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
“Welcome back, master ♡.”
“….. what’s up?”
When I returned home from school, there stood Akane dressed in a maid’s costume.
Rather than the usual active Akane, she is calm and calm, like a real maid.
What’s this …… good
I thought, disregarding the crazy developments.
“How’s Akane chan’s maid version?”
“…..To put it bluntly, it’s really good.”
“Y-you complimented me honestly. …… Thanks!”
Akane is a real model. Also a model that is very popular among young people today.
Adding maid cosplay to that is crazy.
I was on the verge of being knocked out in front of her overwhelming cuteness.
T-The dazzling ……!
“Yuri-san actually has a set of maid cosplay, so I thought I’d welcome you with a special service.”
“Why the heck do my mom have that ……?”
“I think that’s how I droped Shoji-san when I was younger?”
“I can …… imagine that so much. ……”
By the way, Shoji is my dad.
He’s overseas by himself right now, but my mom video calls him every night, so naturally he doesn’t feel like he’s alone.
My mom and dad, they really still love each other. ……
As an adolescent son, I’m inclined to ask them to refrain.
“I’ve been entertained all day with Ayumu’s embarrassing videos, etc., and I’d like to pay you back in return.”
“To get something in return like wearing a maid costume…what kind of abomination did I really expose?”
“Oh, it was really, really bad.”
“Are you saying that with a big smile on your face?! But to think she’s exposing my dark history in a way that would make you happy…”
The only thing I would say is that I was practicing cool lines when Akane came back when I was in the eighth grade. …… Well, that one is indeed not exposed. (Flag)
And that one in my room …… is not seen, right? I’m sure my mom doesn’t know either.
Even my mom doesn’t know about it, so I’m sure it’s fine. (Extra large flag 2)
I took off my shoes and went to my room.
Akane was following behind me.
“…… how far are you going to follow me?”
“Heehe, everywhere.”
“…..”
I never say how cute I thought she is.
If I told her, I would die of embarrassment.
Even after I entered my room, Akane was still following me with a blank look on her face.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to peek at me while I’m changing?”
“No, no, if you want, I can help you change. Master?”
“T-that’s not necessary! P-Pervert!”
“Muu~, Ayumu’s so guarded.”
“You’re just too loose.”
I wonder how long Akane’s “bothering me” mode will continue.
I’m honestly happy and she’s cute, but …… I think my heart is going to go to heaven first.
Suddenly, I saw an unnaturally empty closet in my field of vision.
I had an idea what it was, and I felt a shudder down my spine.
“P-Perhaps, you….”
“Fufufu”
Akane is still smiling.
It was almost as if she was saying yes, and my suspicions turned to certainty.
“You saw it, didn’t you?”
Yes, I saw it. Fufufu”
Akane is in a very good mood.
Then she opened the closet with great alacrity, picked up the object, and showed it to me.
“My magazine… you’ve been buying it for a long time, haven’t you?”
…….
“I’m so happy. My heart feels so warm when I see this.”
“……I-I see.”
“Thanks, Ayumu.”
“……, I really don’t want only you to know about this.”
“Eh? Why?”
Why? Why, of course.
“—I just wanted to be cool.”
The fact is, there’s nothing more embarrassing than for me to find out that I’ve been secretly supporting Akane since she debuted as a model by buying all the magazines that featured her behind her back.
It was only because I was supporting her behind her back.
“What are you talking about, Ayumu is usually cool.”
Those words pierced through the embarrassment to the deepest part of my heart.
Akane said, “I didn’t say anything funny, did I?” I felt a twinge in my heart even more so because of the look on her face.
“I-I see. …… Well, you’re cooler than me, and you’re super cute, too!”
I really meant what I said.
It is more correct to say that I said it unintentionally.
That is why I said “cool” and “cute” in a straightforward manner.
By the time Akane realized this, she was turning bright red and holding her face with her hands.
“Y-you said it too straight, …… idiot.”
I …… often unintentionally said it out loud.
It was me who decided to try to supply cute on a regular basis from now on, at the same time as my brain gave me a standing ovation.
