“Whew, there’s nothing to do, I think I’ll just go to bed today.”
I mumbled after a big sigh of relief on Saturday night.
(Ping)
While I was thinking that, I received a LUNE message on my phone.
I picked up my phone and checked the sender, it said Sasauchi Kaoru.
[Kaito kun. Are you free now?]
[I’m totally free. Is something wrong?]
[Um…..can I call you now?]
[A phone call. Of course.]
As soon as I said that, Kaoru called me and I picked up right away.
[I’m sorry I called you late at night…..]
[No, no, it’s totally fine. So what’s going on?]
I said so and Kaoru slowly started to speak.
[Erm….Kaito kun. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?]
I always have nothing planned, not just tomorrow, but I wonder what’s going on.
I wonder if she would ask me to pick her up from cram school.
But if that was the case, she wouldn’t have said it this way, and lately she’s been saying it in a more easy going way. Now Kaoru’s voice sounds somewhat stiff or nervous……I wonder what’s really going on.
I thought about this when I replied to Kaoru.
[I don’t have anything special to do tomorrow, but what’s wrong? Should I pick you up from cram school?]
[No. I only have cram school in the morning, so you don’t have to pick me up…….]
[I see. Is there anything else?]
[Erm……if you don’t mind, would you like to hang out with me tomorrow?]
Kaoru said shyly.
[Eh !?]
I was so surprised to hear it that my voice came out that way.
I didn’t expect Kaoru to ask me out on a date.
……It’s a date, right?
Even so, judging from Kaoru’s voice, she must have mustered up a lot of courage to say this……she sounded really nervous.
I thought so and felt very happy.
Of course, there’s no reason to refuse, and I want to hang out with Kaoru too.
[You wanna hang out with me?]
[Y-yeah…..is it……a no?]
When she heard that, she looked a little sad and said so.
I didn’t think so, but I wondered if Kaoru felt that I wasn’t interested. I thought so and answered with a high level of tension.
[Of course it’s fine ! I’d rather hang out with Kaoru too !]
[T-thank you…..Kaito kun……]
[But what are you planning to do?]
[R-right……]
After Kaoru said that, she went silent for a bit.
[Eh, how about a movie or something like….the current hot topic….]
[Movie ! That sounds good.]
[As for what happens after that…I haven’t decided yet…..let’s decide after watching the movie……actually, I just invited you, but I haven’t decided on what to do yet….sorry.]
[It’s okay if you don’t have to apologize. I’m extremely happy just because Kaoru invited me.’]
[I-I see……]
[Yeah !]
[So, are you okay with tomorrow?]
It’s an emergency, so maybe we should think about what to do together at that time. I’m sure we can figure out what to do together at that time, depending on our moods.
I’m glad that I can go to the movies with Kaoru, but most of all, I’m happy that I can go out with Kaoru.
[Right. For now, let’s just go see a movie.]
[Y-yeah…….]
[So what time do you wanna go tomorrow?]
[Erm…..can we do it at two in the afternoon? I have cram school in the morning.]
[Of course. Then tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.]
[Yeah. Can we meet at…..at the south exit of XXX station?]
[Okay. Then let’s meet there.]
[Yeah….then I’m going to bed, I have an early morning tomorrow.]
[Oh, good night. I’m looking forward to it.]
[Yeah……I’m looking forward to it too…..good night, Kaito kun.]
Then Kaoru and I ended the call.
“I wonder if there was any change in Kaoru?”
I’m sure that when I declared that I liked her yesterday, Kaoru said that she couldn’t give me an answer because she had Yamazaki to think about.
Me and Yamazaki. It means that she was in a position to choose between the two.
She said she liked me too, but I guess she hadn’t forgotten about Yamazaki.
Well, we only recently became friends…in comparison, I think she has known Yamazaki since kindergarten, so they’ve known each other for about ten years…
I don’t think there’s been a big change from yesterday to today, but I guess it’s nothing to be concerned about.
Mostly I thought about it before, but I don’t feel like Yamazaki can beat me now.
I don’t feel like I can lose to Yamazaki now that he has been eyeing Kirara and more recently Hitomi.
“Well, but let’s not think about that now, tomorrow I have to enjoy myself and make Kaoru happy.”
I’d like to make it a good memory for her since it’s the first time for me to go out with Kaoru on a holiday.
◇
The next day at noon, I was getting ready to go out with Kaoru.
“This is fine.”
I checked the mirror and finished checking my appearance.
“I’m looking forward to it……”
I don’t know if I can say this, we’ve already slept together, but I’m looking forward to going on a proper date with her.
I’m not nervous, but I feel like I’m in a good mood.
To tell you the truth, I want Kaoru to look only at me, so I’m going to be proactive today.
I will stop worrying about Yamazaki today…that’s how determined I am to do my best.
That’s why I prepared myself with even more energy than usual.
“Come to think of it, I never told Kaoru I was rich……”
I suddenly thought of that when I thought about today’s date.
I’m going to pay for everything today, but Kaoru will definitely refuse because she asked me out herself.
Well, I guess it’s okay…if I say I want to treat her, I don’t think Kaoru will refuse.
Well, when should I confess that I have money…..since it’s Kaoru’s case, I know there’s no way she’ll get lured in by money, so I think it’s okay to tell her anytime…
“Even if I were to tell her, would it be better to do so after we’ve started dating?”
To be honest, there’s no big reason for me to hide it from her, but if we’re still going to go out, I’ll have to tell her eventually…….
But I’m not sure if it’s just a matter of timing……it’s unlikely that the relationship will change significantly.
I know the heroines well enough to know that Kaoru’s reaction, while still very surprised, is that she doesn’t care too much about them. Money is important, of course, but she is a girl who values what’s inside more than what’s outside.
Well, this is not only true for Kaoru, but also for Hitomi.
As for Kirara, she may have many things on her mind because of her family’s situation, but even so, it doesn’t mean that she likes someone because they are rich.
The heroines in this game are like that, they always look at what’s on the inside first.
“That being said, I think it’s time for me to leave.”
If I leave my house now, I can get to the meeting place about 30 minutes before.
So I left my house and headed to the meeting place.
