Chapter 44
You
"You're really mean! Why do you leave me alone?!"
"Hikari, I-
"You're silly! You even forgot to bring my book!"
"Takeru, listen to-
"You're idiot! Don't pretend to be a smart one!"
"Miyako-san, wait-
"Daisuke, how many time you'll repeat your mistakes?"
"Ken, this isn't what-
"No excuses!" the four of them yelled, causing Daisuke to wince and murmur sadly to himself.
But, everyone then sighed. Miyako then opened up.
"It's true that sometimes-
"Often," Takeru chuckled, cutting out Miyako's words.
"Okay. It's true that you often do something silly…" Miyako warmly smiled, even though the goggle boy was still looking at the ground.
"But…" Ken stepped forward, gently tapped Daisuke's shoulder.
"Those all what make you,… you," Takeru spoke out, and these all enough to make Daisuke have some confident to pull his face up.
"Uhm… so, I'm Daisuke the silly boy?" his innocent statement caught them in a howling laughter, except Hikari.
She eventually giggled, and squeezed Daisuke's palm with hers.
"You're not silly, Daisuke," she giggled again. "Sorry before, I didn't mean it," Daisuke whimpered, and it caused Hikari to giggle more.
"I know you're not that kind of moron. You just pretend to be silly, to make us happy for your foolish act," soon, she let go of him. Everyone had stopped their laugh.
Receiving smiles from them, Daisuke smiled too.
"No matter how silly you are, still, without you around… we're nothing,"
