I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
I didn’t get crushed when I went to the roof today.
“Bread again today? There’s a good chance you’re not getting enough nutrients.”
“That’s exactly what I’m gonna say to you.”
The first thing I saw on the rooftop was a beautiful silver-haired girl sitting by the fence.
It seems that she came here to have lunch as she did yesterday.
“……”
I sat down next to her for no particular reason.
“……”
She seemed to have no complaints either, as she ate the bread without saying anything.
The time of silence continued for a while, just eating lunch.
Even though we didn’t speak, there was not a shred of awkwardness.
She and I had just met yesterday, and we were not particularly close.
But I felt a kind of sympathy for her.
Just as stand users are attracted to each other, she and I understood each other’s characteristics without exchanging words.
In other words, this silver-haired, tall, beautiful girl is…..a loner !
“Um, my name is Yazawa Hiro. I’m a second grader.”
“Ngg……please to meet you. I’m Kido Tsumugi, first grade.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“It’s nice to meet you too.”
I took the plunge and introduced myself…but what’s with the formal greeting !? Will we be killing each other now !?
I already feel like I’m going to regret it. It’s not a good idea to act on your own……
“So, you were younger !?”
“I was surprised too. I thought we were the same age.”
I was surprised at the fact that the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of me is a junior.
Even though she was this huge……not her breasts….but her height !
“Even though you’re this cute, I can’t believe you’re a senior…..”
“Oi, are you gonna refuse to accept boys who are smaller than you as seniors?”
Is this guy makes fun of me or being so small and cute? What a terrible thing to think with such a cute face !
As I was indignantly thinking such things in my brain, Kido san’s face came closer to me.
Eh……. What’s with the distance……? N-no way………!
“No. I just thought you had a cute face. You just didn’t look older.”
‘I-I see.”
There was no distance between us, and Kido san was just staring at my face. Yeah, I knew that. I knew, and I dared to pretend to be impatient !
……Hmm? Doesn’t it make no difference that you were judged by your appearance?
“Why did Yazawa senpai come to the rooftop?”
“What do you mean…..I just came to have lunch.”
Sudden change of subject. Normally I would have frozen or panicked, but for some reason I was able to reply naturally.
There is a sense of tempo that is unique to the “introverted” crowd. I guess Kido san and I have that kind of pace.
“It’s not that, it’s just that I’ve never seen you here before.”
“Ah ….”
Yesterday was the first time I visited the rooftop during lunch break. Did she suddenly wonder if there was a reason?
If there was a reason, it would be that the childhood friend I liked had a boyfriend and I wanted to distance myself from her because it became awkward……I don’t think I would be able to bear the shame of telling her that.
“I didn’t have a reason. I was just looking for a place to be, if I dare to say so.”
I tried to be deceptive, but I came off like a very lonely guy. Well, it’s not wrong.
“A place to be…… Yeah, I get it. It’s tough.”
Kido san gave me a very gentle smile.
It was a smile that conveyed a sense of fellowship rather than sympathy.
Maybe she, too, was looking for her own place on the rooftop. She seems to spend a lot of time on the rooftop, to the extent that she wonders why I come here.
“But I can’t stay on the rooftop all the time. It’s still cloudy today, so it’s fine, but it’s hot in the summer, and if it rains, I can’t even go out.”
“Everything can be solved with an umbrella. It can be used not only in the rain but also as a parasol in the summer.”
“Oi, oi……you wouldn’t go that far, would you?”
Despite her outward appearance of cool beauty, Kido san was the type to crack jokes, it seems.
“……?”
Eh, what was that?
She’s….joking, right?
“Um–“
“That was a joke.”
Before I could say anything, she denied it as if she was covering her face.
Her blue eyes were looking in the far distance. Even when I stared at her, she gave off the vibe that she didn’t notice me at all, probably because she didn’t want to make eye contact with me.
“S-so it was a joke. Hahaha……”
“Y-yeah…that was funny, wasn’t it?”
I’m kind of worried about her……
We are fellow introverted friends. It wouldn’t hurt if I cared a little.
The reason I’m worried about Kido san is because I have obtained a place to escape to, the rooftop of the school.
◇ ◇ ◇
Near the end of the lunch break, Kido san and I parted ways.
“Hiro kun~……I’ve been looking for you~…….”
“Whoaa !?”
The gap between the time I was relaxing and the time I suddenly heard a frightening voice startled me more than I should have.
My heart was making an unpleasant sound. I held my chest to calm down and looked in the direction of the voice.
“Where have you been all this time? I’ve been looking for you for a while.”
Where was the frightening atmosphere from earlier? Matsuyuki san puffed out her cheeks and looked angry.
…Oh, did she just say she was looking for me?
“I was hoping to have lunch with Hiro kun…… Please take responsibility for this, y’hear me?”
Saying that, Matsuyuki san smiled like an angel.
A smile gives a different impression depending on the person and the way they smiles. I felt like I had become a wiser person.
