...Like my little sister, Kuroha.

“...”

Yuzu-san wordlessly stared at me, then giggled and faced at the sky. The golden moon was looking down at us.

Still looking upward, Yuzu-san said, “...Okay. Gin-san, I understand now.”

She had a tone and expression of defeat, seeming like she’d grasped something. That’s when I realized that she had come to an answer.

“This... will be a long battle.”

“Long battle?”

“Yes. Right now, it’s a few months versus 16 years. But in 100 years, it’ll be 100 versus 116 years. The gap will reduce to nothing. I’ll do my own research in the meantime, and figure out how to win.”

“...”

I’m sure the 100 years was just an exaggeration. But it seemed that Yuzu-san had just thrown away her desire to be with me immediately.

I felt one of the threads untangle itself and go away. It was a sad moment, but I didn’t have the right to say anything. I mean, the one who caused this was none other than me.

“Yuzu-san, um...” I wanted to apologize, but I felt like saying sorry would be cruel, so I didn’t continue.

Then, Yuzu-san put on a soft smile.

“It’s okay. I was able to figure this out right now, Gin-san belongs to Homyura-san.”

Huh? I belong to Homyura?

Homyura’s appearance was based on Yuzu-san. And her thoughts were also based on Yuzu-san’s... right? If I belong to Homyura, does that mean I belong to Yuzu-san? But she phrased it as if she was a third party...

“What does that mean...?”

“...I’ve been asked to keep quiet, so I can’t answer that.”

???

Yuzu-san stared up at the sky again, and said to herself, “I want to have a goal to prepare for the long battle ahead. A goal that will help me live in this time period.”

Those words were filled with an optimistic power. I was ashamed of myself. It was rude of me to think she would fall to despair and kill herself. She wasn’t such a weak girl like that. She was stronger than both Kuroha and me.

Yuzu-san. I’m sorry for not being able to embrace you. But if there’s anything I can do for you, I want to. I want to do everything I can to support you living in this time period. So, while I can’t embrace you...

I held out my hand to Yuzu-san.

“My. What is it, Gin-san?”

“Let’s shake hands, Yuzu-san.”

She stared at my outstretched hand, then giggled, and softly grasped it back. And then—she pulled me toward her. I lost my balance, and my face was brought toward Yuzu-san’s.

“...Wha?” I looked at her in confusion.

“Kuroha-san, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I won’t do anything bad like this again. Please let me make just this one memory,” she said, and then pressed her lips against my cheek.
