Volume 1 Chapter 1 (2/2)

”I' for the stars”

Stars? It tookabout the meteor shower that was supposed to happen in six days Now that I think about it, I re about it thisUntil this moment it had completely slipped my mind

Around these parts you can get a great view of an annual e where I was born, they held a star festival right around this time each year Of course, back in ht, it was probably because I had gotten sick of the traditional dishes they only served at the festival

Regardless, there was no doubt in my mind the meteor shoas six days from now

”Sorry to let you down, but the meteor shower doesn't start for six more days”

”I know that The dolphins begin waiting for it seven days early”

The lance atabout?

I wanted to ask hi with confidence I just couldn't bring aze, but it only led me to the expansive star-filled sky Many of these stars were usually invisible, the faint light they elow of the city

The man suddenly spoke

”A few htly, just like a child It was truly a joy to watch you Would youyour name with me?”

Did he just say shi+ning? At first I thought he was being sarcastic, but when I saw his innocent smile, I felt my tension loosen up a little

Yeah, there was definitely soely co here beside him

”It’s 'Naoyuki,' written with the second character of 'obedient' and the character for 'to go' ”

”'Naoyuki'…Wait, did you say 'Naoyuki'?”

”Yeah, is there so?”

He see in response but kept quiet After a few

”Hehe, is that so? So you're 'Naoyuki,' huh? I'm nameless You can call me whatever you like, but this name is my favorite”

Nameless? Did that mean he didn't have a real name? I was also curious why he seemed to like my name so much But before I had a chance to ask him, he seemed to lose interest in the conversation

There was souy, but I didn't sense anyabout his identity or personal situation Regardless of who he atching the stars by his side like this was actually kind of nice

”So Na for the stars……Does that ain tomorrow?”

”Sure will Tomorrow, the day after that, and the day after that…I'll be here every day until I see the meteor shower”

I smiled; he sounded as if he intended to stay here for the next six days straight But surely he ht

Tomorroould be here And I'd be able to watch the stars with hiain For some reason this put my mind at ease Perhaps because he had concealed his identity, I felt as if he ht disappear into a puff of s I'd be able to bask a little longer in the comfort of this place I'd stumbled upon

I let hiain tomorrow and then sprinted all the way ho ht that I ht scratch upwhat toht sky would be like
