When I tried to give Chinatsu-chan so clothes as a gift to apologize for turning her into a dress-up doll, she refused with all her might.
You dont buy clothes for your friends! She said to firmly. She was right. I wouldnt even think of giving a gift to soone unless it was her.
.
Still, I saw that she liked so of the clothes she tried on and secretly bought them. The desire to see her in lovely clothes again grew.
Im sorry I dragged you around. You must be tired, right?
Im not tired. Im a very energetic person.
We looked around at various other stores.
I was having so much fun that I got carried away. The fact that we had to take a break at the end of the day was sothing I would like to improve on in the future.
I was currently sitting across from Chinatsu-chan at a coffee shop that was rumored to be popular with won. In order to have a proper date with Chinatsu-chan, I had chosen a place that was not likely to be entered by a man alone.
Is this the place you wanted to co to? I heard that it is difficult to enter unless you are with a girl.
Chinatsu-chan looked around. All the custors were won except . Just as I had expected.
Yes, yes. The chocolate brownies here are superb. I really want you to try them.
Really? Have you had them before, Sano-kun?
Yes, I have. I had them before when I ca here with my sister..Ah
Hmm. Youve been here with your sister before.
It wasnt hot but I was sweating profusely.
Chinatsu-chan took a sip of her cold drink and gave the biggest smile of the day.
I know I said its hard to enter here unless youre with a girl, but , if you have a sister, it should be fine.
No! Thats not it, Chinatsu-chan!
That made sound like I was a Sis-con. I went to all the trouble of getting my sister to go along with the preliminary check, even though she gave a disapproving look! I was so ready for the date with Chinatsu-chan because of this cafe! What an idiot I am! What an elentary mistake!
A-a long ti ago! Its just that I ca here once before! Now I only ca here with Chinatsu-chan, so please forgive !
Hey, Sano-kun! Youre talking too loud .
Chinatsu-chan tugged at my sleeve as I stood up unexpectedly. I reflected on the fact that I was in a hurry and raised my voice.
What? Shuraba?
Did that guy cheat on her?
Hes so young, but hes such a bastard.
HishoHisho
(T/N: Whispering sfx)
All around us were female custors. This dayti drama developnt was a good story.
.Im sorry,
I sat down, getting smaller. Embarrassed
I made Chinatsu-chan feel more embarrassed than I did. My stupidity! It was supposed to be the best day of my life since I got to go on a date with Chinatsu-chan.
The awkward ti ended when the chocolate brownie and iced coffee I ordered were placed on the table.
Its delicious.
This was her impression after taking a bite of the chocolate brownie. Perhaps it was an unintentional comnt on her part, as she held her mouth as if in shock.
Right? Its delicious, isnt it? You thought it was worth coming, didnt you?
Well, Un .Im glad I ca
Hearing those words, I inwardly cheered many tis.
A girl I like said to , Im glad I ca. What a joy this was! My depressed mood instantly rose to the top of the ceiling.
Dont stare at so much.
Youre so cute when youre eating, Chinatsu-chan, that my eyes are just drawn to you.
pervert.
Eh, Im not a pervert.
Im not a pervert, right?
Chinatsu-chan.
After finishing the cake, we chatted a bit and then I cut to the chase.
I really enjoyed hanging out with you today. I had a lot of fun.
Un. I had fun, too.
Her smiling face was still so cute. My chest felt incredibly tight.
So Ill say it again. I like you, Chinatsu-chan. If you dont mind, Id like to spend more ti with you in the future.
Sano-kun
A little bit happy. But with an apologetic look on her face, she opened her mouth.
Im sorry.
The mont she said it, my mind went blank.
But I could not lose my mind. As a man, I must look forward to the end.
I held back the tears in my eyes and listened to the rest of her words.
Im glad you feel that way, Sano-kun ,but I dont have the personality to be liked by anyone, and I might even say sothing that might hurt you.
Lacking confidence, her eyebrows drooped.
Originally, Chinatsu-chan was not a very confident girl.
Its not like shes been asking for advice until now. Although she often seed to have a harsh personality from the outside, she was always ashad of her words and actions when she was alone.
I didnt an to say that. I wish I could be more honest. I let slip a habitual remorseful remark.
So, I cant have that kind of relationship with Sano-kun because it would cause you trouble .
But even though she may say harsh things, Chinatsu-chan doesnt speak with malicious intent.
The sa went for her words to Osako. Chinatsu-chans words may have been harsh, but they were all words of concern for her sloppy childhood friend. I could only think that she was full of compassion.
It was almost unrewarding that it was her childhood friend who completely shattered her confidence in herself.
I would never consider it a nuisance.
Huh?
A very sensitive girl. Clumsy, honest, and very sweet.
I know the girl I fell in love with has that side of her, I know it.
Hey, Chinatsu-chan, Is it okay to think that it doesnt an that you dont like anymore?
Theres no way I hate you. There is no way I could hate Sano-kun, who is so kind to .
They were the words that gave hope.
Okay. I wont ask you to go out with right now.
But youll allow to attack you like this, right?
Eh, But
She was puzzled, thinking it was the end.
If you beco my lover, I might cause trouble for you. Lingering feelings for Osako. Loss of self-confidence. There were probably several reasons why Chinatsu-chan was unable to take the next step.
She couldnt just suddenly pretend that all of that didnt happen. There was no way she could do that. I thought I should respect her heart.
Think of it as convenient. Take your ti. You can put off your answer. Im just a convenient man for you, Chinatsu-chan.
T-Thats dishonest.
No, its not.
Who decided what the deadline was? If its okay with the person in question, its not dishonest.
For , it was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. On the contrary, it was an unexpected chance. It was human nature to want to treasure it.
Im going to put it on hold until I get a real answer. You want ti to calmly and slowly think about it, dont you, Chinatsu-chan?
Yes
Okay, Ive avoided a complete rejection for the ti being.
In addition, I also got a positive indication that I could continue to attack her in the future. Not a bad achievent.
Chinatsu-chan, red up to her ears, sipped her tea.
The quiet background music of the coffee shop and the sound of custors talking could be heard.
I spent a peaceful ti with Chinatsu-chan. That ti also made realize how much I loved her.
