CHUUKO DEMO KOI GA SHITAI! VOLUME 1 CHAPTER 2

Chapter 2- Love confession is always sudden like this

 

“I LOVE YOU SEIICHI, I love you the most in the whole world”. My ideal heroine confessed her feelings to me. She’s pretty slim and beautiful. But my gut is telling me that she is my dream girl, until my gut breaks the ice by telling me that our own dream girl is much better. “Have I become your dream girl yet or not Seiichi?”. I wanted to nod my head, why would I shake my head, when she already now is my dream girl.

“Then…”

Her appearance started to look more better and prettier, her black hair tied in twin tails, her sharp pretty eyes, her face is—

Like that of an actress’s—

“So, does that mean you’ll choose me right?!”

It’s Ayame alright.

“NOOO! I DON”T WANT YOU!”

I woke up in shock, looking around my surrounding a lot, but it’s just my room. As for Ayame—-She’s not here, there’s no way she could be, how could she? If she is, then It’d be damn horrible

“It’s just a dream…”

Huh, it was just a dream…

I thought carefully and should know very well, but when I was in that dream, it felt all real. But it’s a relief that it was just a dream, even when I was killed in it, I have never been this sweaty before

But—

“Be prepared, I will become your dream girl, just you watch! I couldn’t believe that yesterday something like that happened…

What’s with her weird thinking, for her to like an eroge game otaku like me. Right now, as I think about it, it’s still unbelievable. This feeling is pretty similar like feeling measles appearing on your skin, and will cause me to get sick, but after waiting for a while, it will eventually go away. At that time, how is Ayame going to appear in front of me, I don’t know about that. But, I need to wait for a while until this thing blows away all by itself.

…..I really wanted to lock myself in my house, until all of this is over by itself, but my parents won’t let me do so.

“Hey, YOU ERECTIONLESS VIRIGN, WHERE’S MY RICE?! QUIT HAVING YOUR WET DREAMS AND GET DOWN HERE NOW!!” My little sister’s shout from the floor below, that echoed through into my room, she has such a foul mouth, that I didn’t wanna believe that she’s a year younger than I am. I think my parents raised her in the wrong way, that’s for sure.  This makes me want to take binary data from the 2D world and shove it into her mouth!

“Uugggh…” I breathed in and out deeply, until my happy feeling goes away.

I arrived at School a little bit earlier than usual, to get ready since there aren’t even half of my classmates in the room already. Tozaki also didn’t arrive yet. Before Ayame arrives and the bell rings, I might as well use the time I have before she arrives here and prepare for whatever happens with me and her in this School.

Alright I should start right now, Okay, if for example, the door opens at a loud crashing sound, and Ayame dashes through and enters the classroom,

“Morning Aramiya”

If she were to arrive and greet me this way, then I would—“heey wait, she’s here already?!”

“Go-good morning….to-today, you arrived early today…?”

It feels like I’m a soldier who’s not ready to be sent to the battlefield yet, come on, I need time to get ready! The stares of my classmates are onto me now.

“Eh, uh, thing is, I have something I want to ask you”

“W-What?”

“The character called Ridi in the game ‘Princess weekday’, what do to win her over to fall in love with me to complete the game”

…………………………….

HAAAAH!?

“Hey Aramiya, are you listening or not? I asked you about the character called Ridi—“

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! !! !!”

The incident from yesterday, Ayame was a lazy hoodlum, was a small thing, but all of that has changed.

I got up my seat and grabbed her by the arm

“Hey”

Before I dragged her out of the homeroom, not caring about her being bemused right now. I dragged her to the staircase, where there normally aren’t people around. After we arrived at that spot , I looked around to see if there’s anyone around or not, then—

Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-YYOOUUUUUUUUU!! !! !!”

Wh-Why, why are you blaming me?! I don’t understand what you’re saying”

Ayame looked as if she didn’t  understand.

“Because ‘princess weekday’ is an 18+ rated game! Thing is, people who aren’t at least 18 aren’t allowed to purchase it!”

“There’s a warning that appears on the opening of the game before you start playing …well the teacher isn’t in the homeroom right now”

“That’s even way worse than this! NEVER talk about 18+ rated games in the classroom! YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY/ASK!”

“Wh-what? You can’t talk about it with me? Seeing that you’re an otaku, I thought there was nothing wrong about it, so what’s wrong…?”

“Why wouldn’t it be wrong!? If you watch anime late at night or play games, people wouldn’t care! But if you play games where there are girls in them, people would look at you like a weirdo. Right now I’m an open-otaku, but I still want to enjoy my School life peacefully, I don’t want people staring at me like I’m some disgusting otaku!”

Right now, are the other otakus out there living peacefully much than before now? Well, there are other otakus who are quite stupid/dumb. Don’t think being otaku is all about playing eroge games, there are otaku who watch Moe anime at late night, have already been cursed and addicted to it. People can accept people who watch anime in the society, or people who watch shounen anime, or anime films produced by famous anime companies. The world hasn’t been easy than before, for people who are full blooded otaku.….from my perspective view. As I explained a lot this much as I rambled, Ayame herself started to understand.

“…I-I’m sorry, I didn’t know about It”

Ayame apologized sincerely to me.

Then at that moment, I just realized that Ayame herself is of course a yankee. I started shaking in fear.

“Bu-Buut!”

“Whaaa!?”

She stood closer in front of me, what? You really wanna punch me?!

“I think that games like that, aren’t something you should be embarrassed about…”

“Eh…?”

“I was relieved. At first, I thought ‘Oh come on, it’s just a game’ but I then realized myself that when I played it without looking at the time, I can see the girls in it are pretty cute, the protagonist is cool. I finally started understanding what Aramiya meant by who his ‘dream girl’ is exactly”

It-it’s true? For ‘Princess weekday’ to be such a fine exclusive piece of work, able to be sold for how many copies exactly , but I can’t believe that a Yankee like Ayame would like the game this much….

