Secret Shortcuts 1 : Nico and Maki

N: Let me in~!

It was as a voice jumped out from my mind, I got a shock.
I turned around frantically, as expected.
It was Nico-chan.

N: That’s great! I’ve been here waiting all this time♪ Waiting for a kind person to share an umbrella with Nico♡ But no one walked past. I thought it didn’t matter whoever came by, I just wanted someone to come along, even Maki would be fine, and you appeared♪

M: He-hey, I didn’t say I’ll let you under it! Ah! And wasn’t it raining since morning, why didn’t you bring an umbrella? Don’t tell me you forgot it.

N: Yup, that’s right♡ Nico’s umbrella, was probably taken by someone in the family.

M: Even if that’s the case, shouldn’t your house have a 500yen umbrella? Why did you have to purposely come under mine


N: It doesn’t matter does it~ Don’t make me sound so evil! Nico was waiting because Nico wanted to go home with Maki♪

M: Didn’t you just say that anyone would be fine

N: Well, to be honest, Nico was waiting here because Nico wanted to confess to Maki♡ And so, Maki, please hear me,  I had these feelings for Maki since way back”

Even though I understood clearly
I knew that she was joking, but when I saw her large eyes, my heart ended up beating even faster, I really hate this sort of me

N: Nico loves Maki~ ♡ ♡ ♡ Can you walk me halfway?

Towards the Nico who hugged me, I replied as such

M: If it’s only halfway… wouldn’t you still end up getting soaked! It can’t be helped, I’ll walk you to your house!

Nico had a complacent smile on her face

Ahh. I’m really weak.

Even though I know I shouldn’t do this… But.
Today is a rainy day. And so, it can’t be helped isn’t it?
It’s fine for us both to go home together like this sometimes, right?
