Omae o Otaku ni Shiteyaru kara, Ore o Riajuu ni Shitekure!:Volume 9 Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Next day. I went home with Azuki-chan for three consecutive days. Today we are inside a fast food place.

"So, this weekend I will have a part-time job on Saturday ... are you listening, Naoki?"

I was looking at Azuki sitting across me, remembering the excitement I felt when the cat got into her maid costume.

"... Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard you,"

"Our first holiday date!" Looking at her, she still looks cute while being angry.

"So, Naoki, how about you?"

"Oh, I ... ...."

When I opened my cell phone schedule, the next Sunday was not good.

"Sunday, I have my part time job ... ...."

"Well then, we can’t go on a date this weekend ...."

"What? How about Saturday!"

"I already said I have my part-time job on Saturday! You didn’t hear me!"

She works in…Tsukai Byte, a maid cafe. I imagine her in that erotic maid outfit being ogled at by others... it’s annoying me

"Naoki, what with that scary face?"

"Oh no, nothing... ... Well, then, next week? I am not going to have any work next week."

"Well, next week ...... Saturday I have plans to go with my friends, but Sunday is vacant!"

"Well then let's go somewhere next Sunday!"

I just take out the magazines I put in my bag and spread it on the table. "" Tokyo Couples Date Navi "......? Naoki, this is ......" It was a magazine in which Tokyo's date spot was posted. I bought it at a local bookstore on the way home from Azuki - chan’s house yesterday.

"I checked that we could go even yesterday! Also, there is a lot of recommended Christmas dating spots here! Let's decide where I will go!"

I opened the magazine with a dopey face and showed it to Azuki. When I came back from Azuki’s house and thought about what I could do for Azuki - chan to become a better boyfriend. While thinking about various things, I remembered being told by a certain person that the "Dating course should be decided by a man”, which is why I dared to buy the magazine. I thought it was convenient because there were lots of people over here than on the internet.

"Wow, you bought that?" Azuki sees the magazine gladly. It was good, I am glad that ... ... It was worth investigating.

"Oh, there is a page with a fold, you checked it?"

"Oh yeah! Christmas, it is good to go see the Christmas lights like a couple! We can go to Tokyo Station or Omotesando. We can see the Christmas lights and I even have money to go to ... a theme park or the amusement park! We have not been to an amusement park yet! Azuki, what do you want to do, where do you want to go? "

"Naoki....this is awesome ... ..." Azuki is looking at me with a surprised expression as I talk hotly while reading the pages of the special Christmas date feature page.

"But why suddenly put yourself up like this ...?"

"I cannot go to your home for a while, so we will date out? I thought that I should look at various ways to be together! "

"No, Naoki ... I am so happy ...!!" Azuki-chan looks at me as if she was moved.

"Oh, Christmas Please think about what I want now! I recently made some money, so I think that I can buy you a wonderful gift! "

"Err ... um ... yeah ... that's fine, gifts ... ___ ___ 0”

"No, no! I'm got a lot from my birthday, so many things! Really please do not hold back and say what you want!"

"Naoki ...." After saying, I looked at Azuki's reaction. I have zero experience and I don’t have anything much to offer Azuki-chan, so I have to work hard. I do not want Azuki-chan to be disappointed I me. If Azuki-chan sees the true miserable form of me, she may be disappointed ....that is what is worrying me now.

Oh, I'm glad I got advice from that person in the past. I remember her advice and it should be okay if I do my best. In fact, I still want to consult with that person, but now that the agreement relation has been dissolved, now I cannot consult her hear any more....

"...... Hey, Naoki ... ... I'm very happy with your feelings very much ...." Azuki starts talking with a smile that looks a little troubled.

"Yesterday Naoki, you told me that I was just fine as I am, didn’t you? I'm glad that you are doing your best but please don’t overdo it? You are OK enough as you are, right? " Azuki told me such things with a smiling like the Virgin Mary while holding my hand with both her hands

"Oh, Azuki-chan ......" Her smile was shining beautifully. ...... After all she may be a real goddess .... I seriously thought about such a thing. Oh, it's my girlfriend's is really the ideal girlfriend. She said that that I, as I am, is enough for her....

"So, I do not really care about the presents, etc. On Christmas, let's think about where to go! Also, I am looking forward to the next Sunday's date! If I am with Naoki, I can go anywhere!"

"Oh, yeah ...!"

"But this magazine is very useful as reference for date for the future ...hmmm? What is this fold in the back page… “?

"Ooooooooooooooooooo!"

Azuki discovers the fold on the page behind and tries to grab the magazine using full power.

"What?! ... ...! Naoki, what are you suddenly ...?!"

"Well, oh well .... Well, I made a mistake in making that crease, ahaha...." While sweating a lot on my forehead, I desperately tried to get the magazine back into the bag.

"What are you hiding? What was on that page?"

"No, nothing!"

"Baka! Why did you make a crease...!"

