I was pulled along by Himekane, and we arrived at a town about two stations away from the nearest station from High School.
It is the most prosperous place in the area, and is a great spot to hang out with friends or enjoy some time with your lover.
“I don’t come here often, but …… there are quite a lot of people.”
“At this time of the day, there are a lot of students who come here after school to have fun. So, where is that girl?”
“There she is.”
I glanced back and there was Shinegawa, hiding in the shadows, staring at me. It was a horror story.
“Now then, we’re going to show that junior how much love we have, so where should we go?”
“I think the standard place is a video arcade. There’s one right over there.”
“I don’t like noisy places.”
“You’re so selfish. Then, Tazuna kun, is there anywhere you want to go?”
“Let’s go to the park.”
“A park?”
“Let’s hold hands and relax. That way we don’t have to spend any money.”
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”
“I think a date is more about who you go with than where you go right? I’ve never been on a date, so I don’t know.”
“Well, that’s true. But I think it’s important to know where you’re going on a date, too.”
“Is that what it is?”
“Well, if the relationship has progressed to a certain degree, as you say, anywhere is fine, you know? But the first date, for example, may make both parties nervous and unsure of what to talk about.”
“Hmmm……., that’s true.”
“In that case, for example, if you go to a game arcade, you can talk about a lot of things, can’t you?”
“….I see. In other words, the destination of the date is important to create a topic of conversation”
“But with that said, I think what Tazuna-kun says is true. However, we don’t have that deep of a relationship…I don’t think I’ll feel at ease even if I relax in the park…”
“……”
“Tazuna-kun? What’s wrong with being silent? ”
“No, I just think you’re pretty accurate for someone as inexperienced as I am.”
“I’m used to hearing my friends’ stories.”
“I see.”
I then took Himekane’s advice and went into a nearby bookstore as a place where we could talk.
“I’ve never been to a bookstore before.”
“This place is big and seems to have a lot of stuff. Is there any particular genre you are interested in?”
“I guess I’m interested in fashion magazines. I was influenced by someone.”
“Hmm? Why are you looking at me?”
“Well? Why do you think?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking you.”
“But, Tazuna kun, is there anything you’re interested in?”
“There it is.”
I pointed to the area hidden by the 18 ban.
“That’s terrible!”
“I’d love to go in there sometime.”
“Is that all you boys ever think about?”
“Of course they do.”
“That’s been confirmed.”
“I mean, what else do men think about?”
“Is that really what you’re saying…? Moou why don’t you try reading some fashion magazines, Tazuna-kun, and get interested in fashion?”
“I’m fine. Even if I wear fancy clothes, it probably won’t suit me.”
“It’s not that. You are tall, broad-shouldered, and stylish.”
“Is that so?”
“The face isn’t that bad either,……. Rather than a cluttered design, a clean design like a suit, taking advantage of the inverted triangular silhouette,…….”
“Hey?”
“*Mumble.”
Himekane has entered her own world. It seems like my voice isn’t being heard. When I glanced around, I spotted Shinegawa just across from me.
She seemed to be browsing through a magazine and occasionally glanced in my direction. From the outside, it was very suspicious.
“Himekane. It’s time to move on.”
“Eh? What? move on?”
After saying “Welcome back” to Himekane, who had finally returned from her own world, I headed to the cash register with the fashion magazine that Himekane had recommended.
“Oh, you’re buying ……?”
“Well, it was recommended to me, so I thought I’d at least take a look at it once.”
“…I see.”
Himekane smiled somewhat happily.
After that, we went around more and more, and when the time was right, we decided to disband
“Well, thank you for coming in today.”
“No. I’m the one who should thank you.”
“Why is Himekane thanking me?”
You’re helping me, so I’m the one who’s thanking you.
“Because it was fun?”
“Fun?”
“Huh? Strange? I had a lot of fun on my date with Tazuna-kun, so I just wanted to thank you…”
“Ah, no. ……”
If you say it’s strange, it might be strange. It’s not like I’m a fan of Himekane. It wasn’t like I was trying to get Himekane to enjoy it either.
But if she enjoyed it, that’s a good thing.
“I’ll be on my way, then.”
“Yeah. I’m going down. See you.”
We were about to part at the station when,
“What is it, you?”
I heard Shinegawa’s voice and both of us turned around at the same time. Then, there was Shinegawa who was entangled with a man.
“No~ it seemed like you were alone at the station at this time of the day. Aren’t you waiting for a pick-up?”
“No, I wasn’t.”
“No, Don’t be so shy~. I like cute girls like you~. I know a place nearby where you can drink delicious hydrogen water. If you want, we can have a relaxing talk there. I’ll buy you a drink.”
Delicious hydrogen water?
Himekane was caught up in the conversation and tilted her head.
“Delicious hydrogen water?I’m curious.”
“Eh? Curious?”
Does Himekane not care? I see.
“I mean, that’s a pick up right…..?”
“Seems so.”
“Stalker being picked up huh ……, well, let’s leave her alone.”
“……”
“Tazuna kun?”
“I’m going for a little bit…….”
“Eh? You’re going to save her?!”
“You can go home.”
“Eh, W-wait! What?!”
I turned on my heel to help Shinegawa.
“Haa.…I really want him to stop showing me how cool he is, like going to help a stalker…”
