Chapter 380: Short Story 5 : Mei-Yu Wang/Mii-chan SS – Reliable Classmates?
That feeling took priority even over the matter I had wanted to get his advice on. I feel bad for Ayanokouji-kun, who\'s wasting his time on me...
"Umm, you see...umm, it\'s about Hirata-kun".
I somehow desperately managed to squeeze my voice out. I continued before I end up choking my words back.
"I want you to tell me all about him...".
I think I explained that badly too but there\'s nothing I can do about it. Because I can\'t straight up tell him \'I\'m in love with Hirata-kun\' after all.
"Hirata and I aren\'t particularly close, you know?".
Even after seeing me panicking, Ayanokouji-kun\'s tone remained the same as always.
"But Hirata-kun told me Ayanokouji-kun is the most reliable one though?".
"...did he now?".
The impression I had of Ayanokouji-kun was that he\'s like \'air\'. Describing it as \'air\' may be somewhat rude but I\'ve got nothing else to go on. He\'s a boy whose thoughts I find hard to tell after all. Besides, he seems a little scary in a way different from that of Sudou-kun and the others. But---
"Yeah. He says you\'re the most level-headed one in class. He really sang your praises".
Hirata-kun, who cares more about his classmates than anyone else and who keeps an eye on his classmates more than anyone else, praised Ayanokouji-kun.
I\'ve never seen Hirata-kun talk about a friend that energetically before so that surprised me.
I still don\'t know the reason for that though but...
"Recently there\'s been talk that Hirata-kun and Karuizawa-san, umm...broke up, have you heard?".
"Of course".
It\'s not just Class C but the whole school year that\'s paying attention to this topic. The calamity that befell Hirata-kun and Karuizawa-san. It was unbelievable for me too.
But I can\'t take action on my own.
Because I can\'t possibly confess knowing full well I may be rejected.
"That\'s why, umm.....".
Let\'s get some advice. From Ayanokouji-kun, who Hirata-kun referred to as the most reliable one. I\'m a coward but...in order to be able to confess.
".....d-does Hirata-kun currently have someone he\'s interested in?".
Let\'s take the first step towards overcoming this cowardice. I definitely can\'t look in the mirror, knowing my face is probably turning red. That\'s what I thought.
