Chapter 28
Translator: Mamuni
My best friend was rushed to the medical offices. She has still not regained consciousness. According to the nurse, she just had a minor concussion from banging her head and fainted. . .It’s been an uneasy afternoon.
Because we all couldn’t fit in the medical office, we had to take turns checking on her.
It was Camellia who took charge in this hectic time. At that time, she was more reliable than I. Compared to her, I am powerless, even as Shiran-san’s best friend.
The unconscious Shiran-san was by my side, she looked like she was asleep. I couldn’t help but whisper to her.
“Hey, everyone is waiting for you to wake up.”
“Do you know Shiran? You probably didn’t realize it, but you are pretty popular. I didn’t know what to do about it, so I kept quiet. . .”
“No, that’s not it. I was just afraid. I was afraid that everyone would take you away. After all, until we entered middle school, it was just us together.”
“But once I noticed, Shiran was alone in the center of the circle. I think it couldn’t be helped that I became anxious.”
“No, Perhaps it wasn’t just you that changed. We couldn’t stay children forever.”
My feelings began to leak, before I knew it I couldn’t stop telling her.
“That’s when. . .I fell in love with you. From the bottom of my heart.”
“I’m sure you’d just tease me if you were awake but. . .I truly feel like I love you.”
I couldn’t bring myself to say to her in person. I was sure I was going to bring these feelings to the grave. Yet here I was leaking them to an asleep Shiran.
“. . .Ehehe, is that so. Fuu.”
I could hear the voice of Shiran in my head. Yeah, if this was happening, I feel like she would just make fun of me.
. . .Wait, Shirans voice!?
“Fufu. I’m happy.”
“S-Shiran. . .good morning.”
“Yeah, Good morning.”
She should have been unconscious, but her eyes were opened and she was smiling. Her cheeks were also a bit blushed.
In this situation, you should be checking to see if they are alright and getting the nurse. Forgive me for being selfish, but I need to know.
“Hey, Shiran. . . How long have you been conscious?”
“Um. . . maybe at ”No, that’s not it. I was just afraid” probably around then?”
So she heard it all!?!?
And that means my confession. . .
“Ahhhhhhhh, just kill me already!!”
Hearing my desperate pleads for mercy, everyone one led by Camellia walked in. Were they all in front of the medical office!
If I knew that I wouldn’t have even taken the chance.
There were ones who were checking to make sure everything was alright, some gave a voice of relief, one tried to sneak into Shiran-san’s bed, and another got mad at them. . .It was Anemone, she was trying to sneak in.
She was immediately pulled out by Camellia, so nothing bad happened.
Then it was Lily that slowly approached from behind them all. Normally she would be the first to pounce Shiran. Yet right now she seemed awfully reserved.
She wasn’t with her after school even though that was her job, so I’d assume something happened.
“Um. . .Shiran-chan. That prank that I did this morning. I’m really sorry about that.”
“Oh that. Don’t worry about it. I don’t mind.”

I don’t know what happened, but Lily was bowing her head deeply. I think something bad must have happened. And like always, it was Shiran that showed her kindness.
As long as Shiran has forgiven her, Lily shouldn’t feel too guilty. Although this should be a good medicine to perhaps alleviate her daily perversion.
“Because I can understand how you feel, Lily.”
“Eh? Does that mean my love has finally reached you. . ?”
Once she heard Shiran, Lily raised her blushed head and looked expectantly. However Shiran then continued.
“Because I love Iris. . .I understand the feeling of wanting to monopolize someone.”
““”. . .What!??!”””
It wasn’t just Lily and I raising our voices. . .It was everybody uniformly saying it in surprise.
It was then Shiran got up on her own, and whether or not understanding the chaos she just caused. Walked straight to me and hugged me.
Lily, who was pushed from heaven to hell, fell to her knees in defeat. However now isn’t the time to worry about her.
“Shiran. . .you love me? You mean you love me as a best friend, right?”
Yeah, I don’t want to make the same mistake again. I can’t have a similar misunderstanding like the night of the ball. I want to be able to read the punch line properly.
“No, not like that. You. . .are my first love.”
“I see, so it was just my imagination. . .wha!?”
Huh? That was quite different than what I imagined.
I tried to see if it was a joke, but she doesn’t make those kinds of jokes, however before I knew it. Her face was right in front of me. So close I could feel her breath.
“Then here is my Proof.”
Her lips then touched mine. She stayed there touching mine. Aah, my whole body then lost its power. . .
I was struck with joy and confusion. Lily was currently just lying on the floor. And the surprised squealing of the others echoed in the medical office.

After I woke up, everyone took me to the courtyard. Fortunately nothing was wrong with my body, but everyone was still worried.
I caused a lot of trouble. I need to reflect on that.
. .. Hm? Something smells good.
“Wah!”
On a decorated courtyard table, was a whole cake and various treats. And on the cake were 13 candles.
“The food has mostly cooled down, but. . . consider this penance.”
“Ara ara, Camellisan, don’t say it like that. Then I as the student council president will speak on the behalf of us all. Happy birthday Shiran-san!”
Aahh, that’s right. I completely forgot, but today is my 13th birthday, it’s been that long since I was born into this world. I had lost my memories just a little while ago, so I completely forgot.
But yeah. I’ve lived 13 years as Shiran. And I’m quite happy I did.
“I’m sorry for making you all worry. . .Thank you!”
Surrounded by my dear friends that all smiled dearly, my birthday party then began.
“. . .Hey Shiran-chan. Isn’t it time to get off Iris?”
“No.”
“G. . .geeze, you look like a spoiled child.”
“Don’t care.”
I got on Iris’ lap in the corner of the courtyard as I chewed on some cake. By the way, I held on to this seat till the end.
Lily said various things to me, but I just want to spend today like this. After all, we just finally became honest with our feelings.
“W-Well you heard it Lily. D-Don’t act like that.”

Iris opened her mouth with a pained smile. Hey, wait. Why are you having a bitter smile? Muu. . .
“Uuu. . . It can’t be helped now, but people’s feelings can change with some time and chance. So right now, they’re in, lo- – -maybe they’re in love, but I’ll definitely take Shiran-chan’s heart!”
“. . .The others said something similar. But it looks like they are handling it well.”
Lily’s declared war with a positive confident expression. It is apparent she hasn’t given up.
But, are you supposed to say that in front of the person in question? Because I’m right here?
“Shiran-san what are you doing in the corner again. . .You’re the star of the party. Come over here.”
It was camellia that came to us and encouraged us to head to the center of the venue.
Yeah, well, Camellia did say that this party was prepared by everyone.
I stood up and was pulled by Camellia. We started to walk away from Iris, who had a bitter smile, and Lily with her fighting spirit.
At that time, a strong gust of wind blew from behind. Then Camellia’s skirt flew up in front of me.
“Kyah. . .Shiran, don’t look?!?!”
Camellia is wearing quite sexy clothes for her serious behavior.
Yeah, I think I can continue living my life freely.
Author’s Notes: There are many parts of the story that I have not written yet, but those areas may be updated in an extra edition if people want it.
I have a new serialization work called” TS little girl who didn’t know the language, and was picked up by an overprotective older sister elf.” So please keep your eyes out for that.
One last words, I’d be very pleased if you can give you impressions and evaluations. If you’d please!
TN: here is a link to this novel if you’d like to go give it a positive rating, or the such. https://ncode.syosetu.com/n8854gf/28/ link to this chapter. You can scroll down and rate it stars if you’d like to.
On a side note, the author also put another chapter listing the characters and traits, and possible routes besides the main route (aka Iris route) So maybe that is the other stuff.
