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
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Ayumu!~”
“Hey—“
“Dive~!”
Akane came running from the station and jumped into me with the same momentum.
Even though Akane’s weight is light, there’s something that comes when a girl thrusts into me…
“Ugh, heavy …….”
“Muu~ what is heavy for a girl~!”
“T-This is gravity. ……”
“Gravity, I mean, that’s my weight. You can’t fool me, can you?”
“U-uu ……”
Akane tugged on my cheek as if to scold me.
But Akane being a big sister just doesn’t feel right, and I almost blurt it out.
Akane got even more angry at this, and this time she stepped on my foot.
“Ouch!”
“How is it? Are you happy?”
“I don’t have any special characteristics like that.”
“You’re not being honest.”
“I told you that with stupid honesty. ……”
I sighed as I looked at Akane, who was smiling in a funny and joyful way.
It was just before twelve o’clock on a Sunday.
In front of the crowded clock tower at the station.
Even though we live in the same house, Akane’s selfishness was evident in her words, “Lovers are supposed to meet up with each other!”…… we went to the trouble of meeting up like this.
“Come on, let’s go, shall we?”
The popular model in disguise, wearing a hat and round glasses, pulled me along by the hand and we headed for our destination.
How did this happen? It goes back to a few days ago …….
“Eh? Advance movie tickets?”
As I was seeing Kotoyori off to the front door to tell her that she was going home, she suddenly handed me a movie ticket.
I believe it is …….
“Yes. It’s a movie I’m in that starts showing tomorrow, and I really want you two to come see it.”
“I see. ……tomorrow, right?”
”Yeah, tomorrow.”
Akane stared at the movie ticket and then held it carefully.
I knew that a movie starring my classmate was going to be released tomorrow…but I still felt something close to my heart.
Even though I met her for the first time today, I feel like I’m about to cry.
“Okay. I’ll go see it with Ayumu.”
“Yes, you do that! Have fun on your date.”
“Yeah!”
Come to think of it, we had never been on a date before.
Akane is a very popular model and it would be dangerous for her to be found out, so we have not done so naturally, but I had a feeling that I wanted to.
But just in case, I whispered in Akane’s ear.
“Are you okay?”
“Hmm? What?”
“If they find out, it’ll be bad, won’t it?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve got a disguise. I’m pretty sure they won’t recognize me.”
“But you can’t be sure—“
“It’s been proven before!”
Akane gives me a thumbs-up with a smug look on her face.
How serious are you, ……?
Apparently, no matter what I said, Akane was willing to go on a date with me.
In fact, I’ve always wanted to go on a date with her, and of course, she’s willing to go along with it.
“So it’s okay then?”
“Mm-hmm!”
As we both nodded at each other, I caught sight of Kotoyori watching us with a grin on her face.
Feeling a tremendous sense of déjà vu, I turned my gaze away from Kotoyori.
“….. don’t start all kinds of things in public, okay?”
“Whaa…….”
“Hehehe~”
“So stop acting like you’re not even in your prime.”
Akane always looks embarrassed only at times like this.
This is completely troublesome. However, even that innocent face is the cutest, so my childhood friend is the most cunning.
“Well, enjoy your date! See you then!”
“Ou!”
“See you at school!”
…… this is the reason I’m in town right now.
“Ayumu, you’re walking too slow~”
“Sorry, sorry.”
I ran alongside Akane and headed for my destination.
By the way, it seems that Akane’s disguise is really undetectable.
She was wearing a long skirt and a long coat. Her hair was unusually braided, and her appearance was more subdued than plain.
Such a makeover of Akane is different from the usual innocent Akane, but this is good.
It is certainly hard to tell that this is Akarigawa Akane, but she couldn’t hide her …… beautiful
“Mmmmmmm~”
Akane is in a good mood, and her steps are light and bouncy.
When I looked at her, even I felt better, and I started not caring about my surroundings anymore.
Let’s just enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
With this in mind, we headed for our destination, a movie theater.
