“Tsukasa chi! Don’t be nervous. Take it easy!”
“Oh, yeah. I’m sorry.’
“Don’t apologize. Hihi.”
I think a normal guy can’t help but be nervous. ……
Nana smiled devilishly and drank her strawberry latte.
Nana and strawberry latte is really a good combination.
Yuna has a caramel macchiato.
She seems to like sweets.
Yuna’s drinking a caramel macchiato is amazing. It looks like a painting.
The light reflected in the window accentuates the contours of her well-defined face, making me feel as if I were looking at a model in a photo studio.
While I was staring blankly, the waitress brought me what I had ordered.
“Here is a chocolate mint latte!”
The waiter put the green chocolate mint latte down in front of me and walked away.
“Gee, Tsukasa chi chocomint?”
“I didn’t know people really ate chocolate mints. ……”
The two girls blithely distort their faces.
“Well, I didn’t like it at first either, but my friend likes choco mint and it’s something he eats all the time, so I guess when I realized it, I started eating it too.”
Daishi, being an otaku, only orders chocolate mint, right?
I laugh and chew on my straw, and Yuna stares at me.
Is it so unusual to see me eating chocolate mint? ……
“Tsukasa-kun……”
“Hmm?”
“I want to try some too.”
“What?”
Yuna twists a little shyly and stares at the chocolate mint latte I drank.
“Oh, ah…… it’s okay.”
I offered my chocolate mint latte to Yuna as if it was flowing.
Yuna grabbed a cup of chocolate mint latte and put it on the straw with my saliva on it.
She puts her mouth on the straw with my saliva on it and drinks it.
“!!!!!!!”
My eyes rolled back in my head.
Nana looked at me meaningfully and lifted the corner of her mouth.
Yuna realized how bad her behavior was and hastily removed her lips from the straw. There was a long string of saliva, but all of it would eventually stick to the straw.
“I-I’m sorry. I put my mouth on it.”
“No, it’s okay.”
Yuna’s cheeks turn a little pink and her face contorts as she examines the taste.
Her face contorts.
“Ugh,……, it tastes like toothpaste,…….”
“Haha …… no need to force it.”
“……”
I rub the straw with my finger, and Nana opens her mouth.
“You don’t have to rub it really hard, do you? It’s a hassle, and there’s a lot of this stuff coming up.”
“…..”
I silently and shyly turned away and chugged the straw back in.
I was completely taken charge.
I don’t have the ability to take charge like a good looking guy at a blind date, and I’m not a good communicator.
Well, I guess it’s only natural to be treated in such a ridiculing way.
Let’s talk……
“Let’s see, Nana and Yuna are childhood friends, right? Do you two usually hang out together?”
Nana, with a cheerful expression on her face, answered first.
“Yes. We always play together.”
Yuna looked at Nana’s cheerful face and said with loose cheeks
“Nana is a very dear friend of mine. An important friend who knows me well …….”
‘Yu-yuna-chan,……, don’t be so shy! Haha!”
Nana is laughing deceitfully with ahaha, but there is no wavering in Yuna’s eyes.
There is no doubt.
I guess Nana is to Yuna what Yusei and Daishi are to me.
“I-I’m sorry about that. I feel like I interfered with your private time together.”
I said a little apologetically.
But
“No, it’s okay. Tsukasa-kun is fine. ……”
“……”
I was half happy and half confused by Yuna’s words, but Nana caught up with me.
“The two of us would have to deal with a lot of annoying men, and I’d rather have Tsukasa chun with us. I’d even rather ask you~”
“……, thank you very much. ……”
“In any case, it’s Yuna’s benefactor. Hihihihi.”
“No, no,……, it’s too dramatic to call me a benefactor.”
While I say this while brushing my hair back, Yuna suddenly brings her beautiful face close to mine and says while staring into my eyes.
“I’m in debt to you, Tsukasa-kun. I was really, really scared at the time and I was so scared that I couldn’t do anything. I was really, really scared, there was no one around me, and I was in despair, but Tsukasa-kun saved me. This is an undeniable fact, a truth that will not change even if the earth is destroyed.”
“……”
Her blue eyes caught mine, and she looked at me with a gaze that would not allow me to escape.
Her words were like machine gun fire, and her face was desperate for something to be said.
I felt a stirring in some part of my heart.
At the same time
I feel a tremendous sense of guilt swirling around me.
I was really, really, really scared, and there was no one around, and I was desperate.
I’m a coward, of course, because I’m a coward. ……
As I was looking somber, Nana asks me with a very serious face, not her usual devilish expression.
“Tsukasa chi.”
“W-What?”
“If Yuna-chan is in danger again, will you help her?”
I immediately answer her question.
“Yes, I will help her. I have to help.”
“Why do you have to help her?”
She looked at me as if she was testing me.
Yuna is one thing, however, Nana is a very sensitive girl.
She will realize immediately that I lied to her.
I don’t intend to lie in the first place.
She might be withdrawn, but I have no choice but to tell her.
“…I’ve been in pain for a long time.”
“Painful?”
“Yeah. I should have helped Yuna earlier. That Yuna had a hard time at that time because I didn’t do it right. ……”
I bite my lip and Yuna rolls her eyes at me.
“No! Tsukasa-kun did nothing wrong! You’re a high school student and you protected me from an adult man! Why do you suffer? You should be so proud of yourself!”
Yuna is puzzled and says comforting words to me with a look of resignation on her face.
“I’m such a guy to begin with. ……”
“”!!!!””
There was a pause of about five seconds.
“Sorry …… Tsukasa-kun, I’m going to the restroom for a minute.”
“Oh, Yuna chi! Let’s go together!”
“Eh?”
They suddenly stood up and headed for the restroom.
I don’t know if I said anything unnecessary.
Did I do it?
An indescribable feeling of uneasiness came over me.
