Chapter 1

School Cafeteria

Takamiya Akane

(Erm, milk tea and…… bread, this should do I think)

Kuwakado Aoi

Ah, Akane-chan. It’s unusual for you to not bring a homemade lunchbox today.

Takamiya Akane

Kuwakado-senpai. Good afternoon. Actually I stayed up late reading a book last night, and overslept. That’s why I didn’t have time to make my lunchbox……

Kuwakado Aoi

So that’s how it is. When you concentrate, you just forget about the time, right? I often do that when I’m working on a new piece so I understand. Ah, that’s right. If you’d like, why don’t we eat lunch together somewhere?

Takamiya Akane

Sure. In that case, by all means.

School Garden

Takamiya Akane

――By the way, I was elected to be a member of the community activity. They want us to paint the wall at the shopping district on the appointed day.

Kuwakado Aoi

Eh, you too? Actually I was elected too. ――Hey, Akane-chan, if you don’t mind, do you want to paint together on that day? It’s been decided that participants need to work in pairs but―― it seems that we are free to choose our partner.

Takamiya Akane

Pairing up with senpai, is it? …… I’m happy for the invitation but, I’m not very good in arts…… If someone were to be your partner, then it should be someone from the art club or someone with better skills……

Kuwakado Aoi

That’s not true. I just thought that working with you will be fun. Whenever Akane-chan is around, whatever I do, it’ll be fun.

Takamiya Akane

Kuwakado-senpai……. If you put it that way, then it’d be happy to.

Chapter 2

Event Location

Takamiya Akane

Based on the description at the shopping district, this is our assigned section, right?

Kuwakado Aoi

Yup. Well then, let’s begin immediately.

Takamiya Akane

Yes. The piece’s theme wasn’t decided so we can draw as we like but what should we draw?

Kuwakado Aoi

Akane-chan. Hold on a bit, would you take a look at my sketchbook? Last night, I thought about what type of picture I should paint on the wall of the shopping district and thought of a few ideas. ――Here.

Takamiya Akane

Ah, I’ll be borrowing it. ――Wow, this is amazing……!

(There are many patterns of abstract painting and every painting has it’s own intensity, so beautiful……) It’s great to be able to get this much ideas in one night, as one would expect from you.

Kuwakado Aoi

Thank you. ――is what I would like to say but as I drew, the ideas didn’t always come smoothly. But this time, I got the special chance of working with you, right? When I thought of that, I looked forward to it and the ideas kept flowing in.

Takamiya Akane

(Senpai……. When he thinks about it that way, it makes me happy)

Kuwakado Aoi

So, is there any painting that you like?

Takamiya Akane

Well, let’s see……. All of them are very lovely but, I think that I will love to draw this picture.

Kuwakado Aoi

! This is…….

Chapter 3

Takamiya Akane

Kuwakado-senpai? You look surprised, what’s wrong……?

Kuwakado Aoi

Actually, the one you picked is the one that I think is the best idea. To think that our opinions match, I’m really happy. By chance, our art sense might be close to each other.

Takamiya Akane

(To be told by a senpai who won many art awards that 『our art sense are close』―― It’s an amazing feeling but…… Is it okay for me to be happy about it?)

Kuwakado Aoi

Since we’ve picked an image for the painting, we should get started soon.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Event Start

Takamiya Akane

(Kuwakado-senpai is painting with a vivid expression. Besides, as I thought, he’s skillful when he’s drawing…… I should work hard too so I don’t slow him downErm, how do I draw this part of senpai’s drawing……?)

Kuwakado Aoi

Akane-chan…… You’ve been looking at the sketchbook for a while now, don’t tell me, are you thinking of completing the painting according to the sketchbook?

Takamiya Akane

? Yes, I was…….

Kuwakado Aoi

The painting in the sketchbook is just an image so you don’t have to accurately remake it, it’s okay to draw more freely you know?

Takamiya Akane

But, you drew this painting with so much trouble……. I, don’t know arts very well so I thought that it’s best not to change the piece if I’m doing the painting…….

