Chapter 16: First Name
——”Regret.”
It’s something everyone experiences at some point. You give in to a momentary surge of emotion, do something foolish, and then suffer unimaginable embarrassment later.
Huh? Who did such a thing?
“Ugoooooo!!”
——It was me. I was currently rolling on the floor with my face covered by my hands, screaming.
“It’s okay, Fumino-chan! You were cute… really… very… Yes, very…”
“Stop it! Please… just stop already!!”
My face was redder than a boiled octopus and felt hotter than the sun. This was only the second time in my life I felt this embarrassed.
“Even so, I’d like you to do that sometimes because it was so charming.”
“I’m never eating chocolate with alcohol again…”
I felt beyond embarrassment, completely immersed in a void, staring blankly at the ceiling.
“Hehe… hehe…”
Mayuki-chan seemed to be absentmindedly recalling what had just happened, drooling and laughing.
(I might have to stop her from telling the others about this… I absolutely must prevent that!!)
I stood up and quickly closed the distance to Mayuki-chan.
“Eh? Eh??”
I walked straight up, pressing her back against the wall. There, I slammed my left hand against the wall and placed my right index finger on her lips, just as I had done earlier.
“Don’t you dare say anything… If you do, there will be consequences…”
Despite my face feeling warm, I gave her a sharp look and said that.
“Hyaa… Hyaa…”
Mayuki-chan’s face was steaming like a train, and she sat down on the spot, looking utterly flustered.
Phew, one matter resolved. Wait, the words I hastily said earlier might not have seemed like a threat to Mayuki-chan, right?
Well, whatever.
“Anyway, it’s already this time. I’m going home. What about you, Mayuki-chan?”
“Uhe, uhehe…”
“This is no good. I’m leaving first…”
I decided to leave Mayuki-chan behind and head home. When I reached the shoe rack, Kaiho-san was standing there with a stern expression.
“Oh, Kaibou-san.”
“‘Oh, Kaibou-san’ is not enough! Why haven’t you been paying attention to me lately?!”
“Ah, ah…”
Come to think of it, I hadn’t seen Kaibou-san recently due to various reasons.
Kaibou-san’s red eyes were trembling, and her cheeks were puffed up, shaking slightly.
“I’m sorry. How about we go somewhere together next time? Okay?”
“Please don’t pinch my cheeks… And do you think just that will cheer me up?”
This might turn out to be a bit troublesome… What’s the right way to handle this?
“Well, let’s talk about it on the way back?”
“…Alright.”
Despite her sulky expression, we decided to go home together.
“Um…Kaibou-san?”
“Tsūn.”
“By the way, I heard there’s a new delicious crepe shop nearby!”
“Mm-mmm.”
“I get the ‘tsūn,’ but ‘mm-mmm’ means moon.”
“I understand that much!!”
I tried various ways to cheer her up, but she seemed unwilling to listen. When I asked how to cheer her up, she told me, “Please figure it out yourself!”
Good grief… What a cute little kitten (escaping reality).
As we continued walking, it was time to part ways with Kaibou-san.
“Um… Is your mood still…?”
“Tsūn… Draconic climate.”
“That’s the polar zone.”
She still wouldn’t cheer up until the very end… Well, I had been preparing for this, so I decided to use that.
“Ah… well, I’d be happy if you could cheer up by tomorrow—Shizuku.”
“—!?”
I called her by her first name and gently patted her head.
Yes, I hadn’t called Kaibou-san, or rather Shizuku, by her first name until now. There was no particular reason for this. Maybe it was because of her lady-like aura.
If this doesn’t cheer her up, then… I’ll do whatever I can within my power.
“Well then, Shizuku.”
As I was leaving, I whispered once more, this time in her ear, and left quickly.
After all, it was my first time doing something like that, and I was embarrassed too…
My red face wasn’t just from the setting sun.
“……”
After Yurizono left, Kaibou was frozen in place.
“Um… Is the young lady alright?”
“Nhaaahhh!!”
“O-Oh my lady!?”
One of the security officers approached and spoke to her, but she slumped to the ground, sitting there limply.
“That… that was over the top… How could anyone allow that…”
Kaibou, with a blissful expression, had her hands on her cheeks.
She looked so melted, it was hard to believe she was a young lady.
“M-Mi-mi…”
“W-What’s wrong, my lady?”
“My ears are pregnant…”
“W-What?! Th-This is a certain sign of red rice…”
“I don’t want red rice. I’ve had it before…”
“Ah, I see.”
Author’s Note:
It’s been a while since my last post!
I’ve been busy with a lot of things and I’ve neglected it!!
We are truly sorry!!
Oh, and the writing style has changed a bit from this time on, so I hope you’ll keep that in mind!
m(_ _)m
I wrote it thinking, “Yurizono-san is such a womanizer…”
But this time, I was very satisfied with the many embarrassed scenes of Yurizono-san. Thank you for the meal.
