「Andoukun,
good morning」
「Aa, yes. Good morning……Asakurasan
」
「Andoukun,
what are you reading today?」

After that, I’ve seen the results of my effort, now I’m able to talk normally about light
novels with Andoukun.
「Hm? Ah, this is a new release from DDD Bunko*. You see, recently this work
ranked first in the newcomer category in 『Kono hen no Light Novel ga Sugoi!』*」
「Aa, that! I’m also curious about that book. How is it? Was it interesting?」
「Yes, this was quite enjoyable! I bought the first volume only yesterday, but it was
so interesting that I ended up reading up till to the latest published, third volume」
「Hee, so it’s like that eh. Then, I’ll also read that once I’m finished with the one I’m
reading right now. If Andoukun
said it was interesting, then it won’t turn out to be
bad after all」
「That’s right. I certainly recommend it. By the way, what are you reading now,
Asakurasan?
」
「These days I’ve been influenced into reading this book 『Class no Ijimerarekko
ga Tenseisuru to Taitei Cheat』*」
「Ahahaha! Asakurasan
really loves the OP MC genre, don’t you?」
「Is that…….bad?」
「Nah, not at all, I think it’s fine…….If I have to say, it’s rather cute」
「Cu……what are you saying!」
「Un, sorry……You–you’re right」
These days I’ve been able to talk with Andoukun,
however when I do, sometimes
my heart starts going 『doki!』. But, I don’t find it unpleasant……

In the beginning, I couldn’t even say hello to him.
However, when I remember it now, it’s my own fault that I wasn’t able to talk with
Andoukun
back then. I had created a wall on my own, putting on airs and was
bloated with useless pride.
But, if I truly wanted to talk with him, the most important thing was—–
I should’ve just been more daring.
「Andoukun,
If you like……today after school, do you want to……mmm, want to
go to the bookstore…..together with me?」
「…….! Wi–with pleasure!」
