Class is over and it’s after school.
Arisa came to my seat after getting ready to leave.
“Ryoma, let’s go….. !”
“Yes.”
“…… Ryoma, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
I thought I didn’t show it on my face, but Arisa might have sensed it a little bit.
But it’s okay, I and Arisa are best friends and we’ll never be more …….
This relationship is the most comfortable, isn’t it?
“Shizuku, let’s go.”
“Yes.”
As soon as we got to the end of the school day, we saw Reo going to her girlfriend’s place.
Otsuki is also snuggling Reo
“You two are so hot!”
“You two are so in love!”
The other students shouted.
The two have recently become romantically involved and have become a hot topic of conversation within the school, and in a good way, a target for teasing.
“Isn’t it obvious? Shizuku is the cutest girl in the world.”
“Mouu! Reo kun, you’re embarrassing me.”
Otsuki-san blushed but did not try to hide her happy face.
The two are getting along very well.
“Shizuku didn’t like to show off much, but I guess that changes when you fall in love,…….”
If it were Otsuki san until now, she would be hiding behind Reo’s body, but she is magnificent.
Both of Arisa’s childhood friends have boyfriends and she says that their personality has changed to match their boyfriends.
Arisa may find it complicated, but if they seem happy, that’s probably because they are.
“Otsuki-san has always liked Arisa’s brother until recently, hasn’t she?”
“Yes, as much as I could see it.”
But now she seems to be completely besotted with Reo
It looks like she is still entwining her little fingers with Reo’s hand and appealing to him a lot.
It doesn’t seem like the kind of behavior one would expect from someone who has been confessed to.
“Even when we eat together, all she does is talk about Hirasawa-kun. I can’t stop being jealous”
“It’s all about Otsuki-san over here, too. Well, we’re the ones who put them together, so I guess you could say it can’t be helped.”
“That’s why Ryouma will take care of it. … best friends right.”
“Y-yeah”
Arisa’s words made me a little nervous, but I managed to keep my composure.
But well,…… it’s great to have Arisa next to me like this.
The most adorable girl in school with platinum blonde hair stands out. That is Asahina Arisa.
Mine’s Reo. Arisa’s is Otsuki san. We both have best friends who have moved away ….., so we’re both definitely looking for a replacement for each other.
“Hey, Ryoma.”
Reo and Otsuki-san were coming this way.
“No club activities today, are you two going to go out and play now?”
“Yes, I’m going shopping with Reo-kun.”
It was Otsuki san who answered.
“I see. A nice restaurant for the evening, then?”
I use a polite tone with all the girls except Arisa.
This switch has become a bit of a hassle for me lately.
I used to use honorifics with all the girls, but when I talk to Arisa, I have to use a “friend” tone, which is very difficult.
If I accidentally speak to Arisa in a polite tone, she makes a sad face and asks why I’m being such a stranger.
“No, we’re eating at my place today. Shizuku will cook dinner for me.”
Reo’s parents work overseas and live alone in a big house.
So he used to come over to my house a lot, but lately he’s been spending more time with Otsuki san.
“Don’t be too late! you didn’t know what will happen.”
“I won’t do anything.”
“Eh, you won’t do anything to me. …… Reo kun, I’m lonely”
“No, no, no! That’s a figure of speech!”
Don’t start making out in front of me.
Arisa can’t breathe at Otsuki-san’s act.
“Either way, I can’t keep Shizuku up late, can I?
“Well, yeah.”
“I have a motorcycle license, but it hasn’t been a year yet. If we can ride together and take her home, we can stay together a little later.”
Reo is supposed to take Otsuki san home.
He is not the kind of guy who would let a girl go home alone late at night.
“Arisa.”
“…….”
“Mouu, Arisa!”
“Ha!”
Arisa came to life at the sound of Otsuki-san’s voice.
“You’re going to hang out with Kogure-kun, aren’t you?”
“I’m just going to the café for a bit, though.”
The two of them are going out together, and compared to that, Arisa and I are having a very small amount of fun.
That’s the difference between a girlfriend and a friendship.
“Then tell Kogure-kun about what I said, and if he says yes, send me a message later.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you want to talk about it at the café, that’s fine. Bye then, Arisa, Kogure-kun. Reo-kun, let’s go.”
“Ou, see you later, you two.”
Without getting a clear answer, Reo and Otsuki-san left the classroom.
“There’s something I’d like to ask Ryoma to do for me. …… I’ll talk to you in detail at the café.”
“Okay, I understand. But it’s fun to talk about it with the four of us, isn’t it? It reminds me of the time we went to the amusement park together.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m sure that’s where Shizuku and Hirasawa kun got close to each other and Ryoma and I got close to each other too …….”
“Arisa?”
“It’s nothing.”
In that sense, the four of us could be called best friends.
“Then I wonder if Otsuki san will become a close friend of mine. In that case, should I call her by her first name as well?”
At that moment, Arisa suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders with a firm grip. I almost screamed from the pressure.
“It’s strange. I wonder what are you saying. Ryoma’s tone of voice is for me only. You must use a polite tone with other girls and call them by their last names. Do you understand?”
“Y-yes.”
I didn’t feel like I could resist that pressure no matter how hard I tried.
