Penguins are at all times cute.

Naturally, they’re unquestionably cute as we speak.

I might watch the penguins wandering round on the small castle-like buildings or swimming within the pool without end.

And but, Sendai-san by no means appears to be like on the penguins.

It was unusual.

Completely unusual.

She is mistaken.

One thing’s mistaken along with her.

「Sendai-san. Overlook the people, take an image of the penguins.」

I stare at her noisy telephone because it crunches.

The zoo shouldn’t be the place to take my image.

「I’m taking photos of the penguins, too.」

「Not penguins, “too,” “simply solely” the penguins.」

「You’re stingy, Miyagi.」

With that mentioned, Sendai-san takes one picture.

The telephone is of course going through me, and I can inform that I, not the penguins, was saved on her telephone.

I take off my gloves, pull my telephone out of my pocket, and level it at Sendai-san, who is consistently taking photos of me.

Tapping the shutter button, Sendai-san, holding her smartphone, was minimize from as we speak’s day and saved with a crisp sound.

「Miyagi, when you’re going to take photos, simply say you’re going to.」

「If I instructed you, you’ll look good, so I don’t need to.」

「It’s higher to look good, proper?」

「You don’t should drive your self to look good.」

「Not solely do I look good, however you didn’t even get my face proper in that image. Should you’re going to take an image, take a very good image.」

Sendai-san smirked at me as if interesting, “Come on, take an image.” So I arrange my telephone and took an image of the penguin, not Sendai-san.

「That’s the place you’re taking photos of me, not the penguins.」

I can hear her disgruntled voice, so I take a crisp image of Sendai-san, who shouldn’t be smiling.

「I need you to take an image of me trying good.」

「…I’d favor you to not look good.」

I’m involved about Sendai’s smile as we speak.

I’m tempted to complain to her that she goes out of her method to smile when she has come all the best way to the zoo.

「Why? Wouldn’t or not it’s higher to be within the image with a face that claims “enjoyable on the zoo”?」

「I believe the traditional is ok.」

「It’s regular to need to be photographed with a contented face as a result of it’s enjoyable.」

Sendai-san’s phrases are right, and I too know that she goes out of her method to smile in an effort to create a second of enjoyable. Nonetheless, I’m tempted to complain in regards to the smile made as a result of I’m not certain if she is having enjoyable from the underside of her coronary heart.

Immediately Sendai-san is extra like her at college.

That’s how I really feel.

As a highschool scholar, Sendai-san was amiable to everybody.

She was at all times smiling, even subsequent to Ibaraki-san, and spent her time with a face that mentioned she was having fun with her college life, however after college she was completely different. She was displaying me Sendai-san, which she by no means confirmed me at college.

What I need as we speak is the actual Sendai-san, not the made-up Sendai-san.

「That’s why, let me take some enjoyable photos of you, Miyagi.」

She says in a cheerful voice and holds up her telephone once more.

I don’t know what’s so attention-grabbing, however she tries to take photos solely of me, not animals.

At any price, she appears to be having enjoyable.

I hope that’s along with her emotions, but when not, don’t smile. If the zoo is boring, she ought to appear to be that.

「Like I mentioned earlier than, take the penguins, not me.」

Sendai-san is mine and she or he ought to see nobody however me, however not as we speak. We’re on the zoo and I need her to see the animals.

Moreover, I might by no means get used to having my image taken by her, along with her eye-catching look.

I’m the photographer and Sendai-san is the topic.

I’m certain that everybody would agree that we should always change roles, as Sendai-san is much extra photogenic than I’m. However she continues to decide on taking photos of me reasonably than having herself taken.

I’m not good at this.

The sound of the crackling sound that her telephone makes when Sendai-san factors it at me.

Nonetheless, as we speak I’m mature sufficient to be photographed.

I’m going to permit her to level her telephone at me as a result of she is coming to the zoo with me, which I don’t assume she likes animals.

「Miyagi, I’ll take an image of you with the penguins, so smile.」

I used to be compelled to do the inconceivable.

I attempt to smile not less than just a little, however it doesn’t work.

Sendai-san goes to just a little distance and calls me,「Miyagi.」

I had no selection however to have a look at Sendai-san on the opposite aspect of the telephone, and as an alternative of laughing, I set free a small breath, and on the identical time I heard a cracking sound.

「Sendai-san, did you get a shot of the penguins collectively?」

I ask earlier than she says once more, “Smile,” and Sendai-san comes again subsequent to me.

