3 YEARS AGO, AUGUST 15th.
Maijima City
It was a very sunny Wednesday. The weather report also said that that day would be the hottest day in the summer season on that year. However, this heat didn't make Ayukawa Tenri stopped smiling all day long on her seat. That is to be expected. She just couldn't wait for the upcoming event that she will spend with her childhood friends, Elsie and Haqua, and her crush, Katsuragi Keima, who is also her childhood friend.
This unusual expression of Tenri has attracted her friends' attention at her school. Maybe it was due-to Tenri's–usually-timid-face suddenly changed today. One of her classmate, Asama Ryou, suddenly sat in front of her seat and asked the girl with twin-braids, "Tenri-san, is something good happen to you? You looked unusually cheerful!"
Getting asked by a blonde good-looking boy that would make any girls would fallen into tears of happiness just by making conversation with him didn't make Tenri back from her dazing off.
"Ahem. I get it, I get it."
"Eh? You what?" Tenri finally entered the real world but she could not hear Ryou's line very well.
"Aah. It's Katsuragi-kun!" He said as he looked down to the school yard.
"KYAH! Where?"
"Hahaha, got you!" Ryou said cheerfully.
"Ho… How mean, Ryou-kun…"
"Now, now, Tenri-san. Tell me what happened, would you?" He asked gently, giving the girl a glance with an alluring smile.
Ryou is not just a classmate for Tenri. He is one of her closest friends at her school. Being timid and all has made Tenri didn't have many friends, but Ryou didn't care about her character since Tenri was his first friend during the freshmen year. Tenri and him frequently listen to each other's problems and then find a way to solve them together.
"Well…"
"…nothing special", Tenri blushed.
"OI! That's definitely a lie! Come on, tell me!" Ryou insisted.
"It… It's just… Keima-kun and I are going to swim together."
"WHAT!? SO YOU TWO ARE GOING ON A DATE?"
"Ssssshhh! Ryou-kun is too loud!"
"Sorry! I was shocked!"
Tenri sighed and talked more softly, "We are not dating… Keima-kun and I…" She shut her eyes tightly, then smiled warmly, "…yet"
"OO! You sounded more like it now!"
"So… what's your plan, Tenri-san? Since it will be just the two of you, you must not let it go!" Ryou patted the girl's left shoulder.
"No… It won't be just the two of us… His sister and childhood friend will also come. Well, it was originally their plan. I was just invited to liven up the group…"
"Hm… That's awful. Katsuragi-kun shouldn't ask his sister and girlfriend to accompany you and him."
"G… Girlfriend…?"
"You are the one who is awful, Ryou. She was clearly saying 'childhood friend' and she definitely will not addressing her as 'girlfriend' since Tenri loves him real bad. Duh, you are such a klutz!"
"Nora-san!?"
"Nora-san, good afternoon…"
Nora Floriann Leori. A hot silver-haired latina who went abroad to Japan due-to her parents' work. At her first time arriving at school, she, just like any other foreigner students, found it difficult to blend into a brand new unknown society. However, she met Tenri and Ryou and eventually made friends with them. The duo were the one who taught Nora advanced Japanese too. After that, the three of them often spending time together. The chemistry worked out quite well because even though Tenri is an all-quiet timid girl, Nora and Ryou can chit-chat and making fun of each other naturally like a pro comedian.
"Good afternoon, Tenri."
"I invited you two to eat lunch together at the rooftop, but it seemed like you bunch don't read my messages, so I wandered here only to find that the recipients whom I sent messages to are busy listening to each other's problem!" Nora took a deep breath as soon as she finished her long dialog.
"I'm sorry, Nora-san. I turned my phone into silent mode because our teacher before this period is quite strict."
"Me too, Nora-san… It will be troublesome if one of my women suddenly called me during cla..."
"What woman?" The tan-skinned girl threw a deadly glare towards Ryou.
"Uh… You know… " The high-hearted Ryou looked like a shy little boy now. A very different attitude than before Nora came.
"He's always been like this… It's a pity for Nora-san because Ryou-kun never noticed her special feeling towards him…" Tenri said in her thought.
"Well, I guess men are always like this. Fufufu", she giggled.
"Now, let's eat, let's eat!" Nora quickly dragged Ryou and Tenri to the hallway.
"Wait, Nora-san. I left my lunchbox in my bag!"
"You really are a slowpoke! Look! Even Tenri brought it with her!" Nora-san said as she pointed at Tenri who is bringing her lunchbox on her hand.
"Eh? Since when!?"
"Well, I have a pair of quick hands…" the decent magician replied.
"I guess you will just have to watch us eat then, Ryou! Hahahaha!"
"You are enjoying this, aren't you Nora-san… Geez"
The trio finally arrived at the rooftop and sat at the corner of it. The rooftop of their school is a silent place, but it is also refreshing to just sit there under the clear blue sky and enjoy the summer wind's breeze.
"Aaah… I'm hungry…"
"Shut up, Ryou."
"I'm hungry, I could be dead anytime now…"
"…"
"Pretty please…?"
"… fine…"
"I will share you my chocolate…"
"Eh? You still got a chocolate? Daaaamn-no wonder her boobs are immensely huge..."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?
"Nothing!"
Nora opened the chocolate's cover and then put it in her mouth.
"NORA-SAAAN!"
"You said you are going to share it! You liar! Liaar!"
"I meant it…" Nora said as push out half of the chocolate bar with her tongue and hold it with her lips.
This of course made Tenri shocked and choked since she was drinking orange juice when Nora did that. "Nora-san is so daring… I wish I could be a little like her..."
"Nora… san…"
"Aaah, could this be…?" Tenri can't hold her smile due-to the romantic aura around her friends.
"That's actually disgusti… UAGH!"
"Hmph! I really regret what I've just done!"
*munch munch*
"AAH MY CHOCOLATE!"
Nora swallowed whole the chocolate and then swearing at Ryou, "You are better die! Hmp!"
"Hahaha"
"Don't just laugh there, little girl!"
"Now, now, tell me, Tenri. What are you planning for your date?"
"Yeah, we were about to discuss about it when Nora-san suddenly came out of nowhere!"
Nora glanced at Ryou, making him took a step back. It looked like Ryou has not learned his lesson yet even after the silver haired girl punched his empty hungry stomach just now. That boy really deserved being called a 'klutz'.
"Well, I've told Ryou-kun that it will not be a date."
"Hmm… Yeah, I heard that part…" Nora folded her hands.
"Weeeeell… There's only one thing I can offer you." She added.
"What Nora-san?"
"We, Jesse and James** will help you save the day!"
"W... What do you mean, Nora-san?"
"What? You don't get it? I mean, Ryou and I will join the party to distract Katsuragi-kun's sister and his childhood friend!" Nora said confidently.
Tenri couldn't do anything but to hear Nora's plan for the upcoming event with Keima, Elsie, and Haqua. She was against it at first, denying it with all her might, but at the end, Nora finally succeed to convince the with twin-big-ribbon. So, just like that, the trio ended their lunch break period and then went back to their respective classes. For every of her steps, Tenri felt joy and again, could not stop smiling for the rest of the school time. She was trying her best to wait patiently until the day come.
And that day was unexpectedly come faster than what Tenri thought...
- Tsu du ku!
