I Will Devote All My Energy to Spoiling My Childhood Friend, a Beautiful Kuudere Girl Who Can’t Be Honest - Chapter 14

AN: I feel like it has little to do with the main story, so I’ll call the date episode an extra chapter. I’ll call it an extra episode.

For the past two days since I entered high school, I’ve been in a constant state of trouble, and there was no sign of even a break. Picking up girls on the first day, a battle between Kotoha and Ichijo the next day, and a staring contest between me and Saotome. I was really tired …….

However, the days of such hardships are over now. Today is Saturday, the day of my long-awaited holiday date with Kotoha.

And what is the main purpose of this trip? I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday, and I want to close the distance between us here.

I’m going to have a sweetheart date with Kotoha to shorten the distance between us. Well, Kotoha and I usually have a lot of dates.

But this time, it’s different. I have a number of secret plans to close the distance between me and Kotoha. I have a feeling that there are several things that might have the opposite effect, but I can’t help it, since risk is an inevitable part of any new endeavor.

As I was thinking about this, the sound of the intercom echoed through the living room. It’s Kotoha! I hurry to the front door and open it. Just like at the entrance ceremony, I’m sure I’m going to be mesmerized again by the spectacular view I’m about to see. Nervously, I turn my eyes,  but when I look beyond that.

It is a …… angel again. She is wearing a black knit and a beige jumper skirt. She wears a gray beret on her head. Is she cute? Is she cute? Too cute!

She is an angel, or rather a goddess, with a figure that goes perfectly with the season.

When I’m out of focus for a while…

“… What’s wrong with your stupid face again? Good morning, Tsuzuri-kun.”

Kotoha was looking at me as if she was dumbfounded. It’s not a good idea to keep silent like this, so I opened my mouth.

“Oh … Good morning Kotoha. Those clothes look great on you.”

When I said that, Kotoha smiled coolly and…

“Oh? Tsuzuri-kun, when you praise a girl, you have to evaluate in detail what suits her, don’t you?”

That’s what she said. But unlike usual, I can say it for some reason.

But she was certainly right. Since the girl had come all the way dressed up, it would be normal to praise her here. I was so enamored with Kotoha that I forgot to do the sensible thing.

The fact that she said it on her own means that Kotoha probably wants more detailed praise. However, it seems embarrassing to say so face-to-face, and it seems that she dares to deceive it in a roundabout way. The shyness is so terrifying …!

I open my mouth to praise Kotoha.

“First of all, that jumper skirt! It matches Kotoha’s mature but somewhat childish vibe like crazy! The knit hat also looks great with your beautiful silver hair. Angel? Goddess? I can’t think of any words to describe how cute she is. …… Oh, and then there’s —.”

“I’m sorry! That’s enough.”

But Kotoha covered her ears in mid-sentence.

“Well, is that so?”

I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ll put that aside for now. I looked at my watch. It was almost time to leave.

“Kotoha, we should leave soon,” I tell her.

“Ah, you’re right. …escort me, please.”

She looks embarrassed as she speaks, and I say…

“Of course! You can count on me!”

I answered her confidently.

We took the train and arrived at the center of town.

“So, Tsuzuri-kun. Where are you planning to go out today, first?”

Kotoha asks me.

“Well, first of all, maybe a movie theater. Kotoha, do you have a movie you want to watch?”

When I asked, she shook her head.

“I don’t really have one. Tsuzuri-kun, please decide here!”

I couldn’t help but giggle when Kotoha said that to me. It’s as planned, I kept saying that, thinking so.

“There’s this movie called ‘Spellbound’, doesn’t it sound interesting?”

Kotoha tilts her head when she hears the name of the movie.

“Hmm … I haven’t heard of it. Well, I told you to leave it to Tsuzuri-kun, so let’s go.”

Kotoha agreed with my opinion without any doubt. … Seeing her like that makes me feel guilty. Because…

… Actually, this is a horror movie. I bought a ticket and entered the hall with her who feels like a run-run who does not know such a thing.

Strategy # 1, “Kotoha and Pounding Movie Strategy”. I was hoping that the movie would be so scary that Kotoha would hug me! I was hoping for something like that.

And so, inside the movie theater. Kotoha and I were chatting until the movie started. Of course, we were sitting in a couple seats.

However, as more and more horror advertisements and introductions to the film began to appear on the screen, the smile on her face gradually turned to anxiety.

When the screening was about to start, Kotoha anxiously pinched the sleeve of my dress. Yeah, that action is so cute!

“…Tsuzuri-kun, could this movie possibly…?”

I answered her question in a dumb way.

“Hmm? Kotoha, didn’t you notice? This is a horror movie that’s very popular currently.”

When she heard this, she looked as if she was about to start crying.

After a while, Kotoha’s screams echoed throughout the hall.

Then after the screening.

When we left the theater, Kotoha was very upset.

“Tsuzuri-kun, you are the worst!”

She glares at me with her red, swollen eyes. …… I think it was scary. I regret that I overdo it.

But, Kotoha-san, no matter how scary it is, to be hugged by the arm… I’m not sure what to say. It smells good, and there’s something soft against it?

Yes, that’s not the problem. It is attracting a lot of attention from the surroundings. Oh, two high school girls are pointing at me and whispering. No, it’s very embarrassing!

I’m sorry, but I can’t stand the stares around me, so I talk to Kotoha.

“… Ah, Kotoha-san. I’m very sorry, but is it okay to leave soon?”

Then, her expression, which had been angry until now, changed.

“Oh my God! Please hurry up and say something like that! Tsuzuri-kun, you pervert!”

She was overwhelmed by shame.

Kotoha leaves me with the speed of light. …… I’ve said it myself. I’m sad to hear you react like that, it’s like you hate me.

…Hmm. Is the operation a failure? When I was thinking that way, I suddenly wanted to go pick flowers. (TLN: I’m going to pick flowers is a polite way of saying you want to go to the bathroom)

“Kotoha, can I go to the bathroom for a while?”

I wondered if she was really angry. I’m not sure if she’s really angry or not, but she’s still pouting.

“Do what you want! I don’t know anything about you, Tsuzuri-kun!”

I’m pretty worried about leaving Kotoha alone … I rushed to the bathroom to come back in a hurry.

I finished using the restroom and hurried over to Kotoha. And there it was… It was the same scene I had just seen at the entrance ceremony.

Two flirtatious-looking men were talking to Kotoha in an overly friendly manner.

“You’re so cute! Are you a model or something?”

“Would you like to have tea with us?”

I laughed at the all-too-common development and went to the scene to help Kotoha as usual.

TLN: This is the first series I translate, so it might come off as unrefined and have a lot of mistakes, feel free to leave a reply pointing out those mistakes.

I will probably update daily if I can and I’m open to picking up other novels.
