(On the date, I was late for a meeting)

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's already 10 minutes past the meeting time ... Isn't Asakura-san got angry ... Oh, the day before I bought dating clothes and so on, so I had more time than I thought I was preparing! I should have heard Asakura's contact information in such a case! "

(Meeting with Mr. Asakura should be at the west exit of the nearest station, Mr. Asakura is ...

I was! )

"..............."

(Ando-kun, I wo n’t come ... hey, I ’m stupid! I ’m so excited about the date with Ando and arrived at the meeting place two hours ago ♪

Haha, did you arrive too early? I thought, but unexpectedly, it was fun to wait for Ando-kun. Each time a person comes out of the station, even though it's not yet a meeting time, "Ando-kun? ] While searching for crowds and waiting, I was grinning alone while imagining a date with Ando-kun. Ufufu, yeah, about 30 minutes before the meeting time, "It's no wonder that Ando-kun can come anytime! I thought that the meeting was at the West Exit, but I went to the East Exit just in case, just in case, and it was still fun considering Ando-kun's arrival. However, every time one minute passed after the meeting time, the idea of "Maybe Ando-kun might not come" crossed my head and became increasingly uneasy ...

I'm really stupid ♪ Maybe Ando-kun may not want to date me, but I just floated without thinking like that-)

"Sorry! Mr. Asakura! It's late! Well, wait ...?"

"Kyun Ando! I'm not waiting at all! I've just come!"

(Yeah, I was so happy ~ Asakura-san was a bit late too. Haha-I'm glad I didn't really have Asakura-san wait 10 minutes ....)

(Lie! Actually, I waited for Cho-Woo! When Ando-kun appeared, I thought I'd do one of the slaps, but ... When I saw Ando-kun's face, all of that blew off, When I noticed, I said, "I'm not waiting!"

"I'm really sorry. I'm confused to prepare some clothes ..."

"That's right! In fact, I've just arrived because I've been out of time if I chose clothes! Ando-kun doesn't have to apologize so much!"

(Lie! Actually, I chose clothes for one hour from the night before the day, so I had enough time in the morning! Yeah, I arrived about two hours before! Don't forgive me ---)

"Yeah ... I like Asakura-san's clothes today. It looks great. It looks like a heroine on a fantastic and jazzy label Ranobe."

(-It's not too much.)

"That's right? Thank you ... Ando-kun also has a very good sense. Well, it looks just like the protagonist who appears in a work-related paperback in the media."

"Ah, I'm glad I got Asakura-san's praise. In fact, my sister chose this for today."

"Eh, for today!"

(Ah, Ando-kun ... I bought clothes for today's date! In other words, be conscious of my date with me!)

(No, I'm glad I got my sister to choose clothes-

"Okay, older brother? No matter how much your brother likes black, if you make your whole body black, it's just Kuroko, right? If you use black for coordination, you should use white shirts and dark pants instead of black. Look, there's a good mannequin right there, so why buy that one? Hello! I'm ashamed and can't talk to the clerk! ? 』

--- At that time, my sister really helped me.)

"But Asakura-san, are you really waiting at all? When I found Asakura-san, I was looking down at something ...

(Mr. Asakura is a pretty precise person, so she has no image of being late for a meeting. Rather, Asakura seems to come a little earlier. ...... Asakura-san, and conversely about 10 minutes ago it would be ok to wait at the meeting place)

(Uh ... I'm sharp except for Ando-kun. I can't help it. I don't mean to blame Ando-kun, but I can talk a little bit true.)

"Ji, actually ... came a little earlier."

"Yeah! Wow, but I'm sorry to be late! I've been waiting since ...?"

"Um ... five minutes before the meeting"

(I guess I had to keep Asakura waiting for 15 minutes, including the late ones! What a great idiot!)

"Asakura, is there anything I can do as an apology for being late?"

"What can I do? Then ..."

(Actually, I waited for 2 hours and a little selfishness is good, right?)

"Oh, that ..."

"Yup?"

"Ando-kun! Wow, I want you to hold your hands ..."

"Hey !?"

