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!?~
“Here, Kanzaki-kun! Pasta’s ready!”
“Oh, thank you.”
After placing the pasta on the table, Hizakura sat down opposite me.
…… face to face.
“I thought I’d try some other pasta, but I forgot to ask Kanzaki-kun what flavor he could try, so today I decided to try the same Neapolitan that we had at the previous restaurant! It may not be as delicious compared to others, but if you think it’s as delicious…I’d be happy.”
“It’s a dish made by Hizakura, so it’s bound to taste good. …… but Hizakura.”
“What’s wrong? Kanzaki-kun.”
…… Hizakura was next to me all day today.
Whenever we were walking in the amusement park, we always had our arms around each other, when we were enjoying the attractions, we hardly ever left each other, we were next to each other when we ate lunch, even when we came back, we had our arms around each other, and really I think it was because I were in close contact with Hizakura and her body all day,────.
Not having Hizakura next to me feels very uncomfortable …… to me now.
“…… next to me, want to eat? I’ve been next to you all day, and it’s a little sad that we’re going to end up face-to-face.”
“….! Y-yeah!”
After saying that, Hizakura immediately moved to my side with a plate of pasta on it, her cheeks turning red, and said,
“I actually wanted to eat next to Kanzaki-kun too, but since I’ve been next to him all day, I thought he might not like being next to me until we were eating dinner at night, so I sat down facing him.”
“I don’t think so.”
When I said that, Hizakura’s mouth loosened and she showed a pleased expression.
Then, the two of us eat pasta together.
…The ketchup and other ingredients mix well and taste very good.
“I knew it, the food at Hizakura is delicious,……, maybe even better than the pasta at that restaurant.”
“That’s too much of a compliment! …… but I’m glad.”
After that, after eating pasta for a while, Hizakura looked at me and said with a gentle smile.
“I love the look on your face when you’re eating something so delicious,…..I want to see more”
“If I could eat …… Hizakura’s food, I’m sure you could see that face anytime you want.”
“Lately, I’ve been feeding you something I made every weekday, but I …… don’t want to do that, I want to cook more properly for you, Kanzaki-kun.”
“That sounds like a lot of work.”
“It’s not that hard! When I think about Kanzaki-kun, I don’t think it’s that hard at all. In fact, it’s something I want to do.”
Then Hizakura rolled a piece of pasta with a fork and held it out to my mouth.
“….. can I feed it to you?”
“….. yeah”
“Ahhhnn~.”
When I opened my mouth, Hizakura put the pasta she had offered into my mouth…Every weekday, Hizakura lets me eat something from Hizakura’s cooking this way. When I did something like that at Hizakura’s house on a day off, and after being next to her all day today, I felt like something was different from usual.
In the past, when I was fed by Hizakura, I was too shy to notice, but now I feel that the food tastes better when I am fed by Hizakura.
It is still the same Neapolitan pasta made by Hizakura, so why do I feel that way?
Although I was aware of the reason somewhere in the back of my mind, I tried not to think about it.
“Delicious.”
“Good. ……”
After a few more times of having Hizakura feed me pasta, we both finished our pasta, and Hizakura and I headed for the front door.
“Hizakura, thank you for the day, it was a lot of fun.”
“….. yeah.”
Then, just as I was about to put on my shoes,────
Hizakura came up behind me and hugged me.
“…… Hizakura?”
“Kanzaki-kun,……, can I be selfish?”
“What’s …… it about?”
When I asked that, Hizakura said in a very sweet voice.
“I want you to stay with me today,…….”
