The Bizarre Life Of Tadano

Confidence Issues

Hito could have feel her joy, which is certainly a surprise for him, after all, he just called her 'cute' once, she's already this happy?

To be frank, he genuinely believe that she's cute, he wasn't kidding when he said that, even though his standard of 'beautiful' and 'cute' had been re-evaluated in the past few days.

So basically if he calls someone 'cute' they are automatically better looking than 90% of the world's population.

Though it was quite shocking to see such a cute girl have little confidence in her looks.

"D-do you really think so?" Saki muttered unsurely.

"Yes, confidence is what you need not makeup, your already beautiful the way you are." Hito heard her and replied with an encouraging smile.

With that Saki's blush deepen even further, no one called her 'beautiful' before, not even her mother as far as she could remember…

Let's not mention her father.

"T-thank you.."

"For what?" Hito asked while tilting his head.

For calling me beautiful, for giving me confidence.

Saki wanted to say that to him, but she couldn't as she thought it was too cheesy to say.

"N-nothing.." Saki shook her head with a smile.

"If you say so?" Hito didn't try to pry more and went to the cashier to pay for the mineral water he took from the fridge.

After he paid for the mineral water, he noticed Saki going to the counter with a magazine in hand.

Hito couldn't help but frown, however, Saki noticed it and quickly said. "I-it's the r-reason why I'm here in the first place, I decided to buy for it…for a different reason," Saki muttered the last part so that Hito couldn't hear them.

"I suppose you're right." Hito shrugged, it wasn't like he could stop her anyway, it was her decision.

Who was he to stop her?

After Saki finished paying for the magazine she bought, she suddenly started fidgeting around him.

Hito felt her nervousness and wondered the reason why she was nervous.

"U-umm…c-can I add you in Line?!" Realizing she shouted the last part, she immediately felt embarrassed.

It wasn't her intention, but she couldn't help it, she was nervous! Who knew asking for someone's contact is nerve-wracking?!

Hito didn't mind her shouting, he smiled as she mentioned adding him in Line, this was an opportunity to gain another friend!

There's no way, he'd decline!

"Sure."

Hearing his reply, Saki's face brighten, and quickly took out her phone and added Hito's Line account.

In the background, the cashier who was a woman in her thirties couldn't help but smile slyly at the 'drama' that was happening in front of her, she was enjoying this.

It was obvious to see the girl's interest in the boy, and it made her feel nostalgic with her own husband.

Ah..youth.

–

Hito made a 'friend' at least he thinks so, either way, he was smiling on his way back home, aside from his family he has 2 friends in Line now.

Nishimiya and Yoshida.

That's progress if you ask me.

He arrived at his family's house and said. "I'm home!"
