Chapter 17 – It seems that JK Idol-san is interested in zoo (part 3)
A pale yellow high-collared blouse and a white flare skirt.
For the hairstyle, not the usual side tail, but a straight curl that gives a different impression.
"Alright!"
I put on thick-heeled boots and, finally, wear my usual fake glasses before leaving the house.

Sunday morning.
The zoo is a 20-minute walk from my house.
According to Aunt Michiko-san, a man should arrive one hour before the meeting time. Although the meeting time is 10 AM, I arrived at the front of the zoo before 9 AM.
"Today is sunny."
The weather today is very sunny, quite rare.
This kind of weather makes me feel as if the gods are supporting me.
Is Sakurazaki also loved by the gods?
Since I came about an hour early, I thought I would wait for Sakurazaki, but...
"Oh, Himahara-kun, good morning."
Sakurazaki has arrived earlier.
"Isn't it still an hour early?"
"I-I couldn't wait, so I came two hours early."
She smiled like a mischievous child.
Sakura sat on the bench, holding her phone with one hand, waiting for the park to open, and waiting for my arrival.
"Two hours..."
"It will open in about 30 minutes, so sit on this bench and wait, okay?"
"Alright."
I sat next to Sakurazaki, waiting for the zoo to open with her.
"Hey, do you think I look different today?"
"Ah, yeah... um..."
It seems she combined her characteristic yellow color with a calm appearance from top to bottom.
Her hairstyle is also very refreshing, it seems no one would immediately recognize her as Sakurazaki Nako just by looking at her once.
"Sakurazaki... You look really cute."
Still, I'm too shy to say that directly to her, and the embarrassment shows on my face.
"I-I'm happy, but I feel like crying again."
"Hey, please don't cry again."
"I-If you give me head pat, maybe I won't cry!"
"Huh?"
"D-Don't just stare, hurry up!"
Alright, at least today I will try to fulfill Sakurazaki's requests as much as possible.
I reach out to Sakurazaki's soft and shiny hair.
"Muuu... ehehe."
"Even though you haven't seen any animals yet, you look so satisfied."
"Just keep doing this for another 30 minutes."
It's kind of weird, but I keep stroking Sakurazaki's hair until the zoo opens.