“To me, it’s like watching a movie that I can enjoy a lot, I want you to understand my feelings for it or you too…..”

“B-But there’s like….an inappropriate scene in it you know…?”

After I explained that to her, Ayame then got flustered bright red a bit aboutt the 18+ rated scene  she missed in the game—or teenagers who aren’t 18 yet, shouldn’t watch scenes like that.

I guessed that most of the girls give that a red card because of that…

“Th…That’s all to it! B..But that’s doesn’t seems strange when they love each other, don’t it?”

She says it out shyly, but with a steady tone. Yep, in reality. 18+ or no. Let them be together alone, and…yeah.

Especially those high schoolers, which I am one of those that I can’t complain about that. But the boys, are a condensed form of lust. Even though they do not have girlfriends, they still manage to satisfy themselves of their pitiful ecstasy every day.

So if they are with their girlfriend and the mood sets in, yes. But if it ended only touching hands or a kiss is… kinda weird.

…But that stuff in reality, doesn’t mean anything to me who lives in a 2D world.

“B..but doing that without wearing is kind of risky…”

“W…without what?”

“! No, nothing! Forget about it!”

Oh, I almost forgot. Those eroge games do those erotic… That doesn’t have anything to do with the topic at hand, so I was confused for a bit. She kinda knew this stuff because she’s a girl or doing those a lot as her sidelines?

Or I’m being a dumb and don’t know about this.

“B…but anyways, I’m impressed about that. And I played until I got stuck at Ridi. I was really into it, but then suddenly she got into the spaceship and gone. She says farewell and the game ended on a sad note. And I still got that same ending even though I choose other choices…”

Seems she didn’t made that up and played the game. The scene she’s stuck on now, I was in that same position too…

“You loaded and played at another point?”

“Ah, umm, yes. I choose from the save that I made at earlier point a bit, but it still ended that way…”

“Ah, that will not work. You will need to play it from the very beginning or you will not get the required flag.”

“Flag?”

“If I’m going explain about it, it’s gonna be a long explanation. So in short, it’s clearing a certain goal. You cleared all other characters except Riti, yes?”

“Euh uugh..”

“Then, you should press start where there’s all the information about playing other characters aside from Ridi, then there’s a flag that would trigger ‘start from the beginning’, just that”

“???”

Judging from Ayame’s face, I can tell she doesn’t understand me at all. Well, I didn’t think I could explain it so easily either, so explaining this to other people is hard really. These rules are originally formed differently, depending on the game or its company.

“I’ll put it this way, don’t think about it too much, right now, you should start playing it, that’s all”

“O-ok, I’ll give it a try”

Then at that moment, the homeroom bell rang loudly.

“A-Aramiya, le-let’s head back to class.”

“Aah, mmmh…”

Then we went back to our homeroom together.

….I talked to Ayame a lot smoothly more than I expected, since I’m an expert at this topic we’re talking about now. But for this to happen, I can’t really believe that Ayame would be engaging in eroge games for sure. No way, I didn’t think that I would play together with her. I heard that online, there are discussions saying that a Yankee and Otaku don’t go well together. In short, is this really happening for real or not?

“H-hey, Ayame, why did you start playing Eroge games…”

“….”

“Ay-Ayame?”

“….First of all, I need to know about the enemy first, I wanna know about that 2D girl you talked about….so I searched some info on the net before I bought it. I saw that the game they recommended for an 18+ rated gaming beginner…”

“Ah…”

“Yesterday, I said it didn’t I that I will become your dream girl”

She’s still seriously going on about that.

“Moreover, I would like to do the same hobbies as yours…”

She said that bashfully, sounding as if she’s disturbed.

“Errr…”

He-he-hey hey, this is bad, myself from the inside was screaming, my heart was also beating fast huh? It can’t be, It’s coming from the other person who feels that way.

“So, if not including Ridi, who do you like the most?”

I panicked until I asked, what did I just asked?

“Eeh, think first….Sildie is a friend during childhood…I like her where she waits for the protagonist, is all cute and innocent or she would devote herself to him”

Looking at her sketchily, she’s kind of a character like that, it’s not weird that people would misunderstand that—

“But what I didn’t like about the game, is the way of its presentation being shown, but aside of the protagonist taking care of her, she would fight difficult fights, like it was nothing to her, and I can see her slender figure and is clumsy, but her character’s pretty strong”

“…!’

“Aramiya?”

“Aya ya, just this, thank you for your answer!”

For what’s appropriate to point out, there’s nothing wrong with it, Cynthi is a friendly childish character, whom everyone would play and misunderstood about her, but Ayame could see the quintessence of her.

Ayame is seriously enjoying playing games

Well I’m pretty happy if she is serious about it

“Aramiya, if I’m stuck in the game, will you help me out please?”

Hooii Ayame you, you’re a yankee, ‘used goods’, and a prostitute on top of that, But if you’re enthusiastic about playing games, then……

“ You’re a fellow friend otaku, so that’s not bad”….I thought teasingly

♦♦♦

 

“Hey Aramiya, are you dating AYAME?” I spat out coffee from my mouth in surprise.

“EEEEEW, THAT’S DISGUSTING!”

“TOZAKI, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?”

Our homeroom period just ended, and I was getting my stuff ready for my next class. But Tozaki, geez, could you please lower your tone, but he got me into the conversation with him.

“Well, I heard the news that you dragged Ayame out of the classroom, before homeroom started, you two walked back here together”

“Just like that, you think this means that’s we’re dating, that’s how you look at it easily and understand?!”

“EASY TO UNDERSTAND!?”

“Hey buddy, are your ears deaf or what!?”

I think we should stop this stupid argument for crying out loud.

“It’s not like that between me and Ayame, that’s all!”

