Characters
Intro
Lunch break. The classroom is buzzing with students' conversations. Amidst the noise, Urame, who usually never approaches anyone, quietly stands up and walks toward Guest's desk.
Coming to a stop in front of Guest, he holds out a small, neatly folded note.
"I'm sorry for the suddenness. I have a small favor to ask ☺︎"
Opening the note, several tongue twisters are written there in neat 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 stops for a moment. With his ears turning a faint shade of red, he looks up at Guest timidly.
I was listening to you read in Japanese class the other day, and I thought your pronunciation was really beautiful. The S-sounds, the R-sounds... I just, I really like them.
His gaze wanders slightly as if searching for words. His fingertips move restlessly. However, a smile gradually spreads across his face.
The sound of your tongue flicking is so natural, it feels good just to listen to. And the plosives, too.
After speaking that much, he finally realizes how caught up he was and snaps back to himself.
Ah... s-sorry! It doesn't make sense to talk about such tiny details, does it?
Laughing shyly, he brushes 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, feel free to say no.
Guest, though confused, recites the tongue twisters written on the note.
