At last, Synchronicity’s first solo concert, “Synchro!” will be taking place tomorrow.
It was just after school had ended.
Today, I was going to meet up with Shiorin and the others, who were going to show me their finished dance.
I was honored that they wanted me to be there for the final adjustments.
Rinka hadn’t arrived yet, and Shiorin had gone to call the other members.
So, I waited together with Hasumi behind the school building.
It’s so… calming here.
Well, staring at this girl’s real face does feel embarrassing though.
“I’m sure Rinka has to shake off her followers first, so she might be a little late, huh~.”
Hasumi nodded at my words.
“Yeah… A-Actually, I have something to give you before everyone else arrives, Ritsuki.”
Then, Hasumi bashfully took out a paper bag from her bag.
“P-Previously… When I saw Shiorin and the girls reading the book I gave them, I knew that giving people books that they really need makes me happy, after all.”
“Hasumi…”
“S-So… I brought a book I thought you’d like, Ritsuki. Will you take it…?”
I was so moved by Hasumi’s incredibly kind gesture that I grabbed the paper bag and her hand.
When I did, Hasumi’s mouth slackened, seemingly relieved.
“Thank you! I can’t wait to read a book that you thought would suit me! I’ll make sure to pore over my book till it gets worn out, too!”
“R-Really…? I’d be glad if so… You seemed to want the book the other day since you were looking for it.”
I received the paper bag with the book in it from Hasumi, whose face was gradually turning redder and redder for some reason.
A book I wanted the other day…?
I have absolutely no clue what that could be…
Also, this paper bag is pretty big.
“Is there more than 1 book in here?”
“Y-Yes… Because, well… I didn’t know what would suit your tastes.”
“I see… I’m curious as to what genre the books are.”
“S-Since you’re always really nice, Ritsuki, I thought you’d want some more quirky excitement in your books instead! Those are the kinds of books I chose! Sorry, I’m not too well-versed in this particular area though, so I’m not sure if you’ll like them or not.”
Something really exciting… A horror story, perhaps?
I’m not a huge fan of the ones with lots of blood and stuff though…