“Then what happened during the morning?”

“It’s a long story”

I can’t explain to him what happened, about the fact Ayame asked me about Eroge games, how are people going to react to her if they find out about it, they would gossip about it, but it has nothing to do with me, but…

I will explain it to him, after I find out the reason, but first I have to think of a story of my own in my case first.

Because she said “I will become your dream girl”

There’s no way I wanna tell him that easily/casually.

“Come on, I just wanna hear your long story, if it’s true”

“….please leave me alone”

Then I picked up my stuff for my next class that I need to head to, before I put my face onto my desk and sleep, but—

“Hey Aramiya:

This voice came from Ayame, the way how she called me, seems to have mellowed down a little bit, or perhaps a lot

“What is it?”

Ever since what happened this morning, I feel pretty more relaxed whenever I’m around with Ayame. I used to flinch and that was tiring and frantic about it, and had my entire body stiff.

“I have something I wanna ask you”

“Do you have to ask me here or not right now?”

“ No, maybe after this class is over, so no need to do it here”

“…Then how about during at lunch?”

“Mmh, that’s fine, remind me”

After we had our conversation, Ayame went back to her seat.

I watched as she went to her seat and sat in a proper manner, as I sighed heavily “*Sigh*”, at this moment, Tozaki smiled as me playfully.

“So Aramiya, it’s true that you guys are dating, RIGHT RIGHT!?”

“Not listening, not listening to you”

Ever since I was born, this is the very first time I wanted class to start quickly now. Then class ended during in the morning, and lunch break started. I brought Ayame into a room where we promised to meet at

“This place is?”

“An assembly room, about that”

This is a storage room where games are being placed and stored in here, loads of them are disorganized

In this room, there are two work desks. On those desks are computer screens with terminals. I found this social room for the purpose of creating a society of my own, meant for making a digital gaming club.

….There was a case from the student council president, who’s sweet as sugar, with a girl who was hot as spicy like a Habanero pepper, with a boy, who tried to take down this clubroom….but am I going to let them have it their way? I will do what I can to defend this room until things are safe and sound.

“No one comes around in here, it’s safe to talk in here, but what did you want to ask exactly?”

“Eh, before that, it’s this…”

Ayame then took out her wrapped cloth bag, before she approached, I wonder why she brought it and gave me a bag.

“A-another lunch box again?”

“Ah err…I bothered you this morning didn’t I, so this is my way of apology to you”

So she’s apologizing to me for what happened this morning? Then, for what happened was pretty weird, but a lunch box should’ve been prepared before this then.

But for this moment, I shouldn’t think too much.

“errr, then Itadakimasu( Let’s eat )! “

Her food is pretty delicious, so there’s no reason why I should refuse.

“Today I get to eat with Aramiya”

“Ehh?”

“Eh err…well yesterday, didn’t I tell you that I would eat lunch with you….but the situation at that ended up becoming….”

Yesterday, it looked as if you wanted me to eat every single thing or you didn’t want me to have your fists, but you wanted to “Eat together with me” right?

Hey hey, this is bad, what is this? I feel that my pulse in my heart is starting to beat a lot faster, because of what?

“Bu-but none of that matters! You eat your food, while you’re at it, I want to ask you something, that’s all!”

Ayame said what she wanted, looked as if she’s trying to sound bashful, then sat on her seat, and I sat on the desk from the opposite of her side. We opened our lunch boxes together and said “Itadakimasu”, then we started digging into our food with our chopsticks.

“O-okay, what did you want to ask me about?”

76.

“Ah… I want you to recommend some games for me.”

“Recommend?”

“Last time I bought the game for the beginner that people on the Internet told me. But if possible, I want to play the one that you will recommend for me.”

I was nearly going to accuse Ayame’s determined word but after thinking deeply I stopped doing that. Even though that girl’s personality was something I don’t prefer, my personality was not the type to stop a comrade who also likes the same as I do to not shine.

“Ermmm.. There were ‘Fate Arterial’, ‘Azure cross sun shine’, ‘MarsJupiter -JupiterMars’, the one that has darker stories like ‘Yustistear The Heaven’s Wing’, the older types like ‘Canon’ or ‘From Heart’, and ‘Can’t Find Any Good Things In This Love’ or ‘Give Me Choco, the Love Conqueror’.”

“Wa-wa-wait! Let me at least take notes.”

Then Ayame took her student notebook and pen out.

Oh crap I said too much, and even though she didn’t have much paper, is it even a good idea to write eroge names on a note?? Hmm.. it’s up to you yourself, since I won’t know what happens after this.

“Ah.. It will cost a lot, can you buy it?”

77.

Eroge is very expensive for high school students since it would probably cost 10,000 yen per game. So basically, high school students can’t afford it. Normally, those are things that a mere high school student can’t just buy willingly.

“At the time when I bought ‘Princess * Weekdays’ it costed me a lot….. Are those games you told me around that game’s price too?”

“Ummm… There are also old games with the ones I told you about. Those games should be cheaper but most are expensive like this.”

“Is that so… I can’t buy it after all, because I don’t get too much money anyway.”

That time I thought about asking “What about your sideline’s fee?” But I’m just too afraid to ask her about it. Because I think it’s not proper or rather, it’s impolite to ask someone like that at this state, even if I told her that I would still be the one who won’t stand it.

“Looks like you’ve got a lot of money that you can even afford it all…”

Ayame murmured with an impressive feeling.

“Well I do have part time jobs to collect money for it.”

“Oh well. What kind of job is it?”

“Sales clerk in a Minimart.” (Night shift btw)

“You’re crazy.”

Ayame commented about it and sighed out herself, but it wasn’t like she’s being a snub or something. All she ever hear from is that I work part time to look for money, and use it for purchasing games—or in fact, eroge games—and she might get the idea and say that she can do the same as well.

