＜Amano Natsumi, point of view＞
Today, I’m hanging out with Kakuta Shoma.
I’ve had a bit of a crush on him for a while and managed to get to the point where I even invited him to hang out with me at the end of the class match.
As I headed to the restroom, I stood in front of the mirror and faced myself once again, looking once more at the glasses I usually don’t wear.
These glasses.
In the morning, when I went out the front door, I heard something moving on the porch of the house, and when I approached the direction of the sound, I found nothing there but these glasses on the ground.
I was curious and picked them up. They were so beautiful that I could not believe they had been there for a long time, so I put them on.
“I put them on. Are these father’s?”
I was thinking that I needed something to add to my outfit today, so I decided to put them on and go.
“Natsumi, you haven’t gone yet?
“Oh, Mom. Are these mother’s glasses?”
“I don’t know. They look good on you, but what happened to that glasses?”
“I found them on the floor here, and they were beautiful, so I thought they might be yours …….”
In the middle of the conversation, I noticed a strange number above hers.
7-
What is this?
I had never seen that before, and I wondered what 70 was.
“Mom, that number….”
“Natsumi, if you don’t go quickly, you’ll be late. You’re going to play with the precious boy today, aren’t you?”
“Oh, that’s right. I’m off.”
I was heading to the meeting place with Shoma without understanding the meaning of the numbers I could now see.
“Sorry to keep you waiting~”
“It’s okay, I just got here too.”
“Is that so? That’s good to know.”
“Was it the aquarium today?”
“Yes! Let’s go then.”
When I met up with Shoma, I saw a number on his head as well.
He is the second person after mom.
I wonder if they are only visible above the person you are talking to.
Besides, this time the number was
50.
Mom’s number was bigger than his.
As soon as we started walking together, Shoma asked me.
“I think you look good in today’s outfit, but isn’t your mood somehow different from usual?”
“Is it? I’m the same as usual, but ……. I didn’t know Natsumi san wore glasses. you didn’t wear them at the launch.”
I was very happy that he noticed the slight change, but on the other hand, a feeling of fear came up that I should not reveal that these glasses were strange glasses, so I hid them as quickly as I could.
‘Eh, glasses? …… Oh, these are my date glasses. Stylish, right?”
I quickly pushed up my glasses and said cutely, and at that moment the number on Shoma’s head changed from 50 to 51.
It went up!?
I wonder if it goes up when I do something cute.
“I see. …….”
I don’t know what this number means, but my woman’s intuition tells me that the bigger the better, so I decided to raise it as much as I could today.
The otter, the penguin, the seal, the jellyfish, and the chin sea eel.
As a result of my visiting aquariums with Shoma using my knowledge and cuteness to the fullest, Shoma’s current number reached 60.
And thanks to spending the past day worrying about the number, I realized what this number means.
“It’s about likability.”
Once I know that, it’s time to talk about it.
I don’t know what the limit is, but I must make Shoma’s number bigger.
With that in mind, I left the restroom.
I walked out of the bathroom and saw Shoma sitting about 50 meters away from me.
I let out one big breath and took a spirited step forward.
But that step was blocked by someone’s hand on my shoulder.
“Hey, Onee chan. Are you alone? If so, come play with us.”
I turned around and saw two college-aged men standing there with a wry smile on their faces.
“Unfortunately, there is someone waiting for me, so could you please find someone else?”
“Don’t lie to me. You’re just trying to be tough even though you’re all alone.”
“That’s right. It’s more fun to play with us~”
“Please quit.”
I tried to run away, but he grabbed my arm and wouldn’t let me go.
I looked at the place where Shoma was just now to ask for help, but he was gone.
My mind went blank at this moment.
I realized that these people had no choice but to take me away.
I closed my eyes and prayed.
Somebody, please help me. Somebody, help me.
“Excuse me. This person is with me. Should I call the staff?”
I opened my eyes at that voice.
The owner of that voice, Shoma, who was holding my hand and grabbing my arm, looked very cool.
With Shoma’s appearance, the men let go of my hand, clicked their tongues, and left.
“Sorry, I was buying drinks and didn’t realize it until later. Did they do anything to you?
Hey, Natsumi, why are you smiling?”
“You were cool. Thank you.”
Hearing those words, Shoma looked a little embarrassed.
Today, for the first time, these natural words came from deep inside me, and the numbers I could see changed, but that didn’t matter now.
I had only been curious about him until then, but maybe at this moment I thought I liked him.
After that, we split up after a quick tour of the dolphin show and other attractions.
This was a big day for me.
