Next day. Day off.
I was standing at the convenience store near the station where we are supposed to meet up at.
It certainly makes you nervous when it is a date. My heart is beating so fast! My clothes are set properly. Even if we see each other everyday, I need to dress properly.
I look around. The town looks like it’s autumn, but the heat from the summer is still present. I’m wearing long-sleeved clothes, but maybe half-sleeved would have been okay?
When it was about to become 10 o’clock, the time we promised to meet at, a girl my age wearing a one-piece with a cute frill on it stops in front of my eyes…… Wait!
“A-Akeno-san……?”
“I’m sorry, did I make you wait?”
“N-No.”
I blinked my eyes… and my heart was racing.
Akeno-san with her hair down. Her clothes are those cute ones worn by girls her age. It is my first time seeing Akeno-san wearing boots! I actually thought she would wear sophisticated clothes more mature women would wear. That’s what I imagined. So this is how she dresses up when she goes out with Buchou!
Today Akeno-san is wearing cute clothes worn by high school girls! She looks the same age as me…. No! She may even look younger than me.
She looks even more beautiful than usual. No, Akeno-san is always beautiful, but today she looks exceptionally beautiful. No, rather than looking beautiful, she looks cute!
While my eyes were taken by Akeno-san’s cuteness…..
“I… I feel shy if you look at me like that. ……Do I look weird today?”
She asks me but I shook my head to the side.
“You look super cute! You look amazing!”