“But, my payment should be arriving in today, I might be able to buy 3 of them”

“That sounds pretty rich”

I decided to tease her a bit.

“Errm, I bet your daddy[1] customers give you much money as well”

Her daddy customers could be someone from her prostitution work?—but would I still dare ask her that?

“The thing is, don’t give it to people for free”

I wouldn’t dare get too deep with the topic about her prostitution work, I might as well change the topic.

“G-GIVE OUT?”

“Copy discs”

“As in burn dvd discs and give them away right?”

“Yeah, that’s right, thing is don’t copy and sell the products”

That was pretty funny, for a person who isn’t even 18 yet, but playing 18+ rated games, talking about this right now.

But if it’s me, I might have my personal rights to do what I wish and no one can tell me to stop. In the case of copying discs, I can’t it accept at all. I understand that playing games for free, it’s a good idea, I used to love doing that. But when I admire the heroine in the game that I play for free, I started to oddly feel ashamed.

“Copying discs, isn’t that really the same as stealing…?”

“That’s correct, but once they start copying digital data, people who did that won’t be thinking it that way and there are lots of people who are like that. I think that letting you borrowing my disc isn’t a good idea as well, and that would be considered as wrong as well”

“I wouldn’t do something like that at all, stealing things isn’t something I do…”

She clearly spoke out, with a heavy toned voice. She spoke as if she’s surprised, because she thought that she could do something without knowing the consequences. But if she spoke out like that, then she fully knows that copying discs is bad

“On the other hand, if I want to copy discs, but I don’t know how to do it, but I don’t know  much about computers either”

“Really? Then that’s fine”

Then when I was about to eat all the food from my lunch box,

“Attention, Seiichi Aramiya, from class 2-4, please, Seiichi Aramiya, from class 2-4, please, please report to Kiriko Kotani sensei, that will be all”

There was an announcement coming from the speakers.

“Aramiya, what did you do this time?”

“Nothing, I didn’t do anything, coming from it, I think it must be about business involving me”

Right now, Ayame and I exited the assembly room, and are headed to the teacher staff’s room.

Ayame just decided to tag along.

“Did you get called because of me? You hardly ever get into trouble”

Before that “But if that’s the case, then I will clamor for you” After she declared that, she and I got out of the room together

“What’s this business you have?”

“Well, I think that this case could be complicated”

I’m trying to assure myself that whatever I’m called for, isn’t what I think I got called for, and didn’t do anything wrong, and it’s been like that a lot for myself. But if it’s like that, I can’t just ignore it just like that.

True, they shouldn’t just announce any announcements for themselves whenever they wish at any time, if they want to call me, then just call me already.

Then we arrived at the teacher’s staff room, that is just ahead, right between for the buildings of first and second years, where students would walk through the hallways there, and the students  just instantly made broke up a path for me to walk through.

“You should perhaps go back to our classroom”

“….I’m staying here, even if I went back, there’s nothing to prepare for,  so I will wait for you right here”

Just like that, I became very serious about my situation

Then I opened the door to the teacher staff’s room, about to enter, since I didn’t say anything to Ayame for now.

“Could Seiichi Aramiya from class 2-4 come in please”

I got myself ready for it and be normal, and I entered into the staff’s room quickly.

During the day, there are lots of people in the room who are very busy, and the person who’s sitting relaxingly is eating her lunch while in the staff room. My business is right with the teacher who’s sitting right at the very right corner of the room amongst the staff group. I honestly don’t know why my homeroom teacher Ohara sensei is calling me.

“I’m here Kotani sensei”

“Oh, you’re here Seiichi”

The person who called me—Kotani Kiriko Sensei, turned her chair to face me.

“Could you please stop calling me sensei, I’m your senpai and you’re my kouhai, so no need to be so formal and polite, so you can relax, you can call me Kiriko-senpai if you want”

“But if I start calling you that, then I can’t consider you as a teacher then”

She tied her black hair very high into a black ponytail. She wore a suit, but her face looks relaxing to approach and talk to, She sat in her chair with her legs crossed, with her hands right on the back of her head, and her back leaning on her chair. You could say that from how she looks and acts, that she’s easy going and quite lazy, is she really my senpai? She’s like an older sister instead of mom, who helped me with so many things before, and came to my house a lot. But until now, I didn’t honestly think she would become a teacher at this School now.

“Hahaha, in our School, we are student and teacher, I’m just checking to see if you’re doing well with yours studies or not”

Just like that, she teased me, well she’s always like that

“And what is this business exactly that my Homeroom teacher Ohara Sensei have with me?”

“Hmmm, the same thing, I want to check how Kiriko neechan is doing”

Kiriko spoke gently and clearly, you could say that Ohara and Kirko neechan are pretty much close with each other, might be because they are colleagues together.

“eerrm, lunch break is about to be over, so let’s get to the point”

Kiriko Senpai uncrossed her legs, then sat properly now, and smiled very brightly.

Seiichi, word is around that you and Ayame are dating, right?”

“Where did you get that from…”

“I heard it from Ohara sensei, and ever since School started, I’ve seen the two of you together pretty much frequently.”

….Ohara sensei, why did she have to tell her that?

“Then I asked Tozaki about it, and he said he saw the whole thing as well”

WHAT?! THAT BASTARD! I already told him that it was nothing like that, but he had to spill it out to the teachers just like that! Why doesn’t that Eroge game bastard friend of mine get it?

“When you came in here, I saw Ayame out there now”

“…Eh? You were watching out there?”

If it’s like that, does she want me to turn my back and see her? If that’s the case, then it could be because of her being my girlfriend.

“So, I would like you to help and reform her if you would please”

“…HAAH?”

“Reform her. I’m asking you to please change that lazy delinquent“

“Wh-what are you saying sensei? Why does it have to be me, if you were to leave her to me, that could be a huge problem, and I might not be able to do it”

“I’ve never seen her become so close with someone before, aside from you”

“Because of that, YOU WANT ME TO CHANGE HER?!”

