Another Day in Jirou's Life
It was just another day like all others. School just ended and Jirou was on his way home. He passed a random shop, where they sell all kinds of sweets, and happened to take a quick look inside for a second. He kept walking.
After taking a few steps, he went back to look through the window. And what did he see? A new pocky flavour!
The boy hurried inside the shop to buy it. He took a few boxes and wanted to pay for it. He looked into his backpack for his wallet.
"Eh? Where is it?" He said. "I'm sure I brought it with me, today."
He started to stress. Where could it be? Why did he have to lose it today? After thoroughly searching his bag, he searched through his pockets and jacket. Still he couldn't find it.
He started to freak out.
"Is something wrong?" A worker asked.
Jirou looked up to see who was talking to him.
"I'm looking for my wallet." He then replied and continued to search for it.
"Your wallet? Did you lose it?"
"I think so."
Jirou looked at the worker again. And then saw a small boy behind him.
That boy looked very familiar. Jirou thought for a while and then remembered who it was.
He walked up to the boy.
"You're from Seigaku, right?"
The small boy looked up at him for a while, then looked away.
"You're that first-year regular, right?"
"…" The small boy tried to ignore Jirou.
"That's so cool! I just became regular in my third year!" Jirou started to get excited. And forgot about his wallet and pocky.
"…"
"You must be really good. You even beat Hiyoshi!"
"…"Ignoring Jirou became harder for the boy.
"Even though you're so small!"
"What do you want from me?" The small boy said in an irritated voice.
"Eh? What do I want?"
"That's what I'm asking." The small boy couldn't take it anymore.
Jirou tried to remember what was happening, before he talked to the small boy.
"Oh right!" He said. "Could you lent me some money?"
"No." The small boy said. Why would he lent money to some guy he hardly knows.
"Please?" Jirou tried again.
"No."
"Pretty please??"
"No."
"I need really need it!" Jirou started to sound desperate.
"…" The small boy wanted to refuse, but somehow was unable to say no.
"I'll pay you back! I promise!" Jirou kept trying.
The small boy got annoyed. Why did that guy need to act so desperate? He could just go home to get some money and come back later.
"Why don't you just go home, to get some?" The boy then asked.
"Eh? But the new pocky is a limited edition! What if it's sold out while I'm getting my money?"
"……Pocky?" The boy didn't understand. Why was he being so desperate about pocky?
"Yes! The new one! It looks so tasty!"
The little boy couldn't take it anymore. The orange haired guy was just unbelievable, for getting worked up about pocky. He took out his wallet.
"Here." The boy said and gave Jirou the money, hoping that Jirou would stop annoying him.
"Really?! Thank you!!" Jirou happily took the money and bought the pocky in a hurry.
"Oh right, what's you name?" Jirou then asked.
The boy looked at Jirou and decided to just answer the question.
"Echizen Ryoma."
"I'm Akutagawa Jirou. I promise that I'll pay back the next time I see you." After saying that, Jirou left the shop and went home.
