Ayanokoji pov
Now it's spring break and the time is around noon, and I spend my time drinking coffee and reading a book borrowed from C-class Hiyori Shiina.
"Hmm? Email from Hiyori?"
The sender was Hiyori, who lent me the book I'm reading.
"Hello, Ayanokoji-kun. I'm sorry for the sudden email, but can you give me some time today? .I'd like to talk a little ... "
Consultation from Hiyori?
I and Hiyori usually spend time as reading companions, but we haven't talked much about anything other than books.
Anyway, I decided to reply .
"It's okay, can you tell me the place where we are meeting ?"
"Thank you. I'm in the school library right now, so let's meet there."
"I understand. I think I might arrive within 20 minutes."
"OK, I'm waiting."
Everyone has to wear a uniform at school.
I immediately changed into my uniform and left the room.
➖ School library ➖
Upon arriving at the school library, I looked at her back, which seemed to be Hiyori, and called out to her.
"Hiyori. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"Ayanokoji-kun. I'm the one who asked you to come, so don't worry."
"Yes. By the way, why is Mei-chan here?"
When I entered the library and met Hiyori, the one next to her is Mei-chan, who is in the same class as me.
"I'm sorry, Ayanokoji-kun. Actually, I have something to talk about with you and hiyori."
"Hiyori, is this related to the consultation?"
"Yes. I was also consulted by Mei-chan, but after hearing the story, I decided that Ayanokoji-kun's cooperation was necessary, so I called you."
My cooperation is needed... I have some unpleasant feelings, but is it okay ... I decided to listen to the story for the time being.
"So Mei-chan. Can you tell me the story which you said hiyori?"
"I think Ayanokoji-kun is probably aware of it, but I want to get along with Hirata-kun more!"
After all ... It's easy to imagine that Mei-chan calls me because of Hirata.
"Get along ... what should I do specifically?"
Mi-chan "That's ..."
"" I want you to have a date !!! ""
eh? Date? What does she mean?
I couldn't catch up with what's going on.
"Mei-chan. Ayanokoji-kun might misunderstand "
"Eh? Oh, sorry ... it sounded like a date with me with Ayakoji-kun. Aha."
Either way, I don't like dating, but why are you staring at me rather than her Hiyori?
"Do you want to have a date with Mei-chan Ayanokoji-kun?"
"No, I didn't think about that."
"Ayanokoji-kun. Does that mean that I'm not attractive as a woman from the perspective of a man?
Me I-chan looks at me with eyes that are about to start crying. This must be resolved quickly ...
"That's not the case. I think Mei-chan is attractive from the perspective of a man."
"Really ?! I'm happy ~"
Did this resolve it? I think so ...
"You are attractive Mei-chan. By the way, Ayanokoji-kun, please grant your favorite Mei-chan's wish."
I'm scared. She's giving off an aura that I can't imagine from usual, so please return to the usual Hiyori.
"I don't really like it, but Mei-chan is an important friend. Let's help as much as possible."
"Thank you Ayanokoji-kun. Actually ... I want to have a double date!"
......Hmm? Double date? Was that at Christmas time? Will you do that again? I mean, who are going on a date?
Hiyori continued to clear my doubts.
"Next Sunday. Hirata-kun and Mi-chan, I and Ayanokoji-kun will go on a double date.
Well, I said that I would cooperate as much as possible so I decided to help.
"Okay. Let's participate. Also, it was Mei-chan who proposed this scheme , and is it suitable for the recognition that it is a double date aimed at getting along with Yosuke?"
Mei-chan looks a little embarrassed
"Yeah. I thought about this scheme because I wanted to shorten the distance with Hirata-kun."
"Okay, one last thing. What is the reason for me and Hiyori to participate? I think it's better to be alone if you want to shorten the distance ..."
To be honest, this is the number one question. Isn't it just an obstacle for me and Hiyori to participate?
"Of course I wanted to do it alone, but ... the hurdles are still high. I feel like I can't do anything because of the tension ..."
So that's it. In other words, if you are alone, you will not be able to talk anything because of tension, so you invited us as an mediator.
