Chapter 76: CH 77

Supporting High School Student XXXXXXXXXXXXX

“They went pretty easy on us huh.”

“……yeah.”

“We are not at fault so this is normal I guess.”

“……yeah.”

“Suzuka, your swimsuit strap is slipping off you know.”

“…..yeah…….EHHH!? It’s not!”

The pool security did not give us a hard time. After all, we were the victims and I didn’t even raise a hand to hit them back. As an apology, they promised to ban the two playboys from the pool and we also received vouchers for the stalls here.

Still, the problem now is how depressed Suzuka became. Perhaps the thought that I got hurt because of her is weighing on her mind.

“So you do respond to that huh.”

“Of course I do…….”

“Haa, seriously, why are you so depressed all of a sudden…….”

“But Seiya-kun got hurt because I went and did something unnecessary…….”

As I thought, she really is blaming herself. But I can say for certain that it was not the case at all.

“If it weren’t for Suzuka, the two girls earlier would have been hurt right? You saved them, Suzuka.”

“But those two…….they are Seiya-kun’s friends, right? B, Because of me, your secret is……! I just yelled out your name back then……..!”

Certainly, Suzuka called me Seiya but honestly, I don’t think that it’s her fault given the situation. I was being punched right in front of her so I would be depressed instead if she doesn’t worry about me at all.

“Well, it doesn’t change anything since one of them already knew. Also, I’m glad that you are safe, Suzuka.”

“Seiya…..-kun……is your wound really okay? Is it……not swollen?”

“I told you I’m okay! This won’t  even affect our future shoots so don’t worry!”

“Uuh…..I’m glad…….sorry……..!”

Relieved, Suzuka started crying. I’m not used to a situation like this at all so I don’t know what to do.

“D, Don’t cry! Look! We got all these vouchers so let’s go eat some Churros! We can play on the waterslide again too!”

“….yeah……”

After that, I and Suzuka enjoy our time buying as many snacks as we could with the gold voucher we received and ended up doing the waterslide again.

She didn’t get as cheerful as when we arrived but Suzuka’s smile is gradually returning. Perhaps our fun time here can wash away the bad memories from earlier.

Since we have to go home before it got dark, I decided that it’s a good time to leave.

“Thanks for the wait, did you wait long?”

“No, I just finished earlier because I was using the dehydrator…….I bought some ice cream, do you want some?”

“I’m fine.”

“Is that so.”

There was little conversation between us as we walked home.

“…..hey, Seiya-kun.”

“……what is it?”

“…….I’m sorry about today…….”

Her voice was shaking a little.

“It’s not Suzuka’s fault alright? Rather, I think I need to thank you for protecting my classmates instead, you know.”

“But…..even so…….! It’s my fault that Seiya-kun…….! I know…….I know that I shouldn’t cry…..I know that it would be unfair if I cry……but……! I’m sorry……!”

Teardrops are spilling from Suzuka’s eyes. I didn’t know what to do so I gently pulled her in and stroked her head.

“…..why are you crying? You are a bright and cheerful girl right Suzuka? Instead of thinking that I got hurt because of you, let’s think that you managed to protect two girls by yourself okay?”

“…..yeah…….”

‘And….’ I said as I brought Suzuka’s hand to my cheek.

“I’m not injured at all, see? There’s no reason for you to cry now right?”

“…..yeah…..hey, Seiya-kun.”

“Wha-…..Muguh…….!?”

I turned to her when she called me. I didn’t know what I was doing after that. All I know is that in this dim street, I felt a soft touch on my lips and a sweet scent wafted to my nose.

I don’t know how long it lasted. Perhaps it was only a moment, perhaps it was an eternity, but my vision finally turned brighter and I put my fingers on my lips.

“….what did you…….?’

“I’m sorry for doing that so suddenly……”

I was kissed by Suzuka. Why? How? Various questions filled my head and I couldn’t form a word.

“…..Honestly, I never intend to say this. But, Seiya-kun was so gentle…….I couldn’t control my feelings…….”

“…….what are you talking about…?”

“Since I already kissed you, you should understand now……right? ………Seiya-kun, I like you.”

“Didn’t you already……have someone you like?”

“…..I was talking about Seiya-kun you know? No matter how much I got conscious of you, how many times I tried to make you see me that way, you didn’t respond at all right?”

The person she can talk to about anything, the person that never has an ulterior motive in approaching her. Thinking about it now, it could have been me all along.

That’s the reason why she couldn’t honestly state her feelings. But, it’s not true that I did not get conscious of her at all.

“Your swimsuit today……Uhh, my heart actually raced but I thought that Suzuka didn’t want to be looked at like that so I didn’t react……”

“…..ah, so that was the case. My efforts weren’t in vain after all.”

I can assure her that the efforts she put in, consciously or not, were super effective.

I like Suzuka. She’s a bright girl who I can interact easily with. She is also someone who knows both sides of me. Even so, until now I only like her as a friend.

That’s why when I’m told that she likes me, I do not know how to respond. After all, all this time I tried my hardest to not see her that way and I never thought that I would be seen like that by anyone either.

This applies to everyone I met at work as well as at school. Now I started talking with Eihashi-san and the others but I still do my best to not get involved in love stuff to make myself blend in as a mob as much as possible.

“I’m sor–”

“You don’t have to say anything. I know that you never saw me that way from the start. This is just a declaration on my part. I like Seiya-kun. But that girl probably—-no, I’m sure that there are also others that like Seiya-kun too. That’s why I want this out of my chest so that I don’t have to regret not saying anything at all.”

Suzuka said so with a serious expression.

“Is that so……I don’t know if there really are other girls that romantically like me but I’ve never thought about romance until now……”

“That is good news…..I think?”

“I don’t know but now I know what kind of feeling you have toward me, Suzuka.”

“Then I will not hesitate from now on! Be prepared for it okay?”

Said Suzuka as she winked at me.

“Somehow, I think it’s going to be even more difficult for me from now on huh…….”

Suzuka, who I thought was pretty attractive in the past, is now going further and beyond that. This is going to be a battle I have to fight for my sanity.
