I used to be stunned.

Miyagi is just too sudden.

I didn’t assume she would carry up who I preferred simply now.

I stroll slowly, respiratory out and in, attempting to calm my coronary heart, which is about to cease.

I didn’t need to lie, so I answered, “I’ve,” which was in all probability a mistake. I assumed I may play the identical previous me, however Miyagi appeared unconvinced by my reply, and I may really feel her eyes on my again painfully. I pointed just a little additional forward in the meanwhile.

「Miyagi, they stated it was the jellyfish nook.」

I don’t need to develop on the individuals I like, so I need her to be extra excited about what’s within the tank than in me proper now.

I am going to the entrance of the tank, which is dimly lit, with glowing jellyfish drifting in entrance of it.

There are extra jellyfish than I anticipated, and they’re fluffy and swaying. The blue area we’re in and the within of the tank appear to mix collectively in a unbelievable ambiance, and I even really feel as if my physique is floating.

「Jellyfish are painful once they sting you, however they’re stunning if you see them like this. It’s soothing.」

As I regarded on the jellyfish and spoke to Miyagi, she got here subsequent to me and stated in a small voice,

「Yeah. I may have a look at them perpetually.」

I regarded from the tank subsequent to me and noticed Miyagi staring on the drifting jellyfish.

Earlier.

If solely I had stated,「It was you, Miyagi,」as a substitute of claiming that my favourite particular person is Mike-chan.

If I had stated,「It might be you, Miyagi,」even now.

I can’t say I need to quit the established order, however I can’t assist however think about it.

If I inform Miyagi that I like her, will she love me again?

I do know that she doesn’t hate me, and I can see that she would really like me, however I don’t even know the place these emotions could be labeled.

I want she felt the identical means.

We do some issues that somebody may say we’re courting. Often I’m happy with that, however generally I need Miyagi’s coronary heart as nicely. However I received’t dare to say the phrases that may trigger me to lose every part I’ve now with the intention to get that coronary heart.

Irrespective of what number of instances I give it some thought, the conclusion is similar.

It could change sooner or later, however for now I need to have a look at her with a pleasing feeling.

「Miyagi. There’s a seal up there, are you continue to wanting on the jellyfish?」

I make a cheerful sound as if to alter my thoughts.

「Let’s go above.」

I may hear bouncy voices coming from subsequent door, and I used to be glad to be on the aquarium.

I considered going to the zoo as a result of Miyagi appeared to love animals, however the zoo wasn’t an choice for me due to the warmth. I considered going to see platypus and crocodiles due to these tissue covers, however I heard that platypus aren’t in Japan to start with, and crocodiles didn’t look like one thing I might hassle to see. In the long run, I selected an aquarium due to the connection to creatures that stay the place there may be water, and it was in all probability the suitable selection.

…It was arduous to say, as a result of it was like asking somebody out on a date.

「It seems like some form of jungle. Are there seals right here?」

Up the steps, Miyagi blurts out.

This space is meant to be tropical, and it doesn’t seem like it has seals. I pull out a pamphlet from my bag to see the place the seals are.

「I believe they’re just a little additional in. Do you need to go see the seals first?」

「It’s positive. We’ll undergo them so as.」

We stroll leisurely, large fish and little fish. There have been turtles and iguanas, too, which was attention-grabbing. Miyagi’s face lights up as we transfer slowly and are available to the seal we’re in search of. Though they don’t make loads of noise, she appeared to favor mammals to fish, as she approached the tank as if she was about to bump her head when a seal comes towards her.

I hardly ever see Miyagi having fun with herself, so my gaze turns to her slightly than to the seals.

There are sea lions and otters on the rooftop.

Maybe I’ll see a extra fun-loving Miyagi.

The considered it makes me really feel excited.

I have a look at Miyagi, who seems on the seal with out being seen by her. I want it have been simply the 2 of us, however the aquarium is crowded throughout summer time trip.

I wish to go to the aquarium once more when it’s extra open.

Whereas I used to be serious about this, Miyagi checked out me.

「Sendai-san, are you hungry?」

「…I’m.」

I didn’t understand it till you talked about it, however apparently I’m hungry. I have a look at my cellphone and see that it’s already previous the time that we might’ve eaten lunch, so we resolve to say goodbye to the seals and fulfill my urge for food, although it’s too late.

「There’s a café on the roof, let’s get one thing to eat there.」

I say sure, and the particular person subsequent to me replies,「Okay.」We proceed on, wanting on the clownfish and river fish hiding within the anemones, and exit onto the rooftop. Leaving the ocean lions and otters for later, we entered the café and order a scorching canine and an iced tea, and whereas I’m at it, I additionally order a pancake to eat half and half.

We are saying「Itadakimasu,」in unison and take a chew of the new canine. I used to be so hungry that the new canine in entrance of me and the one in entrance of Miyagi shortly disappeared into my abdomen. Miyagi gulps down her iced tea and stares on the pancakes, which they stated are solely obtainable right here.