"That's why I'll cooperate. Ayanokoji-kun. Lets meet in front of the dormitory at 10 o'clock."
"I understand"
Then I talked lightly with Hiyori ,Mei-chan and then left.
--------------------------------------
➖ Double date day ➖
And it was Sunday.
The weather is nice and the date is perfect ...?
I wore my plain clothes and arrived in front of the dormitory 15 minutes before the meeting. After a while there
"Good morning, Kiyotaka-kun. You came early."
It was Yosuke Hirata of the same class who was one of the top handsome guys in the year .
"Oh, good morning Yosuke. Well, I can't let the girls wait."
"Ah, that's right. It's a special date."
"Good morning. Ayakoji-kun, Hirata-kun"
"Good morning Hirata-kun, Ayakoji-kun"
I was fascinated by the two who appeared in plain clothes.
"Good morning. Mei-chan, Shiina-san.
The clothes look great. "
"Ehehe. Thank you Hirata-kun"
"Thank you. How about Ayanokoji-kun?"
Hiyori is in plain clothes and I was honestly thrilled because I usually look at her in her uniform.
"Oh, I think it suits you very well."
"... That's right. It makes me happy when Ayanokoji-kun complements me."
Hiyori who answered while squirming and was cute.
"It's a little earlier than the meeting time, but it seems that everyone is ready, so let's go immediately."
"That's right. I'm thinking of going to Keyaki Mall and watching a movie for the time being."
Nobody objected, so we decided to go to the cinema.
The road walking to Keyaki Mall.
The situation is that Yosuke and Mei-chan are walking in front of me, and I and Hiyori are following them.
Then Hiyori ...
"Ayanokoji-kun. Look ahead."
"... It's strategy going well ..."
As Hiyori told me, when I looked in front of me, I saw Yosuke and Mei-chan holding hands and talking happily.
"That ... Ayanokoji-kun"
There was Hiyori who turned down a little and her face is red. Does she have fever?
"What's wrong? Hiyori"
"Can we hold hands too?"
An unexpected word came, I thought a little ...
"Is it okay? Weird rumors may spread."
I don't mind being rumored, but I can't bother Hiyori. I'm sorry to Hiyori if there are rumors that I'm dating a gloomy guy like me.... [inspired by many reaction fanfic]
"It's okay. Rather, even if rumors flow with Ayanokoji-kun ..."
"I'm sorry Hiyori. I didn't hear what you said right now, but can I ask you again?"
"No,it's nothing. Don't worry."
While saying that, I turned to the front, I saw Mei-chan. She was grinning for some reason, but is she happy to be able to hold hands with Yosuke?
➖ Zelkova Mall Movie Theater ➖
At the cinema, we were talking about what movie to watch.
"Which movies would everyone like to watch? Which suits everyone."
Hirata asked
"I don't care, so you can choose it."
"That's right ... Mei-chan, how about this?"
The movie that Hiyori pointed to was a so-called horror movie.
Then Hiyori and Mei-chan went to the bathroom, so when I and Hirata were waiting for them, I heard a voice from a distance, so I turned around.
"Hey Ayanokoji-kun"
"Hello. Ayanokoji-kun, Hirata-kun"
It was Kikyo Kushida and Honami Ichinose who called out to me.
Hirata greeted them.
"Hello. Ichinose-san ,Kushida-san"
"Oh. What are you both doing here?"
I asked them
"I promised to watch a movie with Kikyo-chan today. Are you going to the movie alone?"
"No, there are Hiyori and Mei-chan are coming with us."
"Eh? With Shiina-san? Hmm ... is that so."
Why did the suspicious eye say something strange?
Kushida asked
"Is it a double date?"
"Da, double date !! ??"
Ichinose suddenly shouted, so people around me looked at me all at once, so it's not surprising Ichinose. Well, to be exact, it's not a double date because Hiyori and me are just for support . When I think about that ...
"Aha. It's not a double date, though."
Hirata with the cover.
"That's right. Then we'll go ahead. It would be interesting if we were watching the same movie."
