Keiko was a bit dazed at first, but quickly remembered what she should be doing now.
With a burst of determination, she bowed her head and extended her hand, just as she had rehearsed many times, handing the envelope to Kamiyagawa.
"Kamiya-kun, I like you! I really, really like you! Please go out with me! This summer, I want to invite you to go to the beach with me. I, I bought a very sexy swimsuit..."
The more the girl spoke, the quieter her voice became due to shyness, and her hands trembled gently.
Kamiya listened silently until she finished, and he sighed softly before stretching out his hand and lightly pushing the envelope back to Keiko.
"Sorry, I can't accept. You're a good person, Mido-san, but you're not the type I'm into," Kamiya declined casually.
Although she had braced herself for a rejection, being refused upfront still left Keiko extremely dejected.
Disheartened, she let her hand holding the love letter droop down.