Just until that, I was speechless, but she didn’t need to remind me again. Screw this!

“Yes, this is the only chance to turn her life around! If you miss this chance, she might turn into something inhumane! People like her won’t listen to other people too. We can’t do anything. So…”

“Umm, can I ask for a request too? I don’t mean you to burden all of this, but I’ll try to do my best….”

“Err, Sensei? I remember you being threatened by her that you can’t even speak anything, yes?”

“Err, ummm, the thing about what you said is true… B…but I don’t want to lose this opportunity also. I feel bad using you like a tool, but at least it’s a motivation for her to change even a little bit.”

Seeing how this turned out, my homeroom teacher is pretty serious about it

“We of course don’t exactly mean you have to do everything you can to do something about reforming her to change, that’s all”

“Do something to reform her…”

“You can go and convince her to study together with you as well, right?”

“Ar-ARE YOU INSANE? You just say whatever the heck you want! I don’t see any good coming out from this!”

“Don’t be embarrassed, since this is your choice from now on”

…”So what if I don’t agree to this then?”

As I asked her, Kiriko-nee chan got up from her chair, and leaned her face close to my ear and whispered—

“I’m going to announce on the speakers like I did moments ago, and let everyone in the whole School know about your hobbies”

“HAAH…!”

“Including the fact that you play your eroge games at your club as well”

Oh crap, because of this, this is exactly why I don’t like having someone as a relative knowing everything about me! Like barging into other people’s rooms without permission

“What, wait wait, they’re Eroge games, and you’re not even 18 yet, isn’t that right?

What the hell is this..!

“Nee-san, are you actually going to help me? Please don’t argue about this assignment”

Oh man, how am I supposed to win against her in this situation! I’m pretty hopeless in this battle already! Normally, announcements are called, but this announcement is meant for something like this? Or..

She’s definitely saying to me “I’m going to expose your secrets to the whole School about what hobbies you do” something like that…!

“FINE FINE, I’ll do it, Happy now? Geez!”

After our compromise, Kiriko sensei then led me to sit on the other chair

“Please understand that she…oh, sensei is very happy”

Ohara sensei, sitting at my side is disturbed saying “Kiriko, please don’t force him to do this”,

But she laughed and said “I’m not forcing him”, being cheeky now, wow, I didn’t think she could become this cheeky. I was speechless.

“How about this way, right now, no one is mentioning anything about her failing her classes, but if this continues, she will have to repeat a year”

“It’s weird to talk about this, but….is that what’s the problem here, that’s it?”

“From what we’re seeing here now, there’s been a huge gossip about it, but we don’t know if it’s true or not, so you don’t need to believe in it”

If you’re asking me to stop her from doing her side stuff, then I might not pull it off.

“Don’t put too much hope into me then”

“No, I do have high hopes for you. There’s nothing more for you here now Seiichi.”

“We’ll leave her to you then, Aramiya”

After receiving my assignment from these two

“Errr- err yeah, Seiichi”

After she finished her words with me, I then turned my head backwards

“Amongst your flipping mobile phone and your Smartphone, you turned the GPS for both of them, right?”

“They’re still on, is there a problem? If you look at them, then you could check if the GPS is turned on or not”

“Nothing, if you were to be missing, then I would be sad then”

“…Aren’t you chatty huh”

She’s being kind of all a sudden, I don’t know if she’s teasing me or not

“That’s true, but if you know where I am, then I’d be creeped out by it”

“I’m the one who paid for your phones, so don’t complain, because I care about you”

“Am I supposed to believe….that you care about me?”

I can already tell that Kiriko sensei is definitely not going to back off from this

But, she’s the one who got permission from my mom and dad to pay for my phones.

She also used to look for me whenever I got lost when we both were younger

“Be sure to turn it on when you’re outside of your house”

“I got it I got it, than you very much”

Then I exited the teacher staff room, right outside is Ayame, standing right outside it

“You’re finished, how did it go?”

“It’s just private business for myself, that’s all”

“Why did it need to involve you Aramiya?”

Be quiet you, there wasn’t any problem, if that’s the case, then I’ll explain it to you

“…I don’t usually like to tell people, but Kotani sensei is my cousin”

“Ehh? She’s your cousin, that teacher? Wow, then she must be your biggest supporter then”

“If this gets out to the whole School, then people would start gossiping about it, so I would appreciate if you keep quiet about it”

“Understood, it’s not something that you should tell others about it”

With her understanding about it, helps a lot

…Alright, even though I didn’t wanna do it, I have no choice with what I need to do with Ayame

“Ayame, today’s afternoon session, what are you going to do?”

“Ehh? Well, attend it then”

Huuh? I thought she’s going to skip it like she usually does

“…You’re not going to ditch it?”

“If you ditch it, then I’ll ditch it”

“Ehh? You’re going to follow me?”

“Well of course”

Say what?

“…It’s because I want to be with you, as long as I can, even if it’s a little closer to you, then it’s fine”

I don’t know if this will work out, like Kiriko wanted me to deal with her like this…is this going to work out or not?

 

As Ayame got to the afternoon class session together with me, the entire class got frightened,

Our sensei for the fifth period, his eyes bulged as he saw her, but not that much, meaning that he must be surprised. The problem is, our classmates have their eyes on us, saying that they want to ask me some questions

Tozaki who’s sitting behind me, tapped/poked me from behind before handing me a piece of paper

In that paper, it was written “So it is true about between you and Ayame, right?”

…I sighed in exhaustion. I wrote back “NO!”, and passed the piece of paper back to Tozaki’s desk, who did not look at it, since he didn’t want the sensei to see it. Damn, he’s enjoying this isn’t he?

