>Home 22: I am who I am
>Blurb: The last moments of the date...
>Thank you for today,
>Yuu.
>Sidebar: The female-role practice date is finally coming to an end. A wistful parting between Kazuki and the wig...
>Did you get a better grasp on how a heroine is supposed to feel?
>(Mmm...)
>...Maybe.
>When you're on the stage,
>it's easier to see the audiences faces and reactions than you might think.
>Lately,
>I feel like I've been acting the way I thought people would want to see me act.
>But, really...
>It's alright for me to perform the characters the way I feel is best.
>Even if I stumble along the way.
>After all, I've learned
>that there may be people who'll grow to love it by the end.
>...Still, if you're ever troubled...
>Please think back
>on our date together.
>I'm not so far gone that I'd need to rely on you in the actual performance,
>Yuu!
>Eheheh...
>I-it looks like...
>Kazu-nee and the transfer student are having a great time...
>(I feel weird watching this...)
>It's a far cry from yesterday...
>Are they going to keep this up even when they get home...?
>How am I supposed to react to that?
>...I'll do my best to pass that audition.
>But, even if I fail,
>I'm still going to be me.
>...Yeah!
>Just what I'd expect from you, Kazuki-san!
>(Heh...)
>You really are such an idiot,
>Yuu...
>You're the one who thinks that way.
>That's why you managed to make me change myself.
>Just a normal person like you,
>who's made it through constant failures and countless disappointments...
>...Yuu.
>Yes?
>They're gonna smooch!?
>St-
>Stop it!
>Ka...
>Kazuki-san?
>Um,
>You're kind of close...
>Yuu...
>That 'accident' from earlier...
What an adorable cheerleader
>That was...
>My first kiss.
>I can hardly just pretend it never happened.
>Ah...
>Oh...
>S-sorry, I guess that was rude of me...
>What did she say!?
>Well, then...
>The time has come
>to be a prince again.
>I'll head out to do some practicing.
>I'm afraid the date will have to end here.
>(...Ah!)
>Um...
>It was me, Mikadono KazukI, all along!
>I...
>I'll keep the bath warm for you until you get back!
>(Haah~)
>Looks like she's the same old Kazu-nee again.
>You're wrong...
>I don't know why,
>but it feels like she's...
>Changed, somehow.
>...You think so?
>Sorry I'm late!
>I lost track of time!
>I'll start working on dinner right away!
>Gee,
>I thought you didn't have anything to do on Sundays.
>Oh,
>I, uh...
>...Welcome home,
>Yuu-kun. / Yuu.
>Welcome home...
>Welcome home...
>Welcome home...
>Yuu...
>Yuu-kun...
>...C-
>Could you say that one more time?
>(Huuh?)
>I-it was just a normal greeting!
>S-so this is...
>A normal family greeting...
>Man, looks like we flipped his "family switch" again.
>Jeez, this guy...
>He's supposed to be MY supporter, too...!
>Sidebar: Could this switch to first-name basis be the signal that starts the competition...?
Thanks for reading!
>Here's one last look for now.
My cute wife Miwa, who does not look like a boy.
