Vol 10 Chapter ss4: Ichinose Honami Short Story: Small HeartbeatsIchinose Honami Short Story: Small Heartbeats
The time crept closer towards midnight. I’ve been hanging around in the rooms of several boys from Class B before, but staying at a boy’s room at this hour was a first for me.
Furthermore, being alone together with a boy like now was obviously something I haven’t experienced yet.
We were done discussing the topic I had to talk about.
I just have to drink this cup of hot chocolate I held in my hands before returning back.
«Hey, Ayanokouji-kun.»
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI stared at the cup while calling out to him.
«Hmm?»
He replied back with the blank face he always had, or pretty close to it, as I could feel a sense of composure from it.
«Ayanokouji-kun, are you perhaps someone really amazing?»
«What makes you think so? Sorry, but that’s something I’m not aware of.»
«That’s even more amazing if so. I mean, Ayanokouji-kun…»
You saved Sakura-san. The actions you took during the special exam aboard the cruiser. How fast you were during the sports festival…
Yes, that’s right. There’s no doubt about it.
This person, Ayanokouji-kun is a very intelligent person.
I can’t come up with an example but…I can’t come up with words to explain how great he seems to be…
Isn’t he a person we should be way, way more cautious of than Horikita-san or Hirata-kun after all?
But if that’s true…
«What is it?»
«No, nothing at all.»
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI was assaulted with the feeling of something tightening inside me and averted my eyes.
He will surely become a formidable enemy.
And then, we will be unable to spend time and laugh together like this anymore.
I have to remember this fact.
I know. I know that this is inevitable due to the school rules. The fact that we are in separate classes is something we can’t fight. I will prepare myself for that time.
But now, only for now…I want to talk to him just like a normal girl.
«…what’s this, I wonder…»
This, strange feeling.
Even though I was talking to him just recently, just as usual.
For some reason, I could feel my heart beating softly.
