hard time…….”
“I guess so.”
I finished my juice and put the empty can on the table, and Kiriha stood up with Maya in her arms.
“Let me throw it away.”
“Oh, my bad.”
After setting Maya down on the floor, Kiriha walked to the trash can next to the vending machine, carrying as many empty cans as she could carry for me, herself, and everyone else.
It was a lot for one person to carry for seven people, so Maya helped her with the ones she couldn’t carry.
Although their hair colors were different, they looked like close sisters.
“Kiriha-san has changed, hasn’t she?”
“Yeah.
At first, she was the type who didn’t want to get close to anyone but me.
But isn’t that true for Miina, too?”
“Me?”
I nodded.
“I’m sorry if I’ve got this wrong, but I kind of feel like you’re saying things more clearly now than you used to.”
That said, I never had a deep relationship with Miina, to begin with.
So that was probably just me overthinking things.
But Miina fell silent and looked at me a little.
Then she opened her mouth as if she had decided to talk, but with a radiant look on her face.
“I’m sure it’s because I’ve stopped being so beautiful on all sides.” (+)
The air in the room was hushed by this rather bombshell statement.
“I don’t know if this is something I should go out of my way to tell you, but the truth is, I am an adopted child.”
I was at a loss for a response to the heavy words that followed.
But as if out of consideration for me, Miina began to speak matter-of-factly.
“My parents couldn’t have children, so they adopted me.
But soon after, when I was eight years old, they had a real child, and there was no place for me at home.
So I didn’t want to lose my place at school, so I tried to say and do things that would make everyone like me.
But, you know, I’m done with that.”
Exhaling heavily, Miina leaned her weight against the back of her chair and said.
“Because this is where I belong.”
Miina said with a soft smile.
“Everyone doesn’t expect me to be selfish, they don’t get mad when I don’t say what they want me to say.
They don’t coerce me, attack me, or try to take advantage of me.
With you all around, I don’t need to fit in at school.”