At the back of that magazine ... ... what it was, since this is a couples’ oriented magazine, a hotel’s information together with night's activities was listed on it. Oh, and it was close to the place! The price is cheap here! Do your best to go! ...... I thought while swallowing up my delusions and I was reading the magazine last night with great excitement, but I was unconsciously making a crease.

"It that was a page you don’t want me to see don’t make an obvious mark like that!"

The next day.

December started today. Outside has freezing cold weather, but recently my heart is always warm thanks to Azuki. (What are you talking about....) For the moment, I noticed that I was completely forgetting something because my head was full of her for the first time with such a feeling.

"Koigasaki"

After school, I'm reading a magazine at my desk, I call out.

"Hmm?"

I move my eyes from magazines to her, and gave Koigasaki an appropriate answer. By the way, my fear of talking to this person in the classroom is gone. I used to get nervous in the past, but ... I may be more confident in myself than before ... ... maybe ....

It is the time since I cried and Azuki said "Congratulations" to me a couple of days ago to exchange words with her. It's almost three days in the past, but I do not know why I'm still afraid of talking with her after all this time. Nothing has not changed except that we dissolved the agreement relation, it is supposed that our friendship will remain unchanged..... I feel like something heavy was lifted from my mind in the last few days. Perhaps, I am thinking too much.... I feel that I will be able to speak more freely before .... I feel a lot of nostalgia at that time. I still think that I would like things to be like that.... Koigasaki kept silent and looked at my face and started talking.

"Your....hairstyle looks well enough today, and recently, you are doing your best, aren’t you?"

"Ehh......! Seriously ...... !?"

Oooh, I am being praised! It was worth the 30 minutes for setting your hair style! I worked hard on my hairstyle everyday ever since I went out with Azuki-chan. Of course the reason is because I want to look cool for her.

"So, what?"

Koigasaki praised me for one moment only, then spoke in an incomprehensible tone.

"Oh well...how are you doing with the novel?"

For a moment, I wondered the topic should be discussed only after moving to the roof or somewhere else, but as it is about the writing of the novel of creation, it is not Otaku talk so we can discuss it here. I still think it is necessary to hide my being an Otaku.

... That's right. I completely forgot about the matter of this creative doujinshi's manuscript. Even though Murasaki asked me to help.... Since I saw the story a week ago, I never saw anything else....it is the first time in a week that the novel topic came up. Was it that I forgot or was it Koigasaki?

I wonder why she did not call me out. She said she will show me the synopsis after she is finished. I wonder if the outline has been written, yet?

"Oh ... .... Yeah, I finished writing the synopsis, so I started writing the novel now"

"You said you would show the outline to me before you start writing the novel."

"Eh……"

Koigasaki for a moment, looked awkward.

"... No ... ... you seemed to be busy ... ...."

"Huh……?"

I was busy? Me? The only thing if I can think of recently is going out with Azuki-chan..... Perhaps, this is her meaning of me being too busy?

"Well, if you are doing well so far, my advice may not be necessary any more, but ..." While receiving a slight shock that my cooperation may not be needed, she should be able to write with her own power. I wonder......

"I don’t know if it is going well ... there are plenty of places that I think I could use your help.... Well then, I will bring the manuscript tomorrow, so why don’t you look at it? You can give me advice then."

"Ohhh, oh! Of course!" I was pleased to be relied on by Koigasaki.

Even without talking about the novel, I wish we could speak normally...... Was she still refraining because Azuki-chan and I started dating? Why does she have hold back like that... it was fun talking to her like this, just like the way we used to. Although I want to be... anyway, it won’t work. Why you are you refraining? I felt sad.

".................."

"What, what ... ... If you have something to say, say it clearly.”

"Oh, no ... ...."

How should I say it? ‘Please don’t be shy and let’s talk just like before’… I can’t say it.

To be honest, I wonder how Suzuki and her boyfriend is doing now, I am worried ... ... I have no idea whether I can ask after our agreement relationship has been dissolved.

"By the way, you are being Azuki-chan’s boyfriend properly?"

While I was thinking, Koigasaki asked me

"eh!?"

"You used what I taught before, right?”

"Oh, ah ... ... It feels strange calling her by her first name since we are dating..." Changing the way we call each other’s names did not surprise her.

"Well, it doesn’t matter now! Azuki-chan's Christmas gift, what do you think is good? I thought that games based on Azuki's favorite animation or an anime DVD would be best but..." But wait, if Azuki-chan likes to play games, is it Otome gay or BL gay? Can a man give his girlfriend a 2D man as a gift? Even though it is 2D, I am not very happy. Giving a BL gift, gives me conflicting feelings...... No, I do not mind that I am buying it myself.

"............ Eh, ......Haa! Games for Christmas gifts!? DVD!? You're seriously saying that?" Koigasaki listens to my remarks and begins to blame me with a surprised appearance.

"......!"

How long ago have you called me out this strongly? You were like this when we hadour agreement. Somehow this sure feels nostalgic.

"... What is wrong with you?"

"Well, what is wrong, then?"

I am being cursed and I am rejoicing. I am hopeless.

