I met her for the first time in a bookstore.

A small girl, about 150 cm tall. Wearing a blue and black uniform on the outside, a white shirt with a tie in the middle of the chest and a red plaid miniskirt. She has a sweet, beautiful face and thin, small lips. Big, dark green eyes. And the thing that catches the eye the most is probably his shoulder-length, striking orange hair. Because he was interested, he tried to get closer.

Taking a peek at the book she chose, it was detective fiction written by a famous Japanese pen name.

I leaned in a little to read the title. Just in time, she turned to face me.

Our faces were almost pressed together. Can smell the soft scent of shampoo floating in the air. Close to smooth, clear skin I could see long silky eyelashes. Even though it was so close that many things were blurry, I could clearly see that her eyes were wide.

When she regained her composure, she and I immediately stopped shouting and separated from each other.

“Sorry...sorry.....”

“No....it's okay.” He stammered, taking a deep breath. Her ears had turned red from the incident just now.

“Uh, can I please take a look at that book...?” I pointed at the literature in her hand. The boy looked down at the item in his hand before handing it to me.

“Do you like reading novels?” I collected my thoughts.

“I like it.”

After hearing the answer, she smiled.

“So which style do you like?”

“...The light novels. And the general way of life, maybe?”

“You're a real girl, is it good to read murder novels?” Her eyebrows furrowed together.

“What about being a woman? Reading these novels is not about sex at all. Moreover, this teacher's novels have quality. The composition of the content, the language is beautiful, and the characters also have a soft, deep perspective and have dimensions.” It seems like she is a fan following this author's work.

"Oh," he let out a slight acknowledgment to let him know that he was listening to her. After reading the synopsis on the back cover, I handed it back to her.

“When you go home, do you pass this way?” the boy asked brightly.

"Yes...." Then why would she ask me?

“Have you ever read any of this teacher's novels?”

"No, I've never read it."

“Wait here,” she ordered, taking the book to the counter. As for me, I could only stare in bewilderment. Even though she was a pretty girl with such a strange personality, I didn't approve of associating with her.

The guy who told me to wait, I didn't plan on doing it anyway.

But I needed a book so I reluctantly wandered around the store. What I want is a light novel. It is a story that has been out of print for quite some time and is therefore exceptionally rare. Asked why I recently became interested in this light novel, probably because the new season of the anime didn't have anything interesting, so I went looking for old stories that I hadn't finished watching.

It's a story about a high school student who clings to a gray world. Do not get involved in matters that waste energy for no reason. Until a situation occurred that caused him to become a detective to help his classmates find the truth about 30 years ago.

As for the anime, I finished watching it last week. Even though the plot, perspective, and ideas come from the novel version, those who have read it light-heartedly A seasoned novelist like me knows that. There will be differences and most of the time, reading the novel version will make us understand the characters more. This is the reason why I searched for that book.

Finally, what I wanted was in front of me.

I sit cross-legged on the floor to reduce the pain in my lower muscles.

Flip it back and forth 2-3 times. Make sure it is free of scratches. There are no wrinkles at the corners of the book. And I'm sure I won't choose the wrong book. On the cover is a young girl with long black hair and large reddish-purple eyes. A clean white sailor uniform with sleeves holding a club notebook with one hand. Okay, I guarantee this book is flawless.

“Hmm, do you like stories like this?” Turning around, the voice called out. That child was staring at me from behind.

"It's none of your business," she said angrily.

“This story is also an anime, right? Even though I haven't seen it often, I really like the character designs." She laughed while sitting beside me, hugging her knees.

“And this is next Friday night.” He finished and stuffed a small plastic bag into my hand. From the touch, it was a solid, rectangular shape. You didn't have to guess to know immediately that the item inside was a book.

“Why?” I didn't understand her actions.

"If you've never read it, try reading it."

“When did you and I know each other to tell us this story?”

“We knew each other 7 minutes ago. Besides, this teacher's novel is really fun.” Aside from the excited tone, the emerald green eyes also glowed with anticipation to the point that I couldn't choose to refuse.

“How do you call it knowing? I don't even know your name.” The boy put his index finger to his lips as if thinking.

“I really forgot to tell you.” Then he laughed softly, as if embarrassed.

"Minaho Kasumi"

It is polite to introduce yourself when someone tells you their name. Even if you are unwilling

“Matataki Hayato.”

“Oh,” she responded brightly. Minaho then stood up.

