Hisamori's face was bright red as she looked back and forth between me and Hime.
"Huh? Huh? Huh? Ah, well, umm... I was thinking you two seemed really close, so that's how close you are!?"
"That's not true. Hisamori-san, please calm down and let's talk--"
"Hyaaa! This is terrible... Ozora-senpai, I'm sorry. If it's true, I don't think I can deny the rumors!"
Oh, come on!
Why are there so many people around me who won't listen to me?
"Hahee. It's a love story between two people with an age difference. And a love story between a genius and an ordinary person with a large social class difference, it makes my heart flutter...!"
And for some reason, Hisamori seemed to be having a little fun.
It's strange. The general reaction to lolicons that I know from society is "disgust," but Hime, Hisamori, and these girls are too kind.
Well, I'm not a lolicon to begin with.
"And the fact that the other person is a little girl is just crazy! It's so full of a sense of immorality, I can't stand it."
What is this kid saying?
I no longer understand the overwhelming feeling of guilt.
Because it's normal and common sense...right?
It's definitely not that I'm weird.
But, being here, I couldn't help but feel like I was the only one who was strange.
"Yes, yes, this is one way of doing things. I'll be rooting for you! I wish you happiness."
"Yes, thank you. I truly want to be happy."
"Well then, I'll make sure to tell everyone this! 'It's safe because it's pure love'!"
"He's definitely out - but he's gone already!?"
There was no time to deny it.
Hisamori passed away like a storm. Apparently, he was a member of a strong track and field club in junior high school, so he was a fast runner.
Also, perhaps as a remnant of her athletic background, her voice is very clear and loud.
So, naturally... it seems my classmates were listening as well.
"Oh, hey. It seems he was a lolicon after all!?"
"Seriously? I knew it was suspicious."
"But Hime-chan seems happy, so isn't that okay?"
"That's right. We're the type that likes to watch over people warmly."
"Cross-cross-cross-cross-cross-cross"
But everyone was very positive. They were so accepting of diversity.
Only the last one is normal...or is it just that his murderous intent is fueled by jealousy? There was a guy in my class who seemed like a lolicon, so it might be him. But now, those irritating emotions have calmed down, which is strange.
Perhaps it's because Hime, the person involved, is in favor of it.
Hisamori and most of my classmates, with a few exceptions, were looking at me with lukewarm eyes. Their gazes were so gentle that it almost felt like they were giving me a blessing.
"Now we're officially approved ♪ Youhei, don't hold back, feel free to be spoiled, okay? Lolicons find solace in having young children as their 'mothers,' right?"
"I don't know anything about that area..."
"Hehe. You're still embarrassed in front of other people. Then let's do it when it's just the two of us."
This is a problem. Maybe because no one is denying it, it's hard for me to deny it either.
Also, I was worried that if I rejected her too strongly, it would hurt Hime, so I never said anything forcefully.
W-what should I do?
Will this just lead to me becoming a lolicon?
Just as I was starting to worry, something happened.
It was lunchtime, and just like yesterday, I was about to head to the principal's office with Hime.
"Hey, hey? I have something to talk to you about."
The person who came to the classroom where Hime and I belonged was Hijiri-san.
With her usual relaxed smile... Hmm? No, her expression seems a little different?
He seemed slightly angry, and a little scary.
She then walked up to me and whispered in my ear so Hime wouldn't hear.
"--I won't hand over my cute little sister to a lolicon, okay?"
...Oh, good!
I was actually a little happy that there were people who were angry at lolicons.
