Chapter 08 : Calling by first name

"Have you known each other for a long time?"

I thought for a moment to answer Akira's question.

Mizuno has been a soccer manager since I was in first grade, she said that he wanted to see Tokyo Sakura High School football not looked down upon by other schools.

Actually, people who join the football extracurricular just for fun but also those who really like it.

In recent years, Tokyo Sakura High School football has been in decline. They have not entered the national league for a long time. Even entering the Tokyo regional level has never been again.

"It's been a long time, I've known him. What's wrong with Akira? Why do you ask like that."

Akira narrowed his eyes, looking at me suspiciously.

"Again you suspect me Akira!?"

"I just asked Kamuto-kun. There is no need to be so emotional."

Akira moved both of his eyebrows, while eating the ramen.

"How can you not be emotional, your face is full of suspicion. I've known you for a long time!!"

"Why don't you just call by your first name,"

"What are you saying Akira!!"

I shouted very loudly while standing looking at Akira, my voice echoing throughout the school cafeteria.

Everyone looked at me, again I was embarrassed by Akira.

My temples give rise to an emotion-filled vein.

"But if Hashimoto-san wants to call my first name, it doesn't matter."

I immediately looked at Mizono, his face turned red while playing with his hair bangs.

I've never seen his facial expression like that, it's the first time I've seen him.

"No need for Mizuno, just a surname."

Akira, again and again played with both of his eyebrows.

Instead of the atmosphere being awkward like this, it didn't hurt me to try.

"I changed my mind, H-hana..."

Suddenly my heart was pounding very fast. This is the second time I've mentioned a girl's name.

"K-kamuto..."

I swallowed my saliva, not knowing between happy or sad. But in retrospect, Hana looked very happy when I called her first name.

But I don't want this to happen, I'm afraid that everyone who is extracurricular will think we're dating.

What's more, Hana is not my childhood friend, if she is my childhood friend it doesn't matter she calls me by my first name.

"But..."

"It seems like we don't need to call out the first name,"

After I said that, Hana immediately ran very fast.

"Chase him Kamuto, it's you!!"

"AHHHHHH"

Again I shouted. I immediately chased after Hana who was running very fast.

"Please pay for my Akira."

Hana's running was quite fast, we passed the school hallway. But these are all not my strengths. I could have chased him easily. But I want to see how far he lasts.

"Isn't that Hana Mizuno from the football manager, why is she running,"

"It's so beautiful, I feel like I want to be his girlfriend."

"Don't expect too much from all of you, his girlfriend is the one he loves."

I heard the male student say, your words are the fact that she is indeed very beautiful.

But tell me why he is running. What did my words offend him,

That is impossible.

After a long run I saw that Hana was starting to get tired, I immediately increased my speed.

I quickly grabbed his hand.

I saw his sad face.

"Stop Mizuno,"

Finally she obeyed my orders just now.

We were both in the school garden.

"Why are you running?"

"No, I just want to exercise in the afternoon, after all why are you chasing me."

"I felt that I did something bad to you, so I chased after very quickly. I don't want to make you sad. If there is a problem, tell me,"

Hearing my words just now, Hana blushed in embarrassment.

I was very surprised by the contents of her heart.

"Can I call you by your first name?"

Again she asked to call my first name, so I allowed him. I don't want to make my relationship with Hana awkward when it's extracurricular later.

"Alright you can call my first name, whenever you want,"

I smiled as I took my hand away from Hana hand.

"But, you also have to call my first name. Well."

Actually, I didn't want to, but Hana request was very sincere. So I'm going to call her first name today.

Hopefully this will not be a problem in the future.

"Oh yes Kamuto, don't you know nutritious food?"

"Huh?"

"I can bring it if you want,"

"No need Hana, I'll just look it up on the internet."

"But I'm sure you'll be happy with my food."

My curiosity grew when Hana wanted to bring me nutritious food. Actually I want to but if he does that. People will think we're dating.

I had to immediately reject his offer.

"Next time, Anna,"

She nodded sincerely.

School parks are usually used as a place for someone to guess their favorite partner.

Hana and I finally returned to our respective classes. Before entering the class, Akira chased after me.

He embraced me with a smile.

"What moment did you take earlier, Kamuto.

"Shut up. You don't help at all, what kind of friend are you, Akira. I'm very disappointed in you."

"Come on, don't be angry, aren't you happy to be called by your first name. What's more, she's your manager Kamuto. I'm so jealous,"

Akira seemed to want to cry. This is not a place to envy each other's friends.

"Where's your girlfriend Akira?"

"Don't worry, she's in the same class as your favorite manager Kamuto. So it's not difficult if you want to date your manager. Our girlfriend will be in the same class.

"Your mouth needs to be cleaned with lemon.

"I'll see you later, haha"

Akira laughed very loudly.

Currently Akira and I are in grades 2-3 while Hana and her girlfriend Akira, are in class 2-1 so you can say. We are only one class away.

"Oh yes, when do you want to buy clothes?"

"Later I'll line up okay, currently I don't have any money. My money is gone."

"How much did you rent that rental girlfriend Kamuto?"

"Sshhhht!!"

"Don't talk about this here, you are low Akira.

I just whispered my voice into Akira's ear. It can be dangerous if my classmates find out that I've hired a girlfriend from an app.

"I'm sorry Kamuto,"

Me and Akira ended up in my seat. I immediately told Akira how much it cost to rent a girlfriend from the app.

"Not expensive, only 5000 Yen."

"Oh my gosh. How expensive is it per hour?"

"That's right, 5000 Yen per hour."

Akira swallowed his saliva when she found out the price of the girlfriend I rented from the app.

"Alright Kamuto. We can postpone buying the clothes first. I understand your finances very well right now,"

"Akira, you're my best friend. You can understand my finances, right?"

"Of course Kamuto."

I am very happy. Because Akira didn't force me to buy clothes for a date later. What a friend I dream of.
