READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 6 - (Extra) While My Childhood Friend's Away
[AKANE POV]
***
“Phew, somehow I managed to finish early.”
During lunch break, I finished my student council duties and hurried back to the classroom.
Why am I in such a rush?
It’s because I was called away in the middle of having lunch with my childhood friend, Sato Itsuki.
He doesn’t have any friends to eat lunch with, so he must be lonely all by himself right now!!
He might even be crying, saying “Akane~”!
“Sorry, I kept you waiting…”
“Heh! You have such a qualification, Sato?!”
“Yeah, besides being a chick appraiser, I also have certifications like advanced cat appraisal, kendama, portrait drawing, and advanced chocolate.”
“Really? That’s amazing…”
“Sato, by the way, how do you appraise chicks?”
“Hmm, this is a chick!”
“No, that’s random!?”
“Haha, Sato is so funny!”
What I saw when I returned to the classroom was Itsuki, surrounded by everyone and happily chatting.
Wait, what? What’s going on? Why did he get so friendly while I was gone?
“Ah, Akane, welcome back!”
Thanks to my friend Hana-chan noticing me and calling out to me, everyone in the class realized I was back.
“I-I’m back… umm, what are you all doing together?”
“Huh? Akane-chan went somewhere, so we were just hanging out with Sato in the meantime.”
What’s with this ‘Sato’?!
“Umm, Hina-chan? Aren’t you a little too close to Itsuki?”
“Heh? Is that so?”
No, you are close. Seriously, what’s going on with your personal space?
It’s strange, Hina-chan isn’t supposed to be a close-distance person to begin with…
“Well, since Akane’s back, let’s disperse.”
“Aww, I still want to talk to Sato a little more.”
“Come on, let’s go.”
Everyone dispersed, perhaps out of consideration for me.
“…Hey, you’re super popular, aren’t you!”
“Maybe it’s because I’m your childhood friend, so everyone came to talk to me.”
Itsuki said that while eating his nutritious meal.
Well, that might be true.
… Yeah, it must be!! There’s no doubt about it!!
… Probably.
