I was heading to the fitting room where Nanahoshi is, but on the way there I took a slight detour and walked to a place where men’s clothes were sold.
“If the clothes are special school uniforms, she’ll notice”
So I bought a black shirt with appropriate buttons and cool trousers, and quickly changed in a different fitting room from the one where Nanahoshi was.
Then, because I was going to the fitting room now and she would definitely be suspicious if I was empty-handed, I grabbed some appropriate men’s clothing and headed to the fitting room once again.
When I arrived ──── near the fitting room, I could see from there that Nanahoshi in the fitting room had already opened the curtains of the fitting room and was waiting for me, or more precisely for Magiri, wearing one of the clothes she had
She didn’t seem to have noticed me yet, but there was no reason to wait for Nanahoshi to notice me, so I walked to the front of the fitting room.
\Then, Nanahoshi heard my footsteps and looked at me as soon as she heard them and ────
“…… Eh? Eh, eh? …… eh?!”
She was very plainly confused and very plainly astonished.
Then she stepped out of the fitting room and turned to me and said.
“T…… Toiro san? Eh? Toiro-san, right?”
I don’t think there’s any way she could mistake my face now, since she’s met me as Toiro many times already, but Nanahoshi probably can’t feel any sense of reality from the suddenness of it.
I say, acting as if it is a coincidence that I met Nanahoshi here.
“Yes, I was surprised because I didn’t expect to meet Nanahoshi here.”
Normally, it might have been detected as a lie because I wasn’t actually thinking about it, but her expression didn’t seem to be anything like that right now, so there shouldn’t be any problems…I thought of that. While I was there, she said in a panic.
“M-me too! But I’m really happy to see you, Toiro-san,……!”
“That’s good to hear.”
Then, without further pause, she opens her mouth and says.
“I mean, listen to me! I’m here with a boy from the same high school, but he’s been gone for more than ten minutes now, saying he’s going to be gone for a moment!”
“That’s tough.”
It hurts to hear this, but for the sake of her, I have no choice but to do this now.
While thinking this, I replied as if in agreement, and she paused for a while before waving her hands and saying.
“Ah, you know! I said I’m here with a boy, but he’s not my boyfriend or anything, he’s just a boy friend! I’ve never had a boyfriend before!”
I don’t remember asking for such at all, but Nanahoshi made such a defence, so I nodded and said.
“I know, because if you had a boyfriend you wouldn’t be asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
When Nanahoshi said that, her eyes widened for a moment as if she had realized something, and then she asked me.
“I don’t think we’ve talked about this before, but according to the current flow of the story, does that mean that Toiro san, who pretended to be my boyfriend, doesn’t have a girlfriend now?”
“Yes.”
“I-I see!”
When I answered honestly that it was not something that would make her look good, Nanahoshi said so with red cheeks and her mouth knotted up in a happy smile.
Then, as if to cover up something, Nanahoshi’s eyes swam and she said.
“Well, even so, he’s really slow~, I wonder how long he’s going to make me wait~, I want him to see if the clothes suit me as soon as possible…”
“If it’s okay with Nanahoshi, I can look at it for you.”
“…… Eh!?”
Nanahoshi showed surprise and continued.
“T-Toiro-san is going to watch me try on clothes?”
“Yeah, I’m not an expert on women’s clothing, so I can’t give you too many detailed comments, but if you’d still like.”
“!It’s totally fine! I want you to think I’m cute——No…it’s okay anyway! I’d rather ask!”
“Well, if that’s the case, then let’s see.”
When she said that, she spread her arms out in embarrassment and said.
“Quickly, this street-style outfit I’m wearing right now is the first one I’m trying on… …… does it suit me?”
Only the last part was asked somewhat uneasily.
What she is currently wearing is a white T-shirt, with stylish English written in black letters just above the chest.
“It suits you.”
“…~~!!!”
When I honestly expressed my feelings, she let out an inaudible sound, stepped back and said, her cheeks turning red.
“Thank you.. Then, I’m going to go and change into my second outfit,…….”
“Yeah”
Saying that, she entered the fitting room and closed the curtains,──── and for a few seconds, a small jumping sound could be heard from inside it.
But that only lasted a few seconds, so I decided that it was probably some kind of misunderstanding on my part, and I continued to watch Nanahoshi try on the clothes afterwards.──── It’s a strange feeling.
I’m definitely moving now, not by logic but by some sort of emotion…… I usually don’t have much of an emotional swing to begin with, and even when I do, I don’t like to move too much emotionally.
Because sometimes it’s only a disadvantage to act emotionally…… and if I think about it logically, I’m sure that’s what I’m doing right now.
If it was only for myself, I definitely wouldn’t feel good about doing that,…… but for some reason,──── I felt like it wouldn’t be so bad if I thought it was for her
