Lunch.
“The hamburgers here are delicious. You want a bite, Kurusu?”
“Sure, I’ll take one.”
“Here, open your mouth. Aaaahn”
“A-aaahn….”
Date is the best right!
◆
Shopping.
“This hat would look good on Kurusu, don’t you think?”
“Really? Then I’ll buy it.”
“Wait a minute. Let me buy it for you.”
“W-why ……?”
“Not that it’s a return gift for the inn ……, but I wanted to buy something for Kurusu too. I’ve always seen how hard you work every day.”
Date is the bestttt~~~~!!!
◆
Movie.
“Hee, so this is what couple seats are like. It’s small, but it’s nice to be able to lie down.”
“……, I’m a little nervous.”
“Nervous? Ah yeah, you don’t like the dark, do you?”
“No, it’s not that—”
“We’re going to lie down side by side, so why don’t we just stick together until the movie’s over?”
Date is great～～～～～～！！！！
◆
“…. no. What am I …… doing here?”
The movie is over and I quickly take refuge in the restroom.
I reapplied my lipstick and sighed the most today.
In fact, I was supposed to make Arata feel embarrassed today.
I was going to show him how cute I am and make him thoroughly aware of me.
And yet, what is this?!
All I do is admire how good-looking he is and then have him show me how good-looking he is!
Damn! Arata Idiot!
You’re a shitty idiot!
“I-I gotta do something ……!”
I even enlisted the help of Botan and the make-up artist …….
If this keeps up, I have no idea what I’ve been preparing for.
I’m going to take him to a love hotel halfway through the night.
….. Heh-hehehe. Ugehehehe!
That’s a good idea! That’s it, that’s the only way!
It’s Arata’s fault, right?
It’s Arata’s fault for messing up my plan, right?
“Hey, Arata. I …… thought I’d take a break somewhere. ……”
I left the restroom and talked to Arata, who was playing with his phone.
Try to keep my look look as sexy as possible.
I tauntfully tug at the sleeve of his clothes.
“I see. Then, just in time.”
“Eh?”
“You said a long time ago that you wanted to go to a cat cafe, right? I just called the cat café near here and they said it’s open and you can go right in. Do you want to go with me?”
“………… Auuuuu.”
On the one hand, I was a jerk who was trying to take him to a love hotel because the date didn’t go the way I wanted.
On the other hand, a handsome guy who remembered my past comments and made arrangements.
…… I want to cry already. I’m pathetic.
Kill me …… please, kill me …….

“When you get a chance, ahhh, do it for her! Prince, she’ll definitely enjoy it!”
I did it because a girl in my class told me to.
“You should give her a present, too!”
I had just planned to give her a gift too, so I gave it to her.
“Maybe if you casually hold her hand during a movie or something, she’ll be happy!”
I didn’t hold her hand, but I did follow up with something along the lines
I tried all the advice I got …… and well, if it would make Kurusu happy, I tried it.
It is true that she was pleased, but I could sense that she was concerned about something the whole time. Perhaps she was tired from wearing something she wasn’t used to.
So, after taking a break, we headed to the cat café she had wanted to go to.
“Here’s your iced coffee and hot milk tea. Please take your time.”
“Thank you.”
Cats roamed around the store, coasting around the place.
But all the way from the movie theater, Kurusu’s expression remained gloomy. She doesn’t even look at the cats, but instead sips at a cup of milk tea and wets her lips.
“I bought some snacks for the cats. Go ahead and play with it.”
“…..n-no, I’m …….”
While I was saying so, a black cat came tinkling in, having spotted the treats.
“Nyaa”
A low purr tells me to hurry up and give it to him.
I bring it to its mouth and it takes a bite. I sit down and enjoy the fur on its back and head.
“Kurusu, come on, give me your hand.”
I took her hand and halfway forced her to touch it.
It was fluffy, warm, and rumbled.
A unique sense of security came through the palm of my hand, and her face, which had been tense, softened a little.
“Uaa, a lot came”
“Eh. W-what should I do, what should I do ……!?”
Cats looking for snacks surround us.
I push the cup containing the snack onto Kurusu and sip the coffee.
“Unaaa”
“Nyaa”.
“T-there’s one for everyone. ……! Don’t fight ……!”
She said in a voice that was considerate of the other customers and the cats, handing out treats and enjoying the petting as a reward.
They climbed on her lap, up to her chest, and squirmed around.
The little furballs flocked to Kurusu.
“nyaauu!”
“Waaa. ……! O-ouch, ehehe, waiitt ……!”
“Myaaa.”
The smile is innocent and appropriate for her age.
Her sweet reaction belies her usual image of a cool and downer prince.
…Suddenly, I remember my days in middle school.
For a time, we had a cat that was given to us by a relative.
Kurusu, who loved cats but was not allowed to keep them due to her mother’s allergy problem, came to our house every day without fail for the cat.
She would play with the cat, be played with without me.
I felt a strange stirring in me at the time as I watched her expression.
At the time, I didn’t know how to put a name to that feeling.
“H-hey – it hurts when you lick it ……! Uwaa ……, mooooooo ……!”
I look at her once more and think back to my junior high school days.
I can now verbalize what I was thinking at the time.
“I’ve been …… for a long time.”
I murmured a little and met Kurusu’s eyes.
She looked down in embarrassment, but the cat immediately licked the back of her hand, and her lips relaxed into a smile like ice cream.
“-Did I think Kurusu was cute?”
Once I put it into words, I can’t help but think so.
I can only see it as a cute creature.
I shouldn’t be conscious of her as someone of the opposite gender, but no matter what I do, I’m drawn to that smile.
“Arata, did you just say something?”
“……No, it’s nothing.”
Just then, a white cat came near me.
I stroked the cat and breathed a sigh of relief.
