For Some Reason, the School Goddess Likes to Hang Out at My House - CH 65

“You’re Spaced out, what’s wrong? …Is there something wrong… Maybe it’s my hair? It’s different from what I normally do, so maybe it’s weird.”
“No, that’s not it…”
I can’t say tell her.
I can’t tell her that I was speechless because I was so mesmerized…
I gently turned away from Rin, who tilted her head curiously.
“Is that so? But, um…”
“Yeah?”
“Does it… look good?”
“Oh, um… Yeah, that’s right. That’s… you see, the reactions around you speak for themselves.”
“I’m asking Towa-kun, right?”
Her clear, unclouded eyes stared straight at me.
It looked like a dog glistening in anticipation of something.
I’m at a loss for words, and Kenichi and Fuji-san are standing silently near me, as if they’re watching what happens.
They seemed to be waiting for me to say something.
“…It looks good on you. Like everything else does… ouch!”
“What’s with that compliment? It sounds like you don’t want to say it! You should have said, ‘You’re as beautiful as a diamond.
“That’s … I wonder if it’s true …”
I took a chop to the head and glared at the handsome bastard while rubbing my head.
This stupidity… it really hurts you know…
I mean, don’t ask me to say anything witty or exciting.
“Hey, Kotone, please say something. To this disappointing man.”
“…Kenichi, look. There seems to be no problem.”
“Hmm? …Ah, I see.”
“Ehehe ~, he said I looked good~”
“…Rin is a positive thinker. She seems to have no problem with what Tokiwagi-kun says.
“This must be what a maiden in love looks like.”
“… Rin, really is cute.”
The two of them are talking to each other, ignoring me as I hold my head and crouch down.
I hear a lot of conversations that concern me…
…Well, anyway, I guess that means it wasn’t a problem, right?
“Well, let’s go then! We already have designated spot for the parasol, so let’s hurry up and drop off our stuff!”
“…Yeah. I’ll get ready quickly.”
I put a cold water bottle on my head, stood up and tried to follow Kenichi walking in front of me.
As soon as I did, I felt the stares from the people around me become more intense.
My body temperature seemed to have dropped a bit.
Oh, I see.
The surrounding gaze.
It was a gaze that I had felt many times before.
“Why are you there?”
“You’re out of place!”
“Isn’t there too big of a difference?”
It’s as if that’s what they were trying to convey.
This is the same no matter where I go.
It can’t be helped…
It’s a fact that simply can’t be changed.
I’ve already given up inside.
So it’s not hard, and it’s not uncomfortable at all.
But that’s just me.
Anyone other than me who was involved would feel uncomfortable.
Just because they happened to be around me, they would be looked at strangely and would be under fire.
That’s something I’m not willing to do.
It’s simply uncomfortable to think that someone who’s a good guy is going to have his reputation tarnished just because he’s with a low tier guy like me.
And at the same time… I am sorry.
—So it’s the same as usual.
When I feel this gaze, I just fade out naturally, as if I were air.
I tried to keep a distance from those three—
“Towa-kun! Come on, let’s go!”
I was a little surprised to hear Rin’s cheerful voice, which I had never heard before. I let out a stupid ‘eh’ sound.
Like the voice a sleepy person wakes up with.
Even though she wasn’t near me when she called out, …her voice was the only one that made it’s way into my ear, even amidst the buzz of other patrons.
She took a quick glance around with a slightly pouting expression, and then tangled her arm around mine.
And rather forcefully, at that.
Her skin is directly against my arm, and I can feel the warm heat and soft feeling directly.
If my mind hadn’t been buzzing strangely, I might have gotten a nosebleed.
“Uh, …Rin? …What are you doing?”
“Well…”
“Yes?”
“I felt that if I left you alone, you would wander off and go somewhere else. I’m trying not to let you get swept away…”
“No, people don’t get blown away that easily, okay?”
“If it Towa-kun… than it could be possible.”
“Just how do you see me…?”
I shook my arm lightly to release her, but Rin stubbornly refused to let go.
Ah, good grief.
She’s looking at me even more sharply now.
Her suspicious gaze has turned into one with murderous intent.
“Hey! What are you doing? Stop flirting and get over here!”
From a parasol some distance away, Kenichi waved his hand at us.
Beside him, Fuji-san made a small beckoning motion.
I huffed and let out a small breath.
“Let’s get going then,…”
“Okay.”
“By the way, is their an option where you let go of my arm?”
“Of course not.”
“Right – …”
I smiled at Rin, who was still the same as ever.
The stares from the people around me were still cold.
But strangely enough, I felt a warm feeling.
TL note: I unofficially started Medical school about 3 weeks ago and it’s more of a shock than I excepted. My initial goal with this series was to have a stock of chapters that I could release biweekly, however because of many external factors I was unable to do so. As of today, I will be officially dropping this series. I welcome anyone who would like to translate this series to do so. If no one picks up the series in the coming months, then I’ll try to get organized with a few people to try and ease up the time spent working on each chapter.
I may translate other works in the future, but they will definitely shorter projects that I know I can complete with a small-time investment.
Thanks, you for all of the support that you have all given me in the past few months, I really appreciate those of you who took the time to like or comment, it more motivating to see then you would think.
Cheers,
God King
