Its no big deal.

The dress on you looks cute." Kuze said, looking at the white shirt and the light blue skirt that she was wearing. She was carrying a bag, instead of a purse in most cases and her right hand had a watch. She was wearing a cap in such a hot weather.

I looked at him for some time. He is bold. "You really are a smooth talker, huh? Your face matches your tongue. No wonder why all the girls fall for you."

"Eh??" He started giggling. Other people would normally just say 'thank you' or 'that's not the case', but he was giggling for some odd reason. "These are the moves I learnt from the books you gave me."

I didn't know where I was going, but before I realised, I was following Kuze-kun. I was curious about where he was taking me. "Hey Kuze-kun, where are we going? This isn't the way to the bookstore though?"

"Eh? What are you talking about, it's this way though?" He looked confused and looked around.

"I see. You go go the 'that' bookstore." I tried to imagine the bookstore that was a bit far away from the train station. The one reason I don't go there is because of the crowds, but I guess I can make an exception to that today.

"Is something wrong? Am I going the wrong way?" He asked in concern.

"No no, there is two bookstores near so I was wondering which one you are going to, thats all."

"I see." He looked he was eager to ask something. "You don't go to that bookstore huh..."

"No, you can say it's about a 50-50 case for me. I go there when there is less crowds. It has a wider collection of books after all."

The bookstore in concern is inside the shopping mall nearby and it is a massive one. At first when I visited that place I almost got lost. Well, it was a half library and half bookstore in a way. It being in the mall also meant more traffic and more crowds and so I avoided the place most of the time. But sometimes I had to go there no matter what. Like today.

"Do you mind? That we are going there?"

I think I let him down a bit after he heard I don't go to that bookstore. I should be careful with my wordings a bit next time. "Absolutely not. I am excited for what new stuffs they have."

"Okay..."

I was supposed to be teaching him how to blind pick and read a book. But no matter how I look at it, it definitely doesn't look like it. I also realised something. This might be the last time I will ever talk with Kuze-kun again. The tutorial about blind picking and reading is like the last step to become a complete reader, and after that he can walk on is own in this path. Thinking about it now is making me sad.

"Are you okay, Miko-chan? You look kinda pale."

"I am okay. It's no big deal."
