A Lucky? Dude Journey

Chapter 5 - 5 - Befriend Kaori, Status Update



Chapter 5

Greetings everyone! Your lovely MC Izumi here! It's been a week since I won the beginner piano competition. Right now I am on my way to a certain bakery. It's called Ma Fille Patisserie, for you who don't know that name, that is the name of Kaori's parent bakery. I am on a mission to be a friend with Kaori, also buying some Canelé for my brother and sister.

The local bakery located in the center of the town while my ryokan is at the edge near the forest and the mountain. It's quite far but I am allowed to go there by myself. Obviously, being a capable son and good brother for them caused them to believe in me that much.

*Bell ringing sounds

"Irasshaimase" someone who I believe is Kaori's dad greets me with the typical phrase for a customer.

"hmm? You are?" looking at my face, Kaori's dad seems to remember me from the piano competition. I am certain there are also many people who recognize me because of that competition. Because on my way here there are some people who murmuring something like "hey look, isn't that the winner of the recent piano competition, the kid who plays beautifully and made many people touched" or "hey looks that kid, so cute..." wait... the last sentence said by a 30-year-old man. And it made me instantly feel threatened especially my callipygian. Let's not use the same way when I go back.

"good afternoon, Oji-san you know me?" I tilted my head and asked him.

"You are Kitahara Izumi, right? The winner of last week's piano competition?" with a cheerful face he said.

"Indeed, it's me, did you watch it? Thank you!" I said with a cheery tone.

"It goes without saying I did watch it with my family. My daughter even wants to learn to play violin suddenly even though she's already signed up to learn piano" Smiling, Kaori's dad said that to me happily.

"Really? But why violin?"

"She said she wanted to perform alongside you, she plays the violin and you will be the accompanist she said"

"Sure!! I will be her accompanist when she's ready! Oh, right before I forgot about it, I want to buy 10 Canelé, please. My sister really likes it."

"Much appreciated, sure here's the Canelé. Before you go home, how about meet my daughter. I am sure you can be her friend."

"With pleasure Oji-san why not?"

"Wait here okay, I will call her."

Saying that Kaori's dad going inside to call Kaori. She is currently learning to play violin by herself at the moment. Apparently doing a revision of something that she learned from her sensei. Anyway not long after that I heard running sound running down the stairs. She seems delighted. It means my plan to make her admire me is successful.

"Whaa... It's the real Kitahara-kun!!"Kaori said excitedly.

"Good afternoon, umm- I think I haven't heard your name yet,," I said with a smile.

"Y-yes, my name is Miyazono Kaori. Nice to meet you!" Kaori said embarrassedly

"I think you already know my name but, My name is Kitahara Izumi. Nice to meet you Kaori"

"K-k-kaori?" Getting red, she said in a low voice. But unfortunately for her, I heard that.

"ah I'm sorry, should I call you Miyazono-san?" I said with a disappointed expression.

"NO! IT'S FINE! C-can I call you Izumi too?"

"Sure thing Kaori"

After that, me and Kaori chatting normally inside her house. She's quite shy at first but after about 30 minutes talking she's already a bit fine. She talked about her recent violin training excitedly. Of course, I was a good listener, listen quietly, and making some praise to her to make her happy. We also play Baba Nuki. She's not that good at hiding her expressions. So I won many times.

"Oh, it's already at this time, I should go home for now. My sister might pout because I take too long to bring her favorite Canelé."

"You're going home?" She said sadly.

"Yes, my sister is waiting for me."

"Before that... Can you... Be my friend?" with her head looking down, she said.

"Hmm? Am I the only one who thinks we're already friends?" I said with a smile.

"...! Y-yes, of course, we are friend"

"Good, I thought I was the only one. Hehe. Next time I will bring my brother and sister to play too. See you next time Kaori."

"Yess, I'll be waiting. See you Izumi"

Just like that my first visit to Kaori's bakery was completed. I am happy I come to be her friend. I will proceed with this rhythm to make her fall for me. Oh before I end this talk, I will show you my status right now. Here it is.
