<h1>Will I get to use this Umbrella? (2)</h1>
Everything finally made sense. Looking at Akitsu-san, she had a large umbrella in hand. They were both going to go home under that large umbrella. One of them had probably seen the forecast this morning, brought their umbrella and planned to share it.
From the looks of it, even though it’s expected to rain heavily, if it’s that large umbrella, these two girls should be able to fit underneath without getting wet. And here I thought I could share an umbrella with her, but Natsuno-san already had plans to share an umbrella with someone else.
There’s no other way, maybe I should give up for today……..
Pulling out “The Umbrella of Intertwining Fate” I stare at it hoping for another chance someday. It was easy to use “The Night Invitation Candle”, but it seems like it’ll be difficult using this new item.
In the first place, it’s never easy asking a girl to share an umbrella with a guy.
For young teenage boys, the hoops and hurdles we have to jump through are too damn high.
I sigh to myself as I pull out my shoes from my shoebox, preparing to go home alone.
Opening my umbrella just as I was about to leave the door―
Hearing a certain person's voice beside me, I became curious and looked in that direction.
It was Class Rep and Akitsu-san having a little conversation. Glancing at Akitsu-san I could see a gleeful smirk as if she was planning something.
“…….Akitsu? What’re you doing?”
Turning towards Akitsu, Natsuno made a grimacing face, trying to ask what she was trying to do.
That was when Akitsu-san opened her mouth with a sly smile.
“Hiyori, why don’t you share an umbrella with Saino-kun, he went through all that effort too. Don’t worry, no one’s around to see, so why not take the opportunity.”
With Akitsu’s sudden proposition, Natsuno makes a wry smile while glancing at me. Even I was surprised.
Why would Akitsu say something like that at a time like this?
I mean it’s perfect for me…… But it just seems too good to be true, what is Akitsu-san planning.
What is going through her head, that made her suggest to Natsuno to share an umbrella with me?
“Look Hiyori, in the meantime just share an Umbrella with Saino-kun until we get to the convenience store nearby. And then we’ll switch from there.”
“Hey Akitsu, just wait……..”
Giggling Akitsu smiles while opening the umbrella in her hand, going outside by herself. Standing in the rain, she casually says.
“You two should hurry up.”
“……We should go,” I said.
“Hmm….. Fine let's go. I’m sorry about Akitsu, she always does strange things….” Natsuno-san anxiously said keeping her distance.
“Ahaha….. you must have it hard.” I giggled.
With a bitter smile and “The Umbrella of Intertwining Fate” opens.
I gesture for us to go. Natsuno made an apologetic face, but as soon as she came next to me, she suddenly blushed instead.
“Ohohoh, would you look at that, you look like the perfect couple.”
“Haha…….. ‘Sigh’ she really likes to do random things, every now and then……”
Akitsu laughs teasingly, while Natsuno sighs with her head down.
Maintaining a manly front, I secretly rejoiced in my heart.
I’m not sure how things turned out this way, but I finally was able to share an umbrella with a girl. All that’s left is to walk them home for as long as possible.
I wonder how effective the umbrella would be, would they even want to get closer to me?
Trying not to get wet by the rain, my heart trembled with anticipation.