"So why is it not good to give a game or a DVD?

"..... Ha ha.... I thought you will give a handmade gift but this is no good at all ... You don’t know anything! Your first present should be...since its Christmas, it should be something that sets the mood for it. A nice gift from a boyfriend could be a fashion accessory and so on! For Azuki, a necklace or a ring is good. Or you can buy something in pairs for couples!"

"......! Well, certainly, those are certainly better than giving games as gifts...!" Oh, it was nice for her to talk to me this way! Since I don’t know anything, I might have bought BL Games or whatever! Seeing that I am convinced, Koigasaki looks amazed.

"Ha ha ... ... I'm worried about the future ... I hope Azuki-chan does not get exhausted having to put up with you...... Also, your hair has grown quite long?"

"...yes...!"

"So you will go to a barber?"

"I don’t understand ..."

"Where will you have it cut?"

"Local hairdresser...."

I decided that my hair would grow and have it cut it there. Okaa-san brings Akari there as the place is reasonably priced.

"Well, I guess it's time go to a more fashionable hairdresser ... ... How about you, where do you go for your haircuts? Can you show me...."

"...Ha ha ... why should I introduce you to my hairdresser ...I can’t help you. Don’t forget, our agreement is already dissolved even though I still helped you with your Christmas present as you are so bad at picking one."

"Ugh..."

Finally, I was told ... ... the thing I was afraid of... Ha ... I guess she absolutely wants to get rid of our agreement...I hate it, but ... even if I told her my feelings, she would not change her mind about dissolving our agreement....

"Kashiwada ~! You got her!?"

Then someone suddenly hugged Koigasaki hugged from behind. It was Sasagawa Miki, a friend of Koigasaki.

"Miki, you’re heavy ..."

"Oh, oh, yeah ... ...." Even though she is embarrassed, she said it.

"And it looks like a super cute girl!"

"Ah ... ... well, well ......"

Sasagawa is a friend of Koigasaki, so she doesn’t mind talking to me, but I still feel slightly nervous around her.

"What have you been up to now?"

"!?!?" Sasagawa's unexpected question almost made me blow out. What is with this person! Is she really a woman!?

"Oh!" Still hugging Koigasaki, she elbowed my belly repeatedly.

"Miki, don’t be so vulgar" Koigasaki tried to help me...... But is she suddenly looking sick?

"As expected of Kashiwada ... It's been a while ... have you done it?"

"Whaaa!"

I remember what happened with Azuki the day before yesterday and I am shaking. I was excited at that time. Even now I still can’t sleep.

"Uwa! You're getting super red, Kashiwada! Seriously! From that reaction, have you already done that?"

"That’s different ... ...."

At this time, I tried to deny the words of Sasagawa.

"Gahaha ......I’m so happy!! I do not know, peach!"

Suddenly, Koigasaki took a head shot at Sasagawa. Then Koigasaki was exhausted, pulling off the body of Sasagawa from her, and started walking away from us.

"..... Koigasaki...?"

"Your conversation is too serious"

"Peach ~ Wait, wait!"

Where are you going...? How did this conversation between the three of us become uncomfortable for her? Her attitude feels a little childish... anyway....

Later, when I tried to go home with Azuki….

"... ...!"

Hasegawa and I suddenly came face to face. I am uncomfortable...The face of Hasegawa, this is the first time I have seen her in a few days.

"............"

Looking at my stupid face...... Hasegawa kept silent. Somehow...... I feel it was my fault.... It was me who diverted his eyes as a result of being unable to withstand the meeting. I went past Hasegawa and left the classroom. ...... I wonder if this is going to be like this for Hasegawa for the rest of the year? Not long ago ... As a friend, we were able to talk happily and go out together somewhere ... ... Now, that sounds like a lie. Even though Hasegawa said that I was "an irreplaceable and valued person ...".

It was not anyone but I myself ... that created such a situation....

Of course I do not think I would like to go out with Hasegawa anymore. Azuki is now the one I like the most. However, ... I really did not want to be estranged with Hasegawa this way. I want to return to our previous relationship where we were friends. I want us to be able to speak casually. I am also worried about the problem of the family of Hasegawa and I would like to hear from her.

"Oh, Naoki! You came pick me up at the classroom! ... What happened, something seems not right...?"

"Well ... it’s nothing ... ...."

Saturday after two days.

Today I was at Umesanto’s fancy hair salon.

"How do you feel today?"

"Ehh, um ... ... make it a bit shorter overall ... .... Oh, please make it a fashionable hairstyle!"

To my remarks, the hairdresser is laughing. I made embarrassing remarks.....Do I sound desperate? I was not able to make Koigasaki introduce me to a hairdresser so I asked Suzuki instead. Suzuki seems to be going to a hairdressing salon where her sister's acquaintance is doing, so he said that it would be cheaper if he introduced me. It was good to consult with Suzuki, as it was supposed to help lower my expenses. Yesterday, Koigasaki brought the outline of the novel she wrote and also the manuscript to school and gave it to me, but said that after reading it, to send my advice through e-mail then left. Although she didn’t look angry wind, I was concerned she was in a bad mood.