“Go, see you next Friday.” I was about to call her to turn around, but the little figure running in front of me didn't even care about my call.

He could only scratch his head in confusion. Look at the plastic bag in your hand. In conclusion, I really deserve to read this.....

This book does a good job of organizing the events just as the child told them. The story ties in with keys to solving mysteries scattered throughout every chapter. The descriptive language uses normal vocabulary but is easy to read. When talking about painful moments, there is still emotion with the characters. Sometimes there are strange words during the protagonist's conversations.

I thought it was strange and inappropriate to use such a word, but I didn't pay any attention to it. Who would have thought that homonyms would be used to leave a mystery?

After reading the steps to solve the case, I had no idea that Physics, which I had studied since middle school, could kill people. Just calculate the direction, centrifugal force, location of action. Waiting for the right time You've become a murderer.

I closed my brand new novel. Try to cause as little shock as possible because I am not the owner of this book. When a friend borrows a novel and returns it ruined, there is no one who isn't upset. Maybe you are familiar with the phrase “My Love” in the classic movie where a strange creature chases a ring to the ends of the universe.

Therefore, whenever someone else lends you a novel, treat it like your own. He may hate you. Staring at you, waiting for the time to take revenge and saying “You hurt my beloved.”

It's a new Friday. When he had an appointment when school was over, he went straight to the bookstore. Looking at the list of new items, when there isn't something you want, you stop walking in front of the store. Pick up that detective novel again.

I read this novel for the 4th time. Gather details to understand the characters. Analyze events according to the protagonist..no matter how many times you read it. How much do you flip and read the story? I feel like I want to know more. I want to understand more. I want to read more. Overall, it's a story that I really couldn't put down.

“Hey, do you like it?” someone's voice greeted me, causing me to startle who was reading the back cover of the book. This time Minaho pulled her shoulder length orange hair into a short ponytail.

“That was fun.” I handed the novel back to its owner. After looking at the spine and examining the cover a little. She put it in her school bag.

“Here, give me a new one,” she said, handing over another book. This time it's not a detective novel, it's a light novel. A new novel that I haven't bought yet.

“I'm so considerate. Have you read it yet?” Its condition looked like it had never been used at all.

"I've read it, or I wouldn't have put the cover on." It looked new probably because Minaho had a clear cover on it. Flip the book around to inspect it a bit. Then I realized that there was something I wanted for her.

“Actually, I...” I searched for what I needed in the blue shoulder bag. When it felt familiar, I took it out and gave it to the boy.

“What you saw this Friday,” she took it. Before she opened it to see what was inside, I reached out my hand to stop her.

“I think you'll like it. It's....."Trying to think of a reason why it's worth reading.

“The story is neat and logical. The language is easy to read and understand. The subtitles sound good..." A clear voice interrupted me before I could finish speaking.

"Okay, then go home and I'll read it," Minaho smiled. Put the book in your bag

“Matataki-kun, do you normally take the subway?”

"You can go back." Even though most people would rather take the bus back.

“There is a dessert shop near the BTS station. Promotion: go as a pair and get a 20% discount.” I can already guess what Minaho wants to convey.

“You invited a guy you've known less than 10 times to go together one-on-one?”

“Tengawara is a private school, so I ended up late because I was afraid of waiting for you. Otherwise, I would have eaten cake with my friends.” In conclusion, I was the reason that she didn't get to eat cake with her friends.

“This shop is Milk Tea(

milk tea)

It's delicious." She continued to persuade.

“Is it appropriate? Take a guy you're not close to as a friend."

“And do you think any man would dare to do anything to me?” Just because of her personality, she doesn't dare mess with her. Even if I give you the full opportunity, I believe no one will want this girl as a girlfriend.

The end result was that I was standing in front of a modern store near the skytrain.

The sign above has the shop's name written in a bright round font. Decorated in pastel tones. The clear glass allows you to see inside the store. Most of the tables, chairs, and employee uniforms are white and look clean. Inserted with the green color of the leaves, I think it's a fern...and probably a fake.

The girl next door opened the door and slammed the bell, making a clear sound. The staff greeted us with friendliness. A young woman in a long maid robe, looking the oldest, walked us to our table. He politely handed us the menu.

"Matataki-kun, do you want to eat anything?" Minaho asked me.

“No, I don't like sweets.” She raised her index finger to her lips, pretending to think again. Round emerald eyes were devoid of life, as if they were not the person I was talking to just now.

