After school that day, Yamazaki and Aki started collecting straw.
In the end, they gave up collecting straw at school in tears, but I didn’t pay any attention to them and started to go home.
(A week has passed since then, but……)
I don’t think I’ve been able to deepen my relationship with Sakura much.
Well, compared to the first time in high school, we are able to talk much more.
However, my goal is to become a guy that Sakura will like and….eventually confess my feelings to her and get married.
I can do my best to improve myself at home, but I want to deepen the relationship value so that confession can be successful in other aspects.
Besides–
(I want to know what kind of guy Sakura likes.)
If that’s the case, it might be better to invite Sakura to have fun with her after school.
If we go shopping or to some leisure facility, we can expect to have a relationship that goes beyond schoolmates. Rather, since the goal is to have a relationship, it is essential to have a relationship where we can see each other outside of school.
After all, most of the people who were dating go out on holidays or after school.
If I can’t make time for after-school activities, my relationship value with Sakura will end there. It is a good indicator that the relationship value in the school has not yet been earned.
(If that’s the case, I should ask her out.)
I stand up with my bag.
Sakura was still in her seat, stuffing her textbooks into her bag.
If she hadn’t gone home, it would be convenient. If I wanted to ask her out, this would be the only time to do so.
With that in mind, I went to Sakura’s place–
“Aoi, are you there?”
I was about to go, when suddenly the classroom door opened and Kisara appeared.
That was enough to make everyone around me say, [Aizu senpai !?] And, [She’s as beautiful as ever……] and so on.
Kisara’s reputation seems to be as famous as ever in school.
As I walked down the corridor many times, I had the opportunity to hear Kisara talk.
If you’re that good-looking and you’re in a different world than everyone else, I can understand your feelings.
……I remember that I didn’t hear much about it the last time I was there? Was it because I didn’t pay much attention?
Ignoring my doubts and the reactions of those around her, Kisara appeared and walked toward me.
“What’s up?”
“If you have time, I was wondering if you could accompany me for a little practice.”
“Ah……I see.”
What should I do?
I don’t have any special plans, and I could accept Kisara’s invitation, but the timing is bad.
When I was about to invite Sakura, a conflict arose as to what to do.
(No, but thinking about it, it doesn’t have to be today.)
I can ask her out tomorrow…..but it’s not possible, so the day after tomorrow or next week would be fine.
Since I’ve decided not to rush, it would be strange to refuse Kisara’s request here.
Besides, I can practice too, so I want to practice.
“Do you have something for Misaki san, Kisara san?”
I was about to agree to it when Sakura suddenly came in with her bag.
“I was thinking of doing some training with Aoi. I’ve got a job coming up, so I thought I’d ask him to come along.”
“I see, so that’s what this is about.”
Sakura put her hand on her chin and shook her head.
That figure was strangely cute, and I thought I’d like to capture it in a photo.
“If so, would it be alright if I join you?”
Hm…..then I have no choice but to participate.
Instead of killing two birds with one stone, it was an invitation to kill three birds with one stone.
“Fine by me, but are you okay with your work? Didn’t you say you were stuck at work the other day?”
“I was going to take today off to read the script. I don’t have any lessons, and I think I’ll learn better with you all than practicing by myself.”
“If that’s the case, it’s fine with me. But Aoi–
“How could I refuse ! ! !”
“…I thought so. I don’t know why you’re so motivated today.”
Of course it’s natural to be so motivated.
It means I get to spend time with Sakura, and also–
(It’s the first time in a while that I get to see Sakura’s performance up close.)
I can learn more from seeing her live than actually watching her on TV.
Sakura is so good at acting that she is famous at her age.
It is only natural that I would be more motivated than usual in terms of improving my own technique.
“Well, if that’s the case, then it’s decided. Now we just need to figure out where we’re going to do it…….”
“Let’s not go to the Internet cafe like last time. The stares around me make it hard to concentrate, and it’s embarrassing.”
“My office doesn’t have any rooms available at this time today either.”
“It’s difficult for me to invite an outsider to come and practice in person, because I have to go through the procedures beforehand.”
Then, where should we do it?
If it were my house, my parents would basically be away, and my sister would be in college, so worst case scenario, I could be the candidate as a place to practice.
However, I wonder if it would be okay to invite a girl to a single guy’s house.
Since I don’t have any experience with women, I’m not quite sure where the line lies.
Looking at Kisara’s reaction, who didn’t say anything, it seems that the studio she used the other day is not available, so it’s a bit of a quandary.
As I think about it–
“Well, would you like to do it at my place?”
“……Huh?”
Sakura suddenly started to say something like that.
“Oh, that sounds great.”
“Is that okay !?”
There is a guy in here, are you sure you have that in your head?
“Why are you reacting like that?”
“No, because I’m a man !?”
“I don’t really mind.”
…..Is that how it is?
Am I just distraught, or do young people today have no qualms about inviting the opposite sex?
Well, maybe they are. It is also possible that I’m just overly conscious and think it is impossible.
If that’s the case, I should try not to be too conscious of it either.
……I can’t believe that this is where the harm of not having friends comes out.
“Certainly, if it’s someone of the opposite sex, I will think about it a little more, but if it’s Misaki san, there’s no problem.”
“I don’t mind if it’s Aoi either. In that case, would you like to come over to my house next time?
“O-oh…….”
No, it doesn’t seem so.
But am I so trusted? Of course I’m happy, but I don’t know why, and I can’t help but tilt my head.
“Ah, but don’t worry.”
“Why?”
“I know you wouldn’t do anything…..but if you did, I would crush you.”
I couldn’t feel the slightest sense of security from the crushing remarks that seemed to affect the human body in any part.
“Let’s go to Hiiyo’s house right away. It’s a waste of time.”
“Fufu, certainly.”
With that, the two of them took my bag and my arm and walked out of the classroom.
Why did they trust me so much?
I didn’t really understand, but at any rate, I left the classroom as they took me by the arm.
♦️♦️♦️
“Since everyone in the class will be doing karaoke, I was thinking of inviting Misaki and Sakura san to join, but…”
“Hey, if you already know, you shouldn’t disturb them.”
“As expected, I can’t get in the way of practice, so I’ll invite them next time. I want to play with those two.”
“Agree !”
