I am BOSS! ～fine～[Tutor KHR]

"...?"

The tearful blue eyes were occupied by doubts, unable to understand what Dino meant by "I understand", and also unable to figure out what Dino understood, Suzuna looked at the back of Dino getting up and leaving. Nothing can be done.The headache that seemed to never stop was still tormenting her endlessly, and her tired body made it difficult for her to move—Suzuna, who had been lying in bed for most of the month, had suffered a serious decline in physical strength.

Sitting up from the carpet, Suzuna, who felt that she was losing her composure, quickly wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand.She didn't intend to cry in front of Dino - Suzuna knew better than anyone that the most uncomfortable person during this time was Dino.Dino, who is watching himself in pain, will always show a very painful expression inadvertently, and every time, Dino will quickly suppress the pain on his face in front of him, carefully not letting himself realize that he is doing it because of him. Suffering is suffering.However, Suzuna, who is as careful as a hair, still noticed it.

(Dino-kun actually didn't need to encounter such a thing at all...)

Every time she saw Dino's smile, Suzuna felt that she could persevere and work harder without being defeated by the pain and the anxiety of not seeing the future.Because of this, when she thought of Dino forcing a smile on her sick self every day in order to cheer herself up, Suzuna felt unspeakably guilty.

(I'm still in front of him—)

Suzuna has such a self-consciousness that she said what she shouldn't say, and she did what she shouldn't do.

(Just an apology.)

Shaking her dizzy and swollen head from the excessive pain, Suzuna, who was trying to wake herself up, supported her limp body and walked towards the direction Dino left.Walking through the long corridor with bare feet, Suzuna, who was dazzled by the winter sun, stopped as if she couldn't feel the coldness of the corridor floor, and leaned against the wall.

Crack-

The crisp sound of metal rubbing against the ground was heard less than five meters ahead.To Suzuna, that was not a comfortable sound.The strong buzzing sound like a tuning fork percussion miraculously penetrated into her brain and stimulated her brain.It seems that something that shouldn't be remembered or realized is about to jump out of the obscure sea of ​​consciousness and appear vividly in front of Suzuna's eyes.

(What……?)

Someone walked through the bright sun with leaden shadows like Suzuna.In the backlight, the man raised his head.

The blond hair with slightly natural curls reflects the sun, and the amber eyes are quiet and intellectual. The face is still a little childish, but it already has the charm enough to captivate thousands of women.Tall figure, well-proportioned figure, slender limbs that are used to seeing.The man was indeed 16-year-old Dino.But he was so calm that Suzuna had the illusion that she didn't know him at all.

"I don't want to do this kind of thing."

Something cold landed on Suzuna's wrist.Suzuna lowered her head blankly.Seeing that his wrist was caught in the iron ring thicker than his fingers.

"Dino, Jun...?"

Suzuna didn't know whether she had become slow thinking because of the headache, or because of other reasons.

"But I want to watch you disappear from my eyes again... This kind of thing——"

There was a tinge of passion in the terrifyingly calm voice.

"I can not do it……!!"

The ensuing depression was so deep that it almost made Suzuna feel suffocated.

"I can't do it!!!!!!"

Not caring if it would hurt Suzuna, he hugged Suzuna who was handcuffed with heavy torture tools with all his strength, and Dino yelled in a voice almost crying.

"..."

(why?)

Instinctively think about what happened, what happened to Dino in front of him, what happened to himself, why such a thing happened, why Dino made Suzuna stunned when such a thing happened While in place, he also thought of something at a loss.

(This is……)

From the moment she opened her eyes on her bed and met the 22-year-old Dino, Suzuna couldn't understand where Dino's affection for her came from.After crossing time and space and "running away" with 13-year-old Dino, Suzuna finally understands that Dino's affection for her stems from the encounters they experienced together under the intersection of time and space.

However, such an understanding only deepened Suzuna's doubts.Suzuna still didn't understand what kind of strong emotion Dino was throwing at her.Whether it is the mutual adversity or the bond between the brothers and sisters, for Suzuna, the things that she and Dino have experienced are far from enough to make Dino have such a strong feeling.

Suzuna——

The voice that always called his name softly.

The gaze that always stares at him with eyes full of tenderness.

That kind of inexplicable feeling that makes me feel a little painful in my chest, like being picked up by someone.

Suzuna suddenly understood.

(This is……)

"I like you!!"

Dino's tears streamed down and brushed Suzuna's cheeks hotly.

"I've always loved you!!!"

Standing there in a daze, Suzuna was almost scalded by the temperature from Dino's tears.

(—Mr. Dino's feelings.)

Suzuna!

When I see this person six years later, how will I face myself?

When I looked at him with the eyes of a stranger.

When I was indifferent to him.

