「Isn"t that great, Asakura-san? You got 100 points from Andou-kun.」
「Yes, I"m so happy!」
Thank G.o.d. With this, Asakura-san"s smile is—— (Andou)
「After all, I thought that I wouldn"t receive a "reward" from Andou-kun!」
「Ah……….」
S-s.h.i.tttttttt! That"s right! I have to give her a reward if she gets a 100 points! I completely forgot! I mean, if I hadn"t done anything, I wouldn"t have had to give her a reward! What the h.e.l.l was I doing?! d.a.m.n it……..If I didn"t give her 100 points——– "Aah~ how regrettable. It can"t be helped then, I"ll give you one more point to raise your points to 99"———and said that instead, I would have been safeeeeeeeeeee! (Andou)
「A-Andou-kun…….when you said 『Ah』, don"t tell me you…….」
「Eh, the "reward"…….Andou-kun, you don"t have it?」 *depressed*
T-this is bad! Cla.s.s Rep seems to have seen through my agitation and noticed that I didn"t prepare a "reward"! Moreover, Asakura-san, do you have to be that depressed over my non-existent reward?! (Andou)
「No no no! S-sure, I don"t have a "reward" for Asakura-san right now, but I"ll have it prepared right away!」
「What"s that supposed to mean, Andou-kun? If you don"t have it, you should have said so sooner.」
「Cla.s.s Rep, shut up! I am desperately trying to think right now! 」
「Andou-kun, I didn"t put that much expectations on the "reward" so it"s okay even if you don"t have it.」
「A-Asakura-san……」
Asakura-san! What a sweet girl you are! (Andou)
It"s a lie! Actually I reeeeally really wanted Andou-kun"s "reward! B-but…….in my heart, the words that Andou-kun said earlier was already a form of "reward" itself, sooooooo, I"ll forgive you this time! (Asakura)
……….But, that won"t cut it! I promised Asakura-san that I"ll give her a "reward" if she gets a 100 points. Moreover, since I acknowledged her full marks, I want to give Asakura-san a "reward" that will make her happy!
But, what kind of "reward" will she be delighted with……think, me! For example, if Asakura-san were to give me a "reward", I"d be happy with——-
A kiss on the cheeks!Reading our favorite light novels together.Your reward . is . me ♪What an idiot I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam! There"s no way Asakura-san will be happy with that! How can Asakura-san, the most beautiful girl in school, be happy with things like "a kiss on the cheek", "read light novel together" or "your present is me!" from a "loner" like me!
d.a.m.n it! If it comes to this—— (Andou)
「Asakura-san, I"m sorry! I haven"t prepared any "reward" that you would be happy with! 」
My last resort! Dogeza(1)! (Andou)
「Wait! A-Andou-kun! You don"t have to suddenly kneel. I"m fine even without a "reward". After all, this test with 100 marks from Andou-kun is already the best "reward" for me.」
「Asakura-san…..」
How kind of her……… that test which I"d marked isn"t even of any value, yet she regarded such a thing as her "reward"——- (Andou)
「Well, it"s from you that"s why she believes that……….Fufufu, Andou-kun! Being a very kind-hearted Cla.s.s Rep, I"ll give you a good suggestion!」
「A good suggestion…….?」
「Of course. Andou-kun, you couldn"t prepare a "reward" for Asakura-san because you didn"t know what would make her happy, did you?」
「Mhm」
「Then, isn"t it fine if you let Asakura-san choose the "reward" herself?」
「Hoo~…………」
「Eh, Cla.s.s Rep?」
「Andou-kun, think about it. In the first place, it was a mistake to consider that a "loner" like you would be able to choose a present that can make Asakura-san happy.」
「…………Totally.」
「Eeeeeeeeeeh, Andou-kun?!」
Don"t agree with her, Andou-kun! I"ll be happy with whatever "reward" you choose for me! (Asakura)
「So, since tomorrow is a holiday, how about the both of you go to town together, and whilst you"re walking about, if Asakura-san finds something she likes, just give it to her as a present.」
「Ooooo! That works, Cla.s.s Rep! Asakura-san, is that fine with you?」
「Eh? Ah, yes.」
「Then, Andou-kun. I think you should meet her in front of the train station.」
「Okay! What time?」
「Naturally 12 p.m., at lunch time!」
「I don"t get what you mean by "naturally", but, OK! 」
「Ummmm………..」
Andou-kun, that………isn"t that what you usually called a "date"?! Hou?! That means…….tomorrow I"m going on a date with Andou-kuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!! (Asakura)
