“…………? …………?”
“Y-Yukito kun?”
Eh?
Huh?
Hm?
Oh?
What?
Wait, wait. Let’s put the situation into perspective. What happened and how did it happen?
While I was working part-time, my idol (in disguise) came to me and whispered, [Come to my house.]
What on earth is going on? I thought, but I wanna ask her. W-wait, wait. I must’ve misheard her.
“I’m sorry. My ears were going a little crazy, so I want you to say it one more time.”
“O-one more time? One more time, huh.”
“God. Forgive me.”
“Why did you suddenly start begging God for forgiveness……?”
I misheard my idol’s words and altered them to suit me.
And please forgive me for thinking that my most beloved idol was so cute when she looked embarrassed.
“A-anyway, I understand. Don’t miss it next time, okay? I’ll get angry if you do.”
“I really wanna see Kusunoki get angry, but I’ll hold back.”
Okay, this time I won’t miss it. Or rather, what was she trying to say?
“……C-come to my house.”
“…………Sorry. I’m going to an otorhinolaryngologist.”
“W-why? I-I’m sure I’m lowering my voice now.”
“No, I can hear you. It sounded like you were asking me to go home with you.”
“T-that’s what I’m saying.”
“Eh?”
Kusunoki affirmed what I said, thinking that I would probably be taken aback.
“…I-if Yukito kun doesn’t have anything to do. Come to my house.”
“Ng,…….”
What a cute creature. She’s asking me to come to her house.
……Snap out of it.
“Erm, what do—-“
“Yukito kun, you’ve got a lot of time to chat while working.”
“Ah.”
I didn’t notice that the manager was coming from behind me. Kusunoki hurriedly bows.
“I-I’m sorry. I was the one who bothered him.”
“……Well, it’s all right. I just felt like I should show my seniority side once in a while. Usually, Yukito kun works very seriously. I was told that he doesn’t have any friends other than that person……”
The manager grinned and poked me on the shoulder.
“I never thought you’d have such a cute girlfriend. Is this girl the reason why you’ve been late lately?”
“I’m suing you, manager.”
“Are you gonna take legal action?”
“I’m the type of person who has to do everything as soon as possible.”
I almost let out a sigh, but I have to control myself because I’m in front of Kusunoki.
“I-I’m sorry. Can I tell him one last thing?”
“I’ll leave the POP to you, Yukito kun.”
“Sure.”
The manager seemed to let me off the hook. I looked at Kusunoki while thanking the manager who returned to the register.
“H-how is it……will you come to my house?”
“I’m coming.”
I said the words back before they could be transmitted to her brain.
Her face is bright red and her eyes are moist,……and it looks as if she is about to start crying if I refuse.
I couldn’t say no.
“I’m glad. I’ll come back when you’re finished.”
“Ah, yes. Please be careful…”
Then, Kusunoki took two members’ key chains from the [Suh] corner and went to the cash register.
She’s buying the member’s goods for a fan !?
But it’s not like she found me while shopping. The point is,Kaname told her that I work here.
Well, I should get back to work.
Once again, I started staring at the [Sunlight hope] section. …..As if to turn away from reality.
◆◆◆
“Good work, Yukito kun. Here you go. Do you drink café au lait?”
“I’m so tired from my part-time job. I can drink it.”
Even if I can’t drink it, I can drink it now.
Kusunoki was waiting for me in front of the store after my part-time job. Dressed as usual like a member of the library staff.
“Erm, I’d like to ask you some questions.”
“Oh, I know. I’ll answer if I can.”
So I asked her a few questions without hesitation.
“First of all, what brings you here?”
“…..T-thank you, you know. I’m a little embarrassed, but I was wondering if you would appreciate my cooking…..or. I guess.”
“I’ll eat until I’m dying.”
“D-don’t do that because your stomach will burst, okay?”
Eh, wait. Even though it’s late.
“Am I going to my idol’s house?”
“Y-yeah……you’ve been saying that for a while now.”
“Won’t there be a scandal or something?”
“That’s okay. No one noticed me in the first place…not in this state.”
Hm? Kusunoki tilts her head and is so cute that I would almost faint if I let her guard down.
“Now that I think about it, you’re disguised.
It’s so cute with different vectors of cuteness.”
“Ah, thank you. ….Neither the producer nor the members noticed, and they said it was absolutely fine…”
Although I was almost surprised that I hadn’t noticed. I don’t think people would notice it normally.
That’s how good her appearance is……and above all, she hides her aura.
It’s really amazing.
“But it’s okay. I’m sure they wouldn’t be able to notice me. It’s just that Yukito kun has been such a fan of mine for so long.”
“Well, I’m a pretty old fan myself.”
“……Are you an old fan after all?”
“Ah…..no, I mean, you know. In moderation.”
Huh? She was staring at me like a detective and I was in agony. Kusunoki, I think you’d look good in detective-like clothes. She’d look good on anything.
Then I cleared my throat. It’s not something we should really talk about. Also, if it gets any more complicated, it’s likely that we will be discovered.
“Well, that’s all I wanna ask you for now. Let’s talk while we’re walking.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Relieved by her words, we headed to Kusunoki’s house.
“….I wanna ask one more thing. Isn’t this too much for a thank-you? Inviting me to your house and treating me to dinner?”
“But you nodded your head, didn’t you, Yukito kun?”
“Ugh…..”
Once I spit out the words, I couldn’t swallow them.
“But a fan can’t just go to an idol’s house.”
“Then think of me as your classmate.”
“…Isn’t it somehow worse that way?”
“It’s okay. …I believe in Yukito kun.”
“Ack.”
If you say so,……above all, I can’t win against those teary eyes I saw when I was invited.
Then we headed to Kusunoki’s house.
◆◆◆
Kusunoki’s house was a very private-looking apartment. As expected of an idol. As a fan, I was relieved to know that she lived in a place with high security.
As we got into the elevator, Kusunoki looked at me worriedly.
“…..Are you nervous?”
“I’m so nervous. I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“A-are you okay? Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
“Asaskaskak.”
She strokes my back. I feel like I’m gonna melt from the tenderness.
Also, I like it when she touches me in such a natural way. I already like it.
But I’m so nervous. Since it’s her house, Kusunoki’s parents must also be there. I have to kneel down first and—
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t say that. My mom and dad aren’t home either.”
“Eh?”
“Ah, here we are. Let’s go.”
“Wait, eh?”
Didn’t she just say something outrageous?
Despite my confusion, Kusunoki got out of the elevator.

I kinda like this MC. His personality is a bit different from the norm in romcom WNs. Like, how he’s 100% super passionate about his idol worship 24/7, but despite that, he’s also super respectful and considerate, and always ready to back off and distance himself if he thinks she’s in any way inconvenienced by his behavior. So he’s like, a little crazy, but also very nice. It’s a refreshing divergence from the typical MC that either falls in the category of being super passive, super anxious or a douchebag.
