Opening up - 3

[Hero Club Room]

Anz: Utano-san, I more or less got why you said me and Mito-san were similar.

Uta: Eh?

Anz: I love Tamacchi-senpai. And this might sound conceited, but I think Tamacchi-senpai feels the same way.

Anz: But you know, Tamacchi-senpai is much more of a worrywart than she looks.

Uta: Who, Tamako-san?

Anz: It might be hard to see from afar, but she's always looking out for me.

Uta: ...

Anz: It makes me feel so happy and comfortable... That it makes me want to depend on her forever.

Anz: So perhaps Mito-san feels something similar towards you, Utano-san?

Uta: Mii-chan does? I-I wonder...

Anz: Utano-san, you're overprotective just like Tamacchi-senpai.

Uta: Uh...

Anz: Both me and Mito-san want to stay this way. But staying protected like this... is probably weakness.

Anz: Sometimes, I feel like I'm drunk on the feeling of being protected... And it feels very embarrassing.

Uta: Anzu-san, you're much more of a grown-up than I ever assumed.

Anz: Eh?

Uta: You can reflect on your own behaviour and analyse it so well, and talk about such an awkward topic with a stranger...

Anz: I wouldn't tell all this to a stranger. I told you because you're my comrade, Utano-san.

Uta: Anzu-san...

Anz: Since you thought we two were similar, then assume Mito-san feels the same and give her time.

Anz: I'm sure she will be fine.

Uta: I see... The weak one was actually me for not believing in Mii-chan's strength...
