Ogata Rizu Learning Objectives

　　Ogata udon shop.

　　"One portion of Onimiyaki Udon, one portion of Special Udon, and one portion of Hell Burial Udon!"

　　"Okay, please wait a moment, come right away!"

　　Rizu wiped the sweat off her forehead, and her petite body walked around the shop, making payments, collecting plates, and serving dishes alone.

　　It was 12 noon, when customers are heaviest. Even though she had an appointment in the afternoon, she couldn't stop at this time to prepare for her journey.

　　After serving three bowls of udon noodles to the guest's table, Rizu turned around and was about to go to the counter to get food when a slender figure suddenly passed by.

　　"You ordered Yomi Udon, Bakuzan Udon, and Hell Burial Udon~"

　　The blue haired girl walked between the tables and after serving the food, she smiled and waved at Rizu.

　　"Hi~ Ricchan, I'm here to help again!"

　　"Fumino…" Rizu asked doubtfully, "Why did you suddenly come to help?"

　　"Because I know your family must be the busiest right now! If you don't help, Ricchan will definitely be too busy. " Fumino wore an apron of the same style as her and said with a smile, "Come on quickly, let's go for a walk together after work!"

　　"…Hmm!" Rizu nodded vigorously.

　　△

　　For Rizu, Fumino has always been her best friend.

　　They've known each other since early middle school, suffering under the tutelage of the same educator, Kirisu Mafuyu.

　　Her past self, her self that didn't understand anything, couldn't catch up with Fumino no matter what...

　　But luckily, after Shinichi's appearance, even if it's just a little bit, Rizu can reveal a bit of the formula for "heart"!

　　She had already found a clear path, though there should be no way to become like Fumino, let alone whether she could catch up with her...

　　Use your own way to grow into a person who can understand and accept other people's ideas, and be accepted into the Psychology Department.

　　This is Ogata Rizu's learning goal!

　　"Ricchan, cheer up! We're almost at the shopping street!"

　　While running, Fumino turned to encourage Rizu.

　　Exceeding their expectations, they managed to exit the busy shop. Looking at the time it was already 12.50 pm.

　　The agreed time is 1 pm, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the udon shop to the shopping street.

　　It meant that the fate of the two of them who were too late was fated.

　　Fumino immediately called Shinichi to tell him that they had just left the shop and asked him to wait a moment.

Shinichi told them to take their time and not rush.

　　But even so, Rizu didn't want to keep the other party waiting.

　　The promise she made yesterday echoed in her ears. Even if there was a valid reason, it was no reason for him to be ten minutes late.

　　So she suggested to Fumino that to run, even if they were really late, she should prove that they were trying to catch up, rather than just accepting the fact of being late casually.

　　Otherwise, she would really feel sorry for Shinichi who had waited so long in such hot weather.

　　After Fumino found out what Rizu was thinking, even though she was wearing summer clothes as well as wedge sandals that weren't comfortable for running, she still ran with her.

　　After running for more than ten minutes, Rizu was sweaty, and her hands and feet were sore.

　　But Fumino just had a few sweats on her forehead and looked a lot more relaxed than her.

　　"I... I tried really hard..."

　　Rizu endured two different pains in her chest, and ran slowly without giving up.

　　Fumino glanced at Rizu's breasts which would tremble violently every time she ran, then looked at her slightly undulating breasts.

　　"I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous..."

　　While chanting, she turned around and raised her hands and waved happily.

　　"Ah, it's Asada-san~ hello!"

　　Hearing that name, Rizu raised her head, and looked at the youth who was leaning against a wall not far away, taking advantage of the bit of shelter to enjoy the coolness.

　　She quickened her pace, and dashed towards him with Fumino.

　　"Shinichi-san...Sorry, we're late...Uh!"

　　Fumino stopped very smoothly, Rizu because of her high inertia, even though she didn't plan to run again, she couldn't stop for a while, so she bumped into Shinichi.
