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!?~
“……the last?”
“Yes,…… this is the last time.”
The last time I’m going to have a relationship consultation means that at least I’ll be able to see her less often than before. ……I knew this because once she started going out with that person she liked, she would inevitably have very little time to see me.
Also, for someone like me who used to feel the pain of having to hear about Hizakura’s story with the person she likes, I feel like it will be a little easier to not have to seek love advice from now on. ─ I said feeling quite upset, as I never expected that today would be her last love consultation session.
“Last time.. why? You mean you already feel pretty good with this person you like?”
“I don’t know if I can call it feeling good,…… because I don’t think I can do anything more to advance the relationship.”
“I see….., then, If Hizakura were to date someone she liked, at least we wouldn’t be able to sleep over like we do now.”
“….”
Hizakura didn’t answer anything to that… I guess that’s what it meant.
It’s a bit sad when I think about it, but it was decided from the beginning…Now that I’ve accepted the job, I’ll do my best to fulfill my duties until the end.
“Okay, let me ask you about that last love advice.”
“Yeah,…… my last love consultation is,──── If you happen to have a close relationship with someone you like, go out to eat cake together, invite him over to your house, have you cook for him, hug him, feed him, go shopping together, sleep on his laps. , I had him sleep over my lap, we got angry, we cried, we locked arms, we had fun together at the amusement park, we took a bath together, and now we’re alone in my room… So far… Do you think you do have to hold back on feelings anymore?”
Hizakura finally asked me that with a little tear in her eyes and a tremble in her voice.
Then she continued.
“There have been several times when I could have told him how I felt, but I was too afraid to tell him if he would have rejected me and even destroyed our relationship. …… But do you think I don’t have to put up with these feelings anymore?”
I see…… that’s what it was.
──── the story Hizakura told me earlier.
It sounds familiar and looks familiar,…… because everything Hizakura said earlier is what I have been doing with Hizakura so far.
The fact that she said it was just the two of us in the room now, I’m sure of it,……, but if that’s the case,────, how much pain have I caused to her?
Up until now, when I heard her talk about someone she liked, I naturally didn’t think that person was me, so I answered her questions as if she were a stranger,……, but I’m sure that some of the things I said hurt her.
And in fact, Hizakura is now so disturbed that her voice is shaking with tears in her eyes.
If it were true, I would like to tell her how I feel about her right now, but if I did that, I would be disrespecting all of her feelings up until now.
So I …… first accept Hizakura’s feelings.
“…..yeah, you don’t have to hold back anymore.”
“…..!”
When I said this, Hizakura hugged me with tears in her eyes and said.
“Kanzaki-kun,…… I love you, Kanzaki-kun! I really, really love you,…… Kanzaki-kun!”
Hizakura was shedding tears, and her arms holding me were very strong,…… that’s how much she had been holding back until now.
I myself stopped holding back my feelings ──── and hugged Hizakura back and said.
“Hizakura,…… I’m really sorry I didn’t realize it until now,…… I really like Hizakura too.”
“……! Really? Really ……?”
“It’s true.”
“Kanzaki, kun……!”
After that, Hizakura buried her head in my body and cried for a while.
I waited for her to stop crying, holding her gently, unlike sometime on the rooftop.
At that time, I held back from hugging back the crying Hizakura, but now there is no need to do so anymore.
Our relationship has definitely changed ──── from this moment on.