Chapter 4

Kuwakado Aoi

In my opinion, if you draw with the feeling of 『I should paint it like this』, it’s natural to feel uneasy. Besides, I’m finally able to work on a piece with you so I want you to have fun. I’ll be happy that way.

Takamiya Akane

(It’s certainly just as Kuwakado-senpai says……)

Thank you very much. I, I’ll try to draw more freely.
(He was probably having fun until just now. ......!? Kuwakado-senpai, is staring at me……?)
Er-, erm, is there something wrong, with my painting?

Kuwakado Aoi

Nothing. Drawing with a carefree touch, I think that is lovely. Just that, when Akane-chan was in a trance, you were sparkling and you looked really cute…… I was unconsciously charmed.

Takamiya Akane

(*Whimpers*, somehow it makes me shy when he puts it that way……)

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Kuwakado Aoi

It seems that our piece is gradually taking form.

Takamiya Akane

I think so too. ――Ah, I ran out of drinks……. I’ll, leave for a bit to go buy some. Senpai, do you need to buy any?

Kuwakado Aoi

I still have some left so I’m fine. Please be careful on the way.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Takamiya Akane

I’m sorry to keep you waiting, Kuwakado-senpa――*scream*!?

(My foot got caught in the sheet that’s laid out on the ground――)

Chapter 5

Takamiya Akane

Kyaaa……!

Kuwakado Aoi

Akane-chan……!? Are you okay? Are you injured?

Takamiya Akane

Ye-, yes. I’m fin――Ah!

(I hit the stepladder in the spur of the moment and the paint on top of the ladder fell on the painti――)
I-, I’m sorry! The painting is dirtied――Wh-, what to do……
(Ah…… Kuwakado-senpai is, stroking my head……?)

Kuwakado Aoi

――If it’s about the painting then don’t worry about it. Leaving that aside, I’m really glad that Akane-chan is not hurt.

Takamiya Akane

Bu-, but, we even managed to finish this much and because of me it’s ruined……

Kuwakado Aoi

It’s okay. Because a picture can be fixed as many times possible. Besides……―― yup. If we can skillfully make use of this red, we can make something even better…… That’s what my feeling is telling me.

Takamiya Akane

Something better, is it? What do you mean……?

Kuwakado Aoi

Wait just a minute. Let’s see――got it. First, we take this paint brush and blend in the paint to make a new colour, here……

Takamiya Akane

(Senpai is painting full of vigour――wow…… The traces of the red paint I spilled is now a painting of a big flower――it’s beautiful……)

Man

That guy, he’s amazing. His painting as well, it’s like an amateur that’s as good as a professional……

Takamiya Akane

(Ah…… I was unaware that so many people have gathered around but, it seems like senpai doesn’t notice. Such strong concentration……)

Chapter 6

Playground (Evening)

Takamiya Akane

(On the way back to school, I was invited by senpai to go to the park but―― it’s going to be dark soon…… Somehow the day passed by really quickly)

Kuwakado Aoi

Today was fun. I’m so glad I got to participate as a pair with Akane-chan.

Takamiya Akane

I also had a lot of fun. Besides, when the paint spilled I didn’t know what to do but thanks to you, it was saved. The part that got dirtied by the paint, I never knew it can be changed into such a lovely piece, as expected of senpai. It’s as if I was watching something magical happening.

Kuwakado Aoi

Thank you. But, the painting idea instantly flowed into my head, which I’m sure was because you were beside me. I don’t know why but when you’re around, painting ideas just keep coming, one after the other. Perhaps, it’s possible that you are my muse.

Takamiya Akane

Mu-, muse? I-, I’m not something that great……

Kuwakado Aoi

Of course, to me, Akane-chan is―― not just an existence to give me painting inspiration. When you’re by my side, with just that, I feel extremely blessed. I cannot look away from each and every facial expression you make――

still

Kuwakado Aoi

I want to touch you so much that I can’t help it. Like this――……

Takamiya Akane

(! No-, now, Kuwakado-senpai’s lips, met mine――)

Kuwakado Aoi

……The only time when I feel like this is when I’m with you. From now on, I wish that you’ll continue to stay by my side and show me your different expressions.
