How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

"Is that all?

I put the onions I got from oranges in the shopping basket, and I asked.

It seems that oranges will make the curry today, and we were both here to buy it.

This supermarket, which we've been talking about since before, is our usual shopping spot.

"Ah, I forgot my potatoes."

"Hey, it's important."

Even Nanba would have forgotten.

"Well, that's right...."

You two move to the potato shelf and pick something that looks fresh with orange eyes.

Rather than knowing how to choose vegetables, I don't even have the chance to buy them myself in the first place.

You may be right to be quiet here.

"That's all right. Let's go to the accounting."

Yes, sir.

Self-registration quickly finishes the accounting and bags vegetables and lows.

Shopping for anything other than curry ingredients made two eco-backs necessary.

"I'll have both. They're going to make it."

"Thank you very much. Isn't it heavy?

"Yeah, I'm better than I thought."

Leave the supermarket and go to the apartment side by side.

The place for dinner today is my house.

Nevertheless, oranges have come to us almost every day lately.

"... ah, that's..."

Hmm?

When I followed the orange gaze, I saw a strange person walking there.

Who... is that?

"You're a girl in Nanba's class. I wonder if the house is around here."

"... uh, maybe there was. I feel like I wasn't there."

"I'm here. As usual...."

Even if you say that, there's nothing you can't remember.

I mean, I remember a handful of people in the same class.

In the end, the unknown classmate crossed the crosswalk with his quick feet without noticing anything in particular.

"Speaking of which, nobody knows yet. Except for Kyuya."

"If Samuel and the others hadn't talked about it, it would have been. I'm still not very involved in school."

"... I wonder when they'll find out."

"I'm not hiding it, so I'll find out soon. It's a coincidence like this."

"Something... don't be shy."

"I don't care whether I find out or not. It's just a little troublesome to be pryed into."

"I'm a little scared..."

As we entered the main road to the apartment, we walked in line again.

We'll be there in about five minutes.

"... Nanba, I have one of your luggage."

"Yeah, that's fine. It's not heavy."

"Not anymore."

In a slightly angry tone, Orange forcibly took an eco-back from my left hand.

The two of you hold the bags one by one, and my left hand and the right hand of orange are shaking boringly between the two.

When Tangerine looked at my face for a moment, she dyed her cheeks slightly and smiled.

At the next moment, my left hand was loosely gripped by the right hand of the orange.

"Nh....!

"Fufufu, now I can connect my hands."

"Oh, you... all of a sudden"

This is the first time I've ever held hands with an orange.

Honestly, I've been aware of it several times, but I didn't expect you to grasp it so lightly from over there...

"Isn't that nice? I've already had a hug."

"Well, somehow... momentum"

"This is momentum, too. Nfufu"

That said, oranges have only slightly strengthened my grip.

Through his hands, everything seemed to come through, not just the temperature of the orange body, but also the sound of the earliest heart and the heartbeat.

Perhaps my feelings have also been conveyed.

If that's the case, it's really bad...

"I can't escape. Stay where you are until you get home."

"... don't run away, sticky"

"Fufu, that's a good idea."

It is pulled by the connected hands and naturally matches the stride.

If we hadn't looked ahead, we'd know each other's speeds.

I didn't know before what the advantages of connecting hands were.

"Ah, today was the day to do the movie I wanted to see on the ground! I forgot!

Really? Since when?

"It's 9: 00! We have to go home!

Say, the orange runs out.

That hand pulled me, and I ran with it.

If we know each other's strides like this.

All you have to do is keep your hands together.

I didn't have a pattern, that's what I thought.
