Chapter 4 - Height Difference: Filler Episode

Kouta's walking down the stairs, heading to the next class. Out of nowhere, Junko appeared behind him. "Hey Shiwamari-kun~" she said as she was waving. Kouta jumped out of shock.

"She- she appears randomly like a wild cat..." he thought to himself. "Hmm..." the girl stared at him with a gaze. He stuttered, "W- what... is there something on my face?" he asked with a nervous smile.

Junko then walks to his left. "Hey, did you grow taller?" she asked while comparing their heights. The boy was confused, "I don't think so..." he answered.

"Hey, how tall are you?" she asked with a curious tone, joined with a smile. ".. I'm 165 centimeters tall..." he answered nervously. Junko smiled, "Really, hmm? I'm 161 cm myself, we're not so far off right~" she spoke with a grin.

Kouta's trying to figure out what her game is, he is always getting teased by her. Though with the lack of social skills, he always stuttered. The girl then went back a few steps higher on the stairs. Her eye levels were that close to Kouta.

"Hey Shiwamari-kun, would you like to be taller than your current height?" she asked curiously while tapping his shoulders. "Well... when I'm an adult, then sure I'd love to be taller than now..." he answered with a soft tone.

Junko chuckled, "Hehe, I see... that is what we are all hoping for, though..." she stopped. She then turns Kouta's body facing her. The boy froze.

".. with the same height as this, it's easier to kiss you... right?" she said with a grin. Kouta's eyes are wide open, he's frozen like a block of ice. Junko then went back down the stairs, "Just joking!" she said as she's walking to the next class, leaving Kouta alone.

The boy's face suddenly turns red, he has no idea what just happened. "Eh?" he asked curiously with a blush on his face.

"Did she say kiss...?"
