When we walk in the city, there are people, and me and Hinami-senpai walk amongst those ordinary people.
Yes, me and her are just high school students, just a man and a woman.
I thought I was walking normally thinking like that, but the …… reality was not so sweet.
It may have been strange to say that it wasn’t sweet, but there was something I hadn’t really thought about.
It’s the way people look at me, which I hadn’t paid attention to before.
I’ve come to realise how much attention I wasn’t supposed to get, as I usually go outside in sweats and a T-shirt I don’t really understand.
Yes, I buy a lot of stares when I walk with her.
Wherever I walk, I get stares from people I pass.
There are plenty of cute girls around, and it may be normal for their eyes to meet a little, but this was different.
It is said that the stakes are high, but when you are as beautiful as she is, it is shocking to think that it is possible to live a normal life without attracting attention, regardless of gender.
In fact, it’s a little shameful that I didn’t recognise her before Naoya told me about her, even though she’s so attractive, beautiful and has such a beautiful appearance.
I can’t say that my hobby is people-watching.
From now on, it would be a lie if I didn’t make watching anime somewhat of a hobby.
This is the first time I’ve felt the tremendous tension and the pressure with every step I take.
This is celebrity.
This is the life of a very beautiful person.
To be honest, I’m even questioning whether I’m allowed to be next to her.
“……Wow, that’s amazing.”
When my true feelings leaked out, Himami-senpai, who was walking next to me, looked at me for a moment. I felt a little awkward by the up-looking gaze directed at me by senpai, who was a head smaller than me, but I quickly looked ahead and muttered with a wry smile.
“….. I’m used to it by now, you know?”
“I’ll never get used to it. This kind of thing…Hinami-senpai is on the student council, so maybe she can used to it.”
“It’s not like I have a lot of leeway, right? I also have a private life that I want to protect.”
Hmph, Ishe snorted and puffed out her chest.
Her surprisingly large breasts, which are different from when she’s wearing a uniform, attract more attention.
“I’m sorry about that. It seemed like you had plenty of time, so it’s obvious.”
“I’m a human too. It’s only natural. Well… it’s surprising when you experience it.”
“Yes,…… I don’t think it’s right for me to be next to you.”
“It’s not that I don’t like you, obviously?”
“It’s not like that, but …… you see, you know…”
“?”
I muttered after a slight pause, losing the place to look at.
“I wondered if they thought it was a date.”
At that moment.
The figure of senpai, who was supposed to be walking next to me, suddenly disappeared from my sight, and when I turned around, I saw her standing still a few meters behind me, her spine stiff.
As soon as I saw that expression, I realised what I had just said too.
I had said it without thinking, so when I saw the look on senpai’s face, I could feel the blood draining from my veins at once.
Ah, I just said something crazy, didn’t I?
No matter how much she owes me, that was indeed too much to say. It’s not a date, it’s a chaperone. It’s not that kind of relationship between me and senpai.
I don’t have such devious thoughts either.
“Oh, no, no! I didn’t mean to say that. …… Sorry, it was just a figure of speech, It was just a figure of speech. ……”
“—Y-yes.”
“Yes,…… it was too rash.”
“No, it’s not that bad. …… I was simply surprised, I would say. I didn’t even know what a date was like …….”
“According to the way I look at it, it’s like today, but today is different because I’m being escorted as a thank-you. Haha …….”
I scratched the back of my head and put on a fake smile, and senpai murmured a little quietly, “I see.”
“Then, let’s go.”
“Yes”
If I don’t say things with care, I’ll give her the wrong impression.

It takes about five minutes to walk from the Sapporo Station Objet. We entered ESTA, a commercial building in front of the station. The building is a vibrant place with many shops inside, from sweets shops to electronics stores and clothing shops.
The game centre is on the ninth floor of the building, and as she rode up the escalator, Hinami-senpai was a little startled by the noise from the game centre, which she could gradually hear.
In the escalator, she tugged at my sleeve as I rode in front of her and muttered in a fearful manner
“Ah, umm… What is that noise?”
“Oh, it’s the sound of a game.”
“Are game noises this loud?”
“There are a lot of them. There are more than 100 games, from sound games to simulation games, from physical games to arcade games, so the sound is incredible.”
“Eh, a hundred?!”
“Well, it’s a whole floor, so yes, of course it is.”
“I’ve never heard ….. I thought it was the size of a convenience store.”
No, no, I was about to deny it, but the way she grabbed the sleeve of my clothes showed that she was serious. From the beginning, she looked like she didn’t know anything about game centers, but when I saw what she really didn’t know, I was impressed.
I was surprised at how differently people who live in and know a completely different world than I do have different impressions of it.
When I reached the ninth floor with her thinking like that on my back, her eyes had gone past the point of no return.
I didn’t know what she was thinking anymore, but her hands naturally converged on her chest, telling me what was going on inside her chest, and when she froze for a few seconds, only one word came out of her mouth. .
“– it’s amazing.”
I can’t send out more words of emotion and admiration.
It was a cheap comment from someone with excellent grades and a good brain on her shoulders, but it was a telling sign of the emotional turmoil.
And the cold-hearted princess, who was simply blushing and sniffling, was simply adorable.
“Hahaha. It’s fresh and pleasant to be surprised with a face like that.”
“W-Would you say I’m surprised…or should I say I’m simply surprised?”
“No, that’s surprise, is it?”
When I asked her, she turned her body, which had been standing still, to look around and shook her head, probably because she was excited.
“Surprised is a word used to describe the feeling of being shocked when you come across something unexpected. I was, well, surprised because I was shocked for a moment!”
“Oh, that’s not what it means?”
“It’s not the same! It’s …… no, after all, surprised might be the right word.”
As soon as I went around, senpai grumbled as if she had lost her confidence and immediately pulled my sleeve.
She pointed her finger and ran towards the UFO catcher, which was filled with sweets, as if she was curious about it.
“I-Is this the UFO catcher I’ve heard so much about?!”
“Yes, but haven’t you heard of it?”
“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen the …… real thing. It’s kind of amazing! No, no, but there is no UFO! I thought there was a UFO in the name …….”
“–“
To be honest, I couldn’t stand it either.
I couldn’t understand why she was paying attention to it, and I couldn’t help but burst out laughing because she didn’t have common sense.
What’s with the ‘UFO is missing’
That’s right, of course there are no UFOs. When I was overflowing with uncontrollable laughter while thinking, senpai looked at me, “Um…”.
“W-Why are you laughing?”
“Hahaha. I’m just saying that there is no such thing as ……UFOs. You are saying weird things.”
“….But I’m not saying anything strange.”
She shyly denies it, but it’s really unreasonable.
However, I felt bad for laughing any longer, so I took out 100 yen from my wallet and asked.
“–Hinami-senpai, do you want to do it?”
Then, senpai shook her head with all her might, her eyes shining with a smile.
“….. I want to do it!!!”
Before long, forgetting about the thank-you, Senpai and I were just working hard on the UFO catcher.