"Oh, stupid! No! That doesn't mean! That meant that your hands got cold while waiting for Ando-kun! So, until my hands warmed up, Ando-kun had" responsibility " Warm my hands with Ando's hand!

"Eh, but Mr. Asakura. Now ... May, it's already June and it's so cold--"

"I'm cold! Let's get out of hand!"

"Yes, yes!"

(Oh, Ando's hand ...)

(Oh, Mr. Asakura's hand ...)

Tight

"…………" Throb

"…………" Throb

((warm……))

"…………" Throb

"……Hmm?"

(No, why Asakura-san's hands are so warm ……)

[Additional ss] "Trigger"

"Speaking of which, Ando-kun"

"What, Mr. Asakura?"

"Why did Ando-kun start reading Ranobe?"

"Is it a trigger ... Rather than a trigger, I know that the first Ranobe I bought is a Ranobe called" a certain Shakugan no Familiar with Haruhi. "

"I know of course! It was an anime, and it's not a work that is said to have caused Ranobe boom!"

"Oh yes, I actually saw the anime and I thought," Is it a manga? " "

"That's right. It was surprisingly surprised.

"Is that Asakura-san, what made you start reading Ranobe?"

"Well, me? Ah, Ando-kun ... I want to know the 'trigger' that made me like Ranobe?"

"Yeah, because Asakura is unlikely to see manga or animation in the first place, so I'm curious what triggered it."

"Happiness!"

(Ando-kun would be worried about me! Uh ... honestly, it's embarrassing to talk ... but But Ando-kun says, "I want to know every corner of me" Then there is no need to answer!)

"Well, the only thing I teach is ... Ando-kun, right?"

(Don't teach me because you like it? Don't get me wrong!)

(Yeah ... what do you mean?

"I only know Ando-kun who likes Ranobe, so I'll talk! Beside, don't misunderstand that you don't mean a special boy! ? 』

-Does that mean! )

"Yeah, okay! I won't tell anyone!"

"so……?"

(Well, after all, I don't think it's properly transmitted ...)

"But it's normal for me to like Ranobe. Ando-kun knows Ranobe as" The Journey of Hermes "?"

"Of course, it's a story that has continued for quite some time, and the main character Hermes is traveling in various countries on a tow truck of his buddy, right?"

"Yes, that's the first trip I read in Hermes Journey. When I was in my first year of junior high school, I found it in a school library and borrowed it to kill time. I knew that light novels existed and wanted to read more Ranobe. ''

"I see, it's a school library. Indeed," Hermès Journey "is not a moe illustration like Ranobe's cover, and there are many stories that make you think about the contents. Isn't that strange if you put it on, so Asakura-san then came to buy Ranobe? "

"Yeah, I was ashamed for a while, and for about a year I couldn't go to the bookstore even before the Ranobe corner."

"Well, then I couldn't read Ranobe for a year since I read Hermes ...? Because there's not much Ranobe in the school library, right?"

"Yes. I didn't have any other novels in my junior high school other than Hermes. But even if I couldn't buy them at a bookstore, I could read" Ranobe "!

"Eh, how?"

"Already ... Ando-kun has forgotten what kind of" Ranobe "I usually read? What is this smartphone?"

"Ah!" Kakuyom! "

"It's different!

――What… andu-kun, you must have made a mistake! ? What's this! This flow doesn't look like I'm saying "Kakuyomu" badly! ? Oh, no! Certainly what I usually see is "Naro" ... but that's why I think "Kakuyomu" is wonderful enough! "

"I see, that's how Asakura started using Narou."

"Yes, because at that time I was a junior high school student and I was a junior high school student, so I was ashamed of Roku and couldn't buy it. When I was searching for a way to read it, I came across “Naruro.” From that point on, I was desperate every day and read the “Naruro” ranking from the top ... It's so high, it's fun ... it's so interesting ... Every time I read it, I got hooked on Dondon and Ranobe.

Huff, so I guess the reason I got into Ranobe was "Naro" ♪ "

(And how did you meet Ando-kun?)

"Isn't it ..." Kakuyomu "?"

"Ando-kun !? So I guess it's cowardly!"
