I was at home thinking: Was I actually friendzoned?
“This cannot be happening...”
“What can’t be happening?” Rena walked towards me and wondered.
“Akane friendzoned me for something her friend did...”
“Why?”
“Uh, can’t you see what I’m wearing?”
“Oh...” She saw the clothes I was wearing, not aware in the first place.
Ugh~ Why… why does this have to happen to me? Milky, this is ALL your fault!!!
“Hm… if it’s because of that, I may know a solution.”
“Eh..?”
-----------------
Oh Lord…
I was back in Churi's hospital room. in something no-one expected me to wear...
“EEEEEEEEH?! A-Airin?!”
“Hai~ Airin desu~~~”
Rena, you are such a lolicon. Why did you buy a frilly dress and force me to speak in this girly voice???
“Uh… what happened to--?”
“Churi~ imma hop, step, and jump to get you~”
“I don’t really get what’s going on, but you seem quite cute.”
“Arigato~~~ Now, please, don’t hate me. Onegai~”
“Eh? Who said I hated you?”
“Datte...”
“Airin, I love you, no matter what.”
“So, what happened yesterday?”
“Oh, that? I didn’t mean anything bad.”
“Well, it kinda hurt my feelings...”
“Gomen.”
“So… you’re not friend-zoning me?”
“Why would I? I know I might’ve hurt your feelings and I knew Miyuki was lying, as she always does. Anyway, why are you in that?”
“Well… From Miyuki to my friend Rena… I feel like a manikin or a ragdoll for dressing up. But.. Which side of me do you like?”
“Eh? Umm...” Her cheeks were a pale red, allowing me to figure out that she was embarassed of the question, “Your boyish side, I wanna see more of it~”
I don’t know what to think…. Should I do more danso? From her expression, I think I should~
Well… I don’t think this is going to last long….
Meanwhile….
“What should we do, Black?” A girl in a hoodie asked her friend, who was expressionless behind her.
“We need to get her, the bird loving girl before the target.” Black said, in a dark and monotone voice.
“Well, isn’t it easy to just get her when she’s vulnerable?”
“Nezumi, of course it isn’t. Even if we get her now, the other girl will just get her back.”
“What are their names anyway?”
“Umm, Takayanagi Akane and Furukawa Airi, I think. Takayanagi is the one in the hospital bed, Furukawa is the one in the frilly dress.”
“Umm, I hope Furukawa knows how to protect herself, ‘cause boss don’t want to see his daughter hurt unless it’s him who’s doing the hurting.”
