How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

"Ah."

"Ah"

The summer vacation was also in the middle of the day.

I came to school alone to advance the task.

It wasn't particularly necessary, but occasionally when I try to change the environment like this, I feel like I can learn more than usual.

Changing places to stay focused seems to be a generally effective way to stay focused.

Our school is open during the summer vacation.

That would be just right, so I was heading for the lift.

Mr. Orange.

"Natsume-san. Hello."

A tennis court just outside the school gate.

I ran into Kyoya-san in Natsume, who ran away from there.

Natsume is wearing a school jersey and a wristband on her wrist.

It looks a little younger than normal student clothes, but I still don't know where the refreshment stops.

"Hello, what's going on? Were you in the club?

"No, I was thinking of doing some work in the library."

"Issue....."

His bright expression sparked my bloody heart.

I'm sure there's not much progress.

"... are you done yet?

"As planned."

"... after all, Mr. Orange is solid."

"I know the amount and duration beforehand, so it's easier to do it little by little."

"Ufufu...."

Natsume-san held her stomach for some reason and said that she felt painful.

"Stop it... that word works for me"

"Samuel did the same kind of reaction."

Oh, is that so?

Natsume-san laughs hahahaha.

As always, he's a fun person.

Is Natsume-san practicing tennis?

"Yeah, it's almost noon, but it's almost over."

Thank you for your summer vacation.

"Thank you. But it's what I like to do."

Is Satsuki coming too?

"Whoa, you want me to call you?

"No, I don't need anything in particular."

I see.

At that time, the tennis court cheered wow.

Maybe he's playing a game or something.

"Speaking of which, is this the first time you two have spoken?

"... that's right. If they say so."

After tracing my memory, I didn't think of a single conversation between Natsume-san and me.

I'm already completely used to talking, so I feel kind of strange.

"What an accident. I feel like we were together."

"I was always between you and Saki."

"But you're my friend, right? Who are we?"

"Yes, of course."

"Ahahah. I'm glad."

That's what Natsume-san said, laughing softly.

This kind of affection is something I would definitely like Mr. Ian to apprentice me.

Well, I don't think that's Mr. Ian anymore, even though he's a loving Ian.

"How's it going? Are you and Leung getting along?

"... yes"

It was a difficult question to answer.

The answer is yes, but isn't it embarrassing?

They've already found out what they're calling each other by the name below...

I see. Good, good. Cheap is good, but clumsy. Don't worry. "

"That's right. But I'm clumsy, too."

"Ahahah. Well, they look alike. If we can do it without stress, we can do it safely for now."

"Yes, at least I've been very well treated by Mr. Leung."

"Oh... that cheap one. I grew up... mmm"

Natsume-san said with a pleasant voice, as if she had abated a little.

"Thank you, Mr. Orange. Find him."

Carefully, Natsume-san's tone was always calm.

"If it weren't for Mr. Orange, he'd still be looking backwards on everything."

"... that's..."

"Thank you so much. It was thanks to Mr. Orange that he turned into a good one."

I saw his big, energetic eyes gently narrow.

A friend of Ian's.

He was not actively trying to engage anyone, and he was the only person who was his best friend.

"... that's my line."

What?

"... thank you so much for staying with me all the time. Thanks to Natsume-san, he's... no, we're..."

I didn't know what to say, so I cut myself off there.

I just wanted to convey my gratitude to Natsume.

I wanted to thank Mr. Leung for not leaving him alone.

"... thank you."

"... Leung is a happy man."

"Eh...."

Natsume-san looked at me with a smile.

"With Mr. Orange, then with me. You're blessed with such a good girlfriend. Fuhahaha!

"... fufu. That's right."

We both laughed while we were facing each other.

It must have been a creepy sight.

But it didn't really matter to us.

It's a luxury.

"Yes, it's luxurious"

"All right, let's get you some mess next time."

"Very nice. I'll come with you."

"Oops! Then let's invite Sazuki on a double date!

"Double date...?"

"Wow, this is gonna be fun!

"... that's right. I don't think Mr. Leung would like it."

"I'm gonna have to take you out. I'm gonna take you out."

Well then, I'll take care of it.

Ok!

Natsume-san really smiled happily.

I think it's a wonderful part of him that no one else can smile at us.

"Natsume! Help me clean up!

"Oops."

Suddenly there was a call from the tennis court and Natsume looked back at you.

Looks like you talked too much.

"I have to go. Goodbye, Mr. Orange."

"Yes, goodbye. Say hello to Satsuki."

Ohhhh

Natsume waved back to the tennis court.

How can he be friends with Mr. Leung?

Then why did Sazuki choose him?

I felt like I understood the reason once again.
