Forever and Always, My Childhood Friend is the Cutest Girl in the World Chapter 24: My Childhood Friend and her Charm

Chapter 24: My Childhood Friend and her Charm Link to Original Chapter:  https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/24/ It was around 3 months after I first met Rin.  "My eyes... they're definitely weird, aren't they?"  It was after school in the library, and I was writing as usual when I heard Rin say that. I had no idea why Rin had suddenly said that. From birth, Rin's eyes were always pointy, which was the reason for her signature sharp stare. Her shyness basically stemmed from the fact that she was teased for her eyes.  While at that time I didn't know, Rin was also bullied that day. Her classmates had said some mean stuff to her and that made her really depressed. Because I had no tact at all, I just said what was on my mind.  "I don't think it's strange at all."  Rin looked at me with round eyes as I continued.  "I think they're actually pretty cute!"  While I didn't know her situation at all then, I spo

It was about ten minutes ago when I just finished devoured and enjoyed every single bit of Rin's cooking. She suddenly opened her mouth.  "Wanna... come to my room?"  No it wasn't sudden... it was VERY sudden.  "Huh?"  My shock was equivalent to coming back to school the first day after summer vacation and realizing I forgot to do the summer homework.  "There isn't any special meaning to it, you hear me. I just thought that since you came here on the weekend, I'd humbly invite you to my room so we can talk some more. I'm like a goddess kindly offering you thi

Chapter 22: My Childhood Friend's Cooking and that Nostalgic Feeling Link to Original Chapter:  https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/22/ “Aaaaa, it looks so good!!!"  I'm at the living room dining table at Rin's house. Before my eyes is a plethora of wonderful dishes. I yell with joy, as I can't contain my happiness.  Simmering in the overflowing pots all over, I spot pork belly and cabbage, chive and eggs, thinly sliced daikon and most importantly, bamboo shoot with rice. All this homemade food is the textbook definition of fresh as steam begins to slowly rise from each pot. The steam diffuses through the air and the aroma hits my nose. The smell is doing wonders on my stomach as I can feel it start to rumble.  "Wow, this is like all my favorite foods in one."  "Well of course it is, I'm your childhood friend after all."  I can feel a hint of cockiness in Rin's voice as she's bragging. Anyways, something's been

Chapter 21: Visiting my Childhood Friend's Home Link to Original Chapter:  https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/21/ "Coming in."  It's Saturday and it's noon on the dot. As I open the door to the Asakura home, I think to myself that’s been several years since I was last here.  "Oh my, it's been so long."  Rin's mom, Kaoru-san, greets me as I enter. With a gentle expression on her face, she seems enveloped in a calm, but unbreakable atmosphere. She's quite the amazing mother. I'm pretty sure she was a kendo instructor once.  "Yep, it's been a while Kaoru-san."  "It really has. Last time I saw you was five years ago at least. You've grown so much and you became so handsome too."  Kaoru-san tells me that with affectionate eyes. The way she's speaking, it's like she's meeting a family member she hasn’t seen in a while.  "Haha, not at all. Meanwhile you haven't changed a sin

Forever and Always, My Childhood Friend is the Cutest Girl in the World Chapter 20: Our Telepathy

It's honestly pretty pitiful."  "No, it's different. There's bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots!"  “So now you're stuck yelling bamboo shoots, great. I'm sure they'll take pity on you too."  "Like I said, it's not what I mean."  Without missing a beat, I point at Rin's homemade bento. My index finger is pointing right at the glittering light brown brilliance laid on top of the rice.  "Bamboo shoot rice! I was craving some this morning!"  "Ah, that makes sense."  Rin seems to understand and nods her head. But she seems a bit more merry than usual. Rin's face looks like she's some housewife watching her husband build a Gundam set.  "This definitely has to be telepathy."

I finish uploading the new chapter and I take a sip of my black coffee.  "Good job Onii."  As always, Karen is stuffing her cheeks with honey toast as she gives me words of encouragement.  "Thanks Karen. Today's chapter had some very sweet developments, like pouring caramel right into your mouth."  "Is it just me, or if Onii doesn't write something sweet, he isn't satisfied?"  "HA! HA! HA! Writing sweet stories is my specialty! If my work doesn't have any sweetness, how can I be proud of it!?”  "Ah, pass the honey Onii."  "You really aren't interested, are you?"  As I pass the honey, Karen gives me a big warm smile, like that of the summer sun, as thanks

Forever and Always, My Childhood Friend is the Cutest Girl in the World Chapter 18: Teriyaki Burgers with my Childhood Friend

I became worried, so I stopped writing and left the library. I walked around school looking for Rin. Because I was still in elementary school, I didn't have a phone to contact Rin at all. That's why I searched all over the place, looking in every classroom. However, I still couldn't find her.  Before I knew it, I spent so much time searching for Rin. My legs were getting weary from walking too much. It was possible she could have taken the day off. Is she somewhere at school or is it possible she's already home?  Left to stew in my own depressing thoughts, I found myself entering an empty multi-purpose classroom. And there, I found Rin. A sense of relief washed over me, but that quickly turned to shock and
