"Pervert! H! Lecher! Frustrated old hag!"
Inaba Tsukiyo angrily wiped her mouth and glared at Nia, who was kneeling on the ground with a sign around her neck that read "I Am Guilty," and said.
"Um... I'm very sorry, Tsukiyo-chan. I thought I was dreaming and couldn't help but do something like that. I'm really sorry."
"Oh? Is that so? Why do I feel like you've actually had this idea for a long time? You even had someone make a life-sized doll modeled after me. Can you explain what exactly you're trying to do?"
"Uh... this, ahaha~ Actually, there's a very deep reason behind it."
Nia laughed awkwardly, her eyes constantly darting around as she thought about how to resolve the current situation.
When Nia was about to do something even more outrageous, Inaba Tsukiyo slapped her across the face, sending her flying into the wall, making her completely sober up.
The moment she sobered up, she saw Inaba Tsukiyo, disheveled, pulling at her clothes, tears in her eyes, looking at her as if she had been bullied.
Knowing she had caused trouble, Nia accepted Inaba Tsukiyo's subsequent arrangements without any resistance. As she gradually recalled what she had said, Nia lowered her head, a little shy. (fuhai: My old face is red.)
As a shut-in, she didn't know how to express her feelings. It was too difficult for a shut-in like her to do something so normie.
Although her manga had male and female protagonists and so-called confession scenes, these were all plots she had borrowed and researched from other novels.
Nia knew that there was a shojo manga artist in the manga industry who seemed to be a rough and tough person. Although the psychological descriptions in her manga were very delicate, she herself was a burly person.
Even if she could describe a girl's psychology very well in manga, in reality, she might be someone who completely wouldn't consider other people's feelings.
So, Nia, who had drawn confession scenes, was actually very unfamiliar with the feeling of 'liking,' but she clearly knew that her feelings towards Inaba Tsukiyo were what was called 'liking.'
She had originally planned to take this secret to her grave, but since Inaba Tsukiyo had already discovered it, she could only officially address this issue.
"...Nia, were the words you just said to me serious?"
Although angry, remembering what Nia had just said, Inaba Tsukiyo calmed down and looked at Nia, who was kneeling on the ground, and said.
If Nia, as usual, told her with a cheerful smile that those were just her ramblings, then this matter would be over.
However, this matter would likely remain in their hearts, making the relationship between Inaba Tsukiyo and Nia tense.
It could become more intimate or more distant, depending on how Nia chose to handle this issue, whether to admit it or deny it.
Based on Nia's past behavior, she would definitely choose the latter, as she hated such troublesome things.
But this time, Nia said something different. She raised her head, smiled at Inaba Tsukiyo, and her eyes showed an unprecedented tenderness.
"I like you. This is not a lie; it's my true feeling, Tsukiyo-chan."
"I like you. The person I like the most in this world is you, Tsukiyo-chan."
"Ugh! You... you! Don't you know the purpose of my question?!"
Inaba Tsukiyo, caught off guard, asked in a fluster. Was this girl deliberately playing dumb, or did she want to embarrass her? To say such direct words.
"Of course I know, but I don't want to do that. If I deny it here, then it won't be so simple to confess to Tsukiyo-chan again in the future. I don't want that."
"But... but don't you only like two-dimensional characters? I'm not a two-dimensional girl, so why do you like me? And we're both girls."
"You, of all people, have no right to say that, Tsukiyo-chan. Isn't your other half also a girl? You, who only feel something for girls, what's the point of saying such things?"
Nia said with a cheerful smile. The content of Inaba Tsukiyo and Yoshino's conversation last time was heard by all of them.