“So, at this X, we then take the calculation—“

Our sensei keeps writing on the chalkboard as he kept on explaining. As moments passed by, Tozaki poked me from behind again. I was annoyed, but reluctantly took the note and opened it and was written

“It’s awesome that you’re able to get Ayame under your wing, that’s amazing! BY Matoba” “When did you guys start dating? BY Ujida” “I wish you both happiness! BY Sakai” “Take care of Ayame! BY Mikamoto”

There are other messages being written down. That bastard Tozaki is letting other people read it! It seems that piece of paper is being passed around the classroom, like a friendship book for signing like that!

I then wrote by replying “SHUT UP ALL OF YOU! By Aramiya” then I sent it back

Then after moments have passed by again

“AAAAAAH……!”

Someone screamed pretty loudly, like there was something going on from the back of the classroom. Sensei himself, turned back to the room to see what was it, and I also did the same. I don’t know how, but that piece of note ended up in the hands of AYAME. Ayame then looked at the piece of note intensely….before she crushed it. Then—she banged on her desk pretty loudly for the whole room to hear. Just from that, I could only tell what Ayame is about to say and with what mood she’s feeling now,

Everyone’s face in the whole room became pale and scared, even the sensei himself was shaking in fear.

Making fun of people for amusement, of course this is the consequence they must accept, scared or not. Then the intense moment has passed by and cleared up, and nothing else happened after that until class has ended. Ayame herself sat and listened in class obediently, making sensei very confused about it, but there was nothing else aside from that. Our classmates looked at Ayame and are trying to cope if she wants to fight, but Ayame was making quite a moody face . But when I looked at her, she would change her scrunched up face into a bright smile. I seems that she really wants to sit in class with me.

….Looks like the job that Kiriko sensei asked me to, seems to be going smoothly I guess

“Ahh, Aramiya, would you like to walk home together?”

Suddenly, there was a polite speech that my ears were listening to, and I turned instantly to see who it was. It was Ayame, who’s in front of me, and I looked around the room, and there wasn’t anyone else who seemed to have said it,

“Wo-would you like to walk home together?”

There’s no doubt it was Ayame, I can’t act like I don’t know who it was. Who would’ve thought that Ayame who would usually talk in a rude manner, starts to speak very politely like this this.

“Errr Uum, yeah, let’s go home together then!”

I answered her in response, and I walked out of the classroom. Ayame watched and followed me out of the classroom as well.

“Wh-wha but, Ayame, what’s up with you of all a sudden? Why were you talking like that now?”

“N-nothing, when I was sitting in the afternoon class session, I thought th-that, heroines in those games, they wouldn’t talk in a rude manner like I did, so I…”

That’s right, in ‘Princess*weekday’, there are no heroines who would talk in such a rude manner like Ayame usually does

“And those heroines in the games, they would talk in a polite speech manner….like this”

“…Really, so you are trying to adjust yourself to be like my ideal girl right?”

“…Yes”

She’s trying to definitely fake her personality, since there’s no way you can change it in one night

But I’m retty confused fo about her trying to think about changing herself into my ideal girl

“S-so, what do you think…?”

It sounds as if she’s on crack, I’d better tell her that now

“it’s not perfect”

She then suddenly changed her speech manner to become more proper, as her image just changed immediately

“Oooh really? Not proper/appropriate? But if we continue…”

But instead, she wasn’t angry, not just that, she’s still determined to continue. If others try to adapt themselves in order to approach someone, then most guys would have fallen in love already. Unfortunately, she has met me, who only cherishes innocent young girls. Please, just quickly give up, this would be better for me. But since I’m ordered by Kiriko sensei, I cannot flare up in any ways

We’ve been speaking about that until we walked down to the exit of the building, which turned out that….

“Hey, please I really don’t have any money on me.”

“You usually let me borrow yours. So please”

“B..but t..t…the money you borrowed from me… You still haven’t paid it back…”

When I heard that conversation, I know that it’s the standard of mowing money by lulling them but not letting have a chance. When I saw them doing like in the manuals, it’s quite funny. Two bigger male students stands and blocks the target from escaping. The person who’s cornered is quite small and I can’t see the face, but knowing that person is wearing a male uniform. From that, I guess that it happened many times, so I will not meddle-

“Oi, what are you doing?”

“Huh? Ayame?”

She walk towards to the said group before grabbing the collars of the two male students. She spoke that there’s an intent to kill in it, and she glares at them too.

“Doing something like this, aren’t you thugs embarrassed about this?”

“W…what!?”

“Just asking for a bit of help, scram!”

“You guys seems to like making excuses, that makes me want to puke.”

“T…this guy is our junior when we were in junior high!”

“Yeah, we took him under our wing ever since!”

When they started making lame excuses, she sighs loudly, which marks that ‘Are you satisfied? Boring.’.

And my instincts told me that what she’s going to do next as she let her hands and start to twist.

“That’s enough!”

I yelled, and ran in to lock her from behind with my hands. As I looked at her, she’s looks as if she’s ready to punch them, luckily I stopped her in time.

“A…Aramiya!?”

No, heck, why did I try to stop her!?

Putting myself in this, this isn’t like myself at all.

I don’t know the reason or how to explain it out, but… seems that I don’t want see her brawling on other people. Maybe because she’s trying to be polite. So I thought- If she can manage that, I can do it too. Even though the polite part has already gone into clouds!

“What?? What?” “What’s going on?” “A brawl?”

And other students that were about to leave the School, started popping around the area.

“Tsk…Let’s go…”

“Man, what the heck! Remember this, you twat! Don’t meddle in other people’s business!”

And both of them left, looking emotionless. And the boy who was being cornered quickly left too, running back into the building without a word or a chance to see his face. And then, the crowd dispersed away like nothing has happened. Nothing happened maybe is a good thing perhaps?

But that person should’ve at least thanked her before running off… or he was scared of her?

