The Case of My Childhood Friend Who Became a Very Popular Model and Came Back to Fulfill a Promise We Made When We Were Children
“….”
“..”
It was Saturday afternoon at a family restaurant.
Himi and I were studying for the midterm exam that was coming up.
Incidentally, Masahiro, who is in the frame for the story, was unable to come due to family business. So, unusually, we were holding a study session by ourselves.
“Well, I guess we’ve got a break for the time being.”
“Good work~. Then let’s take a break.”
“Sure.”
I answered and closed my problem book.
I sipped my lukewarm coffee.
“Is it really okay for the two of us to be alone together. Won’t Akarigawa san misunderstand us?
“No problem. It took a lot of effort to get permission, but I have it.”
“I see. Then we’re good to go!”
“….the material is old.”
Actually, it was really hard to get Akane’s permission.
Basically, I never lie to Akane, so I told her that we are best friends and she believed me, but then she told me that even if we are best friends, she doesn’t want her to be my best friend.
That girl is really possessive.
No, she’s cute in that way, though, isn’t she?
In the end, she let me go to the study group on the condition that I would sleep with her next time.
……I’m worried if I can keep my reason.
“I’m going to go put in a drink bar, do you want anything?”
“Ummm……… coffee then.”
“Got it.”
I thought as I looked over at Himi with my eyes on the side
Isn’t this going to make her even more angry if she sees Himi?
Himi is a class committee member, but she is the type of beautiful girl who doesn’t stand out.
Even so, rumors of Himi have spread throughout the student community, and some students even come to our classroom to see her.
It was probably not a good idea to have a study session alone with Himi.
But Himi and I are just good friends with each other.
“Here you go, coffee.”
“Thank you.”
Besides, Himi has someone she likes. And I know who she likes.
There is no way that a romantic comedy could happen between me and Himi.
“How are things going lately? Any progress?”
“…..Y-you’re being very abrupt.”
“I’m tired of all the preliminaries.”
“That’s very important, so don’t skip over it!”
Himi probably knew what I was talking about just from the conversation we just had.
Her cheeks are slightly red.
This looks familiar–the face of a maiden in love.
“……There’s really nothing going on these days. The two of us even go to family restaurants when Ayumu is busy with his girlfriend.”
“I see,……, how was he like?”
“I didn’t feel like he was thinking about it. Of course he didn’t realize that… I think”
“……Haaa I see. That’s why I don’t like insensitivity.”
“Yeah. I think boys have an obligation to be sensitive to the feelings of girls, don’t you?”
“Is that what you’re saying to me? Well, I apologize first, sorry.”
“Fufu. I forgive you.”
I consider myself a relatively perceptive person, but the way I feel now, I may be invoking my insensitivity as well.
As a man, insensitivity is unbecoming, so I must be more careful.
As I was thinking this, Himi let out a deep sigh.
“I really wish I could be more aggressive,…… but really, what should I do to be more aggressive,……?”
“Aggressive…… huh?”
When I heard the word “aggressive,” one person came to mind.
If anyone could be aggressive, it would be her
I had a good idea, so I looked at Himi with a smug look on my face.
“Do you want to know how to be aggressive?”
“I-I want to know….”
“Then I’ll introduce you to someone very special. A really great person.”
Himi’s expression of uncertainty was on her face as she listened to my words.
But I was confident that everything would be okay, so I continued to look smug.
Perhaps sensing something in my face, the puzzled look on Himi’s face cleared.
Eventually, with a look of determination on her face, she said,
“Please do this for me.”
To these words, I returned a confident look.
