After I had checked out some of the novels introduced to me by Nagisa senpai, I wandered around the large library, looking for references.
Of course, the purpose of my visit to the library was to find a book on how to write a script.
Thankfully, Nagisa senpai was searching with me.
Suddenly, Nagisa senpai, who was looking up at the bookshelf a little distance from me, beckoned to me.
“Asahi san, I found it.”
“Really !”
What Nagisa found was a beginner’s guide book titled [How to Write a Script Even a Monkey Can Understand].
The book was exactly what I was looking for.
However, the instruction book was placed on the top shelf of a tall bookshelf.
The library at my school had a large number of books, and each bookshelf was large.
The top shelf could only be reached by the ace members of the basketball or volleyball teams.
I, who was neither of those club members and was just a go-home club member, could barely touch the spines of the books and couldn’t pick them up.
Then Nagisa senpai walked somewhere.
“I’ll go get the stepladder.”
“Ah, yes.”
I didn’t know there was a stepladder. I thought…..
After a while, Nagisa senpai brought a stepladder from somewhere……
“Is this okay? It’s pretty shabby…..”
“Right, it’s pretty old. But this is the only one I could find……”
When I put my foot on the stepladder to try it out…..it made a squeaky unpleasant sound.
And it’s wobbly and unstable.
It seemed as if it was on the verge of collapsing if I put both of my feet on it.
When I was hesitating to get on the stepladder, Nagisa senpai put her foot on it.
“Asahi san, can you support me? I’ll get on.”
“Eh, no. It’s dangerous.”
I”‘ll be fine. I think I’m lighter than you, so it’s safer.”
“No, but……”
“Please rely on your senior a little.”
“……Yes. If that’s the case, I understand.”
Having said that, I couldn’t refuse. Besides, I thought it would make more sense for Nagisa senpai, who is lighter than me, to stand on the stepladder and having me to support her.
Nagisa senpai carefully climbed up the stepladder, while I held the stepladder firmly so that it would not shake.
Then, when she lifted her heels a little and was about to reach for a book.
The stepladder made a creaking sound.
“Senpai, please be careful.”
I let out an unintentionally silly voice.
When I looked up, the hem of her skirt was just above my eye level, and a white cloth, which was different from the skirt, entered my vision.
“Yes, it’s all right–hyaa ! D-don’t look……!”
“I-I’m sorry……I mean, Senpai, don’t be violent…..!”
“Eh—“
The moment Senpai held the hem of the skirt as quickly as she could, I heard the creaking…..and the stepladder dying sound.
The foot of the stepladder breaks, and Nagisa senpai loses her balance and falls down due to the big swing.
“N-Nagisa senpai…..!”
I tried to catch her as quickly as I could, but the momentum of the fall pushed me off balance, and I fell to the floor as it was.
With a thud—I received a strong impact on my back, but fortunately thanks to the carpet on the floor of the library, I didn’t feel much pain.
I immediately turned my attention to Nagisa senpai, who was clutching my chest.
“A-are you okay, Senpai !? Are you injured….?”
“…..N-no.”
“Haa, I’m glad to hear that……”
The moment I feel relieved, my body loses its strength.
As I was stroking my chest, Senpai came into close contact with my chest.
“S-Senpai…..?”
A warm sigh hits my chest.
It seems like something similar happened before……..
Involuntarily remembering what happened on the weekend made my heart beat even louder.
Nagisa-senpai was silent for a while with her face down on my chest, but…..she suddenly raised her body and for some reason peered into my face.
T-too close……
Ba-dump—-the moment our eyes meet, my heart skips a beat.
Nagisa senpai’s face, which is so close that her breath reaches my cheeks, is slightly flushed, and her big wet eyes blink while staring at me.
Her glossy black hair flutters down her neck, and the pleasant scent of shampoo spreads.
I found myself in a position where I was being mounted by Nagisa senpai.
Her small cherry-red lips. Her fine white skin. Her usual expressionless face was covered with red color, and Nagisa senpai brought her beautiful face, like a Western doll, close to me.
“U-um,…..it’s a bit…….”
I’m so nervous that my heart aches.
What is the atmosphere like now and what will happen in the future?
It was easy for me to imagine.
I unintentionally closed my eyes tightly.
However, the feeling that I had anticipated did not come easily.
Then, I suddenly felt a thin finger touch my forehead.
When I slowly open my eyes, I see Nagisa senpai touching my bangs with a worried look on her face.
“Is this a scar…..?”
‘Eh……. Ah, kind of……”
Apparently, it was not the development I thought it would be.
Although I was tormented by mixed emotions whether I felt relieved or not, I realized that my body temperature had risen sharply due to embarrassment.
I put my hand on my forehead to cover it up.
“T-this scar is from an accident I had once upon a time…….”
“An accident, you say……?”
“Yes, apparently I was hit by a car when I was in ninth grade.”
“Apparently? You don’t remember?”
“When I woke up I was in the hospital, so I don’t remember the accident.”
Yes, I was in a car accident about a year ago……apparently.
I don’t remember much about the accident because it was only a moment, and my parents told me about it later.
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“I hardly have any pain anymore. It looks bothersome, but I feel like Harry Potter, so I think it’s okay.”
I would say that the pain is almost completely gone, except for an occasional headache when it rains.
When I laughed optimistically, Nagisa senpai made an exasperated face.
Or rather, more than that……”
“U-um……Senpai, it’s time for you to step aside……”
“Ah, I-I’m sorry…….”
I remembered that we were keeping our bodies in close contact.
When Nagisa senpai tried to retreat from me in a panic.
Suddenly, I hear the pitter-patter of busy footsteps.
“–T-there was a great sound, are you okay…….whaaa.”
The one who peeked through the cracks in the bookshelf was a female librarian.
It looks like she misunderstood us by looking at us…
“S-sorry to disturbed you.”
“W-wait a minute ! This is not…….! !”
My desperate voice echoes through the quiet library.
Nagisa senpai, who was straddling me, pressed the side of her forehead and let out a sigh.

After the library staff member’s misunderstanding was cleared up and Asahi left the library after borrowing materials for his script, Nagisa was lost in thought as she selected a book she had yet to read.
Just the other day, she heard a consultation from her childhood friend and best friend, Hanabi.
To be honest, what Hanabi told her was so hard to believe.
However, his reaction convinced her that it was true.
No, she wanted to believe that it was true……it seems.
“After all, it really is true that Asahi san is…..”
Nagisa’s expressionless face seemed to distort somewhat sadly.
