Even though it’s already summer, I haven’t made any progress with the girl at cram school.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAnvGSq9Zi
But I know her name now. It’s Yorino Aoi-chan.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3iY3y8Vdc
As per usual, I stole a look at the name written on her books.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz157NTwfM
Aoi-chan. What a fitting name.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpG2TwZZ3z
I kind of get the feeling that my stalker traits are getting stronger and stronger.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA3nVQX2Jg
I don’t think I can laugh at Kaburagi anymore…9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf6AggZXRH
8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡuql315gHyM 維尼
But a chance suddenly appeared.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzVu4TF9od 維尼
As usual, I was on stand-by next to Aoi-chan as I watched the situation.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cu4tmt9Oc
And while I was doing so, Aoi-chan suddenly dropped her pen!9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXgkxqEgGi
At the speed of light, I picked it up!8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrLiSzSHQD 維尼
“Ah-…”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtC0GWcXCE 維尼
Having lost her pen, Aoi-chan looked at me in a panic.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwNNVefzLQ
It’s my chance! My once-in-a-lifetime chance!8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iZ5OteId 維尼
“Umm…”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qx65SAmHl 維尼
“I-, I-, I am Kisshouin Reika! Gokigen’yoh!”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm7BcGd1Zb 維尼
Aoi-chan’s hand reached towards the pen I was grasping and hesitating in mid-air, but it was a precious hostage. I wouldn’t hand it back so easily.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPl7ysddOV 維尼
“Hmm…”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsCX1Co074 維尼
Aahh, she’s frightened of me.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1gfvDzvG
Why? Is it because my eyes are shining like a predators? It is because of my drill hair?9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQcxL5mNb
Nooooo, I’m not scary, you know!?9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE1ZfR8ini
An opening, look for an opening…8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡiURf4TkrGz 維尼
“I too like Tarow the Taro!”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2m4zldRdN 維尼
“Eh-”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82IbRkzoc 維尼
I decided on all or nothing.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCf1IHOfGI
To begin with, the reason I wanted to become friends with her is because I saw the unpopular yuru-chara on her bag.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16DYqfoZ1S 維尼
“Ever since I saw your, um, Tarow the Taro keychain, I have always wanted to speak to you.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZHipY8x50 維尼
Aahh, this kind of feels like a love confession.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq92PXy0ZEs
My hands are shaking from the nervousness. My heart is pounding away.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzmYxqbMdt 維尼
“So, um, could you perhaps be my friend?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQYdjCoqZR 維尼
“…”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3M022PueD 維尼
Uwahh, I’m about to cry from the nervousness.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNWGD5KhCr
Oniisama, I meant to earnestly get closer to her, but I ended up jumping the gap in one go!9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGu3LXCcph
What do I dooo? Saveeee meeeeeeeeee!8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHLAavsrGs 維尼
“…Um, my pen, please return it.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XSOev3KN8 維尼
“……………”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0VGitSP9p 維尼
Aahh, it’s over.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DNUYEurw5 維尼
Aoi-chan is frowning just like Tarow is.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jpPmSZkum
Of course she wouldn’t want to be friends with a girl like me.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfds6HJD61
Of course. A fake Rococo would be the type that Aoi-chan is worst with, after all.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPydYsjLs7i
I’m just a drill hair girl.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhBC9crg4r
I see, I see.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoeNvc56gN
I’m sorry. I won’t follow you around anymore. Drill hair girl will quietly leave…9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3dKyCih13
I held out the pen to Aoi-chan.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RrwodSvqI
Definitely, don’t cry.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jd27j8ICs 維尼
Oniisama, I’ve been rejected.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqYIV6uerI
OTL…8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEi12NMAvI 維尼
“…Please take care of me.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMqHy9x6VZ 維尼
After grasping the pen tightly, Aoi-chan had fallen into thought for a while, but then she raised her head to look at me before saying that.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bVsganQfh 維尼
Huh?8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRkV5D0Jh 維尼
“I’m, Yorino Aoi.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEvFIiE6Kn 維尼
I know. Because I’m a stalker in the making.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2qKJPKOwk 維尼
“Please be my friend.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NvbqTTJ7i 維尼
After saying that, Aoi-chan smiled.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKwyVz27Md 維尼
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!?8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGH7QEdK6A 維尼