After I finished reading everything, I sent my comments and advice by e-mail, and a cheerful reply "Thank you, okay" came. What is with her attitude at school ... what the hell is that guy. Did I make him conscious, such as to offend him? I do not remember doing anything at all....

"Thank you for your hard work ~ How do you like it!?"

It seems that the haircut has ended while I was thinking, and the hairdresser spoke to me.

"..... It is a good feeling!"

While I was being damped and cut, I hardly looked at the mirror. When I looked at it again, it looked like a good hair style. I feel like I'm different from what I usually do with a hairdresser. It was worth coming to Umesanto on a holiday. Walking to Harajuku station, I met someone.

"Oh, Kashii, you just had a haircut!"

Waving a hand to me with a smile was ... Suzuki. It's been a while since I have seen Suzuki in private clothes (last time was when I visited him at his home), he is stylish as ever. Jeans dabbled on a navy P coat, feet wearing fashionable gray sneakers. His bag is a backpack but it is something obviously different…it looks more fashionable (I do not know exactly what is different though).

Speaking of myself, I bought my clothes on Amazon during this time, a black cardigan on a gray shirt that was once praised by Koigasaki before the party, some jeans underneath, so far this is good ... but on top of that, I was wearing a cheesy black down jacket wearing from junior high school, to fend off the cold. Because of the cold, I have to wear a coat or a jacket. It can’t be helped, but this is the only jacket fit for today's temperature. Everything is ruined because of this fuzzy jacket. Such a fashionable guy and I was ashamed to walk next to him.

"Suzuki, sorry for bothering you today ... ...."

"No, no, but what happened suddenly? You want me to take you to the clothes shop that I always go to ..."

I was planning to have Suzuki introduce me to a nice clothes shop today, as I was planning to buy some. As it became impossible for me to rely on Koigasaki, I was thinking of borrowing the power of a fancy and handsome guy like Suzuki here. Even though I went to Hanjiro with Koigasaki before, the thought of going alone and failing is hanging over me. I have failed several times before so I do not want to repeat the same mistakes.

"No, that ... ... in fact ..."

While walking around the streets of Harajuku, I reported my circumstances to Suzuki.

"What?! Seriously?"

Somehow this person seems not to be interested in love, so I thought he won’t be that interested – but I was surprised about Suzuki’s unexpected reaction to my remarks.

"What? Someone in school! Who ......"

"Sakurai Azuki from D class... you know her?"

"Sakurai ... ... I do not know her"

I felt that Suzuki was talking about something different, what was it? ……whatever.

"Can you describe her…"

"Eh, um ... ... she is cute ......her style is nice ... .... Oh, she is an Otaku and not rotten.... a really good child ......" ...... What nostalgia is this!

"Wow ~! If she is also an Otaku, it might be fine to meet up,that was good, congratulations!"

"Oh, ah ... ... thanks...."

"I came here for something else, but I got something more, it seems..."

"Oh ... .... So, you are ..."

I can’t hear from Koigasaki so I have to casually listen to this guy.... Because I already have a wonderful girlfriend called Sakurai Azuki, I was not supposed to be shocked to ask how that Koigasaki and Suzuki were.... Even if Koigasaki and Suzuki are going out with each other........ No... Oh, it is no use ... Even though I imagined for a moment, I am totally shocked.... I'm useless.... I should have no feelings for Koigasaki, that should be the case ... Because both Koigasaki and Suzuki are my friends, it’s just a shock...... Yes, that's all ... no serious reason. ...... There can’t be more that.

"......Kashii? Suddenly your face became dark...."

"Oh no, no! ... Well, since I decided on a holiday date, I need fashionable winter clothes. I need to borrow your stylish power... "

I avoided asking Suzuki about Koigasaki. Next time ... there will be another opportunity.

"Oh, I see. I am not that fashionable, but I guess I'll show you the shop I always go though."

"Oh, I will take your advice! Because I do not want her to be disappointed on our first date, I want to dress fashionably! I brought some money today, I want to buy a whole outfit! I am just a fashion beginner, so I'm strange, please tell me Master! " As I can no longer rely on Koigasaki, there is only this guy I can depend on.

"Seriously? Haha ... ... well OK... Well then for now, we will buy coat, bags and shoes buying today"

"Eh! Coat and bag and shoes!?"

"Yeah, I think your pants are good, and it would be better if we can get the coat, bags and shoes to match."

"... ... Hmm, I see. ...."

The bag that I have today is just a dirty black body bag. My shoes were purchased before summer vacation, shoes with sharp points.... I understand what my shoes did not match my clothes, but I only have only sneakers such as Dan ● and ● Emperor that I wore in middle school and school loafers.

Under the guidance of Suzuki, the first place we went was a store named "WEGO" on Takeshita Street.

"I often come here? It's cheap and recommended" As soon as I entered the store, I checked the price of clothes. Three thousand yen for knit ... .... Oh, this is within budget!