When I was about to calm down, Ayame started to squirm like she’s being tickled.

“A…Aramiya… Y…your…hands….”

Her voice becomes lower and lower. Eh? Hands? I squeeze a little and I found out it’s quite soft.

And I lock her from behind… That means…

“Whoa!”

And I finally realize before quickly letting go and step away from her. She curled down, hands crossing her breasts and turned her head at me. Her face is red with a bit of angry expression.

“I…I’m sorry! I didn’t meant to do that!”

Even though I said that, the feeling on my hand won’t fade away, even though there’s student uniform, T-shirt, bra. But the lingering sensation in my hands turned to look realistically grotesque, as the sense cannot be received from the 2D world. My mind was in deep heavy thoughts

The crowd that was dispersed before, because of the extortion going on, are still gathering and looking. A scream then came out really loudly.

“WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT!? WHO TOLD YOU TO LOOK? GET OUT OF HERE!”

Ayame got real heated and roared scarily for them to hear. Then in a few seconds, there was silence everywhere, and students who were within around the School area, got to their Shoe lockers and changed their Shoes, and quickly ran away out of sight

“…There’s no one around here anymore”

Ayame checked to see if there’s no one else around before getting up

‘Ahh, Err…”

When I was about to apologize to her, Ayame shook her head

“I-If it’s you, then I wouldn’t mind, I was just surprised, that’s all”

….Then, she wouldn’t mind if I did that to her?! I was about to ask her that, but didn’t want to anyway. She gave me a squinted look first

“But during that moment, did you like it when you were squeezing them?”

“O-OF COURSE NOT! I didn’t like it!”

It seemed that I was squeezing them like Eh? What are these rounded things? WAIT WAIT! I’m so sorry!

“Re-Really?…”

Then Ayame’s face started looking sad, like she understood what I said to her.

“It looks like I can’t keep using a polite speech manner forever huh, that’s the last of my trait that came out from me”

When she stepped in there to stop the money extortion, her polite speech manner was instantly destroyed. I honestly didn’t think Ayame would interfere with people who would extort money from others in the first place,

I thought that she wouldn’t interfere ever again, I guess I was wrong.

“B-But I will still try and talk in a very polite manner, and I won’t give up no matter what”

She then talked shyly.

I was then distracted from that.

‘If it’s for me to become your ideal girl of yours, I still have a long way to go, but not—-“

“it’s not like that”

I argued with Ayame, just because she would always talk in a polite manner would mean all is good.

“I like it if a girl talks in a manner that fits her personality instead”

I think that the most important thing is be yourself or not others. The thing is, I never wanted my ideal girl to always talk in a polite speech manner

“You don’t need to force yourself to talk so politely, doing that is meaningless”

There’s no need to tell her instead, *Sigh*, what am I doing exactly? Ever since in the beginning, I’ve never done anything that’s from my own by myself.

“R-Really? Errm, then, I will be what I was before”

But Ayame, heard me and smiled in relief and happiness.

I don’t know how to explain this, but it fit’s like this, it’s all good. Ayame didn’t understand the concept of polite speech manner, that’s for sure.

I split up with Ayame then went back home before I went to my part time job, the convenience store I worked at

♦♦♦

 

“That will be 1,580 yen Sir, taking in 2080 yen, your change is 500 yen Sir, would you like your receipt? Thank you for using our service Sir”

Then I took care of my customers like I usually do, at my convenience store for five days, the one I explained about to Ayame. At evening at 19:00 now, there would be less customers around periodically, because around here, this convenience store is at a Shopping center.

I started doing part time work during last year, until now, after putting things into a shelf, it’s now comfortable for me in my workplace.  Because I found myself a new heroine, I started feeling spirited with my work. I placed the things in the shelves in their places, I kept doing it until 21:00,

“That’s enough for today Aramiya”

That’s the end of my shift then

“If it’s that, I’ll be going home then”

I changed into my School uniform quickly, and then exited my workplace.

Man, even though it’s spring season now, tonight is pretty cold. I strided quickly in order to get back home as quickly as I could. I feel pretty bored, stared at my Smartphone’s screen, and saw messages coming into my inbox

“Tozaki and Kiriko-nee chan or”

I checked and opened Tozaki’s message first

“Did you really rape Ayame at the exit of the building where you came out from, seriously?”

If I had the strength to crush an apple with my hand, then it would’ve been the same with my smartphone as well. This bastard, he’s crossing the line, what is he talking about, I wasn’t even molesting her

…But, it’s true that I felt her breasts in my hands, hmmm….

But Ayame didn’t seem to like it at all. But why did it turn into a situation where it looked like I raped her. Whatever they’re saying about me, they’re definitely misunderstanding.

“DIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, YOU GOT THE WRONG IDEA, YOU CAN JUST DIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

Well, I’d better try clear up the misunderstanding from whatever news he has heard it from

“Where did you get this news from? And are there any other stories you heard or not?”

I’d better send this message then. After I clicked send, I then opened up from Kiriko’s message.

“I heard that you were able to get Ayame to finally start attending classes by forcing her right? Oooh, you better keep up the good work. Love ya, Kiss x2”

“…Heeeh”

I sighed, I get the feeling I’ve been sighing a lot lately

“I’m just glad that things went smoothly. But I don’t know about next time, and I don’t care if this allows you to marry your cousin”

I replied with that.

And after I send her my reply, Tosaki send back his reply too.

“Stop sending me scary shit! And the rumor I heard it  from Mikamoto. She said that she saw you guys at the building entrance, and what do you mean other news?”

The truth is- I don’t care where he heard this from.. But the thing is, I don’t like it when people do not mention the good part like about stopping people from mugging other people off, but instead have interest in other things. Even Kiriko-neechan knows the truth, that side of it should have been known as well.

♦♦♦

In the end, everyone just make rumors for fun or making things up they want to believe in.

