Senpai promised me that she would keep her word. Although she has a fast-paced personality, I trust her. I trust her because she has been kind to me, a ghost club member.
I would be rude if I didn’t believe her because she said she would keep her promise.
For some reason, I respect her.
Apparently the only requirement was to talk about this, and I was given permission to go home, so I was on my way home from school, raving about it. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Mai, so I thought I’d buy some souvenirs.
Actually, Mai has quite a sweet tooth. She doesn’t tell her friends, but she has a sweet tooth to the point that there is always something sweet in the refrigerator at home.
I like sweets too, so I sometimes ask Mai to share them with me, and every time I do, she asks me what I think of them.
She’s a cute person.
So today I decided to buy something sweet for Mai. Just today at school, one of the girls was talking about a new product that had just gone on sale.
I was sure Mai didn’t know about it yet because it was supposed to go on sale today.
I decided to take it home with me so I could be healed by the sight of Mai’s happy face.
“Welcome”
I went to a recently opened sweets store in a nearby department store. The store is stylishly decorated, and I can tell even if I don’t like it that it’s not a place for a guy like me.
(There are a lot of varieties. Which one is that new product?)
I’ve never been here before, so I don’t know which one is the one I’m looking for. I guess I have to ask the clerk, but… can I do it?
Can I really talk to the store clerks? As far as I could see, all the clerks were women.
Many of them are young, elegant-looking women of university age.
This is a sweets store, after all.
Well, I can’t get anywhere even if I think about it like this. The only way to buy something is to talk to the shopkeeper.
It’s to make my sister happy. Make up your mind, me.
I made up my mind to do so and was about to talk to the nearest clerk when…thump, thump…I felt a touch on my shoulder.
At first I ignored it, thinking that someone’s hand must have hit me by mistake, but a follow-up thump came soon after, so it was not a mistake.
“What are you doing here, Manato?”
This voice sounded familiar. It sounded very similar to someone I had a close relationship with just yesterday. No, it’s not probably
“Hazuki?”
Because it was her.
“Why is Hazuki here? You weren’t at school today, were you?”
“Because I’m feeling better.”
Hazuki certainly looks healthy. Like a predator who is excited to see its prey in front of its eyes.
I know that Hazuki likes sweets too. Hazuki must have come here in search of new products.
I never thought I’d have time to talk to her again. I thought that Hazuki probably didn’t want to talk to me anymore, so I tried to leave…
“Wait a minute.”
“Eh?”
“Answer my question too. Why are you trying to shut up? I’m not finished talking with you, am I?”
“…I’m sorry.”
I wonder, is Hazuki mad at me? Something seems different from Hazuki until yesterday.
“Well…why am I here?”
“Yeah, you’re not here for the girls, are you?”
“Not for a girl, but for Mai…”
“Mai chan?”
“Yeah, Mai loves sweets. I heard that a new product went on sale today, so I thought I’d buy some for Mai.”
I wonder what I’m talking to my ex-girlfriend about.
“Hazuki’s looking for that, right?”
“…Yes. I’m looking for Manato.”
