The Friend Expert

The next day I asked the girl seated next to me, "Hi umm... Itomori right?" "Yes.", she answered as she was embarrassed.

Then I asked her, "Are you somehow nervous?" Then she was shocked and was embarrassed all the more.

'Oh no.' "Umm... don't push yourself too much when you talk to someone or somebody. Just breathe heavily and there.

If you feel like your having trouble breathing just write the word that you can't say and swallow it. Then breathe again and try to talk." I said as I tried to cheer her up.

Then she tries the technique I taught her on me. First she breathe heavily, then exhales, writes the words that she can't say, swallows it, and then breathes again.

"Umm... Ikishima?" 'She speaks bravely and then starts to talk properly. "Can you help me with something?" I replied, "Yeah. Sure. How can I help you? I'm always free to talk to."

"Umm... Can you help me make new friends?." What in the world did she said? Did she mean I'll help her make new friends? I need to reply quickly.

How about this... "Umm... the first thing that you should do is you have to know the true meaning of friendship. Next, you should know what are their true colors or their true identity. And finally, you must get the trust of that particular person or persons. Why don't you start with me?."

Thank God I almost died. "Umm... Can I ask a question if I may?." she then got to the part where she asks me if I have friends.

"Do you have friends? Even just one?" she said one of the dangerous questions.
