Episode 1 – beauty salon debut

If you have energy, you can do anything. In other words, if you don’t have energy, you can’t do anything.

By this theory, the person next to Amamiya san at the seat change this time is a person who cannot do anything. Considering that she will be a university student in less than two years, she needs to change her mindset as soon as possible.

It’s just a coincidence that we ended up next to each other. There’s probably nothing I can do, but I must do whatever I can to save her.

“Good morning!　Amamiya-san!”

Every day and every social interaction begins with a greeting. Let me start your day, Amamiya-san.

“……! Gggg,……, good morning,……,”

I thought she jerked her body and returned the greeting with a squirm.

If she were a child, we could wait for her to grow up slowly. But we are already high school sophomores. There is no time to take it easy. Neither time nor the commuter train would wait for us.

“Amamiya-san, let’s do it again.”

“Eh, eh, eh?”

“Good morning! It’s a beautiful morning!”

“Good morning, …….”

Mm ……. She is still small, but I can hear her significantly better than before. After all, she has room to grow. It is no exaggeration to say that she has plenty of room to grow.

“I think it’s a bit hard for her to suddenly speak out loud.　Let’s start by practicing with a smile.”

“…………?　Um, ……?”

She seemed to be puzzled.

I see, I must not have conveyed my intention. If I think about it calmly, I must seem like a bit of a rude guy right now. Suddenly I’m giving life guidance to my classmates, which is a little rude.

“Amamiya, let’s get your eyes out first.”

Her bangs are just barely in violation of school rules. Can she really see the front? Since her eyes are completely hidden, she may eventually get hurt due to poor visibility.

“Um ……? This is …… um …….”

“I know. I know what you’re thinking: trendy haircut, cutting edge fashion, right?”

I don’t know much about fashion, but I can tell that she is intentionally growing her bangs long. I know that, don’t you? There is no reason for her to grow her bangs this long except to be fashionable.

“No, umm ……”

“It looks good on you. It’s very cute.”

“Cute ……?　Oh, um, …….”

Well, I’m glad you’re pleased. To develop someone, you need to start with a compliment. I don’t know what’s so attractive about this haircut, but no one is offended by a fashionable compliment. I don’t know what’s so attractive about this haircut, but no one is offended by a fashionable compliment.

“I like your hair, but I want to look at your eyes.”

“my eyes ……?”

Eye contact is the foundation of human communication. If you don’t make eye contact, you can be misinterpreted as not listening to what you have to say, and it’s a waste of time to hide it. The more I think about it, the more irrational her hair looks!　I must give her a haircut, no matter what it takes!

“I won’t say “orcibly. But eventually, I’d like to see Amamiya-san’s true face.”

“Um, it’s not that interesting. ……”

“I’m not looking for interesting. I just want to see your face every day since we’re sitting next to each other.”

It’s like wearing a mask. It’s hard to get to know someone when their face is hidden.

“Maybe you’ll get bored of …… just once, you know?”

“Bored? No, although that is unlikely.”

Is there such a thing as getting bored with a person’s face?　I don’t know, but is it a girl’s particular sensibility?　Ha!　Well, that’s why girls wear makeup!?

“…… Yes.”

She seems to have given up on something and moves her bangs to the side to reveal her bare face. Hmmm …….

“What a lovely face you have!”

It’s as lovable as a small animal. The eyes are gentle and human-like, and the nose is low and adorable. Generally speaking, a taller nose is more attractive, but this size seems to be the most balanced in terms of her facial parts.

“…… Eh?”

“It’s hard to be fashionable, isn’t it? I can’t believe you went to the trouble of hiding such a beautiful face.”

There was a theory that she was so ugly that she could never show it, though I could never say it out loud.
If this was the case, I could have demanded to show face right after the seat change.

“L-lovely…… eh? Beautiful……?　
Eh, eh, eh …….”

Probably the same mindset. It must be like putting gold leaf on the lining of your clothes, fashionable in a way that people can’t see. Is this what you call “ flirtatiousness”?It certainly caught me by surprise.

“It’s a shame to hide it, but I’m not so tactless as to meddle in fashion. But could you at least show me your face when you talk to me?”

If you keep showing it to me, I bet you’ll get used to it eventually. It’s like putting your feet in hot water a little at a time. By the way, if you have a hard time getting into a hot bath, you shouldn’t be in it in the first place!　It puts a strain on your heart!

“Hatoyama kun, ……?　It’s, uh, …….”

“I’m sitting next to you. I want to hear your voice, I want to see your face, and I want to know more about you.”

As she gains experience in conversation, she will naturally gain confidence in herself. Her calmness is one of her charms, but she is in danger of drowning in the rough and tumble of society if she doesn’t change her mind before the seat change. She must change her mindset before she changes seats. ……

“Oh, ah,…… um, sorry,…… I need to use the bathroom for a minute,……”

Oh?　She’s gone, huh?

Well, I thought she was acting strange, but I guess she was holding up the bathroom. I’m sorry about this. I think back on it, her face was red and she must have been holding it in for a long time. Would she make it in time?

After that, I tried to talk to her every break time, but every time she left the room to go to the restroom at about the same time. I’m impressed that she seems to be keeping herself hydrated.

Anyway, she has grown a lot over the course of the day. Her voice is now easier to hear, and she can now show me just one eye.

The problem is that today is Friday. With a holiday in between, she could revert back to her old self.

But I can’t just barge into her house. I have to trust her for now.

“Oh, good morning, ……, Hatoyama kun”

Monday after the holiday. It seems that Amamiya-san got the message that I was thinking of her, and she greeted me. And above all, …….

“Good morning! You look so refreshed!”

“Y-yes. …….”

She cut off those annoying bangs with ease. It must have taken a lot of courage to cut a woman’s hair, which could be considered her life. If I were allowed, I would want to show my respect to her and hug her. I don’t want people around me to think it’s unhealthy behavior, so I refrain from doing that.

“Your previous hairstyle was cute, but now it’s even cuter.”

Not only is it crisp and clean, but it’s clearly silky smooth. I’m only guessing, but I’m sure she went to a place called a beauty salon. I’m sure it’s not against school rules, so I’m not going to say anything about it.

“……, thank you …….”

I’m sure she’s growing up, and I’m glad she’s thanking me so well. The day is not far off when I can leave her alone. You’re doing a great job, Amemiya.

“Can I get a closer look?”

Considering the speed at which she is growing, it should be okay to get a little closer. We have a time limit before we have to change seats, so let’s attack her as much as possible.

“awawawa… ……! Um, um, …… sorry!　Bathroom!”

There you go again ……. Great job on the hydration, but I’d suggest you regulate the amount a bit more. Water is not something that you can just take.

Also, isn’t it a bit vulgar to announce in front of boys that you are going to the bathroom?　I’m sure the guys will guess without even bothering to say so, so it’s better to blur it out.

…… And by the way, you look even lovelier than I thought you would. The impression seems to be quite different between moving her hair out of the way and cutting it off. Why did she hide it until now?　It’s really difficult to be a girl and fashionable. I wish I could learn through her.
