"Shidou-kun, what...... kind of girl is your type?" (Azusa)
"My type?" (Rintaro)
Putting the melon soda I was drinking on the table to calm down, I thought about the answer to the question Nikaido threw at me.
The type of girl I like, huh? To be honest, I had never thought about it.
First of all, I couldn't think of anyone I liked as the opposite sex. Maybe Hana-chan (vague), whom I used to play with in kindergarten? After elementary school, because of my mother's case, I no longer considered contact with the opposite sex to be that much fun. It was right around that time that I stopped having romantic feelings.
"Mmm...someone who has a pretty smile, I think." (Rintaro)
I managed to muster myself out of it and reply.
I was watching TV the other night, so I told the words I heard an actor had said that time.
Actually, "someone who will support me" would be added to the list, but as expected, the relationship between us is still too young to say this.
"Wh-what else!?" (Azusa)
"Else!?" (Rintaro)
What the h*ll is this lass? I've answered your question, so back off.
"Let's see......th-then, someone who I can rely on? I can't have a worry-free relationship with someone who is not going to carry the burden by herself when it's at a critical time, and who can say that she's in pain when she's in pain, I think?" (Rintaro)
For words I uttered so impulsively, they were unexpectedly honest.
The other person is in pain and suffering, but I, the partner, am oblivious to it and living comfortably. What kind of shameful situation is that?
At the very least, I would like to be able to talk to my partner about what is bothering her, and I would like to help if I can.
Of course, if it's something she doesn't want to talk about, she doesn't have to. But if she doesn't want to tell me because she thinks it will cause me trouble, then she should back off.
"That's...... pretty hard, isn't it?" (Azusa)
I looked at her and my eyes widen at the opinions that come out of her mouth.
It was just what I was thinking.
"Yeah, maybe. I'm not that good at relying on others myself." (Rintaro)
I understood that it's more rational to have a spirit of taking advantage of all that is available, but people can't be that way so easily.
"In the end, it will be difficult to talk only about preferences. Maybe the type of person you like isn't something that can be described on the spur of the moment." (Rintaro)
"Mm, that might be true." (Azusa)
Nikaido laughed happily.
Now it looked like we could get back to normal chit-chat. I could safely say that I'm out of a difficult situation now.
"We haven't ordered any food yet, have we? I'll treat you today. ——Though it's just a cheap family restaurant." (Rintaro)
"Eeh!? You don't have to do that! Rather, I came here with the intention of treating you......." (Azusa)
"It's no problem. It's just like a boy's natural instinct to act cool in front of a girl." (Rintaro)
"U-ummm......... if you say so." (Azusa)
Alright, if this had made a good impression on Nikaido, it was a small price to treat her at a family restaurant. Please, don't bring up the subject of Rei again. I'll treat you to another bowl of mi**no-style doria, if you want. (PTW/N: Milano-style Doria)
After ordering from the menu, we enjoyed our meal while chatting with each other.
Surprisingly, Nikaido seemed to like to talk, and the conversation centered around her. Her face breaks into smiles as she happily talks about her friends, Kakihara, Doumoto, and Nogi.
She really seemed to care about them. "As friends."
And time went on, and soon we were talking about our career paths.
"Hee~, Nikaido-san, you're aiming for Waseda-Keio-Sophia, huh." (Rintaro)
"Yep. Since I got into a high school with a high deviation score, so I wanted to go as high as I could." (Azusa)
Waseda-Keio-Sophia was a line of extremely difficult universities in Tokyo.
Even if I wished to enter one of those universities, they wouldn't even take me seriously with my ordinary efforts.
Nikaido's grades other than physical education were excellent. Her test scores alone were always in the top five of our grades. It was said that her scores fluctuate considerably depending on her physical condition, but even so, she still managed to finish in the top five, which could only be described as impressive.
Incidentally, our good friend, Inaba Yukio, was also in the top ranks every time, but this was a complete aside.
