CLOCK ZEROのりったん

[lenneax]

始終優しさに溢れていた終夜√。 見方によっては一番泣けるキャラ設定なのかもしれません。 見た目からの期待値が低かっただけに感動が大きかった気が… まさかのダークホース。

母親に優しいほんわか息子。 思いの外いいものです（しみじみ）

[lenneax]

トラの未来エンドに関しては… 主人公ちゃんの為に血塗れ・消えるという歪んだ形の自己犠牲。 何年経っても鳥肌ものとしか例えようがありません。

Side Story（或いはAfter Story）では安定した二人の関係が拝められる傍、 やはりトラの家族問題はそう簡単に解決出来るものではないと発覚。 本編が終わっても困難な未来が待ち受けている所、 他の未来√に比べて割と不憫な扱いではあります（笑）

[lenneax]

理一郎の場合は断然未来√が好きでした。 すれ違いもここまで来れば国宝級でしょうに…

現実では似過ぎている二人が結ばれるのはやはり難しいものでしょうか。 そしてそう思える自分はやはり擦れた大人になった訳でしょうか。 だからこそのノベルゲー逃避行ですが（笑）

“Mm... So it’s morning already. Good morning. That, after I awake, your face is the first thing I see, is an unparalleled happiness.”

Guided by the sound of my alarm clock, echoing regularly, I open my eyelids. When I smile and say that to her, who is right within my field of vision, she, embarrassed, smiled back at me.

“...Good morning. I thought the same thing. And that this kind of feels like the lap of luxury.”

“Haha, I see.”

The fact that we harbored the same feelings also became joy and filled my heart. Suddenly, she reached out an arm and turned off the alarm--then, for some reason, stared hard at the clock.

“Hey... This clock isn’t broken, right? The time is earlier than usual.”

“Yes. I changed the settings.”

While my love for her intensified from the way she tilted her head to the side, I gently pulled on her arm and brought her back to lie on the bed again.

“This clock lets you set two alarms. I set the first to just a bit earlier than when we usually wake up, and the second to the very last second before we have to get ready.”

“?? Why?”

“...I wanted to spend my mornings with you a bit more peacefully, like we are now.”

As I spoke, I smoothly stroked her cheek. Maybe she agreed, because with a wry smile etched onto her face, she placed her own hand over the one I had against her cheek.

“Haha, I think I’ll end up having a hard time getting out of bed.”

She smiled happily. And, just from that, I felt today become yet another irreplaceable day.

“...Hey, what are you looking at? You’ve got to be tired of seeing me like this by now. ...Or maybe you’re conscious of me?”

That morning, when I returned to the living room after taking a shower, I was struck by an awfully ardent gaze. When I threw some teasing words asking if she was preoccupied by how the front of my shirt revealed my chest, she quickly turned her face away, looking mortified.

“Th-that’s not it. ...Uh, it’s just, I was thinking how you’ve become rugged while I wasn’t paying attention...”

“Isn’t it a bit late for this?”

“And when we were children, I was the taller one.”

“It’d be a problem if I was shorter than you at this age. I’d be pretty depressed.”

“That’s not what I meant... I had a dream of when we were kids.”

Now I understood; so that’s why she seemed strange. While feeling terribly let-down, I approached her and peered into her face.

“Don’t tell me you prefer the old me.”

“I won’t. Including... I do think that you’ve become a man, but you haven’t changed either.”

The important parts haven’t changed. The rest of her words took me by surprise. --At the same time, I felt such happiness that I couldn’t quite hide it, and a smile came to my face.

“...So you don’t deny that you’re conscious of me as a man, right?”

When, to hide my feelings, I asked her a question I knew the answer to, she again looked mortified.

“Of course I am, idiot.”

And it really became difficult to hide my smile at the words she wove as she abruptly turned her face away. I put a hand to her chin and made her face me and gave her a kiss in return for how dear she was.

“Strangely, breakfasts that I eat with you seem to taste better than usual. ...I love you today as well.”

When I put my feelings into words while we were enjoying our after breakfast tea, her eyes went wide in surprise. Maybe she had come close to spitting her tea out because she had a small coughing fit.

“Wh-what? Why this all of a sudden?”

“I wanted to say it, so I said it; that’s all.

For some reason, she was glaring hard at me, as if on guard; I shrug at her. I can’t really talk, generally speaking, but isn’t there something wrong with being looked at suspiciously when you’ve tried to be honest about your feelings for once? I’m often told that my way of showing love is difficult to understand, so I put effort to fixing that daily, despite appearances. My brother often tells me that if I don’t want to break up with her, I should put in the effort to communicate my feelings.

“So? What about you?”

“Eh?”

“I gave you a passionate love confession this morning. It’s natural that you give me a response.”

“...Well, me too, of course.”

“Please say it properly.”

Her flustered face causes a mischievous feeling to well up inside of me, and a smile spontaneously comes to my face.

“...I love you too. Today, tomorrow, forever.”

At those words, delight and surprise assault me at the same time. Being surprised even though I’m the one who demanded she say it--being so delighted that it’s surprisingly, I’m twisted, like I thought. To gloss over her embarrassment, she looked down and drank her tea, and it took me several seconds to think of kissing those lips without giving her any warning.

Like always, I lose myself in her today as well.
