Dragging my heavy body, I finally set off on my way home.

[Next stop: ○× Station, ○× Station――――]

On the train.

Usually, I would open some random reference book, but today I wasn’t in the mood for that.

I just stared blankly out the window.

Thinking back, both Kisaragi-san and Hatsune-san had the same nearest station.

What a miracle.

I only realized that now, a year after starting school.

If only I had known this fact earlier.

Would I have become a closer friend with her?

“…”

Eventually, I grew tired of the scenery and brought my attention to the screen in my hand.

To find the answer.

I have a consultation, if that's okay.

302: Username: Anonymous in Love

Sure.

303: Username: Anonymous in Love

As long as it's not about love issues.

My specialty is fresh seafood.

304: Username: Anonymous in Love

>>303

Get out lol.

305: Username: 1

No, it's not about love issues.

306: Username: Anonymous in Love

Huh?

307: Username: Anonymous in Love

Isn't this the thread about becoming more popular?

308: Username: 1

Is that so?

309: Username: Anonymous in Love

Is that so?

310: Username: Anonymous in Love

Isn't this just a thread for making outrageous demands to the OP?

311: Username: Anonymous in Love

But it's the OP who's proposing things lol.

312: Username: Anonymous in Love

Well, well. What's the consultation about?

313: Username: 1

…Never mind.

Actually, recently, I made a new friend.

314: Username: Anonymous in Love

Hmm?

315: Username: Anonymous in Love

It's surprising that the introverted OP (Rainbow Hair) has a friend now.

316: Username: 1

But it's like, I don't really feel like I'm matching up to them at all.

I couldn't really talk much today either, and I don't know what to do.

317: Username: Anonymous in Love

What do you mean by “not matching up”?

318: Username: 1

It's like, I'm always alone in a corner of the classroom, and my friend is bright and popular, so… well, how should I put it.

319: Username: Anonymous in Love

Ah, so there's a pretty big caste difference.

320: Username: Anonymous in Love

I understand what you're trying to say, but this sounds more like complaining than consulting.

321: Username: Anonymous in Love

It's unusual for you.

322: Username: Anonymous in Love

So, what do you want to become?

---

My hand holding the phone froze, unable to flick input.

“What do you want to become?”—Searching for the answer in my head.

[“I want to be friends with Icchi!”]

Since she said that.

What did I think about her?

…

I—

323: Username: 1

I want to get closer to my friend.

This is the first time that I have made a friend since starting school.

---

Those words were typed out as a single post.

Without a doubt, it was my true feeling.

Swaying on the train—I surprised myself.

Ah.

Why hadn't I realized such a simple thing?

---

324: Username: Anonymous in Love

I knew it.

325: Username: Anonymous in Love

I knew it (I knew it).

326: Username: Anonymous in Love

You could have said that earlier…

327: Username: 1

But, how can I become closer to my friend?

We don't get many chances to talk.

328: Username: Anonymous in Love

What's important is the “depth.”

It's not about frequency.

329: Username: Anonymous in Love

It's the same with friends and lovers.

Whether it's same-sex or opposite-sex, if nothing happens, there won't be any progress.

330: Username: Anonymous in Love

If you want to become closer, you need to make moves.

Friendship and love are the same as business (virgin).

331: Username: Anonymous in Love

That's a mess, lol.

332: Username: Anonymous in Love

Ah, it was so serious, too…

333: Username: 1

Thanks, everyone. I'll give it a try.

334: Username: Anonymous in Love

The virgins are cheering for you, OP. [TL: O7]

335: Username: Anonymous in Love

I'm not a virgin!! (virgin)

336: Username: Anonymous in Love

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Closing the noisy thread.

I left the station platform and headed home.

“……Alright!”

I've decided what I want to become.

Now it's just a matter of taking action.
