I Don't Know Which is Love ch48

A hole has been left in her heart
that only love can fill.

...

Kaoru-senpai...
Why did she have to go abroad...?

!!

Kaoru-senpai!?

Sorry. I'm not really good
with this kind of skinship, so could you please stop?

Watanabe-san!?
Kunimasa-senpai turned her room over to me,
so I'll be your roommate starting today, Soraike-san.

Sorry...
I thought you were Kaoru-senpai and...

She always used to hug you, huh...
Sh-She was just sniffing my scent...

Kunimasa-senpai
asked me to support you in your studies,
but I can't be her replacement.
So please don't hug me.

Why am I the last to know...?
Why me...?

Uuuh~
So she didn't tell you her. You could've just given her an answer.
I can't just go abroad with her!!

I always thought that people who love each other start dating,
and that dating would make everybody happy... but
I was wrong...

Huh!? Well duh.
Love is just an emotion. If that was all you needed for things to go well,
we wouldn't have dating apps or marriage consultation bureaus.
For starters, it's only while you're a student that you don't have to think about long term relationships or specs.
She's right...

Well, we too
are still just students...
Uuuh.

Did you like Kunimasa-senpai that much?
Uuh...

I did.
I loved Kaoru-senpai...
so much~

What to do at times like these...
As someone aiming to become a counsellor, I'd like to give you an answer, but...

Just this once, I'll lend you a shoulder to cry on.
That's about the most I can do for you.

Uwaaahn!
Kaoru-senpai!!

Uuuh~

...
Ahaha
Second semester.

Are you still taking orders?

Hah

Mei-chan!
Did you come to see me?
I'm so happy!

p10

One hot latte, please...
Hahaha
You don't sound very cheerful.

Lemme guess.

Without Kaoru-kun around,
you're feeling lonely?
!?

Last orders.
Tell me all about it.

p11

How do you like our new autumn product? Crispy pumpkin pie.
Goes well with the latte, right?
Feel better now?
Yes. It was delicious...

I'm guessing you knew about Kaoru-senpai going abroad too, huh, Minato-senpai...
She told be during the beach trip. Told me to take care of you.

Chiharu-san asked me the same thing.
I can't be letting you have a sad face, Mei-chan.

I want you to look my way
and smile.
!?

p12

Am I that unreliable...?
You're just loved. Wanting the person you love to be happy
is human nature.

But...
I can't be happy.
In fact, there's a huge hole in my heart...

Minato-senpai.
How do I
fill this hole?

p13

I want to fill it.
You're the only one
I can ask, Minato-senpai...

p14

That's good... I can hear your cries echoing from the abyss of your soul.
Very well.
Let's do it, you and I.

I've finished the script for my Little Sis Who Loves Her Onee-chan situation voice drama!!
Let's look down the abyss of the arts together!!
...

p15

I'm sure immersing yourself in the arts will fill up that heart of yours!
...

...
Ah!?
Stop!
Don't read it now!
R-Read it at home!
It's embarrassing...
Aah, I can't take it!

p16

Ear-cleaning<3 Sleeping together<3 A sweet first night living with a little stepsister who loves her onee-chan.
Ah<3
"Welcome Home<3 My Beloved Onee-chan<3<3"
Gwah!
She read it...
Aah...

You have things you still want to do here.
That's why you turned down me, the great Kaoru-sama.

Kaoru-senpai, is this...
Is this what I want to do?

p17

Minato-senpai
laid her heart bare to write this script for me...
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!

Take responsibility and live for yourself,
Soraike.

I guess I should,
Kaoru-senpai.

p18

Minato-senpai!
I'll do it!

I'll read this Welcome Home<3 My Beloved Onee-chan<3<3 script
with everything I have!
Urk!

This is what Mei should do...
