**"Minikui Ikimono"** is a side story in *Confession Executive Committee's* *Love Series*, and the third to focus on Misuzu High School student Karen Miura following "Heart no Shuchou" and "Otome-domo yo." This originated as a CHiCO with HoneyWorks song written as the opening theme for the 2021 *Otherside Picnic* anime adaptation, and the coupling track to their thirteenth single *Oni no Mori / Minikui Ikimono*.

The events of this song's MV eventually get covered in the fifteenth *Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu* light novel *Otome-domo yo.*

## Synopsis

A somewhat misanthropic loner girl, Chisa, is approached by Karen one day in high school, finding her interesting and beautiful. Chisa quickly gains a crush on Karen and comes to see her as an important friend, but once she sees that Karen is already in a relationship with a boy, she agonizes between her feelings as a friend and her feelings as someone in love. Karen's skinship, once accepted, eventually meets negative reception when Chisa's conflicting feelings hit their boiling point; she runs off to cool her head and sulk, but is thrown into more guilt when Karen comes to comfort her (though the latter doesn't know why the former is upset). Eventually, Chisa accepts supporting Karen romantically, but she gets back at her for her previous skinship by faking an attempt to kiss her.

## Lyrics

* Kanji
* Romaji

学校で友達の定義とか習わなかった

人間なんて面倒くさい生物

裏で何言われてるか分からないこの世界が

少し醜く私には映っている

思やりとエゴが天秤でゆらゆら

君と出会ってからゆらゆら

不法侵入 引っかき回す

誰でも良いわけじゃないのよ

共感も共犯も思わせぶりなの?

水を失った魚みたい

デリカシーもリテラシーも

必要ないのかも

求められたいばかりで醜い私

天秤は傾いた

友達へ

平等で仲間れとかない社会ってやつは

どこにあんのさ?天国か地獄か

服を着た猿が猫背で画面見て火をつける

笑い話さ

私もその一人だ

失望と期待が天秤でゆらゆら

君が触れた日からゆらゆら

不正アクセス 致命的エラー

友達って片思いじゃダメ?

忖度も束縛もめんどくさいでしょ?

寂しさ誤魔化す兎みたい

プライドと見栄と壁で

私はできてた

認められたいばかりで卑しい私

見られないくらいに真っ黒だ

自信作の壁が君のせいで崩れる

「ムカつくやつだな」

本当はぶっ壊されて嬉しかったんだ

誰でも良いわけじゃないのよ

共感も共犯も思わせぶりなの?

水を失った魚みたい

デリカシーもリテラシーも

必要ないのかも

求められたいばかりで醜い私

それでも君といたい

君となら

 秘密の場所で会おう

## Trivia

* While this song's PV is one of the very few times *Confession Executive Committee* has explicitly suggested LGBT themes (the other time being the finale of "Nonfantasy's" PV), this is not the first CHiCO with HoneyWorks song with those themes as well. "Gimme Gimme Call" has the big twist of the song being that both of the female singer's male love interests were in love with each other rather than her.
* Karen can be seen reading the *Otherside Picnic* novels at 02:51.
* This is the second time the scandal involving what looks like Hiyori Suzumi has appeared in a video.
* The PV for "Koi-Iro ni Sake" has a similar bathroom scene involving Karen; however, it is Karen who is comforting the person in the bathroom stall rather than Karen herself being comforted by Arisa.
* The younger versions of the leads of the "Kotoba wa Iranai Yakusoku" PV show up in Chisa's elementary school classroom.
* This is the first time in two years since flower has been used for an official vocal synthesizer cover, following "Kikoemasu ka" in 2018.
* The end of the PV reveals that Karen and Sumida had been dating for 100 days some time since the end of "Otome-domo yo."
