For this very reason, my feelings to apologise and need for giving an explanation about the incident which happened during lunch time at school, dissipated at once. And I felt my throat unconsciously giving small laughing cries all of a sudden.

The air of the atmosphere had completely become one that can be thought of as an impatient and sulky best friend talking with one another.

Well, a possibility can be that my relationship with her had changed to casual friends as soon as my game name was said.

“First of all, what was that thing going on with you at school?”

“Ugh, that was kind of, I relied on Nanjo san to take me to a beauty salon and for shopping of clothes which I was wearing yesterday…”

“Hmm”

“I—I also have sometimes the desire to look beautiful!”

“……”

“Wh—What is it!”

Whenever I think of Hiyori’s attire of the day before, I can only imagine her in a jersey or sweatshirt at home. Rather than fashionable clothes, it’s hard to even find any memories of her wearing proper home clothes, and her hair is always in a shabby state.

Coming to think of it, Hiyori had left the house indeed very early yesterday. Now I understand so that was for to visit a hair salon.

It’s easy to misunderstand due to her usual appearance, but Hiyori is also a girl of this age. It’s not appalling that she’s also interested in fashion too, just because she hasn’t had the chance to dress up fashionably before.

In fact, Hiyori’s yesterday appearance made my heart skip a beat for real. If she takes care of her appearance on a regular basis, the boys at school will not leave her alone probably.

First of all, why did Hiyori put so much effort into dressing up like that in the first place. No, I know it’s to see Kreis, but … when I start to think about it, my chest gets all squirmy and I can’t help but feel this indescribable emotion.

“That reminds me, Hiyori was on good terms with Nanjo-san right.”

“Fue!? Nn, un. It’s just that we’ve had been in the same class ever since junior high. Ah, don’t tell me~, Kries kimi also sees Nanjo san as a love interest too?”

“Nope, nevermind.”

“Ahhh there you go again~! that girl is sure is so cute right~, I understand you very much! Don’t you think, this avatar would match her perfectly?”

Saying so, Philia san then changed into an avatar that looked like an idol costume with a flower motif and twirled around. Her short, unrealistic skirt, decorated with flower-like frills, then continued on dancing softly.

“Un, but even with this we still fall short drawing out that explosive power packed in Nanjo san …Ah by the way, do you know~? Nanjo san has huge hidden b*****s. At least an E or an F I would say?”

“Nnngh!?”

When I got asked about my thoughts on the school idol’s style suddenly, I involuntarily let out a weird noise. While from the next room, sounds of giggling could be heard.

“Well, um, I’ve touched it a few times from over the uniform. But as one would expect, her breast is indeed quite tender and soft when you feel it! that kind of makes you want to bury your face between them doesn’t it!”

“Ah um that, how should I answer to that question now?”

“I think you should say, I envy you!”

“Oh, Ohh.”

“There are several other things as well――”

While saying that, she continues to say detailed information that you can never know unless you are a girl yourself, such as the line of the collarbone and those thin legs that you see when changing clothes is just unbearable, also her freakishly thin waist etc. Hearing that made me incredibly nervous.

There is no doubt that Nanjo Rin is a beautiful girl. Objectively speaking, I think she also has a cute appearance. And then if you are told about the secrets of the same girl, I don’t know it is by the feeling of guilty or what somehow, I start feeling kind of awkward and unsettled.

Just how on earth do you even want me to react to all this?

But on another hand, the way Hiyori speaks so passionately about Rin san, I could somehow feel it being conveyed to me properly, the extraordinary feelings she has for her.

“Compared to that well-endowed Nanjo-san, mine is…It’s not fair! I call it unfair! Don’t you think so too!?”

“No.., even if you just tell and ask me about that…”

The b*****s of the lamenting Hiyori were indeed not well endowed. However, after being witness to Hiyori’s appearance yesterday, I think the size of her b*****s is a very trivial matter.

I almost pushed enter typing, “Regardless of the size of her b*****s, she looked cute yesterday, and she should dress like that more often,” but then I came back to my senses.

―― What was I thinking sending something like this?

A response that sounded as if I was flirting with her was written on the monitor screen. In my heart, it was completely a light-hearted response to Philia san. However, I remember that my friend is Hiyori, a reticent and shy girl.

―― What if I say something careless and Hiyori finds it strange?

I hurriedly start to delete the chat, and while in the middle of deleting that…

“Haaaa, it would feel so nice wouldn’t it……being cute and bright, being liked by everyone, and having big b***s – I also want to be like Nanjo-san.”

“… Hiyori?”

For a moment I couldn’t comprehend anything that was going on. Reflexively, “That’s something completely different!”, I wanted to shout that out.

I wanted to say something. I felt like I really need to say something, but somehow didn’t know what would be good to say, ―― and then, for some unknown reason, the memory of Hiyori meeting me for the first time came flooding into my mind and starts overlapping with the image of Philia san.

“More than that, let’s go for a walk at the train station!”

“Now? We will get scolded if we arrive late for dinner.”

“F—For just a while okay……ne?”

“Ahh really”

However, as if the same Hiyori seemingly wanting to pretend that there were no previous words in the chat log, started to type in another series of chats. I knew that she was trying to escape those complex feelings. However, I took advantage of that very suggestion given by Hiyori.

I wish I could be like Nanjo-san ――

Those very words by Hiyori were not only just left out displayed on the screen in the chat log but had firmly got imprinted in my very heart and mind as well.
