Uzuki tilts his head curiously at the top of his lungs.
I had wanted to see him so badly, and he was in front of me.
But now that I've met him, I've got a shameful feeling that I don't want him to see me in such a miserable state.
'Stop it, Uzuki ... stop it already. I don't want you to look at me like you're expecting me to... don't expect me to do anything... I'm not the great guy you expect me to be... ...I'm just a normal, ordinary person who can't do anything...
Mr. Seya........um, what's going on.......?
Uzuki looked at me in deep wonder.
That sparkling gaze - it's painful.
'It's impossible for me to perform a miracle and turn things around like the heroes of the story, but it's not very possible. I'm a fake....
So stop looking at me like that, full of glittering expectations........
Don't try to push me back with hopeful words........
But I couldn't get my feelings across at all.
Uzuru is still gazing at me with the utmost trust in me.
I'm not going to be able to say that I'm a good person. I'm sure you're not the only one. This is a decoction of the C-class medicinal herb Gekkasou.
Uzuki said and handed me a bamboo tube.
I think we went to get the 'moonflower plant' together when we first met," he said.
It was the first day of my otherworldly reincarnation, right after we met.
The density of this day since my reincarnation in another world is so dense that it seems like it was a long time ago already.......
I brought the parts I didn't use then that were left exactly as they were, so I brought them with me to see if this would happen. But it was a great decision to bring it with me! Come on, here you go. As I'm sure I've explained before, 'Moonflower Grass' has a slight but nourishing and tonic effect!
Uzuki gently wrapped my hand in his and held it in his, but he wouldn't take it for any length of time.
No it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay...
I shook off the hand, the thought that was put into it - in vain.
Ah--
The rolled bamboo tube makes a con, a cologne and a nice, useless sound.
''........Seya-san?''
Uzuki makes a strange face, not knowing what happened.
As I said before.... I'm not the great guy you think I am... so I want you to stop expecting me to be a good guy... ...
No, that's not true, Mr. Seya is very, very awesome! You can solve anything! On the face of it, I have great faith in you, Mr. Seya!
'No, Uzuki, it's not. It's not my power or anything. All the powers I've used are borrowed and fake--just a cheat.
Fake? Cheat? Is it?
Uzuki nodded his head adorably again - just in time for the occasion - and I confess everything to him.
Oh yeah, I just happened to get this kind of cheat by accident and got lucky! You think you can do anything with it and get all tenacious!
Mr. Sayre?
'But the real me is helplessly just a normal human being! When an insurmountable wall comes up, I stumble, and when I feel like dying, I'm too scared to give up. I'm not that great person that Udzuki thinks I am... I'm just an ordinary, ordinary person with nothing to do but dress up on the outside in fake clothes...
Mr. Sayre....
Yeah. That's right. The me Uzuki knows is not the real me. I'm a fake me, painted with borrowed and fake (cheat) material...