When I only care about chasing the back of others and ignore his feelings.

(Mr. Dino, he...)

Always smile without a trace of haze.Then, always reach out to yourself in a friendly way.

"...if you want to go...if you have to go...!!"

This man who is a "senior brother" will treat this man with the attitude of a "senior brother" as I hoped, a man who expresses his feelings clumsily and forbearingly, and never forces himself to face up to his feelings... …

"Take me with you—"

The iron chain on Suzuna's wrist fell off in response.Dino has never been able to buckle the iron chain that can take Suzuna's freedom.

------

"At that time, I first learned about 'love'."

The woman standing by the floor-to-ceiling window said as she took off her glasses on the bridge of her nose and put them on a small table beside her.She turned around and looked at the man on the big bed writhing in pain with her blue eyes.

"For the first time, I learned that human beings can love another human being like this."

The scenery in the not-so-clear field of vision was constantly shaking.Hot sweat gushes from the skin, and the sticky feeling is unpleasant.It was as if a strange flame had been ignited in the body, and the flame continued to burn the muscles and bones, as well as scorching the blood and nerves.

"Ling... Nai..."

The man panted and called out the woman's name, his hoarse voice full of struggle revealed an unusual sexiness.

"Mr. Dino."

Responding to Dino's call, Suzuna quickly walked to the bedside.Her icy right hand brushed away the hair that was stuck to Dino's forehead and temples by sweat, and stroked Dino's eyebrows and lips that were both deep in the West and delicate in the East.

"Why, do such...things..."

Struggling with difficulty that could not be called resistance, Dino looked for Suzuna's true intentions with moist eyes that seemed to be about to shed tears.He, who has been given a strong love potion, is desperately fighting against the vulgar desire produced in his body.

Suzuna just smiled at this.

"Although the 16-year-old Mr. Dino told me to take you with me. But Mr. Dino was not planning to leave from the beginning, right?"

Don't answer the question.Suzuna continued on with topics that might not have any meaning at all.

"I know that Mr. Dino loves the family, and he also loves the 'family' in the family. It is impossible for Mr. Dino to abandon his family, nor will he abandon his 'family'."

"Because Mr. Dino is a gentle person. Therefore, Mr. Dino can't give an answer to the question of choosing me or Gabrielone."

"The problem of choosing me or my junior and the Allied Family Pengelie is the same."

Ignoring the ever-changing expression on Dino's face, he unbuttoned the striped shirt with icy slender fingers.

"so,"

"Let me choose the answer for you."

Leaning close to Dino's ear, Suzuna softly uttered a voice that only she and Dino could hear.

"——————"

I don't know whether it was more regret and self-blame or more sorrowful tears poured out of Dino's eyes.

The wind in late spring is still a bit cold, and the curtains beside the floor-to-ceiling windows blown by the chilly wind are like ghosts that appear and disappear in the night.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, stars are shining, like diamonds scattered on the black velvet.Looking at these sparkling diamonds, Tsunayoshi, who had confirmed the wedding process again, imagined the scene of wearing a diamond ring for Suzuna in front of the priest the next day.

"Senior Suzuna... No, what is Suzuna doing now?"

Thinking of Suzuna, Tsunayoshi's smile came to his lips.

"Could it be... that you can't fall asleep like me?"

Although no one heard her talking to herself, Tsuna still felt a little ashamed of being so excited that she couldn't sleep.

"No, no way... Suzuna used to be a calm person..."

Realizing that if I go on like this, tomorrow I will meet Suzuna with a face that lacks sleep and may have huge black eye sockets. Tsunayoshi, who is blushing, closes her eyes and faces the dark sky outside the window. Taking a breath, he walked back into the house.

Following the tradition, Tsunayoshi and Suzuna, who are Suzuna's fiancé-in-law, do not meet each other on the eve of their wedding.Both of them slept at Vengley's headquarters under the protection of everyone that night.At the same time, in order for the bride and groom to rest well and prepare for the next day's wedding in a safe state, no one should have disturbed Suzuna and Tsunayoshi that night.

However, Hayato Gojoji came to Hojo Suzuna's room.

Looking at the dark brown door, the prison temple raised and lowered the hand that wanted to knock on the door several times.

"It's really worrying to watch, you prison temple."

A hand stretched out.He didn't even need to raise his eyes to look, and he knew that the person was Takeshi Yamamoto.

"Sorry." Yamamoto smiled softly: "This time I can't wait until you are mentally prepared for the prison temple, and then listen to the answers she gave us in order."

Yamamoto's knocking hand landed on the door of Suzuna's room.The door of Suzuna's room was unexpectedly unlocked.

squeak-

A ray of light came out from the room, and the door that blocked all the secrets was opened in front of Yuji and Yamamoto.