"Dude! It's pretty cheap!" I am impressed by seeing the price of clothes I liked. I was anticipating higher prices so I was excited to see fashionable clothes with cheap prices!

"Since we just came, it’s better not buy any yet ... Why don’t you decide after looking around?" I was holding 3 items in my hands when Suzuki stopped me.

"Oh, ah ... ... That's right ..." For the time being we decided to go to the second store. After passing through Takeshita Street, crossing the main street, turning and walking a bit, we arrived at a store called "BEAMS".

"I think the place is pretty good because it's a select shop!"

"Select Shop? What is that?"

A question mark appears on my head. Oh, I wonder if this question is for beginners in fashion.

"Ehh ... ... These shops deals in various brands, not just items from one brand, so you can see products of various brands in just one store."

"Well ...that's convenient."

Anyway, I took a stylish looking shirt and checked the price. 12 thousand yen......! Although it is certainly wonderful, I think that I would go over my 30,000 yen budget today, so it may be expensive for a single item.... After looking around the shop, we next went to a store called "Ciaopanic" in the same street. Suzuki said that this was also a "select shop", and there were many very fashionable clothes inside. There were more affordable clothes than "BEAMS", but somewhat more expensive than "WEGO" which I saw the first time.

"Kashii, why not look at the shoes here? There are quite a few brands"

"Oh, ah ... ... Is that so ...... then ... ...."

While receiving advice from Suzuki, I chose a pair of white sneakers, after suffering for a while.The price is over ten thousand, but I like it the most and Suzuki also said the style is nice, so I decided a pair.

"Oh, they’re also selling clutch bags. I can’t buy it now, I'm out of money.... Kashii do you want to buy this?"

"Oh ......? A clutch bag ......?"

I see the "clutch bag" that Suzuki is showing. To be honest, it is the first time I heard of the word. There were no shoulder straps attached, it was a bag with a simple design.

"Huh ... ... now these are popular......while they are certainly fashionable, but if I carry one around I'm sure to leave it somewhere for sure..."

I decided not to get a "clutch bag" for some fickle reasons and purchased only sneakers for the time being. We then returned to the store "WEGO" where we went first. While listening to Suzuki’s advice, I bought a gray duffle coat (9,000 yen), and a black backpack with studs (8,000 yen).

I was surprised that it fell within my budget of 30,000 somehow. There were actually some items I also wanted, but I will endure it until the next payday. Anyway, I have plans to buy something big after this. That, of course, my Christmas present for her.

"Well, I was saved ......Thank you very much, Suzuki"

"Not at all ... What would you like to do this after this?"

"Oh yeah ... since I bothered you today, will you come with me today?"

"Well, seriously! I will go!"

It was still early, so I decided to move to my house and play. By the way, it is the first time to bring Suzuki at home.

"I'm home"

"Do not bother me"

"Okay... what?" When I went up to the entrance and opened the door to the living room ... there, my sister is playing a game on DS on the sofa. She was surprised to see Suzuki.... By the way my sister always wore a T-shirt over her other clothes since it got cold.

"Oh, this, my friend Suzuki"

"Hello~"

"This is my sister Akari."

"He…he…Hello ...!!"

It seems that Akari is greatly surprised by Suzuki's appearance. ...... he looked like a famous voice actor or something like that. Well, it figures since Suzuki is a handsome guy... Akari is rarely surprised by such things. Looks like Akari likes Suzuki’s looks.....? With such a situation like this, I did not talk but grabbed a PS 3 in the living room.

"It is unusual for Naoki to bring a male friend home!"

For some reason, Akari is preparing to start a game by herself. As I was happy, that she was doing so and was talking to him. Why did it feel different when I brought Koigasaki here to my place; I started to feel bad at first, but ... What is this difference!?

"Rather, have not you brought one since you entered high school?" While preparing, she unexpectedly looked back at me and laughed and grinned and said such a thing. Oh, Akari, stop it, you’re making me smile...... Suzuki, is guessing that I do not have other male friends! ... But it’s good to have a good buddy to bring home....

"Well, that's right! Well then, I am the first? I am happy ~"

"Huh!"

Suzuki's remarks surprised me and I blew out... but somehow it was right. While blushing, I'm seeing Suzuki's face in a shocking appearance.

"Oh, Suzuki ... Do not say that.... My sister is joking."

"Eh, what's wrong, Kashii?"

"..... Ha, ha.... Naoki have something in secret...."

"Akari, what are you saying?"

"No, whatever ...... Yes, I set the game."

The title screen of the game is displayed on the television.

"...... !?"

What it shows was not a bassara, but a BL game like PS2's light, "Nagara” The title screen of the dog's “boner" was displayed.

"Akari! What are you doing!?"

"It is funny ~, I made a mistake ..."

"How can you make a mistake between PS2 and PS3! Did you do that on purpose?"

"But don’t you want to try this game? It's super fun... ...."

"No we don’t! Prepare Basara quickly!"