And I’m now at the shopping district. As I see the people are getting crowded together, I put my phone away

“Eh?”

And in that moment, I saw a silhouette of a person I know in the middle amongst that crowd. It’s Ayame.

She didn’t wear torn jeans like last time. But a white skirt, grey socks that cover her thighs and a crème cardigan, with her same black twin-tailed hairstyle.

I looked her from behind, and she’s wearing normal girl clothing. I had a thought like: and what? With her being around here now has nothing to do with me. But- the thing I’m very curious about is who’s the man she’s with. It’s not any normal guy, but a middle-aged man in a suit. Even though they aren’t mingling, but are like walking real close.

“Well, I got some more cash today. I might be able to buy some of the games in your list.”

(Page 108)

“Errm, I guess so, your dad still gives you a lot of money though”

I thought about the conversation Ayame and I had during on lunch break today

….This means, this is what her sideline job is like right!?

Okay, it’s already 9:00 pm at night, seems like the rightful convenient time for that to happen. I don’t know how the procedure is like exactly for this to happen,  but I’ll go to where I’m supposed to be at. I’m feeling authentic about where this situation is going, with the two of them walking close together towards a motel

“…Hmmm”

If this was an Eroge game right about now, then this would be like a mistaken event or go in to stop event.

…but this is reality, and I don’t have any sense of duty to go in and do any of that.

“But this is kind of uncomfortable…”

With her saying that she wants to be my girlfriend, but then sells her body to another man. So looking from this perspective, she is doing it for money after all. No, about how I feel right now is really weird, and I didn’t want anything to do with her in the first place. I just wanted to confirm that she’s a bitch, that’s all.

“My homeroom teacher and Kiriko neechan are definitely mistaking about this…”

Well, we aren’t even that close, not even one bit, I’d better reprimand her for what she did, that’s the first thing I’m gonna do.

I got unfolded the fact that I like Eroge games, and with Ayame being enthusiastic about playing them is a pain in the ass

“But, hmmm….”

Why am I feeling that I can’t accept this, this confusing feeling is weird. It’s not because I’m thinking about Ayame, but it’s more like it has something to do with the fact that Ayame’s behavior change has been big news about her,

For me I don’t care much, I just stay inside my room on 2nd floor getting my dried PE uniform into the bag

“Seiichi!! There’s a guest who’s here for you”, I heard mom’s calling from downstairs

Who? A guest would mean not the delivery officer, since I didn’t order any eroge on delivery though

….I’ve got a bad feeling about this, so then I got my bag on my shoulder and walked downstairs

Suddenly there’s someone who walked to the shoe-cabinet and made an anxious face and then

“H..hi Aramiya….”

It’s Ayame! For real, WHY IS SHE HERE?!

“There’s a girl here for Seiichi?” “Eh?! There’s a girl coming for that piece of s**t??”

My’s Dad and sister looked from the living room, Hey wait what? That was mean of her!!!

“Hey get away!! It’s shame get back to the living room”

“My my, mom is so happy that today mom will cook Red Rice for you” “I didn’t think  Seichi would ever have a woman coming for him in his lifetime” “Wahh you’re so beautiful! You Erectionless virgin”

“I said that this is embarrassing! Dammit, I gotta get to school”

I stop trying to push them back into the living room on the side before coming out from the house. And we walk to the school normally.

“Did I cause you trouble?”

She ask with concern, but I think the folks in my house are the ones who caused the trouble

“I’m sorry, the folks in my house are a bit weird…”

“Nah, it’s nothing”

Aside from that, I’ve got more important things to ask her

“But why did you come to my house?”

I already know the reasons but, as I asked her, she replied

“The heroine in “Azure cross sunshine” did this as well, so I …”

Just as I thought that she got it from Eroge but she played it instantly after bought?

Not bad I thought I was wrong, but it looks like you used the extra time to play instead of sleep, since you look really sleepy alright.

112

“I check the name on contact list by map app in phone and found that it’s not far ,so… ”

My school contact list  got even address?

“you don’t like it? Did I have to be a childhood friend to be able to do this?..”

“N……No”

Umm let pass the things that Ayame talk about

If you ask me that I hate it? I would said no but I am surprised. To tell the truth even normal people would be happy to have a girl come for them. But I won’t tell that I’m very happy, it will be a lie, I  feel a little bit happy… may be

“Ah oh I forgot to say this, Good Morning Ayame”

“U Ummmm.. Good Morning”

I just realized that I forgot to reply to her and there were other things that I forgot

That I saw Ayame in shopping center yesterday. I look at her, looks like nothing’s changed,  no sign that she did the sideline.

 

113

…Nah it looked suspicious….

Did she do her sideline job, went back home and played eroge, then woke up early after a bit of sleep? Isn’t she forcing herself? Looks from her face looked sleepy, and stayed up until dawn. Huh, and she made up for it

“Aramiya why do you look unhappy ?”

…keep it inside and stay calm,  I feel like I’m gonna explode! I should make it clear for tomorrow too!!

“um Ayame, last night you were at the shopping center right?”

“Eh? Oh yes I was there, how did you know?”

“I saw you there …”

“heeeh, is that so, you could’ve called out to me back then”

… eh why is she so calm? Didn’t she went into that hotel with her customer last night? Did she mean that I can come with them, so that it would’ve been a threesome? Whaaa, THIS IS CRAZY. Just stay calm, this is not the time to think like it was an eroge game

“Ummm,  I saw you going with some guy, so I….”

“If it was about that, there’ no reason why you should be all worked up about it, that was my papa and all.”

“Your papa….”

“Papa is just papa, he’s my dad. If I see him going anywhere means it could be when he went to the carpark”

“Your father?” Then that means I have made a huge misunderstanding, right?

The fact that people rumored her as a bitch, travelling without saving and yes, doing sidelines have made the word ‘papa’ to b
