"Does it suit ?"
Kato gumi blinked.
Her expectant expression was like magic, making people fall in love.
"Far beyond expectations, gumi looks very attractive in a sporty style."
"Whether it's a cute or sporty style, gumi could easily conquer the fashion industry. Really, no one has invited gumi to be a model?"
Yukima Azuma added to his earlier omission of not complinting the girl when they first t.
From earlier, the girl wanted to secretly attack Yukima Azuma's waist.
Upon hearing the complint, she finally gave up on this intention.
Instead, she smiled joyfully.
Indeed, it felt nice to be noticed.
Kato gumi thought to herself.
But her gaze involuntarily fell back on Yukima Azuma.
So, was it her, the person with the faint presence, being noticed by soone else that made her happy?
Or was it because he noticed her that made her feel happy?
As these thoughts ca to mind, the answer naturally appeared in her head.
It must be the latter.
Because when Yukima Azuma asked her if anyone had invited her to be a model,
She had imagined that scene for a mont.
But it didn't feel anything special.
But if it were now.
If the boy took out his phone and wanted to take a picture of her, then...
While thinking this, Kato gumi saw Yukima Azuma now take out his phone and point the cara at her.
Her heartbeat started to speed up.
Her cheeks slightly flushed.
Kato gumi felt she wouldn't be the type to blush easily.
But in the photo, her face seed to be naturally painted with a perfect hint of pink.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"Are you asking directly? Anyway, I do feel shy, Azuma-san."
"Hehe."
Kato gumi removed her beige baseball cap and went to pay.
She had quite a bit of money right now.
Although her share from White Album was only a small portion,
It was enough for a girl who usually just strolled around the shops without buying anything to get a few things she liked.
The two of them continued to browse around the 100-yen stores.
Picking up a bottle of essential oil, sniffing it, then putting it down.
Choosing a few cute hair ties, then leaving them behind.
Gently pressing on the stuffed animals on the shelf.
Then, buying nothing, they both stepped outside.
The staff at the 100-yen store had grown accustod to this scene.
....
"gumi really likes to walk around shopping areas, doesn't she? Even if she doesn't buy anything, she looks really happy."
Yukima Azuma said with a smile.
Kato gumi slightly lowered the brim of her baseball cap.
She was hiding a bit of the emotions spilling out.
She wasn't the type to hide her likes.
When she liked sothing, she just liked it.
It would show in her actions, her eyes, her words, any way possible.
So, she only slightly lowered the brim of her hat.
After a while of strolling, the two of them finally entered the supermarket.
They picked up so potatoes and eggs.
Both were versatile ingredients that could appear in many dishes.
Additionally, Yukima Azuma chose so hairy crabs from the frozen food section.
These were the last batch of seafood available before the storm arrived.
They originated from Hokkaido.
A premium delicacy, just like Japanese Wagyu beef.
Thinking about the storm's path later,
Yukima Azuma felt that if they didn't buy it now,
These seafoods would only be available to eat after a few months.
"If you have ti this afternoon, co over and take so ho."
Yukima Azuma winked at Kato gumi.
Kato gumi looked at the hairy crabs in Yukima Azuma's hands.
Thinking about the fresh at of this premium delicacy and Yukima Azuma's genius cooking skills.
She nodded seriously.
Then, they bought a few more ingredients.
Kato gumi carried a large bag and slowly stepped out of the supermarket.
Taking advantage of the mont when the girl couldn't resist, Yukima Azuma reached up and pinched her cheek.
Until Kato gumi took a deep breath, causing her cheek to puff up slightly.
At that point, Yukima Azuma stopped teasing her and hurriedly took the large bag of groceries.
The supermarket is very close to Kato gumi's house.
Therefore, there was no reason to refuse, and the two of them walked together toward Kato gumi's house.
At the door of the house.
Finally, the two had to say goodbye for a short while.
Yukima Azuma returned the bag to Kato gumi.
Then, from his bag, he took out a light novel.
This was the printed manuscript of "The Youth of a Lonely Boy Will Not Dream of a Passerby Heroine."
It is usually stored by the publishers.
Yukima Azuma had packaged it nicely and was now handing it to Kato gumi.
"Here, this is the light novel I wrote. I promised you, rember?"
Yukima Azuma handed the book to her.
Kato gumi reached out to take the book.
Then, she carefully hugged it to her chest.
"I will read it carefully," she promised.
Yukima Azuma didn't answer; he just smiled lightly and ruffled her hair.
And so, Kato gumi returned to her house.
She first placed the ingredients on the kitchen floor.
Then, Kato gumi went to her room and carefully placed the book she had been holding in her hands on her desk.
She really wanted to start reading it right now.
Because this was the light novel written by Yukima Azuma.
She wanted to find out more.
But to have the best experience,
Kato gumi decided she would finish her current tasks first, and set aside ti after dinner to read the light novel.
Returning to the kitchen, Kato gumi quickly got to cooking.
To finish quickly, she chose a simple curry dish for lunch today.
She chopped the ingredients into manageable pieces, and after they had cooked a little, she put them into the pressure cooker to simr.
When the dish was finished,
Kato gumi went to her sister's room.
