I Don't Know Which is Love ch74

Farewells are just the beginning of a new encounter.

hic hic...
Uuuuh

Stop crying already...
The tears are coming out on their own~

Will you stop going overseas if I stop crying?
No can do.

Haah Uuuh~ Why not~? I hate this~
Hah...
We're going in circles here...

The flight from Detroit has...
Airways flight 4600 from London Heathrow has arrived.

Calmed down now?
There's still some time before my flight.
Right...
Thank you.

Um...
Do the others
know you're going abroad?

I guess I have been discussing it with Todomeki this whole time.
Ironically, she's an alumni of the place I'm studying abroad at.
Eh? Maria-sensei!?

She is one of those so-called elites,
even if she doesn't act like it.
I see...

I had no idea... I didn't know anything...
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do without you close by, Kaoru-senpai.

I might end up going down the wrong path...
Gahaha
So even you're aware of that, huh?
!?

You'd kiss just about anyone, right?
If someone told you to give them a lewd kiss, you'd fold right away, right?
Th-That was...
I only kiss people that I love!
Hmm?

Then...

How about telling me what you love about the great Kaoru-sama?
You love me, right? Tell me.
...Ng.
Uuh...

Erm... I love how even though you're strict, you're more considerate than others...
How you're pretty and smart and a reliably hard worker...
How you praise how I smell.
How you're gentle when you hug me...

I love
everything about you.
Hmm~
I can't hear~ you~

I SAID I LOVE EVERYTHING
ABOUT YOU, KAORU-SENPAI!!

Hah

I see.

Okay, Soraike! Let's change locations.
This way!
Ah, right!

Ooh!
We've got this place all to ourselves today.

...

Are you really... gonna fly away on a plane?
Yeah, that's right.

I don't want that.

Hey...
Soraike.
Wanna come with me?

I'll be sure to treasure you, so be by my side...
Come with me...

Why are you only saying that now!?

I wanna be by your side too... but
I can't just go overseas all of a sudden...
I still have three years left of college...

Figured as much.

Aw man~
Soraike rejected me~
My first ever rejection!! This is why I hate fighting losing battles!
Huh!?
I didn't reject you!!

p10

It's only because you're asking the impossible so suddenly without even consulting me first, Kaoru-senpai!
But if you're not coming with me, that means you've rejected me, right?
No, it doesn't!

It's only because I lack the courage to go with you.
I'm not brave enough to pursue a dream like you're doing, Kaoru-senpai.
It's simply because I don't have any confidence or dreams at all.

That's where you're wrong,
Soraike.
Eh?

p11

You have things you still want to do here.
That's why you turned me down the great Kaoru-sama.

So just do what you gotta do.
Take responsibility and live for yourself, Soraike...

p12

Tch
Looks like it's time...

Ah...
I know you rejected me and all,
but I'd like
to sniff you one last time, Soraike.

Is that okay?

p13

Sure... Go ahead,
Kaoru-senpai!

p14-15

Aah.
Such a nice scent.

I love you, Soraike.
I love you so much.

p16

Goodbye, Soraike.

p17

Uh
Uuh

My nose is so stuffed up that I couldn't sniff Soraike's scent at all...

p18

Take care,
Soraike.

Until we meet again someday.

The contenders for Mei's lover go down by one again...
