Touma-kun Is Nervous About Uniform Date

Translated by AmaLynne

Well, folks.

I am in a very bad situation right now.

Huh? You say my tone is strange?

No, no, there’s nothing strange about it.

It’s called …… just a pseudo-wise guy mode.

Otherwise, it’s not like that, and it’s like that.

◆◇◆◇◆

「Aya? It would be great if you’d let go of me soon?」

「No! Stay like this! Ahehe, Touma-kun…」

Nope…I don’t know why she’s happy, but she seems to be overflowing with embarrassment.

Even so…she’s cute.

Besides, it’s the first time I’ve been complained…not bad.

Let’s keep the pseudo-wise mode going…Me, go for it!

「All right, that’s enough of that…So, what’s for today? Lunch first?」

「Me, I want ramen! Can we go to Touma-kun part-time job!」

「Hmm? We haven’t been there since we started dating, isn’t it?」

「R-Right! I wish you would introduce me!」

Hmmm…she’s excited about it…

This is fine, though, because you’re so damn cute.

We end up going to the station, arm in arm.

◆◇◆◇◆

Phew…thank god.

I said I had to go to the bathroom and managed to escape.

I just can’t help but feel that my physiology as a man is…that thing…needs to subside…!

Oh, and by the way, I didn’t process it, okay?

I just calmed it down, you know?

She’s…cute girl who totally makes me go nuts in so many ways.

「Oh! Touma-kun! I’m sorry about that, okay? That was embarrassing, wasn’t it?」

Aya seems to be embarrassed after all this time.

I really don’t know what to do anymore…!

Even just for the sake of it, she’s so dreadful in her school uniform…!

「N-No, no problem. I’m happy, no, wait…」

「Touma-kun is embarrassed…cute…ehehe, it was worth the effort!」

「Cute…Aya, please give me a break. Totally…in moderation.」

「Something nice! A date in uniform! This was my dream too!」

「Well, I’ll agree to that. Don’t feel so fluffy.」

「We’re the same! I’m so happy!」

The train then arrives at Aya’s hometown station.

「It’s good that school rules are so lax at times like this.」

「Right. Some of the tougher places don’t allow you to stop by after school.」

「Huh? …Speaking of which, Touma-kun, why don’t you come to school on a motorcycle? As I recall…as long as you get permission to go to school, it’s fine, right?」

「Oh…no, because I don’t want to stand out.」

「Come to think of it…I don’t know if I should say this, but you’re already conspicuous, aren’t you?」

「Right. The original bike cost about 400,000 yen. If I go on a bike like that, it’ll get stolen. Or they’ll play a prank on you.」

「Eh!? That much!? Wow, I’ve always ridden such things…again, thank you very much. You know…I like sitting on the back of Touma-kun! The wide back makes me feel so safe and cozy!」

I’m the one who’s getting nervous!

You’re making me go nuts…!!!!

「I-I see…you know…」

I can’t…!

I can’t get the words right today…!

「Touma-kun? What’s wrong?」

Don’t peek out from under me with your hands behind your back!

You’re trying to get at me! Are you a natural!?

「Y-You know…if I ride my bike to school, I can’t go to and from school with Aya, right? Well, I’m rather looking forward to it, aren’t I?」

「…Touma-kun, your face is red, okay?」

「Leave it alone. Aya’s face is red too.」

「What? Really? Oh, it’s true. My face is getting hot…」

「Anyway, let’s get going.」

「Yeah, yeah! I’m hungry!」

◆◇◆◇◆

And we enter a ramen shop.

It was a little past lunchtime, so we were in a no-guest situation.

Because we stayed after school and flirted with each other…

「Oh, Touma… That kid is…」

「T-Thanks for that time! Um, I’m officially his girlfriend, my name is Aya Shimizu!」

「Thank you for your kind attention. I am Tomono. I see, it was different then. Touma, are you going to eat?」

「Yes, can I please?」

「Of course. Good, I’ll treat you today. You can ask for whatever you like. The manager’s out to dinner.」

「No, I beg your pardon!」

「Hey, hey, let me at least buy you a ramen. I’m always grateful for Touma’s help. Let me at least do this.」

「…Yes, I understand. Thank you!」

「T-Thank you!」

◆◇◆◇◆

Then we take our seats.

「Um…is that okay? Even me…」

「Well, that makes me one too…」

「Okay okay, chill. You two make a perfect couple, don’t you? You’re young and reserved. All right, I’ll make the decision. Ramen and dumplings, okay?」

「I’ll have that, please. Thank you.」

「Thank you!」

「You said that a while ago. Well, that’s good. Wait for me then.」

「So cool…」

「T-Touma-kun, you’re cool too, okay?」

「O-Oh. No, I admire adults like that.」

And soon, ramen and dumplings arrive.

「Please enjoy.」

「Thank you very much. Bon appétit.」

「Bon appétit.」

And then we start eating the ramen…

「Touma-kun…I want to eat gyoza!」

「Yes? You could just eat it…」

「Oh…good. I thought you don’t like girls who smell of garlic…but I like dumplings…」

「If it bothers other, that’s one thing, but I don’t care, okay? You can continue to eat what you like without worrying about it. I won’t be disgusted by it.」

「Touma-kun…like…」

I’m glad I didn’t say anything.

Just don’t let Tomono-san make fun of you…

I’m a little scared of the next part-time day, but I’ll accept it with open arms…