“Milk Tea 2 and scones.” After she finished analyzing, she handed the menu back to the employee. The young woman wrote down her report on paper. Repeatedly saying that the only report she had sent was this, enough to give her instructions and humbly walk out.

“Will you drink two cups of tea?”

“Are you stupid? I ordered it for you.” In addition to the answer, he was scolded for coming back again.

“I don't like sweets.”

“Once you eat it once, you'll be hooked,” she said. She picked up a lined notebook and a small box of school supplies. Use a pencil to continue writing something on the blank line below.

Surrounding noise both from the BTS station The people in the store couldn't break Minaho's concentration in the slightest. She continued to write something in the notebook, a slight smile appearing on her face as she stopped moving her pencil to read over some things in the notebook. I turned away, refusing to look at the boy again. Why do I keep staring at her....

I admit that I was attracted to her from her appearance. Even though the face looks a little pale and lifeless, it looks more cute and appropriate than those who put on makeup to study. The hair is not well styled, just tied loosely and convenient for activities. But after talking I became more and more interested in her, I don't know why.

"Don't go to sleep yet." A gentle touch shook my body back and forth. Until it made me glance at what had happened.

"Let's drink tea." His orange ponytail waved violently. She raised a beautifully patterned glass to her lips. Girls, no matter what their personality, like sweets.

I don't like to drink tea, so I don't know the standard taste of what each type should taste like. As for this cup of Milk Tea, just pick it up and the delicious aroma wafts up to your nose. The more you inhale, the more it seems to invite you to taste the sweet brown drink. The first sensation when the tea flows down your tongue and into your throat is a sweet and gentle taste. After a moment, the sweet taste lingered on the tip of the tongue and the senses.

“Delicious, right?” she said triumphantly. Which I admit defeat as it is a taste that I eat once and cannot forget.

“It tastes even better with scones.” She slathered jam on top of the eclair-like dessert. This time I accepted it with pleasure. Scones are a dessert that was invented to go with tea. The first bite felt hard and crunchy. The meat inside is quite crumbly and fluffy. Just sip some more tea. Sweet taste combined with oiliness Smells good. Add a sweet taste that lingers on the tip of the tongue.

“I don't like sweets at all.”

"busy"

My younger brothers Shun and Yuta are both in middle school. Once you know how to cook Therefore, coming home late is not much of a problem. Once in a while, I'm just hanging out and no one will say anything. I split the money with Minaho about the money for dessert just now. The price wasn't as high as expected, but it wouldn't be a good idea to let someone I just knew take care of.

After taking the train to 3 stations, a young girl said goodbye to me. Until we can talk again it will probably be next week...

Didn't get home yet to say “I'm back.” Opening the door, I saw the figures of two younger brothers standing there, smiling mischievously. I sensed a dangerous aura so I rushed up to my room, even though the eldest kid made a teasing noise saying that he was late because he had a boyfriend, right? I chose not to answer. Ignore the door and close the door immediately. There are no adults in this house to take care of us.3

The siblings became close like friends. Even though Shun and Yuta don't respect their eldest at all. Our mother died when I was in middle school from an illness. Father, it's been a while since he returned home because he was busy working in another city. I picked up the family photo on the table. Warm memories are flowing within my mind again. Mother is a person with a good mood.

Your smile shines like the sun. Beautiful like a heavenly lady Gentle like water drops Do you like to read books? Knows many stories

Just like that child

person with orange hair Emerald eyes are difficult to predict. I wrote some things in a book for her on a piece of paper. As he imagined that he had gotten the answer he wanted, he couldn't help but smile. But he had to stop suddenly when he thought about it.

I just feel interested in her....that's all, right?

Friday comes around again All week I thought about the child Minaho and the novel she gave me that I couldn't read. Normally I can read books no matter where I am. This time, she was already waiting for me. The first thing I noticed was that her hair was strange.

“Cut your hair?” She was startled slightly, holding on to the ends of her orange hair.

"Oh...but the shop cut it a little too short. It looks bad, doesn't it?" Her voice was still smooth as usual.

“It's cute, not bad.” She seemed to smile happily for a moment.

“Really? My friend said it doesn't look as good as the old style.” I agreed with her friend that shoulder-length hair looked better.

“When your hair is long, it's beautiful. But this style is cute.” Complimenting the girl directly caused her entire face to turn red.

"Uh...give it back," Minaho answered by handing over a thin book. After I finished receiving it, she almost immediately ran out. Wait, we didn't even talk this time. And the novel that I traded with her to read?

