I’m Having Trouble With a High School Girl I Meet on the Commuter Train Who for Some Reason Has Taken a Liking to Me - CH 72

The second day of Comiket.

Thanks to the effectiveness of Kaesaka and Otomizu’s cosplay, we were able to attract visitors to Zany’s booth.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the three of us switched places with the other members of the group and took a break.

Then Kaedezaka started to walk out of the booth.

“Hey, Kaedezaka. Where are you going?”

“I can’t believe Yuika-san saw me in cosplay. … …Hahh…Hah… …… I’m going to go cool my head a bit.”

In the morning, Yuika visited our booth, and saw Kaedezaka dressed in her cosplay outfit.

Kaedezaka, who did not want Yuika to see her at work even for free, was doubly shocked.

I don’t think you need to worry that much about it but she was trying to act like an elegant Lady in front of her….

Seeing Kaedezaka heading outside alone, Otomizu murmured.

“Who is this Yuika-san?”

“A-ah, …. A friend of Kaedezaka’s.”

“Ah, I see. When you’re on event staff, it’s very damaging when people you know find out.”

Incidentally, when Otomizu returned, Yuika had already returned to her friend, so the two did not meet.

What would happen if Yuika found out about Otomizu?

No doubt, the daily teasing would get worse.

It’d be horrifying, …….

“Huh?”

Otomizu, noticing something, raised her voice and pointed to my right hand.

“Sasamiya-san. Your hand is red and swollen.”

“Hmm? Ah …, yeah.”

This morning, when that playboy chief, Hariboshi, caused the ruckus, I had to support a signboard that was about to fall off.

I probably bumped the sign when I propped it up.

I didn’t notice it at all.

“”

“Let me see. Ah! You’ve scraped it!”

“You don’t need to worry about it if it’s just like this.”

“It’s no good. You need to take care of it properly!”

Otomizu checked the swollen area, took out an adhesive bandage from her pocket, and put it on.

Nevertheless, this was the best situation.

A fox-eared gothic maid junior was touching my hand and treating me.

Wasn’t this the situation that all the men in the world crave for?

“Thank you. I’m fine now.”

“…… yes.”

But Otomizu wouldn’t let go of my hand.

On the contrary, she started playing with my fingers, pinching them and wriggling them.

To top it off, she looked up at me and gave me a peculiar look.

To be frank, it was pretty cute.

A normal guy would have died by now.

“Sasamiya-san … Sasamiya-san, between me or Kaedezaka-san, which one would you choose?”

She asked me a very suggestive question …

If this were a love story, we would probably be talking about who I like better.

However, the fact that the comparison was with Kaedezaka meant that this was not the case.

(T/N: Like he is dense and not dense at the same time)

Even Otomizu must know that there was absolutely no chance that Kaedzaka would like me.

If so, does that mean .. as a business partner?

“I guess so. Basically, I don’t reject what comes my way.”

“What!? No way. …”

“What? What’s up with that?”

“No, nothing. …… just a slip of tongue.”

“…, I see.”

This serious look ….

Could it be that she has lost confidence in her work and was asking, “Which one would you choose?”?

No wonder.

Otomizu hasn’t even been with the company for six months.

I can understand your impatience, but I assure you there is no need for that.

“I’ll tell you one thing, from my point of view, You are still developing and learning. Don’t worry about it.”

“Could it be! Sasamiya-san, mature women. …”

“Hmm? A mature woman… what?”

“No, just …  just a slip of tongue.”

“…I see.”

Otomizu has been acting strangely since a while ago …

Is it just my imagination?

“But I’m two years older than Kaedezaka-san, which means I have the advantage! I’m feeling kind of motivated!”

“I don’t know what, but I’m glad you’re feeling better.”

“Yes!”

It was true that Kaedzaka was still a college student, so if you ask me, Otomizu has the advantage.

To be honest, I don’t know why she has suddenly regained her energy, but she looked cute, so it was all good.

I was sure she would continue to hit many more walls in the future.

When she does, I’ll be there to support her.

“Hey, Otomizu.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“If you’re ever feeling down, let me know. You can call me if you want.”

Then Otomizu gulped and approached me.

“Is it that popular thing on YouTube ‘whispering in ear before going to bed’ !?”

“……? Oh, … yeah. Any time of the night is fine with me.”

“Woow! I can’t believe Sasamiya-san would serve me that well!! I am the winner here, aren’t I!?”

“No, …, it’s not really a service. …”

Why did you bring up YouTube when all you want to do is consult over the phone?
