It Seems I Was Hitting On the Most Beautiful Girl in School Without Me Noticing - CH 62

Report To The Girl At My Part-Time Job

I was able to hold hands with Saito, the person I liked, so I decided to report it to the girl at my part-time job who helped me out. Since she had listened to me so thoughtfully, I thought it’d be polite to report back to her.

After finishing my part-time job, I went to talk to Hiiragi-san after I finished changing my clothes. Hiiragi-san was wearing a coat, her shoulders were hunched and her face was buried in her muffler.

[Hiiragi-san, good work today]

[Good work to you too. You seem to be very excited. Did something good happen to you?]

When I called out to her, Hiiragi-san smiled and tilted her head, looking amused. She was a little cheerful, unlike her usual cold attitude. Apparently, she was in a good mood. I wanted to thank her for the consultation and I felt more comfortable talking to her.

[Actually, I finally held hands with the person I like. Thank you for all the help you gave me]

[I’m glad it worked out for you. So, how was it? Holding hands]

As usual, she was very receptive to romance advice. At first glance, I wouldn’t have thought she would be interested in love, but I guess that’s just how girls are. Her eyes sparkled and she asked me with a curious look.

[What can I say… It was a lot]

[A lot?]

[Of course, I was happy that it went well and I was able to hold hands with the one I like, but I was nervous, because she was closer than usual. When we held hands, my mind went blank]

[Were you that conscious of her that it made you feel impatient?]

She smiled at me with a teasing tone. I felt a little flustered by her devilish, mischievous smile, and my face heated up. I couldn’t think of a good comeback, so I hesitantly admitted it.

[That’s… well… Oh, but I remember the feeling of our hands connected very well. It was different from my own, and it felt very girly. I really want to do it again]

[I-Is that so?]

It was just a few days ago, so when I expressed my thoughts while recalling the time we held hands, Hiiragi-san raised her voice a little awkwardly. She then cowered her shoulders, and squirms uncomfortably.

[To be honest, I originally planned to just hold hands, but we got carried away and ended up doing a lovers hold. I thought I’d made a mistake, but she seemed happy, so I’d like to be more assertive from now on if I could. I’d like to hold hands with her again]

[B-Be even more assertive!? As expected, if it’s more than this…]

From Hiiragi-san’s point of view, she thought it would end with just hand holding. Well, I don’t think I would do it unless it’s someone I like, since I don’t think I would actively move towards the opposite gender to begin with.

Hiiragi-san seemed to be very surprised. I could see her cute eyes open wide behind her glasses.

[No no no. Of course, I’ll be gentle with her, but I want her to be aware of me, so I’m going to be more assertive]

[A-Ah right, you’ve said that before… but you’ve already held hands, what more are you going to do…?]

She glanced up at me to check.

[That’s… something I haven’t decided yet]

[I see… Then you can talk to me once you’ve decided]

[Okay, but why?]

[Y-You know, I can judge if you’re going to do something uncomfortable or not to the girl. Even if Tanaka-kun isn’t planning something like that, I’ll help be the judge for that]

Hiiragi-san was moving and talking swiftly. I don’t know why she was in such a hurry, but the reason she had made sense.

[Ah, I see. Then, when I decide what I want to do next, I will consult you. I definitely want to make her conscious of me and embarrassed next time. If Hiiragi-san can tell me something, it will definitely be useful]

[I-I understand]

She nodded her head, her voice a little high and her gaze swimming around, as if she was nervous. She was probably embarrassed at the thought that she might be asked about maiden things again. She blushed slightly and turned her head to the side to hide it.

As we talked about my thoughts when me and Saito held hands, I gradually remembered more things. Suddenly, I remembered her cat-like behaviour on the way home.

[Ah, by the way, after we held hands and went home, something interesting happened on the way]

[Something interesting?]

Her eyes showed a glint of interest and tilted her head curiously.

[Yeah, there was a cat on the way home, and she seemed to like cats, so she ran over towards it]

[And?]

[She bent down in front of the cat and stared at it, and then she started meowing and tried to talk to the cat. Do you normally imitate a cat’s voice?]

[!? I-I’d do it! Maybe!]

When I laughed, remembering that time, Hiiragi-san stuttered a little and emphasised her point strongly and desperately. I wondered if that was something only Saito did, but maybe it’s a common thing for cat lovers? I don’t know.

[Oh, really?]

[Yes, the most important way to communicate with a cat is to imitate it!]

[I-I see…]

I wasn’t sure about what she meant, but I couldn’t pry further with her desperate attitude. I couldn’t help but nod to her unusually strong attitude.

[It’s true! It’s not weird at all to imitate a cat’s voice! It’s rude to laugh at it]

I didn’t mean to make fun of her, but Hiiragi-san pouted to show her frustration. Apparently, for cat lovers, this was something unnegotiable. She glared at me for a little, and I apologized saying [I’m sorry about that] while cowering my shoulders.

Very late but, happy new year! Hope we all have a good year, or at least, better. I wanted to post this on the 1st, but editor had some urgent things to do. Anyway, I should be able to post more in the next few weeks, though school is up and running again. Have a nice day!
