I Saw My Female Friend, a Beautiful and Neat Girl, Holding a Romance Book Titled “How to Get Your Male Friend to Like You” and Decided to Give Advice on Love~ In Fact, the Guy She Likes Seems to Be Me!?~
“Good morning, Hizakura.”
“H-hello, Kansaki-kun.”
Hizakura entered the classroom and greeted me, but she seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment as she remembered that I had seen her buying that love book yesterday.
However, she soon greeted me as usual and took her seat next to mine, which was Hizakura’s seat.
“….. Kanzaki-kun, there’s something I want to discuss with you earlier today at lunchtime, is that alright?”
“Ah, okay.”
I’ve never had anyone ask me for love advice before, and I have no experience with love either, so I’m a little unsure if I’ll be able to serve as Hizakura’s love counselor, but since I’ve accepted the job, I’ll try my best.
I decided so, and with a little bit of tension in my heart, I welcomed the lunch break. …… When it was lunchtime, I and Hizakura each took our lunch boxes and went to the rooftop, where people don’t usually come.
And when we sat down next to each other on the bench, Hizakura opened her mouth and said.
“Before we discuss about my first love affair, I’d like to tell you about the boy I like.”
“Thanks.”
It would not have been very helpful if she had asked me for advice on love without knowing anything about the boy she likes, so I’m really grateful that she told me first.
“The boy I like is a male friend of mine.”
“Yeah ……”
So that’s why you had a book called that
“What made you fall for him?”
“I liked him because we had fun talking together and he understood me well sometimes.”
When Hizakura told me that, she had a face that said she was exactly the kind of girl who was in love. ──── sweet and sour.
“I-I see.”
To that straightforward love, I could only reply that much, but Hizakura continued further.
“But that person only seems to be aware of me as a friend,……, so I want to somehow make him aware of me as the opposite gender, and if possible, I want to become his girlfriend!”
“I see… … is good, isn’t it?
But I’m starting to wonder if I’m really the right person to discuss this with.”
“It’s absolutely has to be Kanzaki-kun! It’s meaningless if it’s not Kanzaki-kun!”
“I don’t think it’s meaningless…but I’m glad that you’re relying on me that much as a friend. If that’s the case, I’ll tell Hizakura the boy’s opinion…but… If you can truly become lovers with him, please tell me about the other person and we’ll celebrate in a big way.”
“Eh ……? Y-yeah, I’m sure you’ll know by then, Kanzaki-kun.”
“I see.”
I feel that Hizakura’s reaction was somewhat strange, but when it comes to a romantic relationship, it’s not surprising if that’s what happened.
As I was concluding this about Hizakura’s reaction, Hizakura said.
“Well, after you’ve heard my premise, I’d like to talk to you about my love,…… but I’m thinking that maybe that person is only conscious of me as a friend because of the way I look.”
“…… appearance?”
Hizakura has the appearance of what can only be described as a beautiful, neat and tidy girl from any angle, but what in the world is it about this beautiful girl that makes it impossible for her to only being conscious only as a friend?
“Yeah,…… maybe I’m not attractive to that person in terms of my appearance as the opposite gender,…… so today I wanted to ask Kanzaki-kun what he thinks about my appearance.”
“I think you’re cute.”
“…… Eh?”
I was a little embarrassed to directly tell her that she was cute, but I thought it would be a waste to have someone as good as Hizakura and not be confident in her appearance, so I decided to tell her exactly what I thought.
“I think Hizakura is cute because of her outward charm as a member of the opposite gender. I think it would be more appropriate to describe her as beautiful rather than cute.”
“Wait, hey, if you suddenly say something like that, ────”
Hizakura’s face started to turn red, but I continued without hesitation.
“My opinion may not change anything, but if you’re the best in your class, no, even among high school students…”
“Stop it already~!”
Hizakura said so loudly and left the rooftop with a red face, but somewhat happily.
“……I may have been too direct in telling her what I was thinking.”
If I meet Hizakura-san later, I’ll just apologize lightly.
After that, I decided to start eating my lunch alone on the rooftop.
“I-I’m cute for Kanzaki kun…I was embarrassed, but I’m happy…!!”
