Gradually, Amamiya san’s attitude is softening.
In the beginning, she was a bit salty and often acted suspiciously. However, as a result of continuing to talk to her hard, …….
“G-good morning. You’re …… early again today.”
She started to greet me willingly, and she also started to make light chit-chat with me. Her growth is remarkable, isn’t it?
“Amamiya-san is also early. It must take girls a long time to get ready.”
Even though she’s not wearing makeup, it must take her longer than the boys. I don’t know what exactly is eating up your time, but as long as you’re not late, you can take all the time you want.
“You know, just to fix sleeping habits a little bit? The other girls are doing their best to put on makeup and stuff though.”
Well, “trying hard”. Well, I’m sure she is making an effort. ……
“It’s against school rules, though.”
“Yes, that’s right. …… Hahaha.”
She laughed weakly while giving a slurred reply. What? Is there something you think about?
“Well, as long as the teachers don’t go through with it, I don’t think you need to worry about it.”
As long as the makeup is not too thick, they will let it go through. When you go out in the world, you have to do it even if you don’t like it.
It’s a very old-fashioned school rule. Maybe there is a hierarchy between girls who wear makeup and those who don’t, or something like that. ……
“I think …… if they want to wear makeup, they can do it after school or on their days off. ……”
Whoa? It’s rare that you come up with your own opinions, huh? You’ve opened up a lot.
“I agree with you. You’re right.”
“I-Is that so?Hahaha.”
We’re getting to know each other better, but she’s not smiling like she used to. I’m sure it was a natural smile. I want to see it again, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
“Do you wear makeup or something, Amamiya-san?”
“Eh? umm ……”
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I don’t need to ask you.”
In this day and age, there is no such thing as a high school girl who does not wear makeup. I was stupid enough to ask that.
“…… I am a shady ugly girl anyway.”
…… Yeah? What?
“What’s wrong? Suddenly.”
Something really negative came out of it, but what’s the flow of things? I thought Amamiya-san had started to do some positive thinking recently, but it seems the darkness is still deep. Or did I just step on a land mine?
“Because there’s no way …… I’d ever wear makeup, right?”
Oh, you have a paranoid habit? I swear, I didn’t say anything like that.
“I didn’t say that though ……?’
“You did….you said some terrible things, didn’t you, Hatoyama kun?”
What do you mean? I don’t think I said anything terrible at all. What, did she mishear me?
“Of course you’re wearing makeup, ……I said that?”
“Really? To my ears, it sounded …… like you were saying …… ‘I bet you don’t wear makeup’…….”
Well, I’m glad we’ve broken the ice, but …… you’re still negative. I’m sure that’s too much to ask, isn’t it?
“No, no, no. I’m sorry if it sounded that way.”
“Ah no no. Can you lift your head?”
You’re so kind ……. she was hurt, even though it was a misunderstanding, but she easily forgave me.
“I was talking under the assumption that all girls wear makeup. I was prejudiced, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine. You’re not wrong. ……”
Am I not wrong? Applying makeup must take a lot of money and time
“But that’s beside the point. ……”
“……? umm?”
“I can’t ignore what you just said, Amamiya san”
Since this is a serious talk, I bring my face a little closer to hers. Amamiya-san reflexively turns her face away, but she does so more slowly than when we first started talking. It’s great that she seems to have gotten used to my way of closing the distance.
“C-Close …….”
“You just said you despised yourself, didn’t you? You called yourself shady …… and ugly …….”
“Because …… that’s right. ……”
I don’t like it. I really don’t like it. It is regrettable. The more you demean yourself, the more negative your thoughts become. If you don’t have self-confidence, you’re really going down the wrong road. If you think you are ugly, you will degenerate in that direction. You won’t even fix your sleeping habit.
“You’re not gloomy, you’re graceful. You’re graceful.”
“that’s ……”
“You’re a 2025 Japanese girl.”
