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!?~
“Kanzaki-kun, I’m sorry about yesterday! Um… you told me I were cute, so I couldn’t look at your face anymore.”
“I guess that’s what you meant, but if it’s Hizakura, you’ve probably been confessed to, or even if you haven’t, you’ve probably heard things like that on a regular basis, so there’s no need to react so much to my opinion.”
“Not that it’s Kanzaki-kun’s opinion …… anyway, I need love advice today too, so can I talk to you about it?”
“Okay.”
The next break time, I was going to consult with Hizakura on the rooftop about love, just as I did yesterday.
Yesterday, because it was the first time I consulted with her about a relationship, the end of the consultation ended up being strange, but today is the second time, so I want to make sure I give her the answer she is looking for.
“Today’s consultation…I’ve only talked to the person I like at school, and I’ve only talked to him once outside of school, but that time it was an incident, so I decided to talk to him after school somewhere”
“I see…then about how should you invite him?”
“I know I’m going to get to the main topic a little later, but I’m curious about that as well…how would Kanzaki-kun be happy to be invited?”
Me, happy to be invited…
I thought about it for a while, but in the end—
“I think I’d be happy if someone asked me out in any way.”
“Even if they’re your friend?”
“Eh? Yeah, if they were my friend, I’d normally be happy, wouldn’t I?”
“I mean, is it really okay to just ask them out, or is there something else you’d like to add?”
“I don’t know if it applies to people who like Hizakura, but I’d be happy to be asked out.”
“No, if that’s okay with you, Kanzaki-kun, then …… yeah, okay.”
Hizakura nodded once, but since she said that the main topic would be a little later, I guess that’s where the conversation begins.
As expected, Hizakura took a short pause before continuing.
“So, on to the main topic, where do you think is a good place to go out for the first time? With girls, it’s fine to just wander around a shopping mall or something, but when you go out with a boy, I don’t think it’s going to work like that.”
“I see. …… place, huh?”
Certainly location is important.
The places where men and women go out are diverse, from amusement parks to aquariums, cinemas to food shops, but the first place they go out to is still very important.
“Why not just play it safe and go out for some good food or something?”
“Delicious food…… Kanzaki-kun, is there anything you like?”
I don’t know why she’s asking me here, but I guess it’s because of the flow of the conversation, or maybe it’s a practice for when she asks someone she likes.
Let me give you a response.
“I like cake, especially if it has strawberries on it.”
“Eh, cake ……! I just found a good cake shop the other day you know?”
“Really?”
“Well, since you’re here, why don’t you come with me after school today?”
“……Eh? With me? Instead, what about you going to go out with this guy you like────?”
“Just go……! Okay?”
“If you insist …….”
For some reason, due to Hizakura’s mysterious momentum, I decided to go eat cake with Hizakura after school today.
I think if she had found a delicious cake shop, she would have enjoyed it if she went there with someone she liked…but since I was invited, I had no choice but to enjoy it to the fullest.
While we were talking about this, recess was almost over, so Hizakura and I returned to the classroom together.
“I wasn’t nervous when I asked him out on the spur of the moment, but now I’m getting nervous ……! Today is my first …… outing with Kanzaki-kun!”
Then, after today’s classes at school finished ──── after school, me and Hizakura immediately started heading to that cake shop together.
