When you're down, chocolate is the best! - 7
Seia lay in bed. She felt a little down because her precognitive dream had been cut short.
Â
But since that was Seia's daily life, Seia lay in bed.
Â
Things would be different if it were soon her turn to host the tea party, but it wasn't, at least not now.
Â
"Haaah..."
Â
Streeetch-!
Â
Seia, with nothing to do, yawned and stretched her body.
Â
It was quite adorable, enough to make a third party laugh, but unfortunately, there was no one to watch this scene with her.
Â
Of course, there were no people, but there were living creatures.
Â
"Chirp chirp-!"
Â
Â
A white bird that had flown into Seia's room through the window at some point was watching Seia stretch.
Â
Â
"...?!"
'Wha, when did it get here?!'
Â
Â
Seia, who had shown a rather embarrassing sight, blushed, and though one might have wanted to capture the moment in a photo, sadly, there was no one to tease her.
Â
Â
"Chirp chirp-!"
Â
Â
"..."
Â
Â
Seia stared at the white bird's face for a moment, then got up from bed and walked towards it.
Â
Â
"Chirp?"
Â
Â
'Hello!'
Â
Â
Wave wave-
Â
Â
Seia waved her hand at the bird. Did she think the bird would understand her words?
Â
Â
"Chirp chirp-!"
Â
Â
"...!"
'Did it respond to my greeting?!'
Â
Â
Whether by coincidence or not, the white bird answered Seia's greeting.
Â
Â
"...!!"
'Can you understand me, by any chance?'
Â
Â
Seia looked at the white bird with a face full of anticipation as she exclaimed.
Â
Â
Sparkle sparkle-!
Â
Â
Seia's eyes sparkled as she spoke, but unfortunately, the white bird tilted its head, perhaps unable to understand her words.
Â
Â
"..."
'Ugh... Of course not... I didn't even say it out loud...'
Â
Â
Droop-
Â
Â
The white bird gazed at Seia, who was noticeably drooping, and then landed on her head as if to console her.
Â
Â
"...?!"
Â
Â
"Chirp-!"
Â
Â
'Whoa?! Are you comforting me?!'
Â
Â
The bird still had the look of not understanding Seia's words. But Seia felt like she had made a little friend.
Â
Â
"...!"
'Okay! Your name is Chirp Chirp from now on!'
Â
Â
Seia, with a bright expression, said so and stroked the white bird on her head.
Â
Â
Why the name Chirp Chirp... she didn't know...
Â
Â
* * *
Â
Â
Having gained a new friend, I immediately set off to show Chirp Chirp off to Nagisa.
Â
Â
Of course, she's one of my few friends, so I had to introduce them right away!
Â
Â
"Um, Seia-san...?"
Â
Â
Nod nod-
Â
Â
"Is it a pet this time...?"
Â
Â
As expected, Nagisa's reaction was typical. Should I send this little guy away?
Â
Â
At that thought, I instantly became dejected.
Â
Â
"...No. I don't think there's any need to chase it away. It's small, too."
Â
Â
"...!"
'Wow! Really?!'
Â
Â
Seeing me with a face like a child who had just received permission to keep a pet, Nagisa momentarily couldn't hold back a laugh, but it should be fine!
Â
Â
"Ahaha☆ Seia-chan! Nagi-chan! You were both here!"
Â
Â
"Mika-san? Is something the matter?"
Â
Â
"Do we need something to be the matter to look for each other? Hmm... I might be a little sad~ We've been together for years..."
Â
Â
"..."
Â
Â
Mika, who appeared suddenly, threw a casual jab at Nagisa as usual and then got to the point.
Â
Â
"Ta-da☆ Seia-chan! Nagi-chan! Have you both seen this? Our correspondent contacted us saying that someone called 'Sensei' has arrived!"
Â
Â
"..."
'I already told them I saw that in my precognitive dream...'
Â
Â
I looked at Mika with such an expression, but she didn't seem to understand my look.
Â
Â
"Sensei? I did hear that the General Student Council has been unusually busy lately..."
Â
Â
"..."
'Na, Nagisa-chan doesn't remember my story either...!'
Â
Â
I worked so hard to tell them about it...!
Â
Â
As the image of me trying to convey the story by shaking my whole body flashed through my mind, I instantly felt upset.
Â
Â
To put it simply, I was sulking.
Â
Â
"That's not what I mean! Seia-chan! You agree with me, right, Seia-chan?"
Â
Â
"..."
'I'm sulking, so don't talk to me!'
Â
Â
Whisk-!
Â
Â
Thinking that, I turned my head away sharply, and soon, Mika and Nagisa's bewildered reactions came.
Â
Â
"Se, Seia-chan?!"
Â
Â
"...Seia-san?"
Â
Â
'It's no good even if you call me. I went through so much trouble to tell you about that.'
Â
Â
"Wh, what did we do wrong to Seia-chan?!"
Â
Â
"Uh, oh...? Something big seems to have happened..."
Â
Â
Mika and Nagisa, who had entered a state of emergency in an instant, began to devise a plan to appease the sulking me.
Â
Â
"How about we do the aegyo Seia-chan did last time back to her?"
Â
Â
"Wouldn't Seia-chan hate it, saying it's her dark history...?"
Â
Â
"Ugh... Then, Mika-san, do you have any ideas?"
Â
Â
"Of course☆ Listen, Nagi-chan? It's easier to cheer up a sulking Seia-chan than to find out why she's sulking!"
Â
Â
Mika's words didn't seem to make sense, but they had a point. Nagisa decided to listen to Mika for now.
Â
Â
"Seia-chan is a cuter and simpler girl than you think...!"
Â
Â
"Then...?"
Â
Â
Mika took out a small, square object from her pocket.
Â
Â
"In times like these, chocolate is the best food!"
Â
Â
"...!"
'There's no way something like chocolate can cheer me up...'
Â
While I was thinking that, Mika forcibly shoved a piece of chocolate into my mouth.
Â
Pop-
Â
"...?!"
Â
"How is it, Seia-chan? Do you like it? This is a very expensive chocolate☆"
Â
"..."
'It's, it's delicious...'
Â
There's no way it could... it shouldn't...
Â
'It's delicious...'
Â
... I was defeated by a single piece of chocolate.
