“…What are you doing?”
It was raining, and she–Mahiru Shiina was seated on the park’s swing when Amane Fujimiya first spoke to her .
Amane had just begun living alone soon after starting his first year of high school . Living in the apartment to his right was an angel .
Of course, angel was a metaphor . Nevertheless, Mahiru Shiina was so pretty and cute, that the metaphor was not truly a joke .
Her flax-colored straight hair was well maintained, smooth and glossy, her clear white skin smooth and unblemished . She had a nice nose, a pair of large eyes beneath her long eyebrows, fine looking bright pink lips, and combining all these traits, she had a doll-like delicate beauty .
She was in Amane’s school, in the same year, and he often heard of what others said of her . Most said she was a girl of brains and brawn .
In fact, she had maintained first place in every exam they took, always acing during gym cla.s.ses . Amane knew few details about her as they were in different cla.s.ses, but if the rumors were true, she was a perfect superhuman .
She had no obvious flaws, had a nice face, outstanding grades, and was humble and obedient . It was no wonder she was popular .
Some boys would be utterly envious at the prospect of living next to such a pretty girl .
Despite that, Amane did not intend to do anything to her, and did not think he could do it .
Of course, he too felt the girl Mahiru Shiina was truly charming .
Sponsored ContentThey were simply neighbors however . Amane never had the chance to talk to her, and never intended to get involved with her .
If he did, he might garner the envy of the boys . Truth be told, if they could get along just by living next to each other, the boys infatuated with her would not have to suffer so .
And to add on, charm from the opposite gender was not the same as love . As far as Amane was concerned, Mahiru was a pretty girl most suited to be marveled from afar .
For that reason, Amane never had any expectation to get involved with her, let alone a sweet and sour relationship, and he was merely living next to her, never actually interacting with her .
So when he saw her s.p.a.cing out alone without an umbrella in the middle of the rain, “What is she doing?” He wondered, giving a doubtful look at her .
The rain was so heavy, everyone else had already ran home, yet here she was alone at the park between the school and the apartment, on the swing .
(What’s she doing in the rain?)
Dark, thick clouds covered the skies, and there was no light shining through, making the surroundings dim . The rain had lasted since morning, causing his visibility to be blurred . But the eye-catching flax-colored hair and uniform clearly identified Mahiru .
Amane did not understand why she was there without an umbrella, letting the rain soak her .
It appeared she was waiting for no one, and she was not resisting the fact that she was wet, merely staring listlessly in a certain direction .
Looking up, the face already lacking in color pigments looked pale .
If she was not careful, she could have caught a cold . Despite that, Mahiru sat there quietly .

She had no intention to return home, so it seemed she wanted to do so . Perhaps no bystander should voice their concern to her .
So he thought as he prepared to cross the park–but at the last moment, he saw her contorted teary-looking face, and scratched his head .
He had no motive to get involved with her at all .
But his conscience would be aching badly if he let someone be with such a pained look . That was all that mattered .
“…What are you doing?”
Amane spoke to her with an aloof voice, showing that he had no other intent . She shook her long hair, seemingly bogged down by the absorbed water, and looked towards him .
Her face remained pretty as usual .
Even though she was drenched by the rain, her glow remained undamped . The rain showcased her face like an ornament . A fine girl soaked in the rain, it seemed .
She looked towards him, her eyes widened .
At the very least, it seemed Mahiru knew Amane was her neighbor . They would meet occasionally in the morning after all .
But as she was being spoken to, approached by a person completely unrelated to her before, her caramel-colored eyes were a little wary .
“Fujimiysan . Is there anything you want from me?”

Ah, so she remembered my name, so he thought . At the same time, he could tell this wariness was impossible to relax .
They did meet before, but they were still strangers after all . It would be expected that she would be on guard after being spoken to .
She probably did not wish to interact much with someone of the opposite gender . Typically, there were boys of various years confessing to her, or approaching her, and she probably thought they had impure motives .
“Nothing much . Just that I’m concerned seeing you alone in the rain like this . ”
“I see . Thank you for your concern, but I do wish to remain here . Please leave me be . ”
The voice was neither shrill nor wary, and while gentle, her faint voice clearly showing her intent not to have anyone probe further .
(Well, guess that’s that . )
Clearly she was hiding something, and Amane had no intention to probe further into her insistent refusal for others to get involved .
Amane merely asked in the spur of the moment . Asking for the reason was merely a natural development, not that he was that concerned .
If she simply wanted to remain, he was fine with that .
Mahiru in turn might have been wondering, why would he be talking to her, or feeling something like that .
She stared at Amane skeptically with her fleeting, pretty face, “I see . ” so Amane answered .
If they continued talking, he would be hated, so perhaps it was time for him to retreat .
Luckily for him, whether she had a good impression of him or not, they did not have any relationship . Amane heartily made the decision to return home and leave her be .
However, he did not feel good about leaving a girl alone, soaked in the rain .
“You’ll catch a cold . Take the umbrella . You don’t have to return . ”
So at the very end, Amane was a busybody .
If she caught a cold, Amane could not sleep well . With such a thought, he handed the umbrella covering his head to her .
She received the umbrella, or rather, he shoved it to her . Before she could speak, he turned away .
He hastily left, and behind him, Mahiru called out .
But the voice was so soft, it was overwhelmed by the rain . He paid no mind, and quickly darted through the park .
He merely hoped that she would not catch a cold, and shoved the umbrella to her . Because of that, the guilt of wanting to ignore he was mitigated a little .
Since she refused to talk, Amane did not intend to get involved with her .
Since there was nothing going on between them, they would bid farewell .
That was what Amane thought back then as he hurried back home .