No, it's not interesting at all.
Then the two of us were waiting for Hiyori and Mei-chan to return while seeing off Ichinose and Kushida.
➖ In front of the women's toilet ➖
Mei-chan perspective
It's been a long time since Hiyori entered the bathroom, but I wonder if something happened?
➖ 10 minutes later ➖
"I'm sorry to have keep you waiting Mei-chan . It seems that it was a little crowded ..."
I'm glad that nothing happened to her~
"Yeah. It's okay. I think Hirata-kun and others are waiting, so let's go."
Then we saw two people waking toward us.
"Oh, hello Shiina. It's a coincidence in a place like this, are you guys here for the movie too?"
It was Arisu Sakayanagi, the leader of the A class, and Masumi Kamuro, who would be an attendant.
"Hello Sakayanagi-san, Kamuro-san. As Sakayanagi-san said, we also came to see the movie."
"Are you two? If so, why don't we watch it together?"
Kamuro-san asks such a thing ...
Maybe even taking care of Sakayanagi-san will push her ... The more people there are, the less burden she have, and anyway, today ...
"I'm happy with this proposal, but I'm sorry this time because there are Ayanokoji-kun and Hirata-kun in addition to us."
"Hmm? Did you say Ayanokoji-kun now?"
Did that change the air around Sakayanagi-san?
"Yes. We are sorry that I and Mei-chan are with Hirata-kun and "Ayanokoji-kun!" I'm sorry, but I refuse this time."
Hiyori-chan, explicitly emphasized Ayanokoji-kun's part ...
"That's a shame. Masumi-san."
"What?"
"Please go so that " Ayanokoji "can have a" date "with me next Sunday."
I wonder if Kamuro-san is held by Sakayanagi-san even if she has some weakness.
"Wait a minute. I have a promise to" date "with him next Sunday."
It's amazing Hiyori-chan can say such a bold thing ... Anyway, the promise is an absolute lie, isn't it?.
Sakayanagi: "I see. Shiina-san is still working with Ayanokoji-kun, but will you be with him again next week? He's very greedy, isn't he?"
"I don't have any reason to say this to Sakayanagi-san. Anyway, I don't hesitate anymore."
eh? Somehow, only the space around them gives off a tremendous aura ...
"Huh ... Please look forward to it. I'll definitely crush you. Let's go, Masumi-san."
"Yes, I hope it's not the same movie. It's going to be annoying."
I agree with that, isn't it too crackling? Hiyori and Sakayanagi. It makes me embarrassed to see both of them too overtly ~ Anyway
"Hiyori-chan is amazing. I couldn't beat Sakayanagi-san."
"Yes. I can't lose to Sakayanagi-san. Of course, in class confrontation or in love ..."
"Honestly, I'm glad It wasn't Hirata-kun. I don't think I can beat Sakayanagi-san."
"That's not the case. There must be some good points about Mei-chan. And Hirata-kun knows that too. Please be more confident!"
"Thank you Hiyori-chan. Even if the other party is Sakayanagi, I'm on Hiyori-chan's side!"
"Thank you, but I think that Sakayanagi-san is probably not the only opponent ."
"What? What does that mean?"
Do you mean there are other than Sakayanagi? Ah, but since there are Sakura and Sato in my class.
" Ichinose-san and Karuizawa-san in my opinion. Maybe Kushida-san and Horikita-san half-confident."
I was surprised at the unexpected answer in a loud voice. Embarrassing ...
"Eh !? Ichinose-san? Karuizawa-san !? Then, Sakura-san and Sato-san are after Ayanokoji-kun ..."
"Yes, that means there are many enemies."
"I thought Ayanokoji-kun was a good person, but to think that he is so popular ..."
"Mei-chan is not another person, isn't she? Hirata-kun is also quite popular."
Certainly ... there are so many girls who like Hirata-kun, so I can't lose to anyone!
"That's right. Let's do our best so that we can be number one with each other Hiyori-chan!"
"Yes, I have no intention of losing."
In this way, we decided on each other and headed for our loved ones.
