Watching Ais, who was in a daze, Tsukasa didn’t wait for her to talk. Instead, he explained to her calmly and gently since it should be her first time doing something like this. After all, she had a “communication disorder.” With her beauty, most people would take the initiative to talk with her, and she had never taken the initiative to speak with someone.
In other words, Tsukasa should be Ais’s, first man.
“Usually, the feeling of wanting to become stronger isn’t a bad thing. On the contrary, it is a good thing since it can become part of your motivation. However…”
“However…?” Ais couldn’t look away from Tsukasa and kept staring at him, afraid to miss his words.
“However, it has its own disadvantages .”
“…Disadvantage?” Ais frowned and showed confusion on her face.
“The feeling of wanting to become stronger is without a doubt a good thing. If you can become stronger, it is all good, but what if you can’t become stronger?”
Ais felt another arrow piercing her heart. “If I can’t become stronger?”
“It’ll bring you a feeling of frustration. You’ll feel impatient and angry with yourself, wondering why you can’t become stronger, especially when you start to compare yourself with others,” Tsukasa said.
“…Then what should I do?” Ais felt the young man in front of her could read her like an open book, and at the same time, she knew he had a way to solve her problem.
“Take a break, try to learn something, and meditate,” Tsukasa said.
“…Take a break? Try to learn something? And meditate?” Ais frowned again since there was no way she could take a break when she still had something she had to do.
“I know that it feels unacceptable to take a break, but you need to calm your mind. Try to ease the impatience in your heart. Try to go out with your friends, eat delicious food, or read a good book or something.” Tsukasa could see Ais couldn’t accept his advice, so he said, “But if you can’t do that, try to learn something like a skill or a knowledge since it can make you stronger and enhance your survival.”
