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
When I left the house, she said to me “Have a good day.”
Akane, who was in high spirits, brought my mother’s frilly apron and frying pan, giving me the impression of a new wife.
But there is one thing I can say.
No new wife brings a frying pan to the front door.
I entered the classroom and took my seat.
I had just finished putting my textbooks in my desk and opened my vocabulary book when I saw the two students approaching me in the shape of demons.
“Good morning, Masahiro and Himi.”
“Good morning. I’d rather hear your love stories than your words.”
“You say it like a haiku, but it’s not a haiku at all.”
“We like to talk about love stories. So, let’s hear about it. What happened with the beautiful girl?”
Both Masahiro and Himi were in high spirits.
The two of them are still the same as ever, I think, and I look down at the words.
“We’re going to live together.”
“No, why don’t you tell me–L-Live together!? h-ha?!”
“No! Here’s the hero of a romantic comedy!”
“You two are too much in the mood for this. ……”
I haven’t seen these two so lively since we had a night party at Masahiro’s house.
I wonder if they’ve already entered the midnight tension? But it’s morning…… early morning tension?
Well, I don’t care which one it is.
“So, the person who was in front of the school gate the other day is my childhood friend.”
“……”
“……”
“”It was real!””
“I’m gonna kick your asses.”
It is obvious that the author intended to dilute the love element in the beginning of the story with a gag.
The two of them were in a gag mood right now.
“Then is it possible that …… that is Akarigawa Akane….-san?”
“That’s right.”
“…. this guy is the protagonist of a romantic comedy after all. I’m sure of it.”
“Then I’m the class councilor character who likes the main character”
“I’m …… the friend character. I’m sorry I’m not good looking.”
“The story is going to move forward on its own. ……”
By the way, Himi has someone else she likes, and Masahiro… is not as good-looking as a friend character.
So I don’t think it’s a romantic comedy at all.
“But now Ayumu, who is always studying, finally has a girlfriend.”
“I’m really glad. When you refused Himeoka-san’s confession, I was cursing you in my head, thinking you are crazy, but I guess he had a childhood friend. Good, good.”
“I didn’t know she thought that of me. …… I mean, I’m not going out with Akane.”
“”!?””
Both of us reacted in a way that could have been on a variety show, so it was nice to talk to each other.
But come to think of it, I don’t think Akane and I have become lovers.
But we promised to get married and I guess you could say that we are …… married.
To be honest, I hadn’t really thought about that part of our relationship.
“What kind of relationship is it then?”
“I’ve promised …… to marry her, but I hadn’t really thought about it. I’ll discuss it with her when I get home today.”
“Masahiro doesn’t understand romantic comedies.”
“Reona doesn’t understand romantic comedies.”
“…… you guys really have a good sense of humor.”
The three of us were so nicely separated in our banter and our tsukkomi that I think the trio could do a comedy show together right now.
I have to admit, it’s a pain in the ass, but I don’t dislike it.
Also, I’ve known these two for a long time, and I’m used to them.
“So you can’t join in the after-school gossip time for a while?”
“I don’t know. I’ll go when I can.”
“Okay. Then, Himi and I will form a two-person team.”
“……, it’s pretty tough with no one to pick on.”
“…..exactly like that.
That’s the way it is with these two, but I’m sure they’ll have fun with just the two of them.
They’re very skillful.
Well, that time is important to me too, so I’ll go if I can.
If Akane, who is in “fussy chan” mode, allows me to go, I will go …..
