I swear, I really don’t know anymore! I told you straight up! I wasn’t messing around like usual—I was pretty serious about it.
If it’s impossible even after saying all this, then I won’t say it again. Well, I guess there’s nothing more I can do then.
For me, the best approach would’ve been to get most of it out yesterday, then add the last bit I couldn’t say at the end.
If I’d done that, there’d be that event where Saotome takes you out on her bike, and his favorability with her would’ve gone up.
Well, but this way makes me look better to Saotome, so it’s fine for me. It’s fine, it’s fine, but… it still hurts, you know?
No, I mean, I did tell her seriously yesterday.
“I’m home~”
Why do I end up reporting my arrival to an empty house?
“Welcome home~”
…Sigh.
If I get a reply when no one should be here, that means she’s here.
“Why the hell are you here?”
“Huh? You said ‘I’m home’ because you wanted me to be here, right?”
There she was, sprawled on the sofa watching TV.
“No way. I just say it every day out of habit.”
“You’re weird.”
Saying that, the goddess shifted her gaze back to the TV.
“Can’t you tell me when you’re coming beforehand?”
“A goddess’s job is busy. That’s why I come when I suddenly get a break, so even I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it.”
Is she really that busy? Or is she just slacking off all the time?
“So, what brings you here today?”
“Today, I thought I’d tell you your likability rating.”
“Whoa! Seriously?!”
An important event finally came up after so long! Yeah, without this, I wouldn’t know where I stand right now. It determines my future actions, but more importantly, it tells me if I have breathing room or if I’m doomed.
“Now then, bow your head to this goddess here!”
“Haha~”
I immediately sat down, placed my hands together, and bowed my head.
No pride? Well, popularity points are more important than pride!
“Ehh… Hold on a sec~”
“Yes. I’ll gladly wait anytime.”
The goddess, as always, looked cool as she plopped a book onto her palm. That’s really every guy’s dream, isn’t it? I’d love to try it if I could.
“Let’s see now~. Niiro Sarasa. That girl with the long hair, hmm~ 44, right?”
44!?
“Hisada Haruka. The girl with short hair, huh~ Perfect 40!”
40!
“Is that… really true?”
“Why would I lie?”
Yesss! This is a pretty good pace! I mean, there are still tons of events left, so at this point, it’s basically a guaranteed win.
What the~ I thought it’d be lower since it wasn’t following the original story.
“Hmph!”
I’m so happy I almost threw up a victory pose.
“That’s great, isn’t it?”
“Yeah~ it sure is~. I’d been feeling uneasy because that affection meter was always in the back of my mind.”
I’d been anxious the whole time. Those two never really showed they liked Saotome. You could tell they got along well, but was that affection? I kept wondering.
Turns out those two are tsundere after all. They’ve been tsundere all along without me noticing. At this point, they’re professional tsundere.
Do they only go “I love Saotome~♡” when they’re in their own rooms?
…Ehehe~ Nice, nice. That’s pretty nice.
“Your face looks creepy.”
“Oh?”
Apparently, it was showing on my face.
“Alright. My work here is done. Food still~?”
The goddess, having finished her task, flopped back onto the sofa and started watching TV.
Normally, I’d want to kick this guy off the sofa, but I’m in a good mood right now. I’d even go to the convenience store if she told me to.
“Fine, fine. I’ll make it now, so just wait.”
Alright, I’ll make it for the goddess!
“Um…”
“…What?”
What? You’ve got some nerve saying that in this situation.
“I’m not going anywhere, you know.”
Because I said yesterday I wouldn’t go, Hisada-chan has me trapped. It’s a cute way of trapping me, just gripping my sleeve tightly with both hands.
I could easily break free from such a cute grip, but I can’t bring myself to do something so inhumane.
Stop it~ If it were ropes or handcuffs, I’d force them off and run, but with her just squeezing my sleeve, I don’t even feel like trying to escape.
“Oh my oh my.”
“Now, now.”
“Hey! Stop looking!”
The girls in class react like they’re watching something heartwarming.
I’m dying of embarrassment being seen like this. If there were a mirror here right now, I’d definitely see my face bright red.
“…Don’t try to run away.”
“I’m not…”
Ugh… so embarrassing… I don’t even know why I’m this embarrassed. Maybe it’s just embarrassing to be seen by others?
“…You still don’t want to go to club activities?”
Hisada-chan looks at me with a worried expression.
Did she feel like she was forcing me to come and doing something I didn’t want to do?
“I had so much fun yesterday, I want to go every day.”
With her looking at me like that, I couldn’t possibly say I didn’t want to go, even if my mouth split open.
“…Really? That’s good.”
She suddenly lets go of my sleeve, which she’d been gripping tightly until just now.
Huh?! You’re letting go? That’s not right! Shouldn’t you keep holding me so I don’t run away? Hey, I might run off~.
No, if I ran away right now… Just thinking about it is terrifying.
“Are you having fun at club activities, Haruka-chan?”
I invited her just to stick to the original story, but is she actually enjoying it?
“…It’s only the second day.”
“Well, yeah, but…”
Well, yeah, but if the first day wasn’t fun, that’s rough, right?
“…It’s fun. Every day is fun. …Thank you.”
“Eh, …Ah, yeah.”
Every day? Thank you?
…?
