Chapter-46 ★

Rie's point of view

　Even though I made that decision, time kept moving forward and soon it was time for class to start. In the end, I couldn't tell Mamoru not to bother him. But he said he enjoyed being with me. I got so excited that I forgot I was in class and was about to hug him when the bell rang to signal the start of class.

　…Why am I like this!? I act out of control and cause more trouble for Mamoru than anyone else... Maybe I'll never be able to be on an equal footing with him? To him, I guess he still sees me as a child, too much work...

　But still, Mamoru-kun forgives me "again." Even though I'm always causing him trouble, he still allows me to be by his side. That makes me very happy, but at the same time, it makes me very lonely. Right now, I'm just relying on Mamoru-kun, taking advantage of his kindness. But one day, I want him to rely on me too. So, I'm going to do what I can now. And that's watering the flowers!

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

　I've been thinking about it since yesterday. How can I spend my lunch break chatting with Mamoru-kun? It's simple! I can help him out! That way, I can talk to him, and it might be the first step towards him relying on me! Plus, it'll be our first time working together! It's a great plan that kills three birds with one stone!

　The plan worked surprisingly well. I'm always happy when I'm with Mamoru. From here, let's move on to the next step, which is to start talking! ...Maybe talking about flowers is the best thing to do after all? Mamoru is kind to flowers too, isn't he? I'm a little jealous of the flowers, who have received his love for a much longer period of time than I have. ...Well, from now on, I just need to work hard to be Mamoru's number one!

　...But Mamoru had such a noble idea that I felt bad thinking like that. Flowers have their own wills, and they want you to have a comfortable life, even if just a little. ...I'm sure Mamoru is saying this unconsciously, but if I were a flower, I'd definitely be in love with you! Maybe flowers are my rivals too...?

　…But now, I'm taking care of the flowers together with Mamoru-kun. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are essentially our children! If you think about it, we have a lot of children! Is this pink one a girl? Is this indigo blue one a boy? This one is a girl, and this one is also a girl, will the next one be a boy? …I wonder how many children Mamoru-kun wants
