Needy man and March wind

第1話

　On this day, the soft sunlight of early spring dyed the world white. I was walking along a path of beautiful cherry blossoms along the magnificent moat road surrounding the old castle, and a wide passage that continued to the end. Benches are set at regular intervals along the road, and everyone can enjoy a moment of peace there.

I decided to sit down on one of them and wait for him. It is a little more until the cherry blossoms bloom.

It was still chilly, so there was little traffic and it was very quiet. Each time the wind blew, the round swelling buds of the cherry blossoms swayed, making it seem as if they couldn't wait for the flowers to blossom. Such a gentle scenery was spreading so that my nervous heart could be gently unraveled.

However, contrary to that, the still cold March breeze fluttered the hem of my skirt, and the thin feet of pumps and unreliable feet called pumps.

"It was too early......"

I whispered while rubbing my arms and watching the clock. My upper body also looked chilly with a light blue knit and a cotton gabardine trench coat.

Although it was getting a bit warmer, it was still a bit early to get dressed for spring.

I meet him today for the first time in a month. Of course, wearing the "O necklace" I got from him.

He came just five minutes before the promised time. Walk gracefully towards here. Look at him. It looks cool today...... He noticed me and raised his right hand lightly.

Seeing him,I blush a little. He wears dark navy loose alan knits and slim brown pants.

Although the knit seemed warm and wrapped around his body, I knew that inside it was his trained muscular body.

He had a black wool coat and a small bag in his hand and sat down next to me and said,

"After a long time, how are you?"

I'm a little nervous about the conversation that looking at each other's eyes

"Yeah, how was it? Fukui?"

He had been on a business trip to Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture during the past month because of his work.

"It was a good place. The food is good and the people are kind. And this's souvenirs for you."

I handed the bag he was carrying to me. I wonder what it is? With that in mind, I took the cleanly wrapped box out of the bag. Due to the size of the box, this time it seems to be no ring or accessory.I had a little strange present from him so I opened it with little hope and anxiety. There was a pair of glasses inside.

His souvenir was the glasses he ordered for me. Sabae City seems to manufacture glasses.

"......"

I lost my words. I have never heard of a person presenting glasses to a person other than Dr. Agasa who gave criminal pursuit glasses to Conan.

Basically, we buy glasses by ourrself. Moreover, I don't usually wear glasses.

"What's this?"

When I asked him, he said as a matter of course.

"The glasses that make Yui happy"

I sighed deep.

"You know I don't usually wear glasses,

why?"

"I thought it would look good on Yui. The moment I saw it, I thought it was like this.

And now it's common to wear Date glasses. It's always UV light all year. It ’s good for your eyes. ”

He leaned a little, put his elbows on his knees, and folded his hands. Then look into my face diagonally from below.

"…You don’t like it?"

He is not bad at all. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy watching my reaction. Childish, mischievous eyes were glimpsed through his long bangs. His pigmented light-brown hair glowed through the sun."
