"Hehehe, hoora, Aoi, your dead end is only desperation!!!"

  Even though we were only two rooms away, I could still hear their enthusiasm and them having fun at the Omega party. I wondered what the Omega party would be like, as I had lost the qualification to enter this seemingly fun party. Contrary to their energetic and union atmosphere, this room was like a dead end. After all, in Suiri's circle of friends, Aoi was the fuel igniting the atmosphere with her silly brain circuit. As long as Aoi was there, everyone unknowingly got familiar, and the awkward atmosphere wasn't in our dictionary.

  "..."

  "..."

  "..."

  'Um, what's about the Alpha party?'. Unfortunately, we didn't have any topic to talk about. Besides, Sakura wasn't a genuine 'alpha' type. Only Moeni has the same gender as me, an Alpha female.

  Not to mention, Moeni almost stuck to Aoi over time, like a baby sister. Therefore, the time we have interacted in the past can only be counted on our fingers.

  Perhaps, just like other people, I had difficulty finding my peace to sleep in a strange pce. Without overthinking, I excused myself to leave the room to get some air.

  Perhaps the other two also found it cringy to have a conversation. As a result, each of them was in their own world with their smartphone.

  The Hoshiyuki mansion was a little smaller than mine, but it didn't matter to me to walk through this long road.

  *Step, step, step*

  The darkness has surrounded every matter, only the moonlight guiding creatures to have their way. I kept continuing to walk, step by step, without any specific destination. Following the light blindly, I just felt...

  Lonely...

  *Sigh*

  My heart was burned out inexplicably as my brain couldn't think straight, when it came to Sui-chan, the woman I loved. Unknowingly, I had arrived at Sui-chan's favorite pce. The special pce where Sui-chan created many masterpieces y in front of my eyes. Because this pce was a little special, it didn't get locked or have any security measures.

  "Love is to understand and help each other"

  I murmured in a low voice. I had my problems, so Suiri did.

  This afternoon, if it weren't for Aoi's quick changing topic, Sui-chan would've been weird and left out of this party. Her emotionless face has always been her main concern. Moreover, living together with her for more than 2 weeks, I've noticed that there was no action from her second personality.

  Being Sui-chan's lover must pass the test of her second personality. Unfortunately, that girl never gave me a chance to dig deeper, and even isoted me if it were necessary.

  "Isn't she too overprotective?"

  I couldn't help but compin. However, Suiri's mom must have known something in the past that led to the birth of this personality. Waiting for Suiri to tell me, I must've waited for another two years. To be honest, six years of one-sided love have ruined my patience. I must think of another way to break those ice walls.

  "Mah, it can't be helped because I love her"

  Because I have been in this mansion many times, Hoshiyuki's servants just took a look at me and didn't bother me anymore. Anyway, just a blink of an eye, I'd already arrived at a familiar pce. The cradle of many masterpieces of the famous musician Hoshiyuki Suiri was in front of my eyes. This building wasn't locked, so I could easily push the door open to step in.

  "huh?"

  I didn't have any idea of the time when Suiri was alone with Sakura. Did they py musical instruments together? Did they establish a sure-win retionship that I couldn't even enter? However, I didn't see anything strange about their retionship. It meant I was safe, right?

  "It has been 6 years..."

  Giving Sui-chan's piano a look, I slowly approached and touched her piano in reminiscence. Everything about Sui-chan was Music. And...My love also started with Music. Perhaps, from Sui-chan's point of view, I was just a helpless child being rescued by her beautiful music, and my love was just my wishful thinking.

  "Lemme see..."

  ???~The combo chords synchronized to the perfection...??~, then, drop to the lower pitch and a string of messy chords without following the rule of music. This was how 'Nobody's perfect' was born to give me the courage to move on, facing my lovely parents and expressing my helpless self.

  While pying, I just hoped that nobody would think of me as an Idiot disturbing others' sleep at night with my Piano performance.

  "..."

  *Cp, cp, cp*

  "..."

  An appuse for my performance echoed in the middle of the night. 'Please, don't think I'm crazy!!!'. I prayed inside my heart, trembly turning around to see who it was.

  "Sui-chan!"

  My eyes widened, seeing my crush listening to my performance. It was both relief and anxiety to my fragile heart.

  "Um..."

  "You can't sleep?"

  Receiving her nod, I gently led her to take a seat on the balcony in front of the well-care garden.

  "It's quite nostalgic to hear this piece again"

  Sui-chan hugged her knees, leaning her beautiful face on them. Her smooth, long hair scattered around her face, painting an Ethereal beauty from another world. Her eyes kept locked on me, making my heart pound. Woa, what to do, what to do? According to our agreement with Sakura-san, today should've been our date, but you knew it. My date was stolen by this group study.

  Calm down, Charlotte. Otherwise, her minimal action would make you think you had a chance for her.

  But...The moonlight, this culprit, even beautified her already beautiful face and grateful figure. How could an adolescent Alpha like me stand it?

  "Hahaha...After all, this piece has a lot of memories with me"

  Scratching my head, I hoped to ease my awkwardness in front of her.

  "Char-chan..."

  "Thank you for loving me and for withstanding my unreasonable behaviour"

  "My selfishness has caused you a lot of trouble..."

  I heard a soft murmur. I could assure the girl in front of me now was Suiri instead of the scary Suiri.

  "Nothing, nothing...As long as you're happy and satisfied with your decision"

  "Char-chan, you're too good for me while I'm hurting you"

  "It isn't fair, is it?"

  Her voice now was like I was listening to ASMR streaming of those famous Vtubers. To be honest, I wanted to get angry at her for a long time, but this fire was extinguished mercilessly by her innocence.

  Moreover, I felt like my ears were impregnated by her smooth voice. Was this my privilege when chatting with Sui-chan in the middle of the night?

  "Eh! Sui-chan!!!"

  Sui-chan has attacked me with 'Leaning on me and Sleep'. Somehow, it was extremely effective against me.

  "Geez~"

  This girl...I didn't know what to say about her. However, I could get it somehow. Perhaps my pheromone had helped her ease her uncomfortable feelings. This was just my wishful thinking because she slept so soundly on my shoulders.

  "The protagonist can't sleep due to the strange pce. Hence, she lost herself in the huge mansion of the Hoshiyuki family. Instead of the original music room, it's another building isoted among the flowers and a small ke. Being curious about this strange pce, the protagonist can't subdue her human nature and breaks into the building"

  "Weird...The protagonist finds a piano, which has accompanied the extraordinary heroine to the top of her career. She can't help but be itchy to touch the piano. Unfortunately, without any knowledge, she can py clumsily without any basic knowledge. Yet, this event has caught the eye of our heroine. She begins to teach, gently guiding the protagonist to find her own melody"

  "The retionship between them gets closer than ever"

  "This is the narrative of the chapter 2, Hoshiyuki Suiri's route"

  Looking at this intimate pair, I should've been happy to see this. However, why did I feel like I had lost something?

  Was my decision to match Charlotte with Suiri correct?

  I didn't have any ideas.

  The Moon in the sky, can you tell me that I'm on the right path?