Akari begins preparing the PS3's Basara with a reluctant expression. I went to the kitchen in the meantime to prepare sweets and juice and returned to the living room ... ... Akari and Suzuki were talking.

"Are you on good terms with my brother?"

"Yeah, we are on good terms. It is my first time coming over Kashii's house, but he often plays in my house."

"... ....! At your home......! Ho ho ho, I see ... ...."

My younger sister who seemed excited after hearing Suzuki's remarks. ... ... Akari seem to be highly interested in Suzuki.... Damn, that fujioshi sister of mine. Eventually the game starts. Suzuki was staring at the back of Akari, stands up and goes to the toilet. A state of anxiety takes over me.

"Oh do you ... ... Well do you like Akari...?" Unexpectedly, I asked Suzuki aloud. I don’t want to! I don’t want to be an older brother in law! I do not trust Akari with such a lolicon!

"……Huh?"

"Yes! Certainly she is so cute and is so small just like elementary school students, but a loli ...there are many problems in the future…. the future must be stopped...!"

"... .... Haha Kashii likes his sister, doesn’t he?"

"Ha! what, what ...!?"

Suddenly being told unexpected things, I am suddenly upset. I am afraid for Akari...? What, what.... Simply I worried just like a brother....

"Do not worry, I'm safe because I only like 2D girls!"

Oh, the voice actor can differentiate between 2D and 5D! Suzuki said so in a serious face as well. I feel confident that he is not interested in Akari. I see, he was not looking at Akari with such eyes.... It would have been my immediate death.... Ha, that was good.....

Oh, well, since he is seeing Koigasaki now, he doesn’t have eyes on other girls...?

"No ... ... something like Kashii's sister, she smells like my older sister...." Suzuki says with distant eyes.

"Huh……?"

Speaking of Suzuki's older sister, a super-class groovy girl ... smells like my younger sister.... ...... No way, she also had a strange fantasy between me and Suzuki...... Oh, I suppose that I do not like Suzuki like that, that is what I mean by that! By the way, she is someone who mercilessly plots 3D as a story of her BL delusion. My rotten sister without that bending! ...!

"Oh, but that's true, Azuki is also a girl, girl."

"Hey, that's right ... ..." And that reminds me, Azuki also had a strange delusion of me and Suzuki ... Well, I told her I can’t….

"... ... is that ... ... ...?"

We noticed Akari was standing in front of the toilet. She seems to have heard our conversation, and she has a surprised expression.

"Naoki ... Who is she ... ...?"

Walking one step at a time to our place, Akari asks me with a rough expression.

"Oh no, that ... ...."

Speaking of which, I have not told her yet .... I was thinking what should I say....

"She......is...!?"

"...What......does Akari know......!"

"Oh, err ... .... I brought her here before, Sakurai Azuki ... ...."

"... ...!! Why did Akari become silent!?"

Akari, while crying loudly, rushes up the stairs.

"Hey, hey ... ... Akari!?"

Ignoring my voice, Akari rushed into her room and made a loud noise and banged her door.

"Wh, what is with her...?"

"Kashii, don’t you want to chase her?"

"Why should I ... ... OK, just let us leave her alone for a while ..."

What is it with Akari? Why did she suddenly act like that? We played with games for a while, and Suzuki went home as it got dark.

"Will you make it up with your sister?"

"Oh, ok... ...."

Even though I agreed with Suzuki, but I said to myself ... I did not quarrel with her.... After delivering Suzuki to the way to the station and returning home, I went to Akari’s room.

"Oi Akari, how long will you stay angry?"

"............"

There is no reply.

"Hey, Akari?"

............ Oh no, I quit! I haven’t done anything wrong, so I am not at fault here.

The next day at noon, there was a customer in the karaoke shop.

"Good morning ... ...."

"......! Good morning"

Seeing the person who came, I made a stinky face. It was an idol Watanabe. Oh, why am I with this person again today ...? I checked the shift schedule. Today, there should be one more employee in the kitchen, but this guy will be up front......!

"Mr. Takahashi, seems that he could not come today because of a cold ... Well the two of us can run this place, it seems the store manager did not put in a reliever"

"Well, that's right ...... relievers are hard to find relievers for Sundays..."

The only conversation I can make concerns only work, I can’t talk about private matters with this person. For us workers, for today we will manage somehow, but it’s hard under this rather awkward air and is more dangerous. Even though it is a funny thing, we still respect each other.

"............"

No guests are coming so I am free to watch idol Watanabe. Wow, she’s fiddling with her phone while on duty ... .... Well, as usual she doesn’t feel like talking to me... Well, that's good, but ... .... With this awkward air, some customers arrived...... A familiar face came in the store.

"Naoki, thanks for your hard work ~!"

"eh……!?"

Azuki and Koigasaki came.

"Wow, I was surprised ... ... suddenly coming here ... ...."

"I thought, let's keep silent and surprise you... ... was it annoying?"

"No, no ... ... I'm happy but ..."

It was a nice surprise as I thought that I could not meet her during this holiday.

