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
While unpacking the rest of the luggage, Akane and I talk about other things.
Most of the items that had just arrived had been assembled, and Akane’s room was starting to look more like a room.
But at the same time, I was a little embarrassed to realize that my room was now next to Akane’s
“Speaking of which, why are you living in my house?”
“Oh that’s because, you know, my parents are on a round-the-world trip right now.”
“They’re as active as ever. ……”
They are so active that they used to go to Mt. Everest as a couple during their summer vacation.
A round-the-world trip is no wonder. It’s rather too perfect for their image.
“And since they won’t be home for a while, I was thinking about buying the house next to Ayumu’s, but that’s when Yuri-san called out to me.”
“Then why didn’t I know about it?….”
“Surprise?”
“You yourself don’t even know what you’re talking about. ……”
Well, even if I had been informed in advance, I probably wouldn’t have believed it.
However, I don’t want her to ambush me in front of the school gate. The stares hurt me. Also, it’s bad for the heart. Really bad.
“So, what are you going to do about high school? It’s winter of the first year of high school, you know? Isn’t it halfway through?”
“Well, I’m planning to go to a high school near Ayumu’s high school that celebrities go to.”
“Oh, there?”
In fact, that place is famous for having celebrities in high school.
But of course we don’t visit them so as not to bother them.
We just say, “Wow, that’s great,” and it’s really peaceful.
“So, please pick me up on your way home, okay?”
“I’m picking you up?”
“Yes I thought Ayumu might want to go home with me.”
“You don’t have to emphasize me with inverted words, do you?”
It is not wrong to say that I want to go home with you, though.
“I miss it. Ayumu used to always say, “I’m going to school holding hands with Akane chan every day!””
“Please stop humiliating me further, it makes me want to die ……”
“Hands… are you going to hold them?”
Akane laughs and holds out her hand.
I’m being made fun of. What are you going to do with it now? I’ll die of shame.
So I put my hand on her hand for a moment and opened another piece of cardboard.
Well, it is a so-called “hand gesture”.
“Muu~”
Akane, her cheeks puffed out, sat down beside me.
Our shoulders were completely touching, …… meaning the distance was unusually close.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time, you know?”
“I guess so. I mean, Akane, it’s hard to open the cardboard box.”
“I! I want to have skinship with Ayumu!”
“I-It’s only the fourth episode you know!? What’s going to happen now, skinship in the fourth episode?….”
“The fourth episode? I don’t know what’s going on, but I want to have skinship.”
I almost laughed a little because she said that with a straight face.
Is this really the very popular model Akarigawa Akane?
I had only seen her as a very popular model for the past four years, so there was a bit of a difference between her and my image of her.
However, she is still cute, though.
“…… my rationality, you know.”
“Throw away your rationality.”
“…… Are you really a girl?”
These days, the so-called “carnal girls” are all the rage.
“…After four years, we’re finally able to be close like this, you know?”
Akane’s eyes were wet and she looked up at me even more.
Really, I know I would accept anything from her if she did that to me…….
I endured my embarrassment and intertwined my pinky with Akane’s pinky.
“…… allow me to do this. Gradually.”
When I said this, Akane’s cheeks turned slightly red and she nodded her head, “Y-yeah”
Ah, I knew this girl was a very popular model.
Really, the destructive power is not half bad.
It seems that the returning childhood friend is still several times cuter than ever.
