I let out a deep sigh, as the heavy rain poured down.

What I saw in front of me was a landscape with poor visibility and dark clouds that wouldn’t even let the light of day pass through.

It’s what we call a sudden downpour.

“This sucks…”

I, Kurose Ryuta, was in trouble. The morning weather forecast said there was only a 5% chance of rainfall, so I headed to school without taking an umbrella with me.

As a result, I was greeted by a bright light and a thunderous roar while I was on my way home from Homeroom.

I looked at the umbrella stand again, but there was not a single umbrella in it, and when I looked inside, there was only trace amounts of dust left.

(I don’t really want to catch a cold…)

It’s actually because I just caught a cold last week, and it hasn’t been long since my parents scolded me to take care of myself.

The test was coming up soon, and I would be in big trouble if I miss a class lecture at this point.

“Guess I’ll just wait until it stops…”

I felt bad about calling my parents and bothering them so I turned on my phone and looked at the weather radar, which said that it would be raining lightly in about an hour.

My hometown, Gifu Prefecture, was covered with a red mark indicating a heavy rainfall, but it would soon subside.

Believing that, I closed my phone, which was almost out of battery, and put it inside my pocket.

“…All right!”

Suddenly, I heard a loud voice, as if they had made up their own mind. A boy standing to my right seemed to have chosen to make a dash on his way home.

He ran through the rain while making splashing sounds, disappearing out of my sight.

Then the girl to my left seemed to have chosen to have her parents pick her up, and was on the phone with what sounded like her mother in a cheerful voice.

I know that eavesdropping was not a good idea, but what you hear is what you get, even if it isn’t on purpose.

By the time I realized it, the only students left in the doorway were me and one other girl. But that girl was…

(The “Silent Princess” was it..?)

In the right hand of this girl, Aikawa Mio, who was given a nickname that sounded like something out of a fairy tale, was holding a pink umbrella. Wait a minute… Why aren’t you leaving if you have an umbrella!? Do you even know how to use it!?

(Well, maybe she’s meeting up with someone…)

I was in a different class when I was a freshman, so I didn’t know about it, but I was surprised that the Silent Princess had a friend (or boyfriend?).

As her nickname implies, it was rumored that not a single teacher, let alone student, had ever seen her talk.

It is said that she only communicated with “un” and “uun” sounds(?) and a slight change in her expression, but she has never been seen opening her mouth…

And it was because of her beautiful appearance that the word “princess,” which seemed to have a low deviation score, had been adopted as her nickname.

She had straight peach colored hair that reached to her waist, and a tall height of about 170cm. Every part of her face was beautiful. Her facial features, such as the bridge of her nose and her lips are beautiful no matter where you look, and she had a well-defined face that looked like a doll.

It’s hard to see because of her long well-defined eyelashes, but she had clear blue eyes.

She’s probably half-Japanese because of her distinctive hair’s hue and unfamiliar eye color.

‘She doesn’t seem like a foreigner, so maybe she has some Russian blood mixed in her?’, I’ve heard that kind of talk from somewhere before.

Her legs are long and slender, and she had a slim figure like a model. Her milky-white, lightly pigmented skin had not a trace of roughness on it, so I could understand why she was called a princess. Also… It looks like she’s pretty big over there too. [TLN: hmph perv.]

(What the hell am I thinking!? I’m so disgusted with myself…)

If I had said this out loud, I would probably have been in the staff room by now. Because of this, I felt relieved that the Silent Princess didn’t have the ability to read other people’s minds.

It’s quite pitiful to be subjected to a man’s fantasy just because she has good looks. Well, I guess it’s unavoidable since she’s so popular.

“Ah~ I can’t wait for it to stop.”

Without hiding my complaints, I continued to take shelter from the rain, then I noticed something strange.

( Huh? She’s closer than before… wait, she’s walking towards me!?”)

At that moment, my heart skipped a beat and my body trembled because of the coldness from rain as well as fear from her coming closer.

I patted my chest, hoping it was just my imagination, and cleared my mind.

I don’t have any relations with Aikawa-san, and we are just classmates at best. Of course, I’ve never talked to her, so she’s no different than a stranger to me.

And I have no plans to get involved with her in the future either, or so I thought…

( She’s obviously looking at me…)

Aikawa-san, the Silent Princess, kept walking closer and closer to me, making footsteps sounds. Then, I turned to the front and pretended not to notice her.

I shut my eyes off, bit my mouth shut, and waited for the right moment. Gradually, I began to hear the footsteps more and more clearly.

In the midst of my anxiety, the distance between us finally became less than a meter. As I continued to face the front, feeling surprised that the lines that separated us with each other were now rapidly approaching… and suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

“…”

“Uhm, what is it?”

“…un”

With a voice that sounded a whisper, she handed me the pink umbrella that she held in her hand earlier.

Aikawa-san pointed at me with a blank expression and urged me to leave. I hurriedly rejected her suggestion by strongly waving my hand.

“It’s okay! I’m fine!”

It’ll be a problem for Aikawa-san, and I only just have to wait for one hour. I also don’t have the brazenness to say “Oh, I’ll take it” here, nor do I have the courage to do so.

“If I take the umbrella, will Aikawa-san be able to go home?

“…uun.”

“I think Aikawa-san should be the one to use it then, because someone is coming to pick me up.”

“…”

Even when I gently refused, her expression didn’t change a bit. She just presses the umbrella against me with a cold look on her face, as if she knows that I’m lying to her.

I was a little taken aback that I couldn’t speak a little, then I gently took the umbrella from her.

I just realized that no matter how many times I refused, it would be useless against her.

“I-I understand, then I’ll return this to you at school tomorrow…”

When I opened the umbrella, Aikawa-san stood in the empty space underneath it. I’m relatively tall, so I felt relieved that she was able to get in without hitting the umbrella, but…

“…mhm♪”

Why’s this girl sharing an umbrella with me as if it’s natural!? [TLN: because it’s her umbrella in the first place bro ._.]
