Right. With that said, I have to get my proposal accepted at least two times no matter what happens. So, this isn’t the time to be doing anything unnecessary like observing and guessing what’s going on between Hinami and Mizusawa.
After leaving Beams, we walked around while thinking about where to go next. Looking forward, Izumi, Hinami, and Mizusawa were lined up from left to right in that order with Izumi trailing slightly behind them. Mizusawa and Hinami were having fun chatting as always. Izumi joins them occasionally── sometimes glancing towards me like she’s minding something.
Huh? Wait, could this be… Am I being given consideration?
Ah, this is bad. Being lost in my own thoughts is fine and all, but worrying other people and being bothersome isn’t good, right? I hadn’t bothered anyone up until now. So it wasn’t a problem even if I didn’t get involved with other people. That’s why, when faced with this situation, I’m feeling something like a sense of responsibility…… Is this the 『responsibility』 that Hinami told me about? It’s true that this is a sensation that you’d never be able to taste when you’re alone……!
With that, I have to do my best so they’re not too mindful of me. I moved forward to line up next to Izumi.
「……Man, this is pretty hard huh?」
「Seriously! Have you decided Tomozaki?」
While I did my best keeping a composed expression when talking with Izumi, she cheerfully replied. Oh, right. I now have to get something too, huh? There’s a lot I need to do regarding the gift and assignment.
「Nah not yet……. You？」
「Noo. I tried asking Hiro earlier, but…… Ah, I meant Mizusawa ok?」
「Ah, right.」
She seemed worried that I wouldn’t get that Hiro was Mizusawa. I already knew though. How thoughtful of her!
「He told me to get that ointment since Shuuji’s been bothered by pimples recently. He’s absolutely going to be pissed if he gets handed something like thaaat!」
「Hahahaha.」I got a laugh mainly out of him being concerned about pimples.「But something like that might pass? It kind of seems like something he’s always wanted.」
「Yeah. That might be so, but…… we don’t know if there’s anything that he would want, right? Do you know any… I suppose not.」
「Hey, don’t give up before asking.」
I’ve become a lot better at retorting disses about me not having friends since Hinami has dissed me so many times.
「Ahaha! But you don’t know, right?」
「Naah……」
I took occasional glances toward Hinami and Mizusawa while I was thinking. They seemed to be having fun as usual.
「The things that I know about him are… that he likes AtaFami, that he’s strong, that he’s an ikemen, that he has a riajuu hairstyle……」
「Hm? That’s……」Izumi thought of something.
「Eh, what’s wrong? Riajuu hairstyle…… Ah!」
I also just realized. Speaking of riajuus and hairstyles. That’s right, that might work.
Izumi and I faced each other and spoke at the same time.
「Hair wax!」
「The thing that makes your bangs stand up!」
「──Eh？」
Izumi looked back waiting for me to repeat what I just said. I replied,「n-nothing」in a fluster.
「What did you just say Tomozaki?」
I don’t really get it, but what I do know is that if I say it directly, she’ll think I’m weird. D-don’t look.
「It’s nothing……」
「You called it the thing that makes your bangs stand up, right?」
So, you really did hear that? Izumi was heartily laughing.
「No, well, don’t Riajuu have the image of holding their hair up with a pin or whatever……?」
「Shuuji… has short hair, y’know?」
「That’s true.」
I saw a beautiful rebuttal here.
Still, with being able to say things in unison, I might’ve improved my conversation skills somewhat.
「……Ahahaha! But wouldn’t hair wax be ok!?」
「I-it’s okay, I think!」
If I had to choose between good or bad, I’d probably say good. If I had to choose between good, bad, or I don’t know, I’d say I don’t know.
「Hey Hiro! How about hair wax?」
「Hey! That sounds pretty good! That guy collects all sorts!」
「Ah……but what if I get him something that he already has?」
「Nah, I probably know what kind of wax he doesn’t have yet.」
「Eh, really!? That’s Hiro for you!」
「Well, I was the one that taught him about hair wax after all. 」
「I-Is that so!? Oh, right, you want to become a hairdresser!」
「Yeah. There’s probably a slightly more expensive series of hair wax that I don’t expect him to own yet. He’s the kind who buys a bunch of cheap ones to try them out.」
「Eeeh! He’s unexpectedly cheap! Even though he has a big attitude!」
「That’s wrong, Yuzu. Expensive doesn’t mean good when it comes to wax. Compatibility is more important. Just like girlfriends.」
「Eww! Of course a playboy like you would say something like that!」
「This might be surprising, but nah, I’m not a playboy!」
「Surprising!?」
「Though, I do have a playboy’s hairstyle.」
「So you’re aware of it!?」
「I suppose. At the hair salon, I get asked about how I’d like my hair, and I tell them please turn me into a playboy.」
「Ahaha! That’s definitely a lie!」
「I’m serious, I’m serious!」
The two of them laughed heartily. As I was watching their exchange, I pondered.
Why did I think that I had improved my conversation skills? No, it was all thanks to Izumi’s amazing ability to turn my awkward phrasings into actual conversations. I’m still like a child when it comes to this.
