"Yeah, you don't because Karashima is like me. He only loves you."
'Stupid.' Lila thought. This person is stupid.
Kiryu is stupid, Kiryu must have read what he was thinking. Since he adds, "That should be obvious to you now. Whether it is mine or Karashima's feelings, it's certain. No matter who tries to intervene, nothing will change."
"When will you let me go?" Lila suddenly questioned, because she felt comfortable being held in his arms like this. A different type of comfort than before.
"Probably never, hugging you feels nice."
Lila rolled her eyes, "If somebody takes a picture, were going to get in trouble. So get off me."
Kiryu smiled and drew back. The absence of his warmth made her pause, and she shook her head. She is a grown-up now. She can't act clingy anymore. Besides Kiryu, he — he is the one who gave up on her first. While he had his reasons, it's very hard for her to return to someone who has left her already. Even when her mother came back, it was difficult for her to adjust. She was very happy, and yet deep down; she couldn't erase her fears.
The same goes for Kiryu, Lila knew she wouldn't be able to handle it if he did the same thing again.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
The two of them made their way back into the room to find senpai completely absorbed in writing. Lila made her way over and sat down beside him. What is he doing? Is he composing something?
Still, she hasn't seen him so focused like this in a long time. Then again this past year she's barely seen him. Even though senpai followed her to Light Town, she's hardly seen him. He keeps disappearing a lot these days too. How peculiar, last year senpai appeared before her again. They got along like they usually did, so many things happened.
"Ahh! I finally did it!" Oujiro exclaimed.
Lila, who had spent the past few minutes staring, and Kiryu, who had his headphones on, looked over.
Oujiro looked at them, blankly, "Uhhh? Huh? what?"
Lila laughed, "Uh, you were so absorbed in writing.."
"Shoot.."
Lila's gaze softened, and she laughed more. "But, I haven't seen you so focused in so long. What were you composing? Let me see."
He tried to hide it from her, but Lila had already grabbed it. Her eyes widened when she saw it, and she quickly stood up. "Kiryu! Look, look! Senpai is amazing. He's like a god."
Kiryu sighed and rolled his eyes, "You're praising him too much."
"Senpai is amazing," Lila's eyes were bright.
"Even I think so," Oujiro nodded.
"Why are you agreeing to her compliment about yourself?" Kiryu scanned the music sheet and sighed. "Let's go with this one for the battle of the bands."
Ah? "Kiryu thinks it's amazing too. Good job, senpai!"
"Do you even understand what kind of song this is?" Kiryu asked her.
What kind of song? Kiryu passed her the sheets again, and Lila paused to look at the lyrics. Ah, this is a song about her. About a girl trying to push away love and other emotions. Push away those who are close to her, push away any emotions. Until it finally gets so close that she could no longer push it away.
This song reminds her of Haruka and herself even though she pushed him away for such a long time, even though she suppressed these emotions in her heart. "Senpai, did you know?" Lila phrased it a question; she did not expect an actual answer from him.
However, senpai nodded. "I knew. Of course, I did. That's why even though I came to Light Town. I didn't approach you. I didn't want to intervene."
Lila laughed, "Senpai. You're very stupid, after all." He really is. But senpai made the right call, had he appeared before her then. Then she would not be able to concentrate on Haruka.
To her surprise, Lila felt somebody lift her off the ground.
"Kiryu put me down!"
"You were about to faint."
"Don't touch me."
If he touches her, what if she thinks strange things again?
His gaze softened like he understood what she thought. "You can think weird things. I wouldn't mind."
"Don't be ridiculous."
Kiryu chuckled and opened the door. It was a bedroom, and Lila rolled her eyes. This company is as strange as ever; there are random bedrooms. He gently laid her down on the bed and tucked her in.
"Okay, sleep. I'll sing you a lullaby."
"No need!" Lila immediately buried her face in the blankets. After a few minutes, she hears Kiryu stand up and leave. Lila reached out for her bag and unzipped the pocket. She removed her phone and immediately clicked the icon on her home screen — a direct link to Haruka's number.