「I received the shot. Since we’re right here, why don’t we each take a shot?」

「Each?」

「I’ll attempt to embody penguins. Additionally, I’ll take plenty of photos of the shoebill and provides them to you, Miyagi. So, why don’t we two take some?」

I go searching.

The zoo is crowded, although not as crowded because the aquarium in the summertime, and there are numerous individuals taking photos. Along with households, there are a good quantity of people that appear to be right here with mates or lovers, and though many individuals are taking photos of themselves collectively, shoulder to shoulder, I don’t need to say it’s okay to be trustworthy.

The image of simply me and Sendai-san are completely different.

「You took loads of photos.」

「I didn’t take this picture with you, Miyagi.」

I have a look at the blue earrings on Sendai-san’s ears.

An indication that she’s mine.

It’s not a collar, however it serves as a reminder that she is mine.

Sendai-san, with these marks, appears to be like considerably like a furry Borzoi, and now she is me solely like a canine ready for her grasp’s directions. That’s an angle applicable and fascinating for the blue earrings, however as we speak I’m not searching for a submissive woman.

「…Should you take an image.」

There are a selection of issues I need to say, however I swallow all of it and go subsequent to her. As we put our shoulders collectively, Sendai-san took considered one of our photos with the in-camera of her telephone.

「I used to be capable of get an honest shot of the penguins in there, and do you need to go to the shoebill?」

「Let’s go.」

After a brief announcement, Sendai-san walks away with a smile just like the solar.

Unable to maneuver my legs, I clutch my blue scarf tightly. I used to be known as「Miyagi」after I see her strolling along with her again.

「Are you maybe drained?」

Turning round, Sendai-san calls out softly to me as I stand nonetheless, and comes again so far as I’ve gone.

「I’m superb.」

I reply in a small voice, take away my hand from the headband, and step ahead.

Proper, left, proper.

Sendai-san walks subsequent to me, transferring her toes slowly.

She is as type as ever.

The one factor Sendai-san gained’t quit is her part-time job, however she provides up most different issues to me and accepts my phrase. Immediately she goes round at my tempo the place I need to see her.

It’s pure for her to take action as a result of she was mine, however she will refuse if she doesn’t need to. If she wasn’t fascinated with animals, she will simply say she wasn’t, and she or he didn’t have to come back to the zoo.

And but, she obeys me and places me first.

I believe I’m terribly egocentric, however I don’t prefer it as we speak. I’m annoyed and anxious that Sendai-san is at all times involved about me. It has been bothering me since earlier than we got here right here.

「Miyagi, the shoebill.」

Sendai-san factors just a little forward.

On the tip of her finger, I see a chicken with lengthy legs and a big beak. I walked rapidly as much as the fence separating the shoebill from the individuals and pointed my telephone on the chicken, which seemed prefer it was in a sleeping behavior.

「…It’s transferring fairly nicely.」

Snap, she mumbles, taking an image.

I had a picture of shoebill as immobile birds, however they stroll slowly and catch fish within the pond.

Stunning.

「They’re trying higher than I anticipated.」

Sendai-san’s phrases have been the identical as what I felt, and I nodded「yeah.」

I take one other image.

The shoebill shouldn’t be a well-balanced animal, however it’s cute whether or not it’s transferring or stationary.

「Sendai-san.」

「What?」

「Are you watching the shoebill?」

I tuck my telephone into my coat pocket and shift my gaze from the large chicken to the one subsequent to me.

「I’m watching it.」

After I say this, Sendai-san factors her telephone at me.

Snap.

Quickly I heard a well-recognized sound and I tapped her on the shoulder.

「You’re taking photos of people once more. You’re imagined to take photos of the shoebill.」

「Okay, okay.」

Sendai-san responded in what can solely be described as a cursory method, after which pointed her telephone on the shoebill and commenced taking photos.

She obeys me maturely, and I nonetheless assume she is sort of a canine.

「Miyagi, did you might have enjoyable?」

Sendai-san asks as she turns towards the shoebill.

「Yeah.」

I’ve to alter my thoughts.

We must always get pleasure from it as a result of we are able to see the civet, not the picture or the video.

Immediately’s Sendai-san is the same old Sendai-san, nothing to be involved about. It’s higher to let it slide that she is her traditional self.

So I took my telephone out of my pocket and pointed it on the shoebill, not at Sendai-san.