“……”
She didn’t seem to be convinced at all. Do you think I’m just playing games?
“Amamiya-san is cute. She’s not ugly.”
“That’s …… not at all what I said. ……”
You’re so stubborn. I don’t know why you’re so down on yourself, but I’m not going to change my mind, okay? I will definitely make you admit it. I’m going to keep telling you until you realize you’re a beautiful girl.
“Go look in the mirror in the bathroom right now. You’re pretty. You have a pretty face.”
“I look in the mirror …… every morning. ……”
I don’t like it. she’s as low-strung as she was in the early days. It must be a sign that she has lost confidence.
“What’s wrong with you? What part don’t you like?”
“Eh, ……? The eyes, …….”
“You’re beautiful. You have a beautiful heart, and it shows in your eyes.”
“Well, …… ……not beautiful at all.”
You are as tough as ever. I’m not going to lose.
“Your nose is pretty, too. I would touch it if I were allowed.”
“Touch ……?!I-It’s dirty.”
“I’ll wash my hands before I touch it.”
“Not that way. ……”
What? You mean your nose is dirty? How much do you despise yourself? This is not good. ……
“Your ears, your mouth, your cheeks, they’re all cute. There’s nothing not cute about it. Your personality is cute, too.”
“S-stop it. ……”
As if she couldn’t stand my compliments anymore, she turned her head away. She stuck out her hands, but should I grab them? No, it’s definitely sexual harassment. Let’s be careful.
“Your hands are small and cute too.”
“Uhh!? you even compliments my hands. ……”
“Your hands are beautiful, and they look soft, unlike mine, which are male.”
I wonder what I would say. I don’t know if such a word exists, but should I describe them as not too bony?
“Well, it may be soft compared to …… boys, but ……”
“You can’t see many veins. My hands, you see.”
To prove that there is a difference in beauty, I showed the back of my hand. I didn’t think this would be sexual harassment.
“I don’t think the veins are …… good?”
“Really? I think they look prettier when you can’t see them.”
In the olden days, there were models who only photographed their hands, feet, and other parts of their bodies. Would they be gravure idols in a manner of speaking? No, I don’t think so. I don’t really care what it is, but I heard that when those people took pictures of their hands, they used ice water to retract the veins. That is to say, the veins are ugly.
“If you don’t mind, could you show me some more?”
“Yes, that’s fine. ……?”
“Thank you.”
I was puzzled, but she gave me permission, so I took a closer look at it. I’m not trying to sketch anything. I’m just looking for something to compliment her on to build her confidence.
“Your nails are beautiful.”
“….Do you think so?”
Sorry, I was just being polite. I should have thought a little more about what I was complimenting her on.
“You don’t even have finger hairs.”
“………………”
…… now that’s a definite out. What am I doing?
“You have long, white, slender fingers. I can imagine you playing the piano.”
“That’s a very …… unique way of complimenting someone. Piano, huh? ……”
It was a poor compliment, but I think I conveyed my sincerity. Good communication?
“Don’t you ever get manicures?”
“Ma, manicure ……? A girl like me ……?”
Are there people who are allowed to have manicures and those who are not? Fashion is really a very deep thing. Isn’t it just a matter of doing what you want to do? Isn’t that youth?
No, it must be just negative thinking. I have to get rid of it.
“You’ll look good in it. I guarantee it.”
I can’t take responsibility, but I can say it. Whatever the outcome, if I say, “It looks good on you,” then it’s all over.
“Thank you….. You really are a strange one, Hatoyama kun.”
And there it is. There’s that smile.
I’m not looking for anything in return for this activity, but just seeing that smile makes me feel rewarded. What is this feeling ……?
“Thank you for listening to me. thanks for the smile.”
“………… mouu”
I was completely turned away. Was that an unnecessary comment?
Oh well, this should have given her even more confidence. I don’t know when the next seat change is, but it looks like I’ll be there in plenty of time.