「That is cute.」

Miyagi, who’s in a superb temper and talks extra usually than ordinary, if no more eloquently, says in a mushy voice.

I do know I need to say one thing.

The pancakes have cute otter faces painted on them. However with the intention to eat it, the otter have to be sacrificed.

「I’m going to chop it up, okay?」

I ask Miyagi and he or she replies,「Okay.」I put a knife within the otter’s face and lower it in half. I heard Miyagi say,「Oh,」however I didn’t care, simply put the knife in additional and lower it into bite-sized items.

「Sendai-san, you chop it out with out blood or tears.」

Miyagi made a single sigh after which took a chew of the pancake I had lower up.

「And even when I present mercy, it’s nonetheless doomed to be eaten. If you happen to really feel sorry for them, why don’t you eat it anymore, Miyagi?」

「…I’ll eat.」

「Good. Since we’re right here, why don’t I feed you?」

「I’ll eat it myself.」

「Unlucky.」

We depart the café, having additionally flattened our pancakes.

In contrast to contained in the museum, it’s scorching on the rooftop.

Nonetheless, Miyagi is stuffed with vitality.

She walked just a little forward of me with gentle steps.

I see sea lions, I see Miyagi, I see the otter, I see Miyagi.

She didn’t get excited, however she appears to be having fun with herself, similar to when she was watching the seals.

Seeing Miyagi like that makes me joyful too.

However I additionally surprise if she and Utsunomiya had come to the aquarium, if they might speak much more than we do when she was with me, and transfer round, going this manner and that means, saying {that a} seal got here this manner or {that a} sea lion was mendacity round and was cute.

I let loose a small exhale and press my temple firmly.

Envying others will solely depress me.

I do know that, so I shortly expel Utsunomiya from my thoughts.

Miyagi doesn’t transfer from in entrance of the otter, maybe preferring the otter to the seals and sea lions.

「Doesn’t the knotted otter look just a little bit just like the platypus?」

I ask Miyagi as I have a look at the snuggling, sleeping otter.

「It completely doesn’t seem like one.」

「Actually?」

「If you happen to see the resemblance between a knotted otter and a platypus, you have to see an ophthalmologist.」

Miyagi stated one thing impolite and began strolling away. As we proceeded so as, a louder-than-usual voice was heard from subsequent door.

「Sendai-san, there’s so many penguins right here!」

Miyagi factors to an aquarium that appears like a meadow.

Certainly, there are a selection of penguins there.

「I heard that for those who go just a little additional, you’ll be able to see penguins from beneath.」

I inform her that I’ve finished my analysis earlier than coming right here.

「From beneath?」

「I heard that penguins swim above our heads.」

「I need to see it. The place?」

I checked the pamphlet and pointed over there, and Miyagi pulled my arm, saying,「Let’s go.」

We didn’t maintain fingers, however I stroll with my arm pulled by hers.

Miyagi flips her skirt and strikes ahead.

Quickly I see penguins swimming within the sky.

After all, they aren’t actually swimming within the sky. There’s an overhanging tank that permits guests to search for on the penguins swimming within the water once they enter below the overhanging tank.

「Wow. It seems like penguins are flying within the sky.」

Miyagi releases my arm from her grip and says as she seems up on the aquarium.

Due to its location on the rooftop, the penguins appear to be flying within the sky.

However I can’t take my eyes off Miyagi.

That’s as a result of I’ve one thing in entrance of me that’s a whole lot of instances rarer than flying penguins.

Smiling.

Miyagi was.

Trying very joyful.

Miyagi had smiled in school even once we have been highschool college students, and he or she additionally smiled when Utsunomiya came visiting. However when she is alone with me, she doesn’t smile. Quite the opposite, she usually seems grumpy.

Such Miyagi is smiling in entrance of me.

I don’t see any penguins.

I need to look solely at Miyagi on a regular basis.

It’s unlucky that the smile wasn’t directed at me, however I’m glad to see Miyagi smiling once we have been alone collectively.

「Do you want penguins?」

I ask Miyagi wanting up on the tank.

「Not that I like them, however they’re cute.」

A bouncy voice comes again to me, which I can solely assume is as a result of I like penguins.

She continues to look at the penguins flying within the sky with a smirk on her face, not realizing she is smiling.

「Miyagi.」

「What’s it?」

「Completely cute.」

「The penguins?」

Miyagi asks, wanting up on the tank.

「Yeah.」

The penguins are cute.

However Miyagi is way more cuter than them.

I need to say so, however I don’t need to say it out loud as a result of if I do, Miyagi’s smile will disappear.

Below the blue sky, the white stomach of a penguin passes by repeatedly.

I faux to take a look at the penguins and see Miyagi.

She has a glowing smile that she doesn’t present me at residence.

It’s hotter exterior than earlier than.

However I needed to maintain Miyagi the entire time.
