Takasaka Kaze's love for Mio Akiyama's heart did reach it, but Mio Akiyama ......

Like Kazuta Takasaka?

The answer to this question, Takasaka is too unclear. Even Mio Akiyama herself, she couldn't give a positive answer.

The sun is gradually sinking and will soon disappear above the horizon.

But even so, it selflessly dyes the entire vast and clear sky with brilliant colors, adding a bit of charm to the world.

"Hey, like me?"

"Hmm. ”

Facing Akiyama, who was stumbling and talking, Kazeta nodded slightly.

"Eh, eh?"

Short syllables of surprise fell out of her mouth one after another, and the girl's face clearly carried an expression like "This can't be an April Fool's prank, right?".

"No kidding. If you don't dislike me—"

"Please associate with me. ”

Even if there has been an experience of first love before, it is accepted after the confession, not after the confession.

The first confession in the true sense of life was at this Sakuragaoka High School Festival.。

Without any joke in mind, this is a serious and courageous confession.

The object is a student of the same grade who is both shy and calm, Mio Akiyama.

"That, that, I can't tell you how I feel for Takasaka......"

I've never felt in love, and it's not so strange to say that I don't know my inner feelings.

After Mio Akiyama, who was blushing, stammered and finished speaking, she paused slightly: "However, I don't hate gentle Takasaka." ”

“…… Don't you hate it, and don't like it?"

"It's not like that!"

She must have misunderstood her, and her emotions suddenly became agitated like a fried cat.

After violently refuting Feng Tai, Akiyama was stunned for some reason, and then apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"However, it's not that I don't like it. ”

"That'...... Do you like it?"

“…… I do not know. ”

"I see, I'm sorry, I confessed so abruptly. ”

Smiled bitterly, Feng Tai's mood was a little complicated.

Sure enough, no one will like me now-I don't have any outstanding ability, and I don't have any manly responsibility, it's a real failure......

A lonely expression appeared on his face uncontrollably by the wind.

And this, it happened to be noticed by Akiyama, who was secretly glancing at him.

Takasaka ...... Why put on such a sad face?

In my heart, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Mio Akiyama moved her lips slightly, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't get any crisp syllables out of her mouth.

Silence, silence, silence on both sides.

This silence lasted until Takasaka Kaze forced himself too much to make a calm sound.

"Well, it's better that it didn't happen, I'm really sorry for the trouble. ”

Akiyama's body stiffened at that moment, and his fingers involuntarily twisted the corners of his school uniform.

"So, Autumn ...... I'll go home first, so you have to pay attention to safety on the road. It's not very good that someone happens to pass by like last time, ah, by the way, you ...... with Tanainaka."

The wind chattered endlessly, as if she was a housewife who met an acquaintance on the road. Also, that day was the Monday when the children went to school and the husband went to work.

Why ...... What about me so much?

Obviously, I didn't promise Takasaka.

She pursed her lips, and an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in her heart.

Is it because of tenderness?

Thinking of this, Akiyama took a deep breath.

"Takasaka. ”

Because Akiyama suddenly made a sound, Feng Tai was stunned for a moment and did not speak again.

Taking a deep breath again, Akiyama, who had plucked up his courage, said in a thin voice: "Let's dating, let's try to date for two months." ”

“……”

Unexpectedly, the wind that confessed to Akiyama just now was too elated, and he didn't dance with his hands.

He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Don't force yourself, Akiyama." No one would want this kind of charity, right?"

"W-What! This is not charity!!"

It's not charity.

Just by virtue of the girl's aggrieved and angry voice, Feng Tai was able to understand this.

“…… I understand. ”

"That'...... I like you, Akiyama. ”

"Ahh ”

Bowing his head, Akiyama accepted it with a red face.

……

Since then, a full month has passed.

November 6th, this is the date on the calendar. And there are eight days left before the deadline for submission of light novels, November 14th.

E-mail, send.

Along with this action, Kazeta's light novel, "Even the Gods Want to Go to School", a work with 200,000 words, was accepted by Tanaka, the editor of the Lightning Strike Bunko.

"Wait for the good news, Kazeta. ”

"Hmmm......"

"The content and illustrations are very good, but the chin of the characters in the illustrations is a little pointed (°▽, °)"

“……”

Feng Tai scratched his head and gave an almighty way to reply - three [. 】。

"Do you say ∑ (っ°Д°;) Is the illustrator that the wind knows too loyal and unyielding [melon seed face] party (°□°;))"

"I don't know. Also, by the way, I love sweet tofu brains. ”

As soon as I pressed the enter button on [SNS] to reply to Tanaka, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

Kazeta picked it up and took a look at it - unfortunately, it wasn't his girlfriend Mio Akiyama, nor his childhood friend Yuko Kinoshita.

It's the little princess of the Shimada family, Shimada Hazuki.

Pressing the answer button, he put his ear close to the phone's receiver: "What's wrong, Hazuki?"

"Big brother, open the door. ”

…… Open the door?

Feng Tai subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door.

Is Hazuki at the door?

While this thought popped up, he asked Ye Yue, "Where are you?"

"Big brother guess. ”

"Do you guess me?"

"Hmm, big brother, guess I don't guess, do you guess?"

“……”

Faced with Hazuki, who answered so decisively, Feng Tai instinctively felt that something was wrong.

So, he simply changed the subject: "Ye Yue, can you help me go to the supermarket near my house to buy potato fries?"

"Huh?" Hazuki on the other end made an unknown voice, but quickly reacted: "Okay, it's just at the door of the big brother's room." ”

Hmph, it's a stupid elementary school student.

You can't beat the wisdom of adults!

"Well, wait a minute, big brother. ”

"Wait ......"

"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot Toot. ”

…… Hung up.

Wait, you're not really going to buy fries, are you?!

Hurriedly dialed Hazuki's number, and Feng Tai himself didn't really want to eat potato fries.

However, there was no answer.

Holding the phone and listening to the sound of [doodoo], Takasaka was too silent.
