I’m Tired of My Childhood Friend Playing Pranks on Me, so I Want to Date a Female Friend Who Loves Me Sincerely
During lunch break, I was eating lunch alone in the corner of the classroom. My mother had made me a bento box filled with my favorite side dishes, which made me hungry.
Usually, Nagiri san would come over and eat with me, but today she seemed to have something to do, so I was eating alone.
Perhaps because I had always eaten while talking with Nagiri, I felt lonely eating alone for the first time in a while.
“Phew, it’s delicious as always.”
Our school allows us to use our smartphones during breaks, so lately I’ve been spending my time reading online novels.
“What should I read today… Come to think of it…”
I turned off my smartphone and placed it on the desk.
Come to think of it, what Nagiri said this morning… Is that really okay? I’m really happy that she’s doing something for me and Rika.
I think she’s very kind, and I want to remain friends with her… but isn’t that plan a bit too reckless?
If it goes well, that’s great, but I don’t think I can just follow Nagiri-san as she deliberately goes into the alley.
“Eh… um…”
…But I agree with Nagiri-san that those guys need to be punished for Rika’s sake.
“Uchinomiya-kun!”
“Ah, yes?! What is it?”
Suddenly, a female classmate appeared in front of me. I don’t know her name, but she seems to be in a hurry.
“Someone’s watching you from the hallway.”
“Watching me?”
I looked in the direction she was pointing…
“Rika?”
Rika smiled at me when our eyes met and entered the classroom.
“W-Well, see you later, Uchinomiya-kun!”
“Ah, thank you for letting me know.”
The girl who told me this looked frightened as she returned to her group.
Was there something so scary?
“Hello, Ayato-kun. That person isn’t here today, is she?”
“Yeah, she seems to have something to do.”
“I see. Would you like to eat with me? Of course, I promise I won’t do anything like yesterday. If I do, you can cut ties with me.”
“…It’s okay. Let’s forget about yesterday, okay?”
“You forgive me? Thank you. You’re so kind, Ayato-kun.”
Looking at her like this, Rika is really cute. She’s also very honest and can’t lie to people.
I’ll just think of yesterday as some kind of prank by God and keep it locked away in my heart. When I asked, I got an answer I never expected.
