Forever and Always, My Childhood Friend is the Cutest Girl in the World Chapter 17: My Innocent Daily Life with my Childhood Friends

Chapter 17: My Innocent Daily Life with my Childhood Friends Link to Original Chapter:  https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/17/ It was early summer when we were in the second grade. I'd come to know the girl in class beside mine, Rin Asakura. Everyday after school, we would walk to the library. I would practice writing novels and beside me, Rin would be reading manga. A little bit before the final going-home bell would ring, I would show Rin what I wrote that day. That was how we spent our days. With every passing day, I would come to understand Rin more and more.  "My way of speaking... it's a bad habit."  It was three days after we first met. A single scene pops up in my mind. Rin, expressionless as always, said that.  "My mom told me to always be polite to whoever I was talking to. So, I studied up on what exactly being polite was and discovered always speaking indirectly and using honorifics were both good ways."  And the result of her in...

I ask Rin that, who is across the table from me.  "Yep, it's all good. I've been craving teriyaki burgers for a while."  "Ah, you do love them."  Rin chews her burger with a big smile on her face. The way she's using both her hands to eat her burger, Rin looks like a chipmunk or something.  "Well, you're eating a teriyaki burger too!"  "Why wouldn't I? They're the best!"  "That's for sure."  Rin's pupils constrict, like she's remembering something from the past.  "Coming back here, it's really taking me back."  "I'm pretty sure the first restaurant we went to together was one of these."  "Yeah definitely."  Rin lon...

Eguu..."  "And what did I say about raising red flags before?"  The movie finishes screening and Rin is sniffling like a kid after getting a vaccine as we leave the theatre. I take a look at some of the other people leaving the theatre, and there are some people crying here and there, but Rin's crying is definitely the most prominent.  "That... hic.... that scene... was so unfair... uguu..."  "Hey, calm down. At least wipe up your tears."  Having said that, I hand Rin my handkerchief.  "Th-thanks... a lot."  Like a cat combing itself, Rin begins to wipe her eyes dry. However, those glittering sparkles of emotions don't stop flowing out.  ...Have I mentioned just how damn cute she is? I'm so sorry Rin, but your crying face is one of the Seven Wonders of the world. She's u...

Forever and Always, My Childhood Friend is the Cutest Girl in the World Chapter 14: Watching a Movie with my Childhood Friend

Chapter 14: Watching a Movie with my Childhood Friend Link to Original Chapter:   https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/14/ It's 10 AM on Saturday and Rin and I are on the train to the movie theatre in the neighbouring town.  "Today is finally happening!”  "You're making this more awkward then it needs to be, stop acting like a kid, it's gross."  "Well, this is way better than what I normally do on the weekend."  Rin is as prickly as ever. However, my eyes are drawn to her more than usual.  Firstly, she has a fashionable red beret on her head. She's cute.  Her white baggy sweater gives off such a gentle vibe. She's so cute.  Her brown skirt complements her white legs so well, and on her feet are white socks and a pair of loafers. She's so damn cute.  Despite Rin's prickly attitude, seeing her pull off those casual clothes so elegantly is pretty unexpected. Well, I guess you could say this gap is quite amazing! I...

Chapter 13: My Childhood Friend's Invitation  Link to Original Cha pter:   https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/13/ Rin and I are walking home from school. As we head to the nearest station from our school, I sense a change. Our physical distance is much shorter. This morning, there was about 15 cm between us, now only a fist can fit between us.  "Say Rin..."  "Oh no, the police are coming again to get you."  "Again, what the hell are you saying?"  Trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, Rin puts more distance between us.  "It's just your imagination, pure accident! You're thinking way too much, it's just like over analyzing one page of a book. Or how about if I accidentally give a 10000 yen note to someone. Are you going to make a big deal about that?"  "I can say that you sure are right now."  After scratching my cheeks, I decide to spit out the words I've been hesitating to say.  "...

Chapter 12: Hugging my Childhood Friend Link to Original Chapter:  https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5894gb/12/ "You're so not okay today."  It's lunchtime and we're in one of the multipurpose classrooms. After we finish eating our bento, Rin looks at me with a disapproving frown.  "You can detect that?"  "Of course, it's so obvious! You barely said any of your disgusting phrases, let alone talk at all!"  "Your only basis on my mood is how many gross statements I make?"  "Something wrong with that?"  Her jet black pupils are boring holes in me. Well, it's not like I can hide it from her anyways, might as well lay it out as it is.  "Hug."  "Ha... G?"  Rin cocks her head in confusion like a dog hearing its name for the first name.  "Is that a breed of dog?"  "You’re thinking of a pug."  I cut her short before it gets out of hand. I tell Rin about the ...
