Rainy Tanabata [Ao-Bura Literature Club]

"Kitakata! You've been at the entrance for a while now, are you waiting for someone?"
"Takami-san. No, I'm not really waiting for anyone..."

"Could it be that you forgot your umbrella, even though it's the rainy season?"
"Yeah... that's right."

"Here. I'm returning the umbrella I borrowed the other day."
"Thanks. You saved me."

"See you."
"Bye-bye. Wait? Aren't you going home, Takami-san?"

"I brought Kitakata's umbrella, but I forgot my own."
"Even though it's the rainy season?"

"Oh boy, oh boy."
"Want to walk home together?"

"Is that okay? Thanks. We'll be sharing an umbrella."
"N-no, that's not it. It's just that we happen to be going the same way."

"I see, I see. I'm glad we happen to be going the same way."
"Well then, let's go."

...

"Today is Tanabata, isn't it?"
"It's raining even though it's Tanabata."

"That's true. Orihime and Hikoboshi can't meet. I feel bad about that."
"Feel bad?"

"No, it's nothing."
"I feel like it rains every year."

"What did you write on your tanzaku, Kitakata?"
"I wrote, 'I hope I pass my entrance exam.'"

"I see, I see."
"What about you, Takami-san?"

"As for me... it's a secret!"
"That's unfair. I told you mine."

"Because my wish has already come true."
"So Takami-san's wish came true. That's good to hear."

"Your shoulder is getting wet, Kitakata."
"It's a folding umbrella, so maybe it's because it's small."

"I see, I see. Thank you, Kitakata."
"What are you thanking me for?"

(The End)

I am participating in Akira Yamane's project.
I submitted a short-short story based on "Teasing Master Takagi-san" for the theme "Rainy Tanabata."
