7 Realized (English Version)

namegenku" again, I'm sorry, not good enough to write in English

The three of them talked further, reminiscing about the journey when the three of them followed the theater extracurricular which was almost closed, and their desperate efforts to defend the club.

Uchiwa and Zulen were the most speakers, and Arisa was back to being her usual good listener and mediator.

"At that time you said I was the ugliest among the three of us," Uchiwa said while pointing at Zulen. Zulen made no excuses and admitted that he said that to Uchi

Hah? didn't Zulen tell me that? Thought Arisa

Arisa felt that those words were uttered to her during the pantomime stage for the XII class farewell last year. His memory won't be wrong. Arisa is sure of that.

"It's not that I'm the one asking who is the ugliest of us, then you keep saying that I'm the worst while pointing like this. '' Arisa mimicked Zulen's actions at that time.

Zulen shook his head and smiled towards Arisa gently.

"No, I said Uchiwa were ugly and you were the most beautiful at that time."

since when Zulen saying something sweetly to me?" Arisa thought, but what was most disturbing was the cold feeling that appeared when Zulen's smile was etched.

Arisa didn't reply but smiled at Uchi, then spoke.

"At that time, Uchiwa was the most beautiful to me."

"No!" Argued both of Zulen and Uchiwa

Arisa froze even more.

"Since when, the two of them can talk together? '' Arisa remembers those who always argue and feel strange because of their compactness.

Arisa realized there was something that was up to make the nape of her neck sore. At the same time, Arisa was annoyed with the incident she had just seen. She's jealous, but she doesn't realize it.

"Oh..." Arisa make a long face 

They fell silent hearing Arisa's reaction but pretended not to be bothered by it. Shortly after that incident, they finished. their rushing to lift the warm corn stew, then that teenager served it to their friends.

"You guys just know how to eat, you all even don't know how difficult and how hard Arisa has been keeping the fire that you can eat the corn comfortably," Uchi said because he felt it was unfair

Because of Uchiwa's words, everyone looks at Arisa

"Huh?"

"Thank you Arisa.. sorry, we didn't know," replied one of Arisa's friends named Nurul so the others joined in.

How could you say you don't know Arisa's thoughts, which made her feel unappreciated?

"Er..., it's okay. I was helped by Zulen and Uchiwa too.", Arisa answered while clenching her fingers

Arisa who is not good at bringing up the situation becomes cheerful because the answer that matches her mood makes the air heavy.

The atmosphere melted when Mrs. Rose came. Arisa slowly sneaks out of the way when the atmosphere starts to get lively. He wanted to rest, and the crowded atmosphere was not the right atmosphere to relieve fatigue

Without inviting Uchi, Arisa sat behind the stairs of the inn, which were below the stairs leading to the second floor. The place where the girls sleep later.

The girl sat down, holding her kneecaps, then put her forehead. For some reason, she felt a little empty.

''aah.. this is an important moment why are you feel so sad like this. You should be able to take advantage of this event to get closer to Zulen" Arisa said to herself.

Instantly Arisa felt disheartened.

"What?" Arisa noticed something coiled around her neck.

Necklace? Since when did I wear this one? this is mine? Hah?

Arisa notices the shape of the eyelet attached to it, like something she is familiar with.

" Rubric's Cube? What the heck? Why are there so many things that don't match my memory..''

Arisa stopped talking, a statement uttered a while ago by herself, made her speechless.

Memories flashed through Arisa's mind, random...and undefined. Then what had just appeared seemed familiar to her.

Carefully she spoke with doubt mixed with anxiety

"Where am I? Arisa's instincts told her that the inn wasn't the one he had in mind. Arisa don't have time to think because she realized her name was being called repeatedly, Arisa who heard it answered.

"Yeah?" Arisa came out from hiding, finding someone that made her feel disappointed earlier.

The eyes of the two people met.

"Zulen, were you the one who called me?" Arisa asked while swallowing nervously. He's trying to act normally.

'' what are you doing here? I look for you, I tried to find you,'' explained Zulen

'' look for? I? You? Why?'' Arisa is in disbelief, her face looks stupid.

Zulen stares sharply at Arisa.

''Oh come on, this is a tent. Of course, i want to spend time with you''

Arisa become a statue, since when did Zulen be like this.

"What's wrong?" asked Zulen while showing a disapproving face, because Arisa's reaction hurt her feelings.

Again the recording of Arisa's memories flashed quickly which made Arisa feel dizzy.

In her memory, she was looking for Zulen, with a red face she greeted Zulen. but not a pleasant thing that she got but she hurting again by Zulen reaction. Zulen instead left with a very disappointing insult.

" Why are you asking if I'm okay or not?" Zulen said, A sharp gaze pierced Arisa's heart.

she wanted to answer but shyness made her back off.

"You don't have to be nice," he added, then left without looking back. Zulen left her without thinking what he did was wrong.

Arisa has heard those words many times but for some reason when Zulen says it, her chest hurts so much.

"What was that thing just now?" groaned Arisa holding back the pain in her head, she was in a daze.

"What are you doing?" Zulen approached Arisa who was suddenly pale.

"Oh! What are you doing?! Why are you suddenly paying attention to me! You've never been like this!" Arisa shouted when Zulen wanted to carry Arisa who almost fell.

Arisa said the same thing, the thing that Zulen always said before. Something hurtful .

After a while, the pain in Arisa's head subsided. Arisa froze trying to organize her messy memory. making Zulen worried.

This isn't right, Arisa thought. The three of us cooking the corn to completion is also a lie, we can't finish it. We left it, we cant do that together, because a classmate suddenly took the duty. We also can't finish our chat as we want.

"Is this real, or is that memory a fiction?" Arisa muttered

"You must be a fake Zulen too," Arisa said in a weak voice. She was really confused.

Zulen was silent. Then he decided to answer.

''What kind of speech is that? Of course, I'm Zulen''

"and I'm... your boyfriend"

"Hmm? my boyfriend?'' Arisa felt that she was listening wrong

"yes, I'm your boyfriend" zulen points at arisa

"My boyfriend" the index finger turned towards her

'' hah????''

A click is heard. One side of the cube on the eye of the Rubric-shaped necklace around Arisa's neck rotates.