I sighed because I thought she wouldn't come running back. While putting away the novel that was returned, he suddenly realized that he had written a message. I just felt like my book was strange because of the transparent cover. I don't know where it came from. Minaho probably gave it to me when she borrowed it to read. Turning to the first page, my notebook paper was inserted on the spine of the cover.

The name line code was written on the piece of paper with a raccoon cartoon character from the superhero movie. She wrote down what I really wanted and confirmed that I had the chance to talk to her every day.

We still do the same thing, meeting every Friday to exchange books to read. Sometimes we go out to play together, sometimes we sit in the park. Aside from Friday, I still greet her on Line every day. The longest time we talked was around 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Exchange discussion topics Talk about various stories From being an unknown person, it turned into being intimate without realizing it.

Every day went on and when I had athletics competitions, she would often stand in the audience. After the competition she would come up to me and say with a smile, “Great job.”

Tengawara School's cultural event, she invited me to go see it. Minaho's room acted out a drama with a storyline from the first novel she let me read. Even though she didn't have an acting role because she was working behind the scenes, the dialogue, scene cutting, and story progression were perfectly cut and adapted. The writer of the script is probably none other than you.

The first time she invited me to watch a period movie. I don't know how you define it, but I think it's like dating. She got free movie tickets because her mother's novel was adapted into a movie. Special time, her mother was not available so she invited me instead. Even though I know I'm just a backup, I can't help but be happy. She still sees that I'm important.

Events occur every moment. It made the bond that I had begin to go beyond the word friends. Our original interest only deepened as we got to know each other. Just have to conceal it.

Time has come and gone for almost one year. I don't know if you remember that this coming Saturday we will know each other for 365 days. Decided to pick up the phone and send her a message.

“Are you free tomorrow?” At this time it was almost 10:00 p.m. I didn't expect her to answer right away.

I'm free. Where do you want me to go? She texted back with a sticker.

"Let's go see a movie" 2 months ago She said she wanted to watch a Western animated movie.

Come on, what's the matter? So what time should I go?? The reply made me smile.

“That's what you want to see. Let's meet around noon."

Okay, see you >< She sent another message with an emoji. I sighed in relief and turned to smile at the family picture.

Well!

The next day I will confess my feelings. Mom, please help me!

- -Free gifts- -

The animated film's ending is as touching and heartfelt as the previous one. This musical cartoon doesn't focus on the love of the princess and prince anymore, right?

“I really want a robot like Balloon. It would be fun to watch.” The girl in front had not changed in height from last year even though she was entering her second year of high school. Today, she's dressed normally, not luxuriously, a cute round-neck shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Her hair that used to be so short that she couldn't hold it back is now loosely braided on either side of her head, making her look about 2-3 years younger.

"This is Minaho...." I decided to confess my feelings. So keep calm. Compose your words well.

“In this world, who is your hero?” connected to the story I saw just now.

“It must be Father. Even though he died when I was young, he stood on the side of justice. Believe in the thing called peace.” She closed her eyes as if remembering the past.

"So...." I started to run out of things to talk about. In my head, I tried to find the perfect words and links to the matter that I wanted to confess.

“A hero for me would be my mother. The person who has raised me since I was a child, every action, everything including your smile is always in my heart, never fading or disappearing.”

“I love you so much, Mom,” she smiled. I caught a response in my throat as the moment passed before I broke the silence with a sentence.

“What did you eat yesterday?” I began to follow a song I had heard.

"Eh, what is it..ummm, maybe soba..." She did her usual pose while thinking.

“What are you thinking?”

“I really want a younger brother like a hero.”

“Do you miss me at all?” Upon hearing the question, she immediately turned to stare at me.

“Do you mean what I think?” I had been with her for so long that I could already guess what she was thinking.

"That's right." Emerald eyes twinkled. There was no sound escaping from her, only a red face. Young girls usually keep up with my ideas and sometimes have a vision that goes beyond my imagination. But right now, she looked like a normal, innocent girl, reacting to helplessness. Looking at it like this, it's really cute.

“Do you miss me at all?” he asked again, leaning closer to his face.

“Wait, wait, I've never had a boyfriend. And I don't know what it's like to be in love." I laughed. This kind of strange behavior isn't strange when I'm 17 and still don't have a boyfriend.

“You don't have to know what love is like. Just knowing that being with me makes you happy is enough.”
