Episode 25 – Kanzaki Kakeru is by your side


I Saw My Female Friend, a Beautiful and Neat Girl, Holding a Romance Book Titled โ€œHow to Get Your Male Friend to Like Youโ€ and Decided to Give Advice on Love~ In Fact, the Guy She Likes Seems to Be Me!?~


“What do you mean you don’t want to disturb me? When did you interfere with me, Kanzaki-kun?”

Hizakura asked me that in a voice filled with confusion, as if she didn’t understand the meaning of my words.

In response, I told her exactly what I was thinking.

โ€˜If you want to go out with the person you love, then my presence is nothing but a hindrance no matter how you think about it.”

“That’s not true.”

โ€˜I’m glad you say so, but I’m still in the way.”

โ€œYouโ€™re not a hindrance! Because, I am about Kanzaki kunโ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€”

Hizakura was about to say something, but stopped midway through and stopped speaking.

What about Kanzaki-kun?

โ€ฆI would have liked to hear more if it had something to do with me, but if Hizakura kept her mouth shut, I wouldn’t force her to ask.

After a short silence, Hizakura opened her mouth again.

“The one thing I want to say is that Kanzaki-kun is not a hindrance to meโ€ฆ He gives me love advice, enjoys spending time with me, and even sleeps over when I ask. He even goes so farโ€ฆ. I can’t think of Kanzaki-kun like that as a hindrance.”

With my back to Hizakura, I had stopped moving as Hizakura grabbed my wrist and stood up, but I felt like Hizakura’s voice was trembling just now, so I turned back towards Hizakura โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ and there was Hizakura’s face, which looked as if it was about to start crying.

โ€œH-Hizakura?!”

I put all the content of our conversation from earlier somewhere else and immediately sat down beside Hizakura, genuinely worried about Hizakura, who was now sitting next to me.

โ€œA-are you alright? sorry โ€ฆโ€ฆ my fault, right?”

“Yes, it’s all Kanzaki-kun’s fault, โ€ฆโ€ฆ.”

Saying that, Hizakura hugged me and said.

โ€˜The reason I’m in so much pain, the reason I’m so sad,โ€ฆโ€ฆ the reason I feel happy in my normal life, the reason I feel joy in my normal life, it’s all Kanzaki-kun’s fault,โ€ฆโ€ฆ it’s all Kanzaki-kun’s fault.”

Hizakura looked up at me with a face that looked as if she was about to cry, and hugged me as she said.

“So, Kanzaki-kun, โ€ฆโ€ฆ don’t avoid me anymore, โ€ฆโ€ฆ or else I โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€.”

“Okay, I’m not going to avoid you anymoreโ€ฆ As Hizakura said, we’ve grown close until now, so it’s strange that I just say I’m excused and avoid youโ€ฆ โ€ฆNo matter what the reason may be, the time Hizakura and I have spent together will always remain, and our relationship has deepened at the same timeโ€ฆ It’s not something that can be conveniently divided.โ€

“Kanzaki, kunโ€ฆโ€ฆ!”

Hizakura buried her face in my body, hugged me even tighter, and started cryingโ€ฆI instinctively wanted to hug Hizakura back, but somehow I managed to resist the urge. I waited for Hizakura to stop crying.

And when she stopped crying, I said to her again.

“I will never avoid you or leave you again, I will always be by your side, whether your love is fruitful or not”

“Kanzaki-kunโ€ฆ..”

Hizakura looked at me with red cheeks, and when she saw that her arms were now holding me โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€, she blushed and pulled her arms that were holding me away from me, and said in a panic.

โ€œII-I’m sorry! I found myself hugging you!”

“I didn’t feel bad, don’t worry about it.”

โ€œT-thanks. โ€ฆโ€ฆ”

Hizakura thanked me with relief, and her eyes swam once more.

โ€œHizakura?”

I thought it was strange for Hizakura, and when I called her name, Hizakura seemed uneasy and opened her mouth.

“Kanzaki-kun, um, โ€ฆโ€ฆ there’s one thing I want to ask you.”

“What is it?”

Hizakura’s cheeks flushed red again, and she looked me in the eye and asked me.

” Kanzaki-kun said that you are โ€ฆโ€ฆ conscious of me as the opposite gender, right?โ€

“โ€ฆโ€ฆ yeah, I said that.”

“Well then, about me โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€.”

When Hizakura was about to say something, the pre-bell chime rang.

Then, Hizakura stood up as if in a hurry and said something deceptive.

“Ka, Kanzaki-kun! We have to get back to the classroom quickly!”

“Ah, yes,โ€ฆโ€ฆ but what did you said earlier,โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€?”

โ€œI-it’s nothing! It’s nothing, so hurry back to the classroom! okay?”

“If that’s okay with Hizakura, that’s fine. โ€ฆโ€ฆ”

Although there was a bit of a snag at the end, our relationship isn’t back to normal. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€

This one time, the relationship between me and Hizakura is more than the original relationship.

The fun with Hizakura, who has also developed our relationship, is still going on.

I wonder where this relationship will end up.

I can’t see where it will end up, but for now I’ll just think about enjoying the fun time with Hizakura as much as I can.

After school that day, Hizakura and I immediately went out together.