“Really?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡepfTcYnEFY 維尼
“Mn.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNWFauLvS 維尼
Eh-, why!? Even though you were that scared of me, why!?8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZMNtSFWa1 維尼
“But, weren’t you avoiding me?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡBURMR7mnOa 維尼
When I said that, Aoi-chan looked a little awkward.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuWGsmNp1e
I asked something unnecessary.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1yo0NVM64 維尼
“Because, you said that you liked this,”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZjNo4rHhG 維尼
she said, pointing at her Tarow strap,8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcAIIjtE5J 維尼
“Nobody has said that they liked him before.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIRwlnU4M 維尼
“Same here!”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4dwu3BnMV 維尼
I’ve never actually asked around, but far from people telling me they like him, nobody has even mentioned him before. They probably don’t even know about him.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbsXOjFiFf 維尼
“I also want to talk to you about Tarow.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Gwy38n5u 維尼
“Mn!”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBTErZ1I3u 維尼
Did it! I did it!9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahxwgXXqQN
Oniisama! I tried my best!9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr47Fi3kg19
And it looks like Aoi-chan is willing to be my friend!8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEL7MSe4m9 維尼
Class began so we stopped talking for a while, but the moment that it ended, we started talking again.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zMTXrQdom 維尼
About how Aoi-chan’s grandpa lives in the countryside, in the area that Tarow the Taro came from.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdesS1SXn
About how she bought her keychain last year when she went over there to play.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntJ0xlxwWP
About how Tarow the Taro goods were only sold in his hometown.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB1XKwsZ8n 維尼
“I see~ I also searched the internet, but nobody was selling Tarow goods anywhere, and I was really wondering where on earth you got your keychain, you know? I even thought that you perhaps made it yourself.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHioTdrpRq 維尼
“Ahaha, he’s not very famous so I don’t think they’d sell him on the internet. There isn’t much variety in his goods, and I don’t think they sell very well.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbyYjp2hKq 維尼
“Truly?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJVI31r8MC 維尼
“Yeah. Where he comes from, they sell a Tarow pouch with a picture of him in it, and in shops they sometimes have cardboard printouts of him, but the time that I went there, nobody was buying Tarow goods except me.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiXNdqPFh5 維尼
“My~”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFW0AUO1KJ 維尼
So Tarow really is a pitiful kid…9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBlswmgkzV
So like me, Aoi-chan also became fans of him because she felt sorry for him.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Y0A3fmOa
Can Tarow not get any fans outside of sympathy votes?8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡotFP0FHbpM 維尼
“Looking carefully, he’s got quite an interesting face, huh~ At a glance he looks plain though~”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zZ3YDni7U 維尼
“Mn…”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8dAJ02sFf 維尼
He’s mostly a light brown, so he really is quite plain.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxkhQhC1Re 維尼
After that, we continued happily talking until second period began.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKJtiXOx6R
It was really fun.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyIitL22D
We promised to sit next to each other next week too. I’m so happy.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmdWCblKUS
8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj0BvLTm5G 維尼
When I got home, I immediately let Oniisama know.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUViWt2Rab 維尼
“I did it, Oniisama. I became friends with Aoi-chan!”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HpZ6SjUHA 維尼
“Aoi-chan? The girl that you said you wanted to become friends with, last time?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡATDxNQFqHr 維尼
“Yes. Today we had a good time chatting about Tarow.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwApuiImUR 維尼
“Aahh, the… weird little yuru-chara that you like…”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMnAaMz0Ms 維尼
The other day I showed Oniisama Tarow the Taro on the internet.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1vmP3tiSF
Oniisama wasn’t sure what to say about him that time as well.8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cwvFhxaUq 維尼
“Oniisama, you still haven’t understood Tarow’s charm yettt?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl6Xqb2ydt 維尼
“Looks like it. I don’t think it’ll ever happen.”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z57fTL5RE 維尼
“Ehhhhh?”8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyz8Jyb8cZ 維尼
Oniisama, why won’t you understand its cuteness.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezCWBUixk
But Oniisama gave me advice about Aoi-chan didn’t he.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOC18tLdTf
As thanks, should I try making him dinner again?9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik9HKwWzJb
Oniisama, look forward to it!8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3pIPB8G3l 維尼
Aahh, what a good day it’s been!8964 copyright protection5ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXqWHjEyWr 維尼
