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!?~
“Kanzaki-kun!”
At recess, Hizakura, sitting next to me, speaks to me, to which I reply.
“What’s wrong?”
Then, Hizakura began to explain the reason why she was talking to me.
“I’m not asking for advice or anything today, but if you don’t have anything to do after school today, I was wondering if I could ask you to come over to eat my cooking that I mentioned the other day. ……!”
“Yeah …… if that’s the case, I have nothing to do so let’s go.”
I answered, and Hizakura raised her voice and said
“R-Really!? Yay ……!”
I felt a little bit cute at the sight of Hizakura looking so happy, but I quickly put that thought out of my mind and went to after-school.
As I was leaving school with Hizakura and heading toward Hizakura’s house, Hizakura said
“My parents won’t be home today, so you can relax as if it were your own home, Kanzaki-kun.”
“If that’s what you mean, then I will. …… But is it okay if you call me home when your parents aren’t home?”
“…… Eh?”
When I asked that, Hizakura stopped, looking puzzled, and this time she looked flustered.
“W-What? I-if I call Kanzaki-kun at home when my parents aren’t home, something …… will happen?”
Hizakura asked this while her cheeks flushed red.
I did not know what …… Hizakura was thinking, but I would confirm what I wanted to confirm anyway.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but that’s not what I’m trying to say. I’m just saying that since your parents aren’t around, you should have invited the person you like, so you could have had a nice, private moment with him.”
“A-ahh…… that”
Hizakura said, looking a little more relaxed.
“That …… ? What else is going on?”
“Eh….? Uh, no! Nothing!”
When Hizakura denied so with red cheeks, Hizakura asked with a slightly serious expression.
“…..Kanzaki-kun, if I ask someone I like to come over to my house, do you think I should do something then?”
“If you think you can shorten the distance, I think you should do something that can shorten the distance”
“For example, like I invited you with the nominal intention of having you eat the food like I did this time?”
“The name is just a name, and Hizakura is free to decide what to do with it… so at that time, Hizakura should do what she wants.”
When I answered that, Hizakura’s cheeks turned red as she raised the corners of her mouth a little and replied, “That’s right,…… yeah, okay, Kanzaki-kun,” and started walking toward Hizakura’s house again.
The atmosphere of Hizakura at that time seemed somewhat strange to me, but I did not pay any attention to it and headed toward Hizakura’s house with Hizakura.
────A few minutes later.
“Excuse me”
“Come in!”
I was allowed to go up to her house.
The house is a three-story house, and from the entranceway, where I am now, there was already a nice aroma in the air.
I was led into the living room by Hizakura.
“Well then, Kanzaki-kun, sit down on the chair in the living room and wait for me, I’ll go cook right away!”
“Oh, okay.”
Hizakura smiled at me and headed for the kitchen with a happy look on her face.
I did as I was told and sat down in the living room chair,──── and even in the living room, I still smelled the same good scent,…… and this good scent is exactly the kind of scent you can imagine when you are told that you smell like a beautiful girl.
…… or, if I think about it, I’m at the house of Hizakura right now.
For the first time in my life, I’m coming to a girl’s house.
“…..”
I just came to eat the food Hizakura made, so there is no need to be nervous──── but for some reason I was feeling a little nervous.
I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that something unexpected was going to happen while I was here at Hizakura’s house,……, but I decided to make an effort to somehow eliminate the tension before Hizakura finished cooking for the time being.
