「Asakurasan,
I was thinking of taking a look at the light novel corner first, if that’s
alright?」
「Ye, yes……I don’t mind」
「Then, the light novel corner is over there so let’s go!」
Why am I with Andoukun,
coming to this large bookstore after school together?
Maybe I’m dreaming again! No, even if this doesn’t feel real, this is reality……ah! Is
this what they call a 『Date』!? Kyaa! To be going on a date together with a boy I’m
not even going out with yet! No way no way, if I think too deeply about this my face
will turn all red and I won’t be able to properly look at Andoukun..
(Asakura)

Asakurasan
seems down. As expected, is she still mad because of the Ribbon
Gremlin Sketch incident? Well, I guess it can’t be helped……because after that, the
angry Asakurasan
hit me hard in the head with the portrait she drew of me as a
wastefully handsome guy while saying 『Andoukun
you idiot!』……Well, she
might not even want to be come to a bookstore with a loner like me. But this isn’t
something like 『Date』 really, just my way to apologize for the Gremlin incident—
(Andou)
Some time ago.

「I’m sorry Asakurasan!
」
「It’s okay……I’m the one at fault for hitting you with the portrait after all……and,
my face must have been similar to a Gremlin then too huh」
Certainly at that time, Asakurasan
was sort of resembling the Gremlin in
Majimon*……But if I leave this be, Asakurasan
mood won’t become any better,
And I just might have been killed by all the boys in the school. (Andou)

「Oh yeah! Asakurasan
is often reading light novels right?」
「……eh, you know about that?」
「Ah, yes. Sorry……to be honest, during the break, I often see you reading novel
on 『Narou』」
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
ーーーーーーーーーー
And, that’s how I invited Asakurasan
to the bookstore I frequent on my way home
but, was it a bad idea after all? (Andou)
「…………」
「…………」
Tha, that’s right. I remember now! I think, Andoukun
said 『Tell me which light
novel you like……, whatever title it is, I’ll buy one to bestow upon you』 or some
line that sounded like it came from Shenlong*, and either due to my joy in having
him talk to me or my embarrassment from having him know that I liked light novels,
I ended up giving a weird response in my excitement…… or really, when I realised
Andoukun
was aware that I liked light novels, inside my mind I spontaneously
shouted 『So he did notice that I was reading Narooooou!』 with all my might.

What? Doesn’t that mean, up until now not only was he was aware that I liked light
novels, he was completely disregarding the fact that this most beautiful girl in
school has similar hobby as him. What is with that! Jeez, that’s beyond cruel!
(Asakura)
However. Right now by pure circumstance I’m together with Asakurasan,
thus
even if she’s a disappointing beauty of a hundred faces she’s still the number one
beauty of the school so…… not a girl a loner at the bottom of the school hierarchy
like me can casually talk to right……Alright, I’ll immediately give her the light novel
present by tomorrow, then I’ll make sure to not come into contact with her ever
again! Otherwise my virgin loner self will end up having some strange
misunderstanding! (Andou)
「Asakurasan,
which light novel do you want?」
「Oh, oh right! I wonder which one I should get~」
Alright! If I get through this shopping, from tomorrow onwards I can go back to
being just an ordinary classmate! (Andou)
W, with this opportunity, it would be good if I’ll be able to talk more with Andoukun
from tomorrow onwards……ufufu (Asakura)