"I am impressed. I really admire people who have high goals." (Rintaro)
"What about you, Shidou-kun? Do you have a college you want to go to?" (Azusa)
"Umm...... I think, Chuo University. I can't really think of anything I want to do at the moment, so I'm just going to go to a college that will give me more options and see how it goes."
"[GMARCH], huh? I guess I'll have to say goodbye to Shidou-kun in college then......." (Azusa)
Hey, no need to get depressed there.
"Y-you're overreacting. You know, we can still communicate on Line, and hang out again like this or something." (Rintaro)
"Can I ask you out again then?" (Azusa)
"Of course. Ah, but if Nikaido-san gets a boyfriend, please refrain from doing so. I would feel bad for him." (Rintaro)
This feeling was even stronger because that partner might be Kakihara. I don't want to do anything to pick a fight with that guy.
"I-I don't think...... it's that easy to get a boyfriend......, you know?" (Azusa)
"......I see." (Rintaro)
So don't look at me with those moist eyes――――.
I stifled out a sigh and pick up my glass of melon soda to drink.
But it's already out, and the ice cubes make a small clinking sound.
"I'm going to go get a refill. I'll get Nikaido-san's as well, is there anything you want?" (Rintaro)
I pointed out Nikaido's empty cup on the table, and she looked surprised, then offered it to me.
"Then...... Can I ask ginger ale?" (Azusa)
"All right." (Rintaro)
I took two cups and got up from my seat.
Let's reset the atmosphere for a moment.
Nikaido's look of fondness was blatant. I inadvertently thought, if I were to make fun of her by saying "Could it be that the person Nikaido-san likes is me?", she would just reply "......Mm" and confess her feelings to me. I felt that her feelings had matured to such an extent.
Well, in reality, I guess she is not that organized in her feelings, but even so, it is hard to fool her by saying, "Your feelings are just a misunderstanding".
If you ask me whether I am "happy" or "not happy," the "not happy" slightly outnumbers the "happy" by 6 to 4.
After all, the guy who is ranked first in our grade caste is the one who likes her. I don't want him to get the wrong impression of me and have our relationship strained. I don't want to make my daily school routine a depressing one.
For now, let's calm down and talk about Kakihara more.
And I'll just have to tell her that the guy she usually hangs out with is the guy everyone wants to have as a boyfriend, even if it's hard to convey.
There's no element of lying anywhere, and if I tell her patiently and repeatedly, she will notice――――I hope.
"Alright." (Rintaro)
With great enthusiasm, I poured a drink for two into each of our cups.
As I was about to return to my seat, being careful not to spill anything, I heard a conversation coming from that direction.
"――――Isn't it Azusa! You're at a family restaurant by yourself? You should have asked us out." (Yuusuke)
"He's right! If you'd asked us out, I wouldn't have had to go through all that stuff with both of us." (Ryuuji)
As I turned the corner of my seat, I saw the backs of two men standing in front of the seat where Nikaido was sitting.
Ah――――that's the worst thing imaginable.
"Sorry, but I couldn't invite you guys today because I had a prior appointment. Did Kakihara-kun and Doumoto-kun come to study?" (Azusa)
"No, I just wanted to talk to Ryuuji about something....... But more importantly, is your prior appointment with Honoka? It looks like there are enough plates for two......" (Yuusuke)
"Yup. He just went to get me a drink....... Ah! He's back!" (Azusa)
There was no turning back even if I wanted to.
All I could do was stand there.
"......! Rintaro!?" (Yuusuke)
"Y-yo~...... Yuusuke-kun and Doumoto-kun. Uum...... what an odd coincidence." (Rintaro)
With a glass in each hand, I smiled a drawn-out smile.
O My Lord――――is this harassment from the first day of summer break?
This is too much of a challenge from the beginning, so if You don't mind, can You make the second half all good things? Otherwise, it's not worth it at all, seriously not.
