“DISCREETLY, MY ASS! I saw you staring at me the whole day! Do you know how much it bothered me. I thought you wanted to take revenge on me or something!”

“But I was just trying to get a better look. I wasn't even looking at you”

“From my point of view, you were staring daggers at me“

But wait that doesn't make sense

”Hold up, why were you also staring at me during class? I put my bag on the other side of my desk. So there's no way you could have seen it from your place. You would have to come to my left side to see it. But you were still staring at me even then”

“That's because I wanted to buy it from you and was hesitating to approach you about it”

Buy it from me? To think the reason was that simple. Now I feel dumb for overcomplicating it

I jokingly said

“So you were too scared to talk to me. Well can't do anything since at that time we haven't-”

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

She got angry at me and shouted

“What are you taking about? From the moment you entered the class I knew you weren't a bad guy”

“How were you so confident about that? Not judging based on my appearance his one thing. But were you so sure that I wasn't a bad person without even talking to me?”

“Didn't I just say that?”

“Huh?”

She pointed at the key chain and said

“Because of your keychain”

My keychain? This small black cat with blue eyes changed her mind?

She then proudly said as if it was a universal law

“There's no way a person who likes KuroNeko can be a bad guy”

…………………..WHAT!

SHE TRUSTED ME BECAUSE OF A KEYCHAIN!?

Low! Way too low! The bar for getting a good image in her mind is way to low. I thought she wouldn't trust others that easily but to think she would be swayed by a mere plastic cat

I put my hand and my forehead and sighed

I don't know if this girl is innocent or just plain stupid. I need to straighten her out before she enters the dangerous and cruel world called society

She looked a little concerned about and said

“What? Why are you looking down like that? You don't have to worry about me asking you for it. After seeing how much of a fan you are, I don't think I can ask you to sell it to me. I'll have to respect your feelings on this one“

She looked like she was pouting over the keychain

”But it sucks that I got to see one in real life and couldn't get it. If I had that keychain my collection would’ve been complete. I guess I'll have to keep on searching fo-”

“You can have it”

“Yeah I know. You can't possibly give something so precious to-”

She suddenly stopped talking and looked at me as if I said something weird

“What did you just say?”

I removed the keychain from the phone, took her hand and placed the keychain on her palm and told

“You can have it”

She was so shocked her mouth was left wide open
