What do you want...?
Don't "what do you want" me~

We were having lunch together today,
and your name came up. She was worried about the deadline.

Then she should've come to get it herself.
Uh... Well...
Then spit it out.
Uh, y-yeah... You're right!
It's just... she says you're kind of hard to approach, Natsume-chan.

Hmph. So you came in her place?
Well, I can see why she'd be intimidated by my aura.

"Aura" isn't quite the word... You're always so on edge.
And the way you glare... I think people find you scary.

Oh, give it a rest. That's part of my aura too.
A-Anyway!
She seems really worried, so just hand it in. Okay?

All right, already...
What was the assignment again?

She said it was math.
I'll hand it in tomorrow...
Did you forget it...?
Right. I forgot. To bring it. To school.
Honestly... Then make absolutely sure you bring it tomorrow, okay?
I'll let the class rep know you said so.

Yeah, yeah... Still, you really are too nice for your own good.
Huh? Me?
Yeah. Even when we first met, Kanata was one hundred percent in the wrong,
but you were the one apologizing.

You kept smiling and acting harmless. I figured you were just a pushover.
A pushover...? That's kind of harsh~
But... maybe I was.
Kanata was always a whirlwind... and she shone so brightly.

It's not that I was holding back...
But maybe I'd gotten used to standing a step behind her.

That's not exactly cool of me, huh?
Even so... you kept the band going.
Huh?
You were too softhearted and too nice to leave it alone.
You figured you had to be the one to keep millsage together this time, right?

That's why you kept working on Nagi and Houka,
and kept the band going even with just the three of you.

I think that's more than enough to be proud of.
...!
millsage is what it is today because you didn't give up.
Don't you forget that.
Don't you forget that.
N-Natsume-chaaaan...!
But! From now on, no more smiling and going along with everything!
If you're aiming to win Comet Rising,
then you need to carry yourself like it!

Hehe... Honestly, I can't tell
whether you're praising me or scolding me~
