Keita runs through the group of kids surrounding Kotori, takes her hand, and runs toward the school.
Lead by her hand, Kotori only saw the back of Keita who rescued her from her teasing.
「Wagame-kun...」
Seeing her caring and reliable in front of her, Kotori smiles and a tear of joy was shed.
Her hear begins to swell and a warm and fuzzy feeling begins to grow.
At that moment, she finally realizes it.
(Maybe... I do like Wagame-kun ...no... ...no. Keita... I like Keita.)
Arriving back at their classroom, Keita brings Kotori back to their seats. Before sitting down, Kotori surprises Keita with a hug and cries on his shoulder with tears of joy streaming down her cheek.
Their teacher found their two friendship cute and heartwarming and could only laugh in a teasing manner.
「Fufufu~ So that's how it is.」
Keita doesn't hug Kotori back but instead react to his teacher's reaction and put his hands up as if a gun was pointed towards him.
Kotori weeps and tightens her hug on Keita.
「Thank you so much... Kei-chan!」