Should she call him or not? She wants to hear his voice for a bit, so shouldn't it be okay? But, how about if he is with Aizawa-san? Lila bit her lip; she doesn't want to hear those two getting along with each other. Even if Haruka is just acting. Lila wanted to refrain herself from hearing it. It doesn't help how Aizawa-san appears before her at work and rubs in her relationship with Haruka. That would be fine and all, if she didn't touch him so much.
Lila shook her head and sighed. Don't think about it too deeply.
It surprised her how quickly he picked up. "Hello?
"Ah, um! Hello."
"Hey," Haruka greeted. "What are you doing?"
"Haruka, can I see your face?"
"Hold on," she hears a rattling sound.

Clicking the accept button, Haruka's face appears on the screen. To her surprise, though, she noticed that he wasn't at home. "Haruka? Where are you?"
"Hmm, buying you a ring."
"Um…"
Haruka smiled, "You don't want one?"
"But you already gave me a ring…"
"That's an engagement ring. Let me get you a proper one."
"Ah, my size.."
"I know."
Why does he know? Is he stupid or something? But, he didn't go back to Aizawa-san. Even though he is supposed to be working on the plan, Haruka is doing whatever he can to avoid her.
"Haruka, I miss you."
"Mm, I'll come fetch you?"
Lila shook her head, "You have to go back. It's already late.."
"But, you miss me, right?"
She does, but… She feels so conflicted. "Hey, don't cry. I'm not there to wipe your tears away."
"I want to see you, but we can't. But I want to break those rules anyway."
"Your so helpless, my love. I'll get you, alright? Wait for me there."
But he can't; she should stop him. She should stop him, but...
he will only walk her halfway. She didn't call him to bother him. Is he annoyed? "Lila."
"Yes?"
"I want to kiss you right now."
At that comment, her cheeks turned red. Her unease from a second ago disappeared in an instance. What is this man talking about?
"Your bright red and look so cute."
"Why are you teasing me," Lila mumbled. "I'm very embarrassed."
Haruka laughed. "I see, that's good."
That's good? Geez. But her heart feels at ease speaking with him like this.
…
Right as she finished her call with Haruka, Kiryu entered the room. But the moment he made his way over, he slumped on the bed. Lila looked at him, puzzled, 'He was tired?' She couldn't tell. But, her gaze fell on his phone, which was still in his hands. She briefly saw the caller ID when he left, but now it was clear.
'Annoying Fujisaki.'
Fujisaki Selia, she almost forgot about that woman. How unusual, she was so worked up about that woman before. But now? Now things were different, that woman has completely disappeared from her memory. Is it because she doesn't love Kiryu anymore? Doesn't love Kiryu... That's a bit unusual to her. Can she say those words out loud?
Her thoughts broke off when he wrapped his arms around her waist. It felt so very familiar to her.
The song senpai wrote for her is very nice, and she wants to sing it. But, the one she wants to sing the most are Kiryu's songs. That hasn't changed at all. She still loves his songs the most, and she can still sing his songs the best. Only Kiryu's songs can make her scream.
Lila hummed a note before she started to sing. It was an old song, the song she wrote for Kiryu during her audition round.
"...filled with the deep emotions we carry from our youth....
We can no longer return to our past love.
The past where we spent our fleeting every day only thinking about each other, where our worlds revolved around each other...."
Now that she thought about it, the only reason why she can sing like this is because she isn't in a relationship with Kiryu anymore. Unlike the time she sang this for the audition, something has changed. Her voice is different; she can sing the song better.
If Kiryu and her were still in love then…
"Lila," Kiryu mumbled.
'...stupid..' Lila wanted to scold him, she felt the tears well up in her eyes. Why did he let her go? Even if their relationship would have changed. It would not matter. The two of them could have worked on all those problems. Is he sick? That doesn't matter; they'll work on it. Find a solution. So, why? Why..
'Cherish your feelings, Lila.
No matter what, even if it isn't affectionate love.'
Ameno-senpai and even Acchan told her that recently. Cherish… Lila reached over and caressed his cheeks before she buried her face in his arms. "Kiryu, I'm so sorry."
She is sorry, falling in love... Being together is impossible. They can't be together anymore. But, even if it is selfish can she still love his songs? Can she still treasure him?
