The first day back after the break. I arrived at Asahina’s house earlier than usual. There was a reason I came earlier than usual!
“Asahina!”
I pressed the doorbell, but Asahina didn’t come out. I know your behavior pattern! You overslept because it’s the first day back after the long break!
“I have to call her!”
I hurriedly took out my cell phone and tapped Asahina’s name. The ringtone sounded twice.
“…Huh, what…?”
“It’s Kuga! I’m at the front door right now!”
“Ryo-kun has turned into Merry-san…”
I could hear the sound of clothes rustling from the speaker. I thought so, but it seems she was really fast asleep in her futon.
“Good morning…”
Asahina appeared at the front door with the phone still pressed to her ear.
“Good morning, sleepyhead.”
Seeing Asahina, I hung up the phone.
“I won’t deny it.”
“Please learn to deny it.”
When I said that, Asahina smiled contentedly for some reason.
“By the way, why are you wearing your uniform today, Ryo?”
“It’s typical of you to forget not only the start of Golden Week but also the end.”
“Aaaah!”
Ah, Asahina made a loud noise, which was rare.
“My…! My plans!”
“Plans? Did you have something planned for today?”
“I planned to spend the day lazing around with Ryo.”
“That’s not a plan! Hurry up and get ready!”
“Okay.”
Asahina returned to her room with a light step. Surprisingly, she seems to wake up easily. But she sleeps a lot!
“My uniform… Where did I put my uniform…?”
“You put it in the closet in the back, right?”
“Oh, you’re right.”
“Why do I know that…?”
“On the contrary, don’t you know where everything is when the room is messy?”
“I know, but I don’t want to know.”
“Oh no, Ryo-kun is angry…”
No, I’m not angry at all. Besides, I’m a little sleep deprived myself.
“Hmm…”
While waiting for Asahina to get ready, I decided to look through the Development notebook.
・Attitude toward life (stay awake during class, don’t be late)
・Personal appearance (comb your hair, dress neatly)
・Meals (don’t just eat at convenience stores, try to eat more nutritious food)
In the end, I couldn’t think of any other Development plans during Golden Week. Of course, I will continue with these three, but I want to incorporate something a little more in-depth.
Something that would make Asahina like herself as she is now… Thinking that, I couldn’t help but put all my effort into it, and I couldn’t casually add to the plan.
“Ryo, what are you doing?”
“I’m thinking of revising Asahina’s development notebook…”
“Hmm?”
Asahina came over to me, wiping her face. She looked at my notebook and furrowed her brow for some reason.
“I’ll draw a double line here.”
“Nooooooo!”
The cover of the notebook had “Asahina Toka, Re-development (Tentative) Plan” written on it, but Asahina drew double lines over the ‘Asahina’ and “(Tentative)” parts.
“Asahina is so careless!”
“Now it’s just ‘Toka, Re-development Plan.’”
The title of the notebook was rewritten with a shaky handwritten line. I wish she had just used a ruler instead.
“By the way, I have something to say to Ryo, who’s in a bad mood today.”
“No, I’m not in a bad mood at all.”
“That’s a lie! You were made to wait outside and got upset!”
“I wasn’t, I wasn’t!”
Being told that makes me sound like a really narrow-minded person. Even now, Asahina is just in a hurry because she’s usually laid-back in the morning!
“Why don’t we stop by the hardware store on the way home today?”
“The hardware store? Why?”
“I’m thinking of getting a spare key made.”
“For whose house?”
“My house.”
“Why?”
“For Ryo-kun.”
“Huh?”
“Yes.”
Asahina brought a comb and sat down in front of me.
“Then you can come into my room anytime to wake me up, right?”
“Uh, yeah…”
“What are you doing? Hurry up and do my hair.”
My head and body froze. Asahina-san, isn’t your sense of distance a little off? I saw a glimpse of it when we held hands the other day…
“Come on, that’s weird!”
“It’s not weird. It’s more convenient that way.”
“It’s convenient, but it’s not supposed to be convenient!”
Giving a spare key to someone who isn’t family or a couple—what’s going on here? I could take it positively that she trusts me that much, but…
“The spare key is fine. I can’t accept a spare key to a girl’s room.”
“That”
“That? The Notebook?”
“Take responsibility.”
“What!?”
“It’s Ryo-kun’s fault for giving water to the dead me.”
“That’s the worst way to put it.”
Asahina is giving off a annoyed vibe. Now I can’t tell who’s angry anymore.
“Read that notebook.”
“Asahina Toka, Re-Development Plan (Draft)”
“I revised it, didn’t I?”
“Toka, Re-Development Plan”
“Hehe.”
