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!?~
In the evening, after we finished eating the food that Hizakura cooked with me, we sat together on the sofa in the living room and talked for a little while.
“Hizakura, thank you for teaching me how to cook today and for everything else you did for me.”
“Are you going back……?”
“Yeah, I’ve already had some of Hizakura’s cooking.”
After saying that, I was about to get up from the sofa, but Hizakura grabbed my wrist and stopped me.
“Wait, Kanzaki-kun.”
“What’s wrong?”
“……”
After a pause, Hizakura chokes up a little and says
“Kanzaki-kun,……, tomorrow we’re going to eat the curry that Kanzaki-kun made together at my house, right?”
“Right.”
When I answered with a nod, Hizakura looked at me and said with a look filled with anxiety and expectation.
“If you like, …… would you like to stay over at my place today?”
“…… Eh? …… stay over?”
I was so taken aback that I almost stopped thinking for a moment, but somehow I managed not to stop thinking and said to Hizakura
“There’s no way I can do that, Hizakura has someone she likes, right? I’m glad that Hizakura trusts me, but at least you can’t do that. It’s not a good idea to stay overnight────”
When I was about to deny her suggestion, she took my right hand in both of hers and said
“Regardless of who I like, I want Kanzaki-kun to stay at my place! If you say you don’t like it, I don’t blame you, but if you say you don’t mind staying over at my place, then I want you to stay over at my place!”
……Why? Even though I’m just a friend to Hizakura────, for some reason, I feel like I’m not just a friend, like she’s appealing to me with something else
And …… fact is, I was completely attracted to Hizakura when I was knee laping with her.
At that point, I and Hizakura are already ────It seemed like it would take too long to think about it any longer, so for now I decided to focus on Hizakura in front of me, and responded to Hizakura’s words.
“…… Okay, if Hizakura says so, I’ll stay the night.”
“Really?!”
“Yeah …… but at least don’t ever say such a thing to anyone but me, except the person you like, I’m worried about your situation.”
“Kanzaki-kun,……, don’t worry, I will never say such a thing to anyone but you”
Hizakura said this in a strong voice,…… the person she loves was left out, but I guess she omitted it because it goes without saying.
And once the conversation has settled down, I tell Hizakura.
“Hizakura,…… hands, can you let go of me?”
“….. hands?”
When Hizakura put her own two hands gripping my right hand in the center of her vision, she pulled her own hand away from mine in a panic and said
“I-I’m sorry! I realized I was holding your hand!”
“I didn’t mean it as a dislike, so don’t worry about it.”
“I see,…… that’s good.”
Hizakura mumbled something in a voice I couldn’t hear, but I paid it no mind.
“Then I’m going home to get a change of clothes.”
“I-I see. …… I’m sorry I said this out of the blue.”
“You don’t have to apologize, it’s what I agreed to. Why don’t I just take a bath at my house?”
“No, the water will get cold, so you can at my house.”
“I see…In that case, I’ll take your word for it and go get a change of clothes now.”
“Yes, go ahead!”
While Hizakura saw me off, I went back to my house, grabbed a change of clothes, and headed straight for Hizakura’s house. When I entered the front door, Hizakura said in a cheerful voice
“Welcome home! Kanzaki-kun!”
“I’m home, huh?”
“Kanzaki-kun said he’s home. …… ! Y-yeah! Welcome back, kanzaki-kun!”
“You already said that earlier, so you don’t have to say it again.”
“Eh? Oh, yes, that’s right.”
Hizakura blushed a little, but shook her head and seemed to have regained her composure.
“I boiled the bath while Kanzaki-kun went to get changed. Do you want to take a bath first?”
“Either way is fine.”
“… then, you go in first, Kanzaki-kun.”
“Okay.”
So, after that, I was allowed to take a bath at Hizakura’s house, and when I got out of the bath, Hizakura took my place and took a bath.
—After a few minutes, Hizakura came into the living room, her hair wet and looking even sexier than usual.
