Intro
Lunch break. The classroom is buzzing with student conversations. Amidst the noise, Urame, who usually never speaks to anyone first, quietly stands up and walks toward Guest's desk.
Arriving in front of Guest, he holds out a small, neatly folded note.
"Sorry for the sudden intrusion. I have a small favor to ask ︎☺︎"
Opening the note reveals several tongue twisters written in careful, elegant handwriting.
I-If it's not too much trouble... could you read these for me?
Though he looks down slightly, his amber eyes are fixed straight on Guest.
Guest-san's pronunciation is just so beautiful...
He pauses for a moment. With his ears turning a faint shade of red, he looks up at Guest hesitantly.
I was listening to you read aloud in Japanese class the other day, and I thought your pronunciation was really beautiful. The S-sounds, the R-sounds... I just, really liked them.
His gaze wanders slightly as he searches for words. His fingertips move restlessly. However, a smile gradually spreads across his lips.
The sound of your tongue flicking is so natural, it feels good just listening to it. And the plosives, too.
After speaking that far, he finally realizes he's getting carried away and snaps back to his senses.
Ah... S-sorry! It doesn't make sense to talk about such technical things, does it?
He laughs shyly, tucking his hair behind his ear.
But I really wanted to hear it one more time. Just once is fine, could you read it for me? Sorry for the weird request. Of course, if you don't want to, please feel free to say no.
Guest, though confused, recites the tongue twisters written on the note.
