Liella!'s secret deep talk ♡ The final pairing is these two! They're together all the time, but is there anything they'd like to say to each other all over again…!?

Question 1: What do you like about each other?

Mei: "W-What the heck kind of question is that? It's not like I can just answer something like suddenly…"

Shiki: "I can. I like everything about Mei."

Mei: "You answered way too fast! And that's way too vague! What do you mean, everything...!?"

Shiki: "Everything means everything. I even like the way your face turns red and you panic like this. I like your beautiful kitten-like eyes. And I like how you're incredibly hardworking, but you're too shy to let anyone see how hard you work."

Mei: "S...S-S-S-S-Stop...!?"

Shiki: "But what I like most is how, when you're with me, you're just yourself, completely natural."

Mei: "Natural?"

Shiki: "For the longest time, there was never anyone around me. And even when there was, for some reason they'd either be scared of me or constantly walk on eggshells around me. No one was ever themselves with me. But Mei is different. Even when she's with me, she smiles while fiddling with her phone, eats snacks, and gets crumbs everywhere."

Mei: "H-Hey, what're you exposing me for!?"

Shiki: "Fufu. And then you share those snacks you're eating with me too. It's so casual. So ordinary. I love spending time with Mei like that."

Mei: "You're just as natural as I am, aren't you? When you're with me, you're either completely absorbed in some complicated book, messing around with some weird experiment, or staring at bugs with your eyes sparkling. It's just… pure Wakana Shiki."

Shiki: "Yes. I'm aware."

Mei: "W-Well… I'm the same… People are always scared of me too. So the way you're still so relaxed and free around me… I appreciate that, or something… I guess I could say that's one of the things I l, L-L-Like about you..."

Shiki: "! I'm happy…"

Mei: "H-Hey, why're your eyes getting all watery!? Don't tell me you're losing your cool now!?"

Shiki: "Heart rate, body temperature, rising."

Mei: "Hey, wait, wait!"

Shiki: "It's Mei's fault..."

Question 2: Is there anything you'd like to say to each other again now?

Shiki: "Something I want to say…"

Mei: "Now? All over again?"

Mei & Shiki: "......"

Mei: "Oi. Staring at me isn't gonna get the message across. Say something."

Shiki: "Mei too. You could say something."

Mei: "I mean… even if you ask what I want to say all over again, nothing really comes to mind. Whenever I've got something to say, I just say it right then and there."

Shiki: "Agreed."

Mei: "Oh. But I bet there's one thing you've been wanting to say to me, right?"

Shiki: "Hm? What's that?"

Mei: " 'Let's hurry to the school idol club room and practice together'. Am I wrong?"

Shiki: "Fufu. As expected of you, Mei."

Mei: "Well, I was thinking the exact same thing. So, c'mon, let's go practice!"
