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!?~
“…Are you being avoided by someone you like?”
I came to the rooftop to consult with Hizakura about her love life, but I was surprised to hear that she was being avoided by the person she loves.
I ask Hizakura, even though I’m perplexed by the fact that I can’t predict what Hizakura has said so far.
“I thought you said things were going well at ……. How did that happen?”
“I don’t know,……, there are some things that seem to be on my mind, but he didn’t seem to be that concerned about the incident.”
“I see, there are other factors, …….”
Having said that, if Hizakura herself has no idea about it, no matter how much Hizakura and I speculate here, it will still be speculation, so it will be difficult to find out the cause and solve it. It would be better to look at it that way.
“I see …… but I don’t know why, so I was wondering what I should do in a situation like this.”
“I guess it depends on how much he’s avoiding you, how much is he avoiding you?”
“He does have some light conversations, but he seems a bit more curt than usual…I feel like he wants to push me away…no, that doesn’t sit well with me either. So, I won’t know for sure until I ask the person in question.”
He talks to her lightly, but more curtly than usual, and she can see that he’s trying to keep her away from him,…….
“Do you know how this person feels about you right now?”
“Friends, I think. …… Oh, but I wonder if he told me that he is aware of me as the opposite gender.”
aware as the opposite gender…..!?
I wonder if the relationship between Hizakura and the person she loves has progressed enough for someone to say something like that—I quickly turned my head from thoughts that were about to enter, and opened my mouth.
“If so, the reason why the person who Hizakura likes is avoiding her is because he is conscious of her as a member of the opposite gender”
“But why would he avoid me because of that?”
“Isn’t it because he likes you that he gets embarrassed when you are in contact with you?”
“No, he’s not like that. …… I think he’s avoiding me for some special reason.”
There is some special reason, that may be true, but as I said before, that is not something to think about right here and now, because it is not a matter of speculation.
Besides,──── I got up from the bench on the rooftop and said to Hizakura.
“If the other person is telling you that he is aware of you as a member of the opposite gender, then all you have to do is confess.”
“I can’t confess to him now, with him avoiding me like this!”
“I’m sorry ……, but that’s all I can say right now.”
I was about to walk toward the rooftop door when Hizakura stopped me by grabbing my wrist.
“‘Hizakura, I told you earlier,────.”
“Then tell me,…… why are you avoiding me, Kanzaki-kun?”
I was about to say the same thing again to Hizakura when Hizakura said in a dark voice.
I’m avoiding Hizakura …… a little uncomfortable when she says it out loud, but it’s the right thing to do as an action.
Oddly enough, the two people who are avoiding her at the same time are the person she loves and me,……, so it would be a terrible thing for me to spend time with her and give her relationship advice so that I can take advantage of her situation.
“It is true that I may be avoiding you, but that’s because I no longer have any need for love advice to Hizakura. ……If you’ve succeeded in making him aware of you as the opposite gender, then I’m out of your life, aren’t I?”
When I said that, she looked a little angry, which is quite unusual …… for Hizakura, at least for the first time to me.
“I can’t just conveniently dismiss you that way, Kanzaki-kun!”
Then she continued, this time looking a little depressed and asking.
“I can’t conveniently dismiss you, Kanzaki-kun,….. Hey, tell me, what’s the real reason? Why are you avoiding me?”
“……I told you earlier, because I no longer have to give love advice to Hizakura. ────”
“If so, regardless of the relationship counseling, will you go out with me after school today? If you say today is busy, it doesn’t have to be today, it can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. …… will you go out with me?”
Going out with Hizakura, which in the end would be an obstacle to the romance between Hizakura and the person Hizakura likes, of course there is no way I can do such a thing.
“……”
“It’s strange after all, Kanzaki-kun, …… you got along with me until a little while ago, ────”
“I just don’t want to get in Hizakura’s way.”
I interrupted Hizakura’s words and forcefully conveyed my true feelings.
