At the coffee shop where Yanagi first met Kagami, Yanagi, who has been skipping high school since becoming a JK writer, was having a meeting with her editor today to discuss ers novel and report on her recent activities.
“Yanagi san, how is the manuscript coming along?”
“80% of it is still unwritten.”
“You mean……you’ve only completed 20% of it?”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, that’s troubling….. I told you that now is the time to release new works and sell them as fast as you can, since Yuunagi Yanagi’s Hekireki no Ao has been made into a movie adaptation, right?”
“That’s true, but…… Uuuu～～. I’m not motivated to do so. I don’t want to write unless I can have a date with Kagami sama.”
This again….the editor thought.
Yanagi is the type of writer who always starts to get discouraged after writing about 20% of the first half, wondering, [Huh? Is this work interesting?]
Even so, when she manages to force herself to write about 50% of the work, she again asks, [Huh? Is it interesting?] and she writes quickly until the end…….
Between 20% and 50% of the time, she would start rambling on and on about some impossible task, just like Princess Kaguya, but the [impossible task] that Yanagi mentioned was a little different from the usual.
“If you want a date, why don’t you just go on a date? After that, please submit the manuscript as soon as possible.”
“Wait, wait, wait !? How is it possible for Kagami sama and I to be on a date?”
“No, you just exchanged contact information the other day, right? Then why don’t you just go out and have fun? I think if you ask him to go out with you for a day or so, he will probably do so. You are the same age, after all.”
Besides, the editor was aware of the fact that Yanagi and Kagami were exchanging emails frequently (mainly because Yanagi would report back to him as if she were in love).
That’s why he made such a suggestion…..
“No, no, no……even so. How do I invite him !? I don’t have any friends, so I don’t know.”
If anything, the ediotr’s suggestion was a bit of a surprise to Yanagi, as she was only trying to make an excuse for not being able to do so. No, she wants to go on a date if it’s possible. If she could, she would be willing to die.
I have such feelings, but I don’t know how to ask him out. Besides, if I was rejected, or even if I wasn’t, I would be too embarrassed to ask Kagami sama, whom I genuinely love, out on a date.
“It’s fine. You usually just type an email saying, [Saturday or Sunday, if you’re free either way, would you like to hang out with me?]. That’s all you have to do, and maybe you can get a date with Kagami san.”
“J-just type…….”
Yanagi gulped.
The combination of anticipation and nervousness made her back teeth click and her fingertips tremble as she simply typed in the messages. Still, she managed to type, [If you’re free either Saturday or Sunday, would you like to hang out with us?] As instructed by the editor.
It should be okay. The editor, who is a college graduate and has a high level of communicative ability, had instructed me to type the sentence.
There should be nothing wrong with it. There should be no discourtesy.
The editor, by the way, was also hoping for a good response.
To be frank, the other person is that Kagami. So rejection is normal.
But if things go well, the manuscript might get a super-fast turnaround. –Besides, it’s not a job offer this time. It’s just for fun.
Yanagi is a pretty girl, and she is the same age as Kagami.
And Kagami is a boy, he certainly wouldn’t refuse Yanagi’s invitation. There are such odds.
I was praying, but still—Yanagi’s giggles stopped in an instant, as she was praying to God.
And then, a few minutes later. [Is this Saturday OK? By all means, let’s hang out.] came the reply.
“Finally ! ! At last ! Kagami sama ! ! !”
“Good for you !”
Both Yanagi and the editor were overjoyed, raising their voices like idiots in the daytime.
◇
While Yanagi and the editor were overjoyed at their favorite coffee shop, Kagamiya was smiling and relaxing his face.
Saturday. Kagamiya was buoyed by Yanagi’s invitation to hang out (although it was labeled as such, he actually thinks it’s a date).
This message came just as he was thinking about how to make friends with Yanagi in order to achieve his ultimate goal of exchanging selfies this morning.
What a perfect timing invitation.
To be honest, Kagamiya had never received an invitation from a girl to go out on a holiday date, so he thought for a few minutes, not knowing what to say in reply, and finally asked, [Is this Saturday OK? By all means, let’s hang out.]
After a while, there was a reply, [Is the meeting place in front of XX station OK?] He replied, [Got it.]
Kagamiya was already excited.
Following a selfie from Momo this morning, he received an invitation for a date from Yanagi. Today is a really good day.
I hope I can get along with Yanagi.
Kagamiya was thinking about that and smiling as he looked at the messages. The teacher got angry with him because he was in the middle of class.
