Hiyori Shiina is reading a book today. She is a book lover, which is very important when talking about her. In particular, she seems to like mysteries among other genres of books, and if she were to talk about mystery novels, there would be no one in this school who could stand next to her. That's how much she likes to read.
Until she entered this school, there was nothing more important to her than books, nothing she liked more. But after she met a certain person, she came to love something more than books. It was a new feeling for her, and at first she didn't even realize what it was. Gradually, as time goes by, she begins to wonder if the name of this emotion is that emotion.
That emotion is ......... "love". Yes, for the first time in her life, she has fallen in love. It's not the kind of fiery love described in the story, but it's definitely love. But after she realized that she was in love, she became conscious of it every time she saw him, and it became difficult to talk to him as before. That's just the way it is. It would be unreasonable to tell her not to be conscious.
And today, for the first time in her life, she is trying to work up the courage to ask him out on a date. I don't think the other person is aware of her feelings.
"I'm sorry for calling you."
"What can I do for you? If it's a book that I owe you, I'm sorry I'm late, but I'll have it back to you by tomorrow."
"No, that book is fine. I lent it to Ayanokoji-kun because I wanted you to read it."
"Well, that's good to know."
"And the reason why I called you today is ...... Do you have any plans on Sunday, Ayanokoji-kun?"
She know she's not getting to the point, but she can't help it now. She's more nervous than she has ever been in her life, and it's not wrong to say that she's nervous. She can't stop her limbs from shaking.
"I'm sure I don't have any plans on Sunday, but what do you want?"
"Well, it's more like .........."
She took a deep breath and said.
"Would you like to go out with me?"
It must have been the words of a lifetime for her. All she had to do was wait for his reply.
"It's okay, I don't have any plans."
When she heard his reply, she wanted to jump up and down with joy. But as expected, she couldn't let Ayanokoji-kun see such a childish appearance, so she suppressed her joy and pretended to be normal.
"Thank you very much!"
She seemed to be holding back, but she had the biggest smile on her face since she came to this school.
