"... Friend?"

He mumbled uncertainly, taken aback.

He had expected her to ask something else.

Anything but that.

Hashimoto Rie nodded. "Yes. Friends."

Lies.

He stared at her.

He imagined that it must have been a joke.
After all, people never approached him without wanting something he had.

But as he studied Rie's face, he knew right then that she was not lying.

His face morphed into slight confusion.

Hashimoto Rie laughed.

"The expression you have right now looks really amusing, you know," she chuckled.
"But I hope from this day on, we can talk more."

She reached out and took the umbrella from his outstretched hand.

It had still been in his grasp.


Then, she offered out her other hand in a handshake.

He didn't take it.

She beamed.

"It's nice to meet you... Ao-kun."
