I said it was the final spurt, but that’s not right. From now on, it’s the winning run. Because all I have to do is eat some sweets and ask them to be my friends. I can’t imagine anything strange happening from something like this, but just in case.
I’m going to secretly follow them, but there’s a chance I’ll be mistaken for a stalker. If I get caught for this, then so be it.
I don’t want the others in my class to find out, so I’ll take off my headband, put on my glasses, and go in disguise.
The scary thing is that I might be found out in this state, and it would be incredibly embarrassing to be found out in disguise. If I’m found out, they’ll definitely grin at me and tease me from the next day, so I can’t let not only Niiro and Saotome find out, but also the other girls in my class.
Actually, I’m a little excited about sneaking around behind their backs. It’s like being a spy.
I spent the time until after school fantasizing about myself as a spy, so I’m very motivated.
“Okay!”
It’s after school time, so let’s get started.
It’s time to work behind the scenes.
I stay in the classroom and watch Saotome and Niiro leave the classroom. Are they going to leave together? If so, I’ll be so excited.
I check on their movements while talking with my classmates. When will they make their move?
…Here it comes!
“Sorry, I’m heading home.”
I waved goodbye to the others and left the classroom.
Time to begin—it’s showtime.
How about it? Was it cool?
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh! Shh.
This is fun! The thrill of not being found out makes my heart race! I’m in disguise, so they don’t recognize me, but I’m nervous that they might have noticed me just by glancing over here.
Niiro and Saotome haven’t noticed me, but instead, passersby are staring at me. It’s because I look so suspicious that it wouldn’t be surprising if someone reported me at any moment.
You might think I’m a little overexcited, but I’ve had a cold since yesterday, so I’m feeling a little high. Looking for a key chain on a rainy day may have made me cold.
But more important than that is Saotome and Niiro. They already have a good vibe going. This is a good trend, and I hope they continue to increase their favorability rating.
…Huh?
A piece of paper fell out of Niiro’s pocket. It can’t be, can it?
Staring intently at the fluttering piece of paper, I realized it was an all-you-can-eat sweets voucher.
Please tell me it’s a lie, I thought, as I chased after the all-you-can-eat sweets voucher dancing in the wind.
That’s why I told you not to do things that aren’t in the original story! Please, stop tormenting me anymore! In the first place, don’t put the all-you-can-eat sweets voucher in your pocket! Keep it safely in your bag!
I suppress my anger by thinking of Niiro’s happy face as she eats sweets. That’s right, Niiro likes tarts. Niiro is always cute when she eats with her mouth full. I used to have her as my home screen for a while.
“What are you doing?”
“Chairwoman!”
The chairwoman, who was walking while pushing her bicycle, spoke to me. Club activities are canceled today, so she is going home early.
“Chairperson! Can I borrow your bike?”
“Eh, eh? What’s wrong?”
“Please! I’ll definitely repay you somehow someday!”
Despite the contradictory words, I use my usual momentum to insist and ask to borrow the bike.
“No.”
“Eh…”
The unexpected words from the chairwoman leave me momentarily speechless.
“You have to pay me back.”
“Yes.”
She must have noticed the contradiction in my words. She’s the committee chair after all.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“You better be.”
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about her expectations, but I can’t say that since she’s lending me the bike. But she’s so cute, so I guess it evens out.
Wow! When was the last time I rode a bike this much? My thighs will be sore tomorrow.
“No! That’s not allowed!”
I couldn’t help but shout because something terrible was about to happen.
The ticket, which had been fluttering in the wind, was blown all the way to the river.
Why won’t you let it go according to the original story? How much does the original story hate me?
I love the original so much, but it hates me. It’s sad that my love isn’t reaching the original.
There’s no time to complain. My body acted before I could think about my flaws, and it happened again this time.
“Catch it!!”
I abandoned the bike and did a diving catch for the all-you-can-eat sweets ticket. Of course, since I did it over the river, I just dove right in.
I moved forward with my arms raised to keep the ticket from getting wet. If it got wet and smudged, it might not be accepted as a ticket.
I already had a cold, but now I was sure I would catch a cold tomorrow.
I was soaking wet, but Niiro was in trouble right now, so I decided to hurry and give her the ticket.
“Achoo!”
It’s cold.
“Hey, it’s nowhere to be found.”
Niiro searched her pockets repeatedly, but couldn’t find it.
Just in time. she realized that it was still missing.
“Hey, what are you two doing?”
Here comes the person I don’t want to see!
“Nothing, we were just trying to eat dinner together.”
“What, just the two of you?”
It’s better to ask directly, “Aren’t you two on a date?”
“More importantly, why are you soaking wet?”
Saotome asks me a reasonable question.
“Well, I’m a water attribute, you know.”
“Huh?”
“Hm?”
If he asks me a reasonable question, the best thing to do is to give a weird answer.
“Is that thing over there maybe that thing?”
“”Huh?””
I wanted to avoid their gaze, so I pointed far away to divert their attention. I took advantage of the opportunity to quickly put the all-you-can-eat dessert ticket into Niiro bag.
“There’s nothing there.”
“Oh, I must have seen it wrong.”
I tapped my forehead with my hand and made an exaggerated reaction. If someone did this to me, I probably wouldn’t talk to them for three days.
“Well, enjoy yourselves.”
I was like a storm, wreaking havoc and then leaving.
When I glanced back, I saw Niiro happily looking at the all-you-can-eat sweets ticket. Good, now I can proceed according to the original plan.
It was cold, so I wanted to go home, but I decided to stay until the two of them finished their all-you-can-eat sweets.
Until just now, I felt like a spy, but now I feel like a detective on stakeout. I should have bought milk and anpan. Should I go buy some now? I still have time, so I’ll go buy some.
I resumed my stakeout with milk in one hand and melon bread in the other.
Why melon bread? Because I prefer melon bread over anpan. There are some melon breads without indentations, right? Those really bring me down. I prefer the ones with proper indentations.
After I finish eating, I have nothing to do, so I imagine Niiro eating sweets. The picture in the game is so cute. Everyone there falls in love with Niiro at first sight.
Wait a minute. I’m so close to her, but all I can do is imagine? She could at least show me a little! I’ve been reincarnated into my favorite game, but this is not right.
I hang my head in disappointment and wait, wondering if she’s coming out yet.
“Ha..Chooooo!”
It’s cold.
Oh! They’re finally coming out!
The two of them came out of the store with smiles on their faces. I’m glad they had fun.
Well, I guess I’ll see it through to the end.
To be honest, I’ve wanted to go home for the past 30 minutes or so, and I regret not going home earlier. But now that I’ve come this far, I want to see it through to the end.
I become a spy again and follow the two of them.
“I was worried.”
Here it comes!
“I was already worried about suddenly transferring schools, and then I lost my keychain, so I was scared I wouldn’t be able to manage school life. But now I feel a little better.”
Yeah, yeah, it was scary. Plus, that guy Mizuno is always gossiping behind people’s backs and saying mean things.
“I want to get a little better, so please be my first friend since I transferred here.”
Yay!! I saw it!! I’m so moved right now!
Seeing this makes me glad I stayed here until the end.
At least now I can move on to the next heroine.
I’m so happy my body is hot. Too hot.
“Hachoo….!”
…Let’s go home.
