Chapter 47 Talk to her (1/2)

Yuuki wrote again on his phone and showed her, [Now, we're friends, this is my gift for.] He gave her hearing aids.

Shouko wanted to reject it again, but Yuuki didn't let him do it. He took her hand and placed it in her hand. He took his phone and wrote. [Don't reject it!]

Shouko smiled helplessly at her new friend and used his hearing aids. She inserted it into her ears and was surprised when she could hear everything around her so clearly.

”Can you hear me?” Shouko heard Yuuki's voice and nodded excitedly in response. She was happy that she could hear him.

”Ye...yeah,” Shouko could talk but it was hard since she couldn't hear anything but she wanted to say thank you to him, ”Th..tha..thankyou.”

”Don't worry about it,” Yuuki was happy that Shouko could hear his voice.”Let me send you home, it's already quite late.” He was worried about her.

Shouko wrote something in her book, ”No, it's okay, I can go home by myself.] She shook her head.

”No, let me do it. I want to talk with you more,” Yuuki said.

Shouko finally nodded and smiled, ”Tha-thank you.”

Yuuki nodded, ”Don't worry, I think I need to learn hand sign language so I can talk with you better.”

Shouko shook her head and wrote [No, I can learn to talk better.] She had this new hearing aid from him and it made it easier for her to have a conversation with everyone. It was as if she wasn't deaf with it.

”Let's learn together then. You teach me hand sign language and you can practice talking with me,” Yuuki said.

Shouko wrote something [Good, we can learn together.] She was happy that they had more time together.

They walked together while having a conversation. It was hard since Shouko had to write her answer on the paper but they were happy to get to know each other. She learned that Yuuki was a student at Fujiyama High School.

”You're from Ousai High School?” Yuuki looked at her strangely. He had heard 'Ousai High School` was an all-girls school where Tsubasa was studying. He didn't expect Shouko to be a student there. He needed to ask Tsubasa about it.

Shouko was surprised to learn that they were the same age. She thought that Yuuki was older than him.

Yuuki twitched his lips when he heard it, ”Sorry, for looking quite old.”

Shouko said, ”So...sorry.” She felt bad about making fun of him.

”Don't worry, I'm just joking,” Yuuki smiled.

Shouko pouted at him and smiled. This was her first time to be happy like this. She didn't want it to be over, but she had already arrived at her house.
