How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

I couldn't even think of myself, and turned my face towards the orange.

"What? What do you want?

While I was answering back, I realized that I was not talking about oranges.

Now that I know, my tone was a little bit rougher than I expected.

"It's me. It's irrational, it's boring, it has no love. Isn't that Rika Tangerine?

I almost shouted and pressed my heart forcefully.

But the anger doesn't go away.

"That's what Nanba thinks of me, too. A nasty woman just for appearance. Isn't that right?

……

I put my hand on my chest.

Take a deep breath and tidy up your messy head.

There was anger in me.

So, what's the target?

A lowly word of orange that should be strong.

Those girls who hurt the oranges.

Or I don't know the answer, stupid myself.

I don't know.

But that's all I can say.

That's all I had to say.

I like oranges.

"... eh?

"Whatever you think of yourself, I appreciate oranges. Really, from the bottom of my heart."

"... um..."

"Too strong, cold, serious. But I like oranges that are compassionate and accept me, regardless of their appearance."

Orange looked incredibly surprised.

With her small hands on her mouth, she opened her eyes and kept silent.

But that's what I meant.

And I would never have been able to say this if it weren't for a situation like this.

It might have been a somewhat misleading way of saying it.

But I'm sure oranges will understand this word correctly.

"If you believe them more than I do, I won't say anything anymore. But they're other people, and I'm your friend. I'm absolutely right. Oranges are good."

……

"That's why I want to be friends with such oranges. That's what you told me."

After that, I dropped the burnt meat on the roaster from the gap in the net into the flame.

I can't see the orange because of the shyness.

The Coke I drank to cool my hot face was also completely lukewarm and unconscious.

"... Mr. Nanba"

"... what is it?"

"... thank you."

"No...."

With those words, we ate meat again silently.

The orange face, which I glanced at, somehow completely brightened up.

What, it wasn't a big deal?

By the time we left the store satisfied with each other, the oranges were completely back to normal.

"After all, yakiniku has a great effect."

Yes, yes, thank goodness.

Walking side by side, Orange says that in a good mood.

Whatever it takes to get better, but it's a surprisingly intense up-and-down thing, isn't it?

"... Mr. Nanba"

"What is it now?"

"I understand."

"What?

"In the end, no one can like us. Naturally I like it or dislike it. Yet when it comes to relationships, people tend to forget about it."

"... so?

"In conclusion... even if I like someone, that's fine with me."

"... that's right."

I have the exact same idea.

But you made me feel that way, Orange.

"But suddenly I'm feeling better, you."

"Oh no... that's not true."

"Really?

That's right.

I don't know.

That's right!

I decided not to pursue any further because it was likely to tease me.

It must be because of my mind that my orange face looks red.

That's why my face is so hot. It's definitely my fault.
