嗨？

Isn't this too easy?

Have you had breakfast?

That's good. If he hasn't eaten yet, you could invite him into the store for some bread or a hot coffee.

Consider it a way of repaying kindness!

Ok.

He shouldn't refuse, right?

With her chin resting on her hands, Yukino Riho sighed softly, thinking that she would definitely have to ask him his name when he came into the store tomorrow.

Chapter 13. Very good-looking, but unfortunately, he's just a person.

Wednesday morning, the scene was the same as usual.

Yukino Riho got up half an hour earlier than usual, rode her newly bought women's bicycle to a nearby bread factory to buy a basket of bread, and returned to the store. She moved a stool to the store entrance and sat down, making sure she could see the road by the river completely.

The streets were still shrouded in darkness, with streetlights casting a warm, hazy glow, and white mist drifting between the buildings.

At 6:10, a somewhat familiar figure broke through the morning mist and emerged from the haze.

he came.

She has a slender figure, clear eyes, and her sexy lips are always slightly pursed.

Yukino Riho stood up and went to the shop door, intending to welcome him in.

result……

The boy ran right past her without even turning his head to look at her.

He'll come in on the way back... right?

Yukino Riho comforted herself with a word of encouragement: wait patiently.

Around seven o'clock, the boy turned back and passed by the store again.

Seeing his figure in the distance, Yukino Riho came to the shop again, her face plastered with a business-like smile.

The boy ran straight past her without stopping for a moment, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Yukino Riho remained stunned for a long time, then helplessly rubbed her temples.

I'll sit on the road tomorrow, and I don't believe he can't see it.

On Thursday morning, Yukino Riho moved a stool to the bank of the Sumida River early in the morning, and waited while reading a book.

At 6:10, the boy arrived as promised.

Yukino Riho noticed, but when she saw him, his expression clearly froze for a moment.

Now you'll have to say hello, won't you...? She thought to herself, a little resentfully.

result……

The boy ran past without looking back.

Ok.

He probably didn't say hello because he was afraid of disrupting the rhythm of his morning run; he'll definitely stop on the way back.

Yukino Riho comforted herself once again.

It was almost seven o'clock again when the boy returned from the direction of the Sky Tree. His footsteps could be heard from afar. Yukino Riho straightened her bangs and sat up straight, facing him.

When he saw her from afar, Fujiwara Izaya couldn't help but pause in surprise again.

What is this stupid woman doing?

Early in the morning, he sat by the roadside with a book in his hand, but he didn't even open the book, and his eyes weren't on the book at all. He had an absent-minded expression.

Was she fishing?

I didn't see a fishing rod either!

As he ran past her, Fujiwara Rinya gave her a serious look. He hadn't paid much attention to her in the past few days, but after looking closely, he realized that she was quite beautiful.

His eyes were as black as ink, clear and captivating.

She has long, soft, and light black hair with a hint of light brown; her figure is quite slender, with a neck and shoulders so thin that they seem like they could break at the slightest touch, yet she has an unusually full bust and long, graceful legs.

Her delicate and refined oval face gave him a feeling somewhat like that of the Snow Woman.

Especially her sickly pale skin, it probably feels as cold to the touch as a snow woman.

Although Fujiwara Izaya had little interest in human appearances, he had to admit that this woman possessed a natural, captivating charm, like some kind of bewitching monster.

Let's take a closer look.

get conclusion.

She's very good-looking, it's a pity she's just a human.

Fujiwara Izaya sighed and brushed past her.

"...You're leaving already?" Yukino Riho's eyes twitched slightly, her expression quite complicated.

Forget it.

Let's just pretend we've never met this person.

she thought.

He's good-looking, but unfortunately he's just a human.

A cool morning breeze swirled a few garbage bags through the streets. In the quiet moment before the city became noisy, Yukino Riho carried a small stool back to the shop. Her slender figure looked so small in the cold morning wind, adding a touch of desolation to the scene.

Friday, January 4th.

As usual, Fujiwara Izaya took the train from Asakusabashi Station to school.

Wearing headphones, she hummed along to the Spanish songs playing inside, occasionally swaying her body to the beat.

He has a natural talent for learning foreign languages. In his first year in Tokyo, he mastered German in his spare time and is currently learning Spanish. In his third year, he plans to learn Portuguese, which is in the same language family.

After graduating from university, I'll travel around the world first, and once I'm tired of it all, I'll go to Takamagahara without any worries.

The tram swayed and rocked, sunlight streaming through the glass windows and illuminating the carriage.

Three female students, squeezed together, kept glancing at Fujiwara Izaya from the side, staring at his slender fingers and his pert nose. One of them even had a smirk on her face.

Arrived at the station, got off the train.

The female student looked reluctant to part.

Fujiwara Izaya walked slowly, entering the school at exactly 8:20.

The cherry blossoms along the school path are blooming more and more beautifully, but the flowering season will end in about a week. To see the sea of cherry blossoms again, we will have to wait until next spring.

While changing his shoes at the shoe cabinet, Fujiwara Rinya heard a noise next door, like someone confessing their love. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, so he curiously leaned over to take a look.

"Yamamoto-senpai, what's this for...?"

"Koike-san, please go out with me!"

Oh.

She's Seiji Ikeda's childhood friend, her name is something like Masami Koike.

The guy who confessed to her was a tall, big boy wearing brand-new basketball shoes. He was alright looking; Fujiwara Izaya would give him a six out of ten.

Looking at the pink envelope, Masami Koike's eyes curved into crescent moons: "Yamamoto-senpai, is this really for me?"

"Of course!" The boy named Yamamoto looked up, his face flushed with excitement. "From the moment I saw Koike-san at the opening ceremony, I fell in love with you at first sight!"

"You're clearly lusting after her..." Fujiwara Izaya retorted as he dressed.

"Thank you, senpai is also the kind of athletic guy I like." Koike Masami nodded happily, taking the love letter. "I'll accept it for now. As for my reply, I'll have to see if the love letter is touching enough. But don't worry, senpai, I have a very good impression of you, so the chances are great."

Fujiwara Izaya looked away, put on his indoor shoes, closed the shoe cabinet door, and left.

He has never been very interested in other people's private affairs.

However, if Ikeda Seiji, the biggest financial backer, were to be cheated on, his income might plummet, so he had to treat the matter with utmost care.

When we arrived at the classroom, there were still ten minutes before class started at 8:30. The class monitor was collecting homework from all subjects.

"Hi, Fujiwara, good morning," Ikeda Seiji greeted warmly.

"……Good morning."

Looking at his beaming face, Fujiwara Izaya hesitated to speak.

Actually, all Koike-san did was accept a love letter from another boy, right? It's not a big deal, and she might not even agree to it.

And even if he agrees, it can't be considered cheating on Ikeda Seiji, since they are just childhood friends, not real lovers... right?

Fujiwara Izaya silently sat down, pondering whether or not to reveal what he had just witnessed.

Chapter 14. Two Pairs of Stockings

“Oh, right,” Ikeda Seiji turned around, his face beaming with gossip, “I have some good news to tell you.”

"what's up?"

Fujiwara Izaya looked at his head and felt that his hair color was a bit green.

“Last night, my old monk said he was planning to visit Akasaka Shrine to see if he could help me and Koike get together.”

"...Uh, congratulations."