"Ah, let’s go inside already…."

Koigasaki saw us and said that with an annoyed appearance. Of course, as I am familiar with her, I think it is not really bad.

"Momo-chan ...... I told Momo-chan ‘I wanted to see Kashiwada today but I can’t’ so she suggested coming here... "."

"Thank you, Koigasaki ......"

What a friend, this person.... really cheering for us ... ....

"Huh Naoki, you have your hair cut!? It's really cool!"

"Oh, oh, ah ... ... thanks for noticing..."

It looks like Azuki is shy when she is being praised, but she is not shy in praising somebody else. Noticing us, idol Watanabe stared. Our cuddly conversation is heard clearly and it is embarrassing ... .... Besides, it seems to look like being distracted at work....

"Oh, well ... ... is doing karaoke today OK?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"Well how many hours?" I showed the room and saw two people heading to the room.

When the two who left, I will be alone with Idol Watanabe. An awkward silence. I was watching this person just a while ago ...

"Well she was -"

"……eh!?"

I was surprised to be suddenly spoken to by Idol Watanabe and I gave a loud voice.

"She's the black-haired one, right?" Watanabe Aya’s voice is usually high pitched when she is talking to a man…. she surprised me by using her normal voice in her question.

"Well, that's right... but why ...?!"

"I saw her several times walking at the next station"

"Well seriously ...!!! Ugh ...... !?"

When I was with Azu-chan, she was watching her...!

"I'm a bit upset too, my face is really red ... I can get serious ~!" Watanabe Aya brings up thelong sleeve her clothes that hides up to the fingers (so-called Moe sleeve guy) to her mouth and smiles coquettishly.

"No, no, don’t be upset! I would be surprised if you suddenly talked to me for the first time...!”

I can’t afford to pretend, I said the words in my heart.

"Well, even ... ... if Kashiwagi says something sullen, he still always has a savory aura. Because of this, I will not be hesitant to speak to him. "

"Kashiwagi! Well, my name is not Kashiwagi, it’s Kashiwada!"

"Oh, sorry." Please apologize. This person, after working together for months, did not remember my name! ...... I mean, I'm already nervous talking to Aya... Is she serious ......

That's why I was afraid to talk (mainly to girls) until now ... ...! Was that me making a wall... ...? Certainly, my inner feeling decided that I could not be able to get along with these guys ... but does it show in my face and attitude...?

"No, no.....girls, especially pretty girls, I am not used to talking to them.... only just recently I was getting used to that a bit .... I meant that I was putting out such an aura for that .... "

"Ehh, so now you can talk to pretty girls like me?"

"... ...!! Ha! Please do not say that!"

What is this woman !?

"It's just a reaction, you’re too serious ~"

Watanabe Aya burst out laughing. ...... This is completely stupid .... Then the front telephone rings.

"Yes, this is the front desk."

"Oh, Naoki, I'd like to order drinks ...." Azuki ordered drinks for two people.

My chat with Aya Watanabe stops here, as I prepared drinks in the kitchen, bring it to the room where Azuki is.

"Thank you for waiting ~"

When I entered the room, they were talking while choosing songs.

"............"

Two people suddenly became silent after I the drinks on the table.

"Wh, what is it !?"

"I did not know that such a cute little girl was working here! ... Ayukan-chan."

".... wait a little bit, Momo!"

"eh……!?” Azuki-chan, that is ...!

Suddenly Koigasaki rose from the sofa.

"I will be out for a bit; I want to wash my hands"

"Eh!? Momo-chan!"

Leaving us a bit in an awkward air, Koigasaki leaves the room quickly and went to the bathroom. Koigasaki...... Did she leave on purpose!?

"Azuki-chan ... Please don’t be concerned about that ...?" Looking at the face of Azuki-chan, she turns red and looks at me awfully.

"Besides, I do not care about another ..."

That's right... ... Don’t be jealous of me and idol Watanabe ...? Earlier I did not notice such a thing at all. She is jealous ...... I am quite happy!

"No .... Today is the first time for me to be alone with that girl, it was just today that there is no other employee! Besides, we don’t get along at all, although we finally talked properly today! Anyway, you have no need to worry at all ... " In order to reassure Azuki-chan, I said everything that I can think of.

"No, Naoki ...... I am not worried at all! Maybe ... just a little ..." Azuki shyly smiled a little.

"But ... thank you ... for trying your best to reassure me ..."

"Oh, Azuki-chan ......" My cheeks were red and I thanked her for her words. Oh, how cute she is ....

Besides, I am now with a cute girl in a dark, closed room ... ... and my heart rate goes up. I'm so happy to be working here. While looking at Azuki while thinking such a foolish thing, she also gazes at my eyes.... Now if you stare at me like that ... ....

".................."

In silence, we stare at each other. I was having problems with keeping my wits. When you are alone in a closed room, you like it, as I remembered what happened in Azuki's house last time. One more step and kiss ... I guess I am able to do it now. Azuki was also closing her eyes, so it would be okay .... Oh, I want to kiss her ... .... Even now, I get a little closer ... .... A little closer…….

