While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School's Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me-Chapter 3Volume 1 .4 - Me, the Angel, and the Clumsy Beauty

Me, the Angel, and the Clumsy Beauty

“I’m sorry too for frightening Otsuki-san. I’ve made sure to speak to Reo about it.”

“I’m sorry to say, but I still hate that guy.”

Asahina-san snorted and shook her head. It seemed like they just weren’t compatible.

Convincing Asahina-san of Reo’s good qualities might be an impossible task. Let’s put Reo aside for now.

There’s something I wanted to ask.

“How has Otsuki-san been since then?”

“How? She’s as cute as ever.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“I know… Well, she’s quite strong mentally. She wouldn’t avoid you over something like that, Kogure-kun.”

Honestly, I don’t care much about myself. I want to ask what she thought of Reo, but it’s hard.

Anyway, I should probably be grateful that I haven’t been banned from approaching Otsuki-san.

“But I haven’t given up on setting up a date.”

“Again, date? I don’t have the courage to ask her out like that.”

She hadn’t given up yet.

I was only getting close to Otsuki-san for Reo’s sake, not because I wanted to date her.

Regardless of whether there’s any affection, asking a girl out is just too much for me.

“I understand. I think I was too forceful earlier, and I wasn’t calm either.”

“So?”

“Let’s go together, the three of us. I’ll invite Shizuku, and then Kogure-kun can join us. You can come without feeling awkward that way.”

She made a hard-to-refuse suggestion.

This way, I could avoid the most daunting task of asking a girl out. But why is Asahina-san so insistent?

Well… it’s a good opportunity to get closer to Otsuki-san for me.

“And where do you plan to go on this ‘date’? It’s the three of us, right?”

“Yes, this.”

“Tickets to Amazing Land, an amusement park?”

Asahina-san pulled out a ticket envelope from her school bag.

Amazing Land is the largest amusement park in the area, located outside the city. I had been there once with friends when I was little, but not since.

“Deepening your bond with Shizuku through fun at the amusement park. Isn’t that a good idea?”

“Umm, ah!”

I took a closer look at the tickets Asahina-san was offering.

“There’s a Magical Girl Cure Cure stage show, isn’t there?”

“Kogure-kun. I don’t mind your otaku hobbies, but thinking about going there during a date is questionable.”

“No, that’s not it.”

Asahina-san looked at me with utter disbelief. How rude.

“My little sister likes Cure Cure. I tried to take her to the Cure Cure Show before, but she got sick and we couldn’t go… Huh? Asahina-san?”

“…hey, Kogure-kun.”

A rumbling sound and a strange aura began to emanate from Asahina-san.

“…do you have a little sister?”

“Yes, she just turned five.”

“Show me.”

Perhaps she couldn’t believe it.

Without much concern, I displayed the multitude of Hiyori’s photos on my smartphone.

Yeah, she’s definitely cute. I can’t wait to get back home and play with Hiyori.

“Wow! She’s so cute.”

“Yes, she is. She’s like an angel.”

“I’m so jealous… I always wanted a little sister.”

“A younger sister with such an age gap is seriously adorable.”

When I was ten and my parents told me I was going to have a sister, I thought it was too late for such things, but now that she’s here, she’s just so precious.

Maybe it’s better to have a bigger age gap than to be close in years.

“That’s it! Kogure-kun, bring your sister along.”

“What?”

“The four of us will go to the amusement park. And I’ll take your sister off your hands when the time is right, so you can get to know Shizuku better.”

“Please don’t kidnap my sister.”

“I won’t! I’ll just take her to the Cure Cure Show. It starts just after lunch.”

“Hmm.”

Fortunately, this ticket allows four people to enter for free, so her suggestion is very welcome.

I haven’t been able to give Hiyori much attention lately… She would definitely want to see the Cure Cure Show.

Being alone with Otsuki-san might be a bit awkward, but well, I’ll manage somehow.

“Alright. Next Saturday is too soon, so how about the Saturday after that?”

“Okay, let’s do that.”

I feel like we’re building a better relationship than I thought.

Somewhere along the way… I have to confess that I don’t like Otsuki-san that way.

Will I survive that conversation?

“Ah… Hiyori-chan, huh? She’s so cute.”

For now, all I could do was shrug my shoulders at the school’s most beautiful girl, who was clutching my smartphone with a smitten look on her face.

Well… things will work out somehow.

“Nii-Nii! I’m so excited for the Cure Cure Show!”

“I see. Make sure to properly thank the two Onee-sans who invited us, okay?”

Time flew by, and the day to go out with the four of us arrived.

Hiyori was overjoyed when I told her about Asahina-san’s invitation that night. I’ll have to thank Asahina-san later.

Holding Hiyori’s hand, we walked leisurely to the meeting place in front of the station.

Amazing Land is about a twenty-minute train ride away, and the transportation is convenient. I was worried about being the only guy with girls, so having my sister with me was a real lifesaver.

“I wonder if they’re already here.”

We arrived at the meeting square in front of the station. Even though it was only ten o’clock, there was already a decent crowd.

There was no sign of Asahina-san. Since we arrived fifteen minutes before the meeting time, maybe they haven’t arrived yet.

“Nii-Nii, you’re not with Reo today?”

“That’s right. It’s someone else today.”

“Nii-Nii’s friend?”

Can I really call them a friend? She’s of the opposite sex, and I don’t feel like our relationship is that deep.

We’ve exchanged contact information, but we haven’t really communicated much. Asahina-san said she’s not good with men, so I can’t force a friendship.

I’ll just vaguely gloss over it.

“Something like that.”

“Nii-Nii, you have friends other than Reo. That’s surprising.”

“Stop, that’s like a stab to the heart.”

I can’t make friends because I’m not very assertive… no, it’s all because Reo is always by my side.

That good-looking, sunny guy is stealing all my friend-making ability. Well, it’s fine.

It’s almost time for our appointment, but I can’t find them.

Otsuki-san is one thing, but Asahina-san should stand out with her looks.
