Love, Dreams, Friendship

Intuition of Childhood Friends

In the baseball club room where the practice is finished, Kaori tells Masaki that she is in class today. After listening to the story, Masaki nodded hard with a satisfying smile. Kaori mysteriously stared at Masaki's reaction.

"What, that reaction."

"No, I think it looks like Nao."

"Is that so?"

Kaori, who was shocked by Nao's behavior today, did not know what Nao was like. Masaki continued to speak happily to the Kaori.

"It's usually relatively quiet, but if someone gets hurt or looks down on someone, no matter who they are, they'll be active."

Kaori remembers the homeroom teacher, saying that Takumi today has an attitude of disdain for Atsushi.

"Then, today there was a man who looked down on people, so Nao was sharp ..."　

"And ... that's right."

Masaki muttered meaningfully at Kaori's words.

"What do you mean?"

Kaori did not understand the meaning for a moment, but I was surprised to remember Masaki's words a while ago.

"ah! Eh? That kind of thing? ... Because a loved one is hurt ..."

Masaki smiled at Kaori's words as she realized something while slightly confused.

"Well, that's just my intuition. I don't know how conscious Nao is."

“Oh... maybe this is not an impossible story..”.

Kaori says that when she speaks in a group, Nao makes a statement that protects Atsushi, and that Atsushi hears through Aika greeting Nao, saying hello, and then he exchanged the greetings he heard from Nao himself.I remember the conversation with Atsushi in the library. Then, looking back on Nao's actions today, I thought that Masaki's intuition might be correct.

"What should I do ... I'll grin if I'm on Nao tomorrow ..."

Kaori had an excited expression while holding her cheeks with both hands. Masaki laughed at Kaori's expression.

"It looks so fun."

"Well, it's okay. Something about my friend's love."

"Don't say anything weird. It's just my intuition."

Masaki gave anxious advice when he saw Kaori hovering a little. Kaori nodded, saying, "I know, I know."

"... Oh, but."

Suddenly Kaori turned into a flat face and looked worried about something. Masaki thought in his heart that he was a "busy man" while looking at Kaori who suddenly changed her expression. Then, an unexpected word was uttered from Kaori.

"Kimura will be heartbroken."

"..."

"..."

"……teeth?"

"... Sorry, Miyashita. What are you talking about?"

"Maybe Nao is talking about Hasumi ..."

Atsuto had already returned and the other remaining members were talking to each other, and it seemed like this conversation was not heard, but Kaori lowered her tone just in case.

"That's right. It's about Nao."

Masaki thought about it and confirmed it to Kaori. Kaori shook her head twice and confirmed Masaki's words.

"... Then why did you come up with a story about my broken heart?"

Masaki asked Kaori what she wanted to confirm first.

"Well, because Kimura likes Nao, right?"

Kaori answered as usual. Masaki denied his answer with all his might after losing his words for a while.

"No, no, no, no! When did you say that?"

"Is that wrong?"

"No. No, I like Nao as a person, but I don't have romantic feelings."

"Is that so? Isn't that a childhood friend?"

Kaori asked surprised at Masaki who denied it.

"You shouldn't see your childhood friend in a drama or manga picture. I'm sorry I didn't live up to my expectations, but I never had any romantic feelings between me and Nao."

"Lied, that's right."

Kaori had a slightly disappointed expression on her face. Masaki smiled bitterly when he saw such a scent.

"I'm sorry."

"At first I thought I was dating, but when I was with Nao, I realized that wasn't the case, and I knew that Nao didn't have romantic feelings with Kimura ... Oh, this I think it. The boy's childhood friend was actually thinking of a pattern he had long thought of.”

"What pattern is that?"

"Well, there's quite a lot, that's right. Looks like a girl had a boyfriend before she could confess. That's why ..."

"The branding is incredible."

Masaki laughed while saying so. Kaori also laughed with it and became a relieved face.

"But it's good. Kimura is not heartbroken."

"Don't worry."

"With this, I can support Nao and Hasumi without worrying about it."

"It's so thick."

Seeing Kaori who was laughing happily from the bottom of her heart, Masaki was happy that Nao had a good friend, and at the same time, a good friend, she felt that Kaori who was trying to support her friend's love with all her might was a cute rice field. Something will start moving in Masaki, but it's a little further.