She knocked on the door and opened it.
"Sis, it's ti to eat."
Kato Hiromi replied without looking up:
"I know, gumi, you can eat first, I... I'll finish one more chapter and then eat!"
Seeing her sister almost completely imrsed in the light novel,
Kato gumi sighed.
Although normally, when it was ti for a al, her sister was always eager to eat.
"Hey, you've been sitting like this since this morning, not moving at all."
Kato gumi recalled.
Before going out, her sister had been sitting at the desk with her head buried in the light novel.
Now, after gumi had gone shopping and even finished cooking, Kato Hiromi hadn't changed her position.
"This one is different from the others, it feels like if I don't finish reading it and go do sothing else, it would be an insult."
Kato gumi moved closer.
She picked up a bookmark from the desk, placed it in her sister's light novel, and closed it.
"Ahhh, I'll die without Kujou gumi! Just one more chapter, please! Just one chapter!"
Kato Hiromi cried out dramatically.
"Eat first, then you can read more after."
Kato gumi said, but her gaze was slightly puzzled.
Kujou gumi?
She looked at the cover of the book that had been taken away.
The Youth of a Lonely Boy Will Not Dream of a Passerby Heroine.
That familiar title caught her eye.
When she saw that familiar na,
Kato gumi's heart started beating a little faster.
.....
The two sisters sat at the dining table and began eating spoonfuls of curry rice.
They were both lost in thought, neither paying much attention to the taste of the dish.
"Is that light novel really that good?"
Kato gumi suddenly asked.
Hearing her sister's question, Kato Hiromi imdiately beca enthusiastic and started to "evangelize."
The Youth of a Lonely Boy Will Not Dream of a Passerby Heroine isn't just about being good or not, it's the kind that you'll fall in love with imdiately once you start reading!"
"Yesterday was its first release day, and it sold two million copies. Yesterday, I went to the bookstore but didn't have ti to buy it."
"Just in one day, at least two million people fell in love with Kujou gumi, the heroine of the novel!"
"People like gumi, who are gentle, really have a soul-healing charm. I want to dump my boyfriend and marry gumi instead..."
While evangelizing, Kato Hiromi suddenly felt that sothing was off.
gumi?
Kato Hiromi stared at her younger sister, Kato gumi.
A gentle feeling, like a breeze, touched her soul.
"gumi?"
"What is it?"
Kato gumi looked up, glancing at her sister with a puzzled expression.
She blinked and tilted her head at the perfect angle—an enchantnt to win soone's heart.
Kato Hiromi's eyes widened.
"gumi! So, you're the heroine in the legend!"
Upon hearing this, Kato gumi instinctively brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear.
"You're suddenly saying this without any context. Even I feel awkward about it."
"You've ntioned the traits of heroines before, I don't have anything, do I?"
"No standout traits, not a genius, no tragic past, and my personality is quite ordinary."
"In the crowd, no one... well, most people don't even notice ."
Hearing her younger sister's words, which carried a hint of disappointnt, Kato Hiromi took a deep breath.
Ahhhhhhh! gumi is right here beside !
The good news is, the legendary heroine is my little sister!
The bad news is, the legendary heroine is my little sister.
Hiromi placed both hands on her sister's shoulders and said seriously:
"That's exactly what's so lovable about you. Unlike typical heroines, it's your unique charm that makes you the legendary heroine!"
Kato gumi stepped back from her sister's grasp, moving away from her.
"Sis, today... you look a bit disgusting."
"Ah! I'm dood!"
The Kato family's lunch passed with lively chatter.
...
After lunch,
Kato gumi ran back to her room.
Kato Hiromi stayed at the table, lost in thought.
Now, not only did she have to dump her boyfriend, but she also had to overco gender and familial barriers...
Kato Hiromi slapped her forehead.
What am I even thinking? All these weird ideas.
She forced herself to control the excitent stirred by The Youth of a Lonely Boy Will Not Dream of a Passerby Heroine.
Kato Hiromi suddenly regained so clarity in her thoughts.
Could her little sister really be the gumi from the legend?
Theoretically, the possibility was nearly impossible.
But the actions and words of the girl in the book were eerily similar to those of her sister.
Hiromi recalled what their parents had said earlier—that after spring break, her sister had started staying out all night.
Hiromi took a cold breath.
No way!
...
anwhile, in Kato gumi's room, she was staring at the book on her desk, with a different cover but the sa familiar title.
With her intelligence, gumi quickly realized sothing.
When Yukima Azuma said that he would follow through with their promise today, it wasn't just about giving her the light novel.
It was also the promise he had made earlier—that she was the most captivating heroine in the world.
At the ti, she had asked him how he would do it.
He had said he would keep it a secret.
And then, in her heart, an expectation had blood.
That expectation had never faded over ti.
On the contrary, it had grown like a seed buried deep in her heart, gradually taking root and growing strong.
Until today, Kato gumi suddenly realized that the seed had transford into a tall tree, reaching high.
Her fingers gently touched the cover of the book, as if touching the sturdy trunk of the tree inside her.
Her breath beca quicker and heavier.
Even she, at this mont, could not keep her composure!
