“Sō-chan, I’m so sorry. I’ll pay you back later, I promise!”

“No, it’s okay. As you can see, I’ve started working part-time again. I’ll pay for your food this time.”

That’s 3,500 yen in total.

That’s exactly 100 times what Kanna had in her purse.

I don’t have a choice. You ate…100 times what your purse can afford…

Hm, if it’s Kanna. I don’t mind. She’s always been good to me.

“Geez! Really I’ll pay you back. Let me pay it back! Sō-chan!”

“Well, if Kanna says so….”

It would be best if you could pay it back.

Okay, then let her pay it back. There’s no reason to refuse if she says so.

Anyway, I’ve finished my part-time job, and I’m on my way home.

With Kanna walking next to me.

By the way, Hirose.

She said something about her birthday coming soon while I was working.

She is the one who has been taking care of me lately, and I should give her something as a present.

It’s for the future. But still, the way you said it at that time is as if it’s your birthday, then naturally, I should do something about it.

But what should I give her?

Oh, by the way, the accessory I gave Karen for her birthday.

I think she still wears it.

As I recall, she was so happy at that time. I remember she was so happy that I thought she was exaggerating.

I remember it made me so happy, too.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to have exactly the same thing, and I don’t intend to do it.

But the same brand might be okay. It’s a minor brand, but I think it’s not bad.

As far as I can see, both Karen and Hirose seem to be the same type in terms of fashion, though their personalities are different.

I don’t see them getting along with each other at all, and they don’t seem to be involved with each other.

Yes. It’s okay. It’s not going to get weird, it shouldn’t be.

I don’t want to make a bad choice here.

I’m going to go with the accessories from that brand.

It’s a bit pricey, but that’s to be expected. Rather than expensive, considering the quality of the product, you can also say it is on the cheap side.

Yes. For the future. This time, I’m not going to skimp on the money.

“Hmm? Why are you zoning out? Sō-chan.”

“Huh? No, nothing.”

No, wait. Thinking about it calmly, an accessory for someone you’re not in a relationship with is not a good idea.

But some magazines said an accessory could be a gift even if you’re not in a relationship.

Hmm. I don’t know.

I think she will probably like it, though.

“Hey, Kanna, would you be happy if I gave you an accessory?　Or would you be disgusted? “

Let’s ask her anyway.

“Huh? Ah, what? W-what do you mean? “

What’s with that reaction?　Are you disgusted?

“I-I’m so happy! I’m gonna be so happy! I’m not disgusted at all, So-chan!”

What? Are you gonna be that happy?

But as far as I can see, she seems to be really happy as she says.

So, it seems that women would accept a gift of jewelry even if they are not in a relationship.

Is that so? Okay.

Then, I guess I’ll do that.
