“Ryoma-kun. Once again, thank you for your hard work today.”
After finishing my conversation with Kanzaki-san and saying goodbye to Kikuchi-kun and Akari-chan, I walked home with Ryoma-kun while talking with him.
“Ah, thank you. It’s finally over.”
Ryoma-kun smiled with his eyebrows lowered, saying that the weight on his shoulders had finally been lifted, and I was startled, but hearing that made me feel relieved. I hope this will reduce Ryoma-kun’s burden.
“I’m really sorry for causing you so much trouble and making you wait until this late hour.”
Ryoma-kun looked at me apologetically.
Ugh… He’s just too cool…
“No, no! Don’t apologize! I think I would have been worried even if I had been at home…”
“Really?” Ryoma-kun asked, and I continued.
“Besides, I’m happy that you told me first.”
Upon hearing that, Ryoma-kun opened his eyes slightly and smiled.
“Haha. That’s right. Koharu is the best.”
Ryoma-kun continued to laugh.
Did I say something funny?!
“Why are you laughing so much?!”
“Well, I just thought you said something cute.”
“Cute…!?”
“Hehehe…”
“Ahh!! You’re teasing me, aren’t you!? Stop it! Stop it!!”
After that, Ryoma-kun teased me and we talked about various things as he walked me home. I finished dinner, took a bath, did my homework, and other things for the day, then lay down in bed.
“Haa~… That was nice, Ryoma-kun. Finally, I can relax.”
Even after returning home, Ryoma-kun kept replying to my messages. I could tell he was willing to engage in casual conversations without forcing himself.
Oh, right. I thought now might be a good time, so I started typing a message.
“Um, ‘If you’re free next week, would you like to go out and play?’”
Hehe. It’s okay to say something like that, right?
I’m his girlfriend! …Well, just temporarily, but still.
Buzz
A little while after sending it, I received a reply. I was happy that he had already seen it and checked it.
[Ryoma: Ah. I have to go to the amusement park with Ayaka and the others next week. I’m sorry.]
“[I understand… It’s okay, don’t worry about it! If you’d like, we can go another day!]… I wish I could go to the amusement park.~”
The amusement park we talked about before… It’s a shame, but it’s not just my time.
Now that things have settled down, I want him to relax and enjoy himself.
I was looking at the calendar wondering when the next plan would be, when suddenly Ryoma called. Wow, what could it be?
“Hello?!”
“Hello. Sorry for calling suddenly.”
Ryoma-kun’s voice over the phone is nice too. No, no!
“No, it’s okay! What’s wrong?”
“I wanted to tell you directly that I’m sorry for having to decline your invitation. I’m really sorry.”
“No, no, I’m sorry for making you feel bad… It’s okay.”
You’re so considerate… Ugh, you’re too kind.
“No, it’s not that I’m worried or anything, it’s just that I wanted to go on a date with Koharu too.”
“No, no… What?! Ryoma-kun?! umm!!”
“No, um. What am I saying? Ah, that’s all. Well, see you later!”
“Wait, wait a minute!!! Ah…”
Click.
“Ugh…!! Ryoma-kun, you’re so mean!!!!”
He’s really mean. He must know that it makes me happy, so he’s saying it on purpose.
And I’m the one who gets happy about it, but…
While pounding the pillow, trying to somehow deal with these uncontrollable emotions, I reached for my phone and called Akari-chan.
Even though I called suddenly, she answered right away after a few rings.
“Ah, Akari-chan? I’m sorry for calling suddenly. Can you listen to me for a moment? … Ah, are you okay? That’s good… Eh, what happened? Oh, right! That’s right! Ryoma-kun…”
Once I stated talking about what had happened earlier and everything that had happened up until now, I couldn’t stop. I felt bad for Akari-chan. At one point, she said, “Enough already!” so we switched topics to recent recommended videos, makeup, and new releases, and decided to go shopping together next time.
It was so much fun. I have to thank her next time we meet.
He mentioned Ayaka-chan and the others at the amusement park, right? I heard about it before, but there’s definitely a girl who likes Ryoma-kun… A middle school student… uu
Ryoma-kun is such a great person, so I understand why so many people like him, but I still want to be the one he likes the most!
I’m just a temporary girlfriend, but I’m his girlfriend!!! I won’t lose!