Then I heard the door of the room opening. Hurriedly turning around, I saw the surprised face of Koigasaki.

"Oh ......! Cha, Kashiwada and Azuki-chan, don’t do weird things ..." Koigasaki told out terrible things with a pale face.

"Ohhhhhhhh! I did not do anything!"

I was in a hurry to deny. No, I just thought that I wanted to kiss, I did not really plan on doing it! ... .... Maybe ... ....

"Oh, that’s it, Momo!"

Even after we deny it, Koigasaki still seemed a little doubtful, but for the time being, she seems to be convinced. Fu ... ... I was saved.

"Yeah, I have to get back."

I realize that I have spent too much time in this room.

"Yeah, do your best at work!"

After nodding at Azuki 's words with a smile, I rushed out of the room and returned to work. ...... Ha, that was dangerous, my reasoning ... .... I can hardly do my job after this, thanks to Azu - chan ....

When I returned to the front desk, Aya Watanabe, who seemed to be free because no other customers came, was fingering her the cell phone.

"............"

She found me unconsciously staring at her.

"……what?"

"No, no, I thought you had a heard something...."

"Even if I'm not busy ... more than that, how did you get along with such a cute girl?"

"Oh ... oh, that is from the other side ..."

"Really~!?" ...... After that, Aya asked me a lot of things about Azuki-chan ...... I have my hands full of Aya Watanabe. But, to be honest, I was happy to be able to speak to a cute girl at work other than Mr. Yamamoto. Azuki and Koigasaki came to work, that triggered Watanabe Aya to call out to me... I should thank the two of them ...

"Thank you for coming to visit me earlier! I joked but I was happy. Next week, I'm looking forward to our date (* ^ - ^ *) "

I sent the email to Azuki - chan after going home.

"I'm home"

"Welcome back~"

As I came home, the Okaa-san sitting on the sofa was looking at me while grinning.

"What’s with this...."

"You, you got her!"

"How, how did you know that ...?!?"

"I asked Akari, Mama is so happy ~"

Ah .... Akari you snitch!

"So ... What about Akari?"

"She ran to her room as she heard you came back. Did you quarrel again?"

She's still angry .... what a troublesome little sister ... .... I have no choice but to go up the stairs to Akari’s room.

"Oi Akari, what’s happening to you?"

...... There was no reply.

"Are you upset or angry about keeping her a secret from you?"

Recently, I do not understand and this time I guess I am a little mad .... It is frustrating because the older brother is acting stupid before his sister. Suddenly the door opens.

"Whaaa...!"

There, Akari stood staring at me with an amazed face.

"...... If you are angry about what I kept secret ... ... I think I'm bad for once ... ... Because she was also your acquaintance, I thought I could not say it ... but I was looking for the right time to say ... "

"No ... I am not angry"

"……Huh!?"

Akari said with a tremendously sullen face. Your words and expressions are not meshing.

"Why are you in such a bad mood, are you avoiding me?”

"I said I am not mad! I am not in a bad mood!"

"You’re Lying! You are obviously in a bad mood!! ... Tell me exactly what you do not like."

Akari is doing sitting on the bed, sitting and tightly holding the stuffed animal tightly. While lying down, I bit my lip with a face I feel bad.

"Hey, hey ... ... Akari ...?"

When she raised her, she stared at me sharply ... and squeezed out a voice as if she decided to do something.

"... .... Ah ... I ... nothing, Naoki ... ... I can’t accept her ... ... I hate it!" …………Huh?

"Wha ... what are you talking about, are you ...?" Akari’s sudden words made me think. I can’t accept her...? Now why did she say that? There is nothing wrong with my hearing ...

"... but ... even ... because of her .... we can no longer play games together, right?

"Oh, Akari ..."

In other words, ... Akari ...... Does she feel lonely ... what she will be separated from me? Does this person want to play with me as usual ...? Did she get angry because of this?

I never thought that Akari would say such pretty things. This is the first time I heard Akari saythis ...? She is ... very cute, isn’t she?

"Nothing, nothing will change ... even now"

"……Huh?"

"I will not change, I will still play games with you,"

"......! Na… Naoki ..."

Akari looked up at me with a look that looked a bit surprised.

"Really ... really?"

"Oh, of course,"

The expression of Akari lightens me up. If such a thing corrects the mood, it is cheap. I will play as many games as I can with her.

"Oh, that's right ... next time, I will bring Azuki-chan, so we can play games with three people!"

Pic P85

I brightly imagine Akari and Azuki-chan playing together in high spirits. However……. Akari’s face fell after I suggested that we play with 3 people.

"... You’re so dense it makes me wanna puke!"

"... whaa… why ..."

"Play games with three people!" Naoki Baka! "

Akari pushed me and kicked me out of her room, then closed the door with abang. What, what’s with this person ...? It seemed as if she was in a good mood before then ... I can’t understand the feelings of my younger sister in puberty after all ....
