While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School's Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me-Chapter 7Volume 1 . - The Revival of Love Consultations

The Revival of Love Consultations

Asahina-san smiled with relief.

I think she could be more relaxed though. It’s not like she was trying hard because she wanted someone she likes to eat it.

“Here, Hirasawa-kun, you too.”

“Thanks! Itadakimasu~!”

“Didn’t you make anything else?”

“Uhh… this is the only thing that turned out decent.”

“Keep practicing and you’ll eventually improve.”

“Whoa! This is super delicious, cough-cough!”

“Ah, don’t eat so fast. Water, water!”

I handed water to Reo, who was clutching his throat, and Otsuki-san patted his back.

It’s nice. It’s nice to share a meal with friends made in the plaza like this. Reo, Asahina-san, and Otsuki-san, they’re all laughing happily.

It all started from one person’s crush… and it’s great to see the circle expanding.

“Eat a lot, Alisa and Kogure-kun. There’s plenty.”

“Sure, I’ll eat as much as I can!”

“Okay. Hmm, but this burdock tempura could have been a bit softer.”

“Kogure-kun doesn’t have to eat. Go starve.”

“You’re going to say that much?”

We continued to eat our bento in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, interspersed with jokes.

As lunchtime approached and more people arrived, we decided to leave early and begin our initial purpose.

“Huh? Alisa and Kogure-kun have gotten separated.”

“Oh, maybe because more visitors are coming in~”

“Hmm, should we look for them?”

“Um… Otsuki. If it’s okay with you, do you want to go on that attraction? It seems to be for two people Ryouma and Asahina can join us later.”

“Eh? Yeah, that’s fine.”

And so, Reo and Otsuki-san went ahead together.

“It was worth hiding.”

“Yes, let’s leave them alone from now on.”

As planned, we started the operation to leave Reo and Otsuki-san alone. We casually broke away from them as they moved forward and escaped into the grass.

From their position, the trees obstructed the view, so it was unlikely they’d be spotted even if they looked around. However, there was something on my mind.

“Asahina-san, do you think Otsuki-san is aware of Reo’s feelings?”

“I think she’s subconsciously aware, but she won’t admit it. She believes there’s no way she could be liked. She thinks it’s a misunderstanding.”

“Why do you think that is?”

“Shizuku doesn’t think she’s the type to be popular with guys. Her self-esteem is too low. It’s a shame because she’s such a cute and homey girl.”

“Has Otsuki-san actually ever been confessed to?”

“From what I’ve heard from her, I don’t think so. The guys who approach Shizuku are almost always after me.”

Otsuki-san said something like that, too. And I can understand how she feels. If your best friend is super popular, it’s hard to imagine someone choosing you over them.

I’ve been approached a few times myself, but it was almost always because they were after Reo. In Otsuki-san’s case, it wasn’t just Asahina-san but there was also a beautiful athletic girl like Mizuhara-san around her.

“That’s why I think Hirasawa-kun have good taste for noticing Shizuku…on the other hand, Kogure-kun was a big liar though.”

“Ahaha. But I really do think Otsuki-san is attractive. It wouldn’t be strange for anyone to fall for her.”

“…”

“Why do you make such a face?”

“No reasonー”

I feel like I’m being scolded for something else. Anyway, it seems that Otsuki-san probably won’t recognize that she’s liked unless Reo confesses properly.

“But it’s good that Otsuki-san seems to be aware of Reo’s romantic feelings. It would be almost criminal to be so oblivious to such advances.”

“………”

“Could you please stop making that ‘What are you talking about?’ face at me?”

“No reasonー”

Asahina-san has been cold to me since a while ago. Dealing with women is difficult.

“What kind of girl do you like, Kogure-kun?”

“Why do you ask that all of a sudden?”

“We’re having this conversation, so… just small talk.”

“Then what about you, Asahina-san? You should start. Everyone wants to know the type of guy that the most popular girl in school likes.”

Even though I’m the one who said it, it’s amazing that such a girl is sitting next to me. We’re alone together, talking this close.

There’s a tree at the back of the lawn that’s perfect for leaning against and avoiding the afternoon sun.

I feel like it would be nice to just relax here without going on any attractions. I lean against the tree.

“Do you want to know too, Kogure-kun?”

Asahina-san also leans against the tree, and our shoulders touch. It’s the only place to lean on, so it can’t be helped, but it’s a bit embarrassing.

So I decide to give the tree to Asahina-san and move away.

“Why are you moving away?”

“Well, we’re touching…”

“We can’t chat if you’re too far away.”

Does Asahina-san not mind being that close to me?

Maybe she’s cold. That’s what happens when you wear off-shoulder clothes.

Reluctantly, I lean back against the tree. Our shoulders press firmly against each other.

“Eek!”

“What was that sound?”

“I was just surprised when you suddenly came back… I’m fine.”

Asahina-san looks up at me with an upturned glance.

“Don’t move away again, okay?”

“!”

I didn’t expect an upward glance from such a cute girl to be this powerful. Unable to stand the silence, I continue the conversation from before.

“So, what kind of guy do you like?”

“…I think I’d like a homey kind of guy. After all, I’m really hopeless with household chores.”

“There’s Otsuki-san… of course that’s not what you mean.”

“We would have been dating a long time ago if Shizuku were a boy.”

“So, you mean someone who’s like Otsuki-san, always there for you and kind?”

“That’s right! Someone who’s really dependable, with warm hands, who helps me when I’m struggling… like a cute younger brother… but it’s different! I don’t mean it in that way.”

“There’s no one like that. You might be dreaming a bit too much.”

“Kogure-kun, can I hit you on the head?”

“Why!?”

I don’t understand. I really don’t get girls at all. I have no choice but to change the subject.

“Um, my type of girl is… why are you suddenly taking out your phone?”

“I thought I’d take some notes, just in case.”

“Oh, are you going to introduce me to a girl you know, ow ow ow!”

Why is she pinching my arm?

I don’t get it. It seems like Asahina-san is in a bad mood, so it’s probably better to get back to the main topic.
