The school day came to a close with the ringing of the bell. Speaking of which, I wonder how I should use my free time.

I wonder if I should just hang out with Camellia and Iris, or should I return home. 

But it’s complicated. Camellia and Iris seemed to have something planned today, which is odd, because I’ve never seen them do something just the two of them. I wonder if they have a secret relationship. . . No, surely not. . .

Regardless, that removes them from the list.

And then there is going back to the dorm. But due to Lily’s odd behaviour this morning, I don’t have the courage to return to the dorms. Is there a safe refuge anywhere?

. . .It was then I remembered there was! Doesn’t the student council room fit that criteria? After school President Margaret will be there, and maybe tea time.

If I’m going to go, I need to go soon. I’m worried they may run out of sweets.

“Good evening. Pardon the intrusion.”

“Welcome. Oh, you are the first year Shiran-san. Thank you for helping us the other day.”

“Yeah. Umm. . .Mind if I hang out here?”

“Of course. You are always welcomed.”

When I opened the door to the student council room, I found Cosmos-san sitting on the sofa.

She welcomed me with that refreshing smile. Yeah, this senior is still cool.

. . .But. I can’t find the important president?

“Ah, Margaret seems to have something important to do, so she can’t come to the student council room today.”

Can she read minds?

Well it’s not like her life revolves around me. So it’s natural she would have to do something else.

“Well it’s unfortunate, but if you want, you could join me for some tea.”

“. . .That sounds great!”

“Ahaha, what a lively response.”

Oops, I wonder if it’s bad that my glutinous side was on display. 

Because I want those sweets.

But having her as my tea companion? It’s a little exciting.

“You are so easy to understand. Hahaha.”

“Uuu. . .”

Scuffle cakes were lined up on the table with the tea set, perhaps trying to meet my expectations. 

As expected of the student council room. So well prepared!

I expressed my thanks, and happily sat down in front of Cosmos-san.

Well, then. Time to dig in.

“That’s right. May you listen to my reminiscing as entertainment during our tea time?”

“Old story? Sounds good to me.”

She told me a story as I stuffed my face. These souffles are so delicious, so I’ll stick with you for any topic.

“I used to be raised as a boy.”

Cosmos-san then began to tell her story.

It seemed to be a heavy one for such a light meal. . .

It was quite an interesting story.

Born to a family that wished for a boy. Forced to act as a man. How she met President Margaret. And the story of a girl who changed her life. . .

“That girl, she said I was cute. Even complimented my prized hair. I was really happy.”

“*Munch Munch*. That’s so nice.”

“That’s why when I parted from her. I wonder. “Am I a woman? Or should I continue to act like a man?””

*Much munch munch*

I can understand her feelings. I’m a girl named Shiran, but am actually just a yuri loving boy.

At the beginning, I wondered if I should act and behave like a girl to fit her image. However, I didn’t know the character Shiran. After all, she was just a background character. So I felt like it would just be an awkward attempt to try and make a poor imitation. That’s why I decided to live life freely. . . and So far, I spent my time without getting caught, so I think it was the best decision.

Besides, as a gentleman watching over Yuri, I never intended to interfere excessively with this world.

“So that girl. . .what did she say?”

“Oh that’s right. . .Shiran-san, what kind of answer would you give?”

“Eh?”

“Well, I’m just a little curious.”

Hmm, her eyes seem to have become sharper. I was caught off guard by the sudden question. However it’s not a difficult one to answer.

“Cosmos-san is Cosmos-san, Don’t let others decide for you. You know yourself best. So now matter how you live. . .I think Cosmos-san knows themself best.”

That is what I answered.

I think I answered that well. However her face was frozen when she heard that.

D-Did I step on a landmine? After tens of seconds passed, Cosmos-san finally opened her mouth.

“. . .Shiran-san. As I thought, You were the girl back then.”

Hmmmm? W-What is she talking about?

“I’m sorry Shiran-san. This was just a test, but. . .My intuition seemed to have been right! You said the same thing that girl said to me. Plus you look just like her. There aren’t many girls like that. So I have no doubt in my mind, that it is you.”

I met Cosmos-san before “Flower of Eden”. No, she is talking about the real previous Shiran, before I possessed her. . .
But wait a minute. The real Shiran that Cosmos-san met, said the exact same thing as the current Shiran said? Is that even possible!?

. . .Owww. My head is throbbing. A dull pain suddenly shot within the inside of my head. Weird, there is a massive uncomfortable feeling. It’s like it’s wriggingly it’s way back from within.

“Ahh, I finally met you. I finally met Shiran-san.”

“Hhh. . .Nhhh.”

“. . .Shiran-san?”

Cosmos-san was delighted by the reunion, she was saying something, but I don’t know. The pain, the pain. 

She reached out to me, but I didn’t have the strength to reach out. I brought my head down and held it tight, swinging it side to side. Trying to back away and get it out. Just stop it!

Immediately there was a banging sound, as I hit the wall.

“That’s dangerous. . .!”

I heard her yell as that severe pain ran through my brain.

Ah. . .this is no good.

While my whole body weakened, my consciousness was fading. I fell to my feet.

So is this it? I hit my head onto the wall. However just before I lost consciousness, I felt unexpectedly calm. It then went to black.
