Chapter
It was during the afterschool hours in early June, right after the seasonal change of clothing
I was standing on the rooftop of the darkening school premise
Before rade as me
Harusaki Chiwa
I've been hanging out with her since first grade In other words, she's the so-called childhood friend
High school year one Age 15
Her short stature only reached up tohair on both sides were fastened with ribbons, which , round eyes were, for so like those of a puppy Her skirt, with so, fluttered in the wind
Tiny
Cute
But, deplorable
First, her eyes were deplorable
Attached to an inverse triangular shape, they were bloodshot It seeaze Those upturned eyes were glaring ather
Also, the air around her was deplorable
Her veins were showing on her temples 'Haah, haah', she panted like a beast Her violent aura was as much as to say, 'I just stabbed a person It won't make a difference if I make it t Aah? Nii-chan'
No matter how I looked at it, she was too tensed up
That tensed up Chiwa pointed her tiny finger towards me,
”I-I' to co-confesshyu!”
””
Right at the beginning this fella had stuttered
”Even when I talk about confessing, I' about 'I actually failed!' or 'the person who ate the shortcake was me!'”
Who would actually take the trouble to call s?
”The confession I' about i-is a l-love confession”
I heaved a large sigh
As I squintedsun, I calmed myself
”I got it Let s”
”Y-Yesh!+”
'Suuhaa, suuhaa', Chiwa took a few deep breaths
”Can you wait for a while?”
”What now?”
”Wait for a while, just wait for a while”
Chient to the entrance of the rooftop to retrieve the belongings she had left there
What she took out fro, was a shi+nai[2]
By the way, Chias not a rade, she didn't carry on in high school[4]
Yet, she adopted a ht for some reason
”Alright, I'm set!”
”No, you aren't?!”
”But, I feel calmer like this”
Indeed, her nervousness had left her
Her expression had also become relaxed
”Hnnnnn! So up! Prepare yourself!”
”Hey, isn't this a confession? A love confession, right?!”
My body sensed danger and I backed off
”That's right, it's a confession Ki-eeeeee!”
In a splendid manner, Chiwa shuffled her feet forward and closed in
”W-Wait, wait! What kind of girl would brandish a shi+nai while confessing?!”
”Don't sweat it Even my sensei from before once said, 'don't fuss too much over the form'”
Of course I would fuss over it! It's my life here!
”B-but, didn't you give up on the sword? Aren't you going to walk the path of romance? Didn't you say that you wanted to have a love life like those in shoujo a[5]?!”
I desperately tried to persuade her
To think that a love confession could be this dangerous
”I got it”
Chiered her shi+nai
”Sorry Let's redo it I'll get it right this time”
Chiwa stiffened herself and looked up at me
Her black eyes were gooey-looking like those of a puppy
Her soft-looking hair fluttered in the wind
Her srasped her skirt and then released it nervously
Uhn, high quality indeed
From her appearance, it was quite unbelievable that she had no boyfriend up until now
”Erm, hey Ei-kun[6]”
Ei-kun
That's hoa addresses me, Kidou Eita
'It's e, so please stop', I've told her that umpteen times, but she never did stop, even until today
”Ei-kun, I can still rerade while carrying your lunch to the classrooot the nickname 'Careless Indian'”
”Aah”
Hahaha
That was a good old 'story that was still funny today' to bring up between the two of us
”I know that in fifth grade, when you couldn't hold it in any longer, you dashed into the women's toilet, and consequently, for the entire second term, you were called 'Women's Toilet Overdrive'”
”Gufu”
I clutched round
Th-That nickna for a joke you know, Chiwa
”And during surade, you hid the pornbook, 'Doppyun Serenade'[7], which you picked up froe, in a puppy's kennel”
”Please stoooooooooop! I beg you, forgive meeeeeeeeeee!”
I'm already
I'e of tears
Dug up
My dark history has been dug up
”I really love the Ei-kun who did all this”
”Stop lying?!”
What kind of maniac hobbies do you have?
With a seely perplexed look, Chiwa said,
”What do you ? I really”
”What are you planning to do by exposing my past? Is there a confession that deals out such a blow of e?”
”But the o well! 'This fella can actually res to such an extent'!, 'Because, I've been alatching you ☆', it said”
No
While I don't know the contents of that a, words like 'women's toilet' and 'Doppyun Serenade' shouldn't appear in it
”Anyway, it's a love confession, right? You should be praisingearnestly' Or like 'You scored the highest in the recent mid-terms'”
Hm, Chiwa folded her arms and looked away
”Because that's all boring”
”What do you ! Isn't it the duty of a student to study?!”
”I preferred the idiot Ei-kun in h”
”I even took such great pains to beco partner, so what's with that attitude?!”
”What's with that belittling look?! Even when you're younger than me!”
”Only by threesister, this 'Deplorable chia'[8]'!”
And at that moment
”That should be enough, both of you”
A girl stepped out from the shadow of the water tank
Her long silver hair danced in the wind
She gazed at us with her clear, blue eyes
Her skin hite like powdered snow, and her lips were lustrous looking like cherries
With foreign blood mixed in, this fairy-like beauty —if Chiwa could be considered 'ordinarily cute', then this fella could be called 'incredibly beautiful' A princess who hogged irls would be unable to lay their hands on, no matter how much they wished for them
My classmate Natsukawa Masuzu
'Fuu', she breathed out as she tilted her head,
”Is it really i partner of a love confession, I wonder?”
”That's why I said that right fro, didn't I?!”
