Love Advice From A Childhood Friend

please stop lumping me in with ‘we’?

“What are you trying to be, a gentleman?”

“I didn’t tell you not to look at me with that erotic look.”

“…… So, did it sound like a girl’s voice?”

Honma peeked out from behind a pillar.

“Hello.”

Honma waved her hand adorably, and we replied with some random greetings like “Yo” and “Ui”.

The owner of the voice from earlier seemed to be Honma.

“I was going to join in, but I couldn’t because of the strange conversation between the two of you.”

Honma chuckled.

She also told me that I should wear a camisole or a tank top on top.

“Sorry about that, Honma.
Sugiuchi is a Scumuchi.”

“No, it’s alright.”

“I’m not okay! What the h**l is Scumuchi!”

“Scum-Sugiuchi.
In short, “Scumuchi.”

“I knew you’d say that!”

Honma sat down next to Sugiuchi, regardless of Sugiuchi howling.

“Honma, what are you doing here?”

“Well, I’m observing a club activity.
I was wondering which club I should join.
And then I saw you two walking in.”

“Oh, yeah, it’s that time of the year.”

Then, Uchinokura-san in her uniform on the court noticed me.
She then poked Hinagata and looked at me again, as if to encourage me to look at her.

“Wha-?!”

When Hinagata saw us, her complexion became so red that even from a distance we could see it, and she then quickly hid behind Uchinokura-san.

“Hinagata-senpai, she’s so cute~!”

“She’s the one who said she wanted me to come watch.”

“The uniform is embarrassing Hinaga-san, what a maiden you are….”

Deeply moved, Sugiuchi nodded.

One of the club members acting as a referee sounded the whistle and went to the center of the field with the ball in hand, and the players lined up.

Uchinokura-san, who seemed to be the ace of the team, and Hinagata, were also in the starting lineup.

Whistle. The whistle sounded, and the game began with a jump ball.

I wondered what club Honma was in when she was in junior high school, but I guess she was probably in the homecoming club.

And even though it’s during the …… club activity observation period, why would she bother coming to see it on her day off?

Sugiuchi was completely absorbed watching the game.
You could tell that there wasn’t going to be any accidental slip-ups.

Hinata had mentioned several times that Uchinokura-san seemed to be the ace, and the attack seemed to be centered around her.
Sure, it’s kind of cool.

“Ah, yes, senpai.
Is lunch ready yet?”

“Yeah.
I was thinking of stopping by a convenience store later…”

With a rustle, Honma took out something from her bag.

“Here, senpai.
If you’d like.”

She handed me a bag from the convenience store, and when I looked inside, I saw two rice balls from the convenience store.

“Ehh, a store-bought rice ball?”

Sugiuchi, who had peeked inside from the side, furrowed his brow.

“It’s not for you.”

“No, I know about …….”

Sugiuchi glanced at him and saw that Honma’s expression had hardened into a smile.

“It’s normal…”

With a sigh, Sugiuchi wrinkles his brow.

“‘If you haven’t eaten yet, Honma, let’s eat.”

“It’s fine, I-I’m alright!”

“Oh, Is that so?”

I took out a rice ball from the package and bit into it.

In the game, Hinagata steals a pass from the enemy and shoots a layup into an opponent’s basket.

“Whenever she’s playing sports, she becomes thirty percent more attractive.”

I agreed with Honma’s impression.

Hinagata, smiling and lightly clasping hands with his friends, seemed like a stranger to me.

“You too, senpai?”

“Eh?”

“I was watching the fall tournament.
I knew you were a great guy.”

“If you get injured and quit, you won’t have anything left, though.”

Honma shook her head when I got a little self-deprecating.

“I don’t think so.”

Hope so, I mumbled, and took another bite of the rice ball.
