Chapter 414:
After getting Chizuru to reveal her true feelings, Mini is overjoyed. For
her, hearing those words is more than enough reason to celebrate. Moved to
tears and basking in her victory, Mini begins to deeply analyze Chizuru's
psychology.
From an objective perspective, Mini sees Chizuru as a high school girl who
knows nothing about love and simply lets herself be carried away by
Kazuya's constant advances. Furthermore, upon noticing how incredibly cute
she is, Mini herself is fascinated, thinking: "That level of beauty
combined with such innocence!? That's cheating!". Without a doubt,
Chizuru's combination of beauty and purity turns out to be completely
overwhelming.
For a moment, Mini becomes thoughtful and wonders if Chizuru is actually
too good for Kazuya, even doubting if she herself has fallen in love with
the young woman. However, she quickly shakes her head to brush those
thoughts away, since, for her, seeing those two become a couple is one of
the greatest events she must witness before she dies.
After that, Mini teases Chizuru for overthinking things and being so
stubborn. In response, Chizuru laments her own uselessness, admitting that
once she decides to treasure a relationship, she ends up overthinking it
and dragging out the situation unfairly.
Seeing Chizuru's cowardice, Mini decides to give her a reality check and
exclaims: "Justice and ideals are two very different things!". This sparks
a light argument between the two, where they exchange words about being
stubborn, having that kind of nature, and refusing to listen. Finally,
Mini sighs in resignation and calls her an "Iron Woman".
In the middle of the conversation, Chizuru mentions that Kazuya told her
he would wait for her for ten or even twenty years. With sincerity, she
confesses: "I think it would be wonderful if we could date because we
truly love each other. But since I still can't figure it out, I want to
take refuge in Kazuya's kindness a little longer".
After saying goodbye, Chizuru is immediately approached by some guys, but
she coldly rejects them. For her part, Mini, worried about the
psychological shadow that Chizuru's father left on her, continues her
analysis and wonders how one can reach a state of absolute love without a
single doubt, and if that day will truly arrive. In addition, Mini reminds
herself that she must keep the matter regarding Ruka an absolute secret.
Meanwhile, as Chizuru walks back home alone, she remembers the words
Grandma Sayuri told her during her last visit to the hospital.
