The Losing Heroine Dumped by Her Shady Childhood Friend Will Definitely Win as Long as I’m Around! - Chapter 26
Chinatsu-chan and I went around mainly on the scream attractions. In addition to roller coasters, we rode bungee jumps, trapeze rides, and many other things.
It seemed that we both had the same tastes. I was happy to find another thing in common with Chinatsu-chan.
“I didn’t realize how much you like screaming, Masa-kun. I’ve always been surrounded by people who don’t like them, so it’s really fun to be able to ride so many of them.”
“I’ve never been able to ride this much before. When I came here with my family, my parents got angry at me because my sister was not good at screaming, but I was the only one who rode so much.”
“Fufu~. Must be tough for you, Onii-chan.”
I know she was saying it jokingly, but I thought it was not bad to be called “Onii-chan” by Chinatsu-chan. I am not a siscon. I just had a strange imagination because Chinatsu-chan was cute. It’s not my fault.
“Do you have any siblings, Chinatsu-chan?”
“I have an older sister. She lives alone since she started college, so I don’t get to see her very often.”
“Heh~. Chinatsu-chan has an older sister. You must miss her a lot if you don’t see her often.”
“I’m used to it. Besides, my sister never stops talking to me when she comes home. It’s not just me, it’s hard on mom and dad too.”
“Hah-ha. So you three are living peacefully without your sister?”
“When you say it like that, I kind of feel like Onee-chan is a typhoon. …”
Hmmm, In other words, as long as I could confirm that her parents were out, I could be alone with Chinatsu-chan again at her house. ……
It took a strong will to hold back thoughts that were trying to go in the wrong direction.
I had been told that if there was something I wanted to do, I could say it without hesitation, but I risked being really disliked if I got too greedy here.
I have been in love with her since middle school. I endured it until I was able to get Chinatsu-chan to go out with me. Even from now on, I will endure without being carried away by greed.
“Let’s ride that next!”
“Okay!”
We continued to enjoy our date at the amusement park.
“Masa-kun, this way next !”
“Okay!”
It wasn’t bad to be pulled along by Chinatsu-chan, who was excitedly rushing me. She was actively taking my hand. I won’t point it out because she probably hasn’t noticed.
“Masa-kun, Masa-kun”
“Chinatsu-chan, take a break.”
She must be excited to be at the amusement park for the first time in a long time. Chinatsu-chan was enjoying herself expressively, unaware that her face was turning red. Seeing my girlfriend like that, I felt happy too.
I would love to watch forever, but we must not forget to take a break. Today’s temperature was high, and even though summer was not yet in full swing, we must be careful of heat stroke. That’s what the TV said.
“Hey Masa-kun, where are we going after this?”
While rehydrating, Chinatsu-chan seemed to be looking forward to the next attraction.
She must be returning to her childhood. She was smiling innocently and expressing her feelings very honestly.
“I have one last place I want to go,”
I mentioned one place that I wanted to go on a ride.
*****
On a date at an amusement park, there was one ride that you just couldn’t miss.
“Wow. It’s a nice view.”
It was the Ferris wheel.
It offered a scenic view and a space where couples could be alone with each other. My heart, which was full of excitement, calmed down with increasing heights.
For couples, the Ferris wheel was the place to be. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a very romantic ride.
Moreover, the scenery, which was fading into sunset, seemed to add to that atmosphere.
“Come to think of it, there is a swimming pool near here. ….”
Chinatsu-chan said while looking at the pool facility located right next to the amusement park.
There seemed to be a sense of anticipation in her tone of voice. To me it sounded like she wanted me to ask her out.
“Let’s go to the pool next time. Since it was hot today, it will be even hotter from now on, and I’m sure it will feel good.”
“…. yeah. I’m looking forward to it.”
Chinatsu-chan smiled.
I could not stop staring at her like that. I must have been staring at her for a while. Chinatsu-chan noticed my appearance and tilted her head.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Just admiring you, Chinatsu-chan.”
“Wha!? T-thank you. ……”
Her face turned bright red, which was easy to see even under the setting sun.
Still, she was not embarrassed and was honest enough to say thank you.
“Chinatsu-chan, you’ve become so honest.”
“……Yes. I’ve decided not to lie about how I feel.”
“I see.”
I want to be honest. That’s a big change for her, just because I’ve known her to be stubborn since we were in middle school.
“So that …”
Chinatsu-chan, who was sitting across from me, moved to be next to me.
The movement was so natural. I was barely able to react when she got close enough that I could hear her breathing a little bit.
“Chi-Chinatsu-chan?”
“I kissed Masa-kun… it’s true that I didn’t hate it…”
Sweet scent. It was girl-specific …… no, it was the smell of Chinatsu-chan.
The top was approaching.
“Un. It’s not that I don’t like it…I actually want to do more…I thought…”
….Thank goodness it was sunset time.
I was aware that my face was growing hot at the words, which I was ashamed to say, but I summoned up the courage to say them.
This is such foul play …….
“…Can I kiss you now?”
Now we have reached the top where no one can disturb us.
“Un…you can…”
Chinatsu-chan answered honestly.
“…….”
It was neither unexpected nor forced.
I closed my eyes and inclined my head. She adjusted to me, too.
“…. Nn~.”
The best situation imaginable on an amusement park date.
The feel and sweetness of Chinatsu-chan’s lips brought me such happiness that everything seemed unimportant.
