Yuzuru went to the station where they were going to meet, wearing his usual shirt and jacket, with his hair waxed and styled.
Arisa had already arrived.
It was hot today, with some lingering heat.
Because of that, Arisa has dressed a little light.
She wore a see-through blouse with a cloak and a long skirt.
Her transparent decolletage was dazzlingly white and beautiful.
In her ears were stylish earrings.
She was wearing a little makeup, and her lips, which had always been full and beautiful, were now even more glossy and sensual.
Yuzuru inwardly tilted his head, wondering if it was just his imagination that she seemed to be getting more beautiful every time he saw her.
“Did I keep you waiting?”
“No, I just got here myself.”
After exchanging the usual phrases, Yuzuru referred to Arisa’s fashion today while trying not to look at her chest, which was a little too distracting.
“Today, it’s more feminine …… than usual.”
Yuzuru complimented Arisa, using a word he didn’t quite understand.
In fact, it looked very good on her, and it certainly made her feel more “feminine” than usual.
It was glamorous, but not obnoxious.
That’s the impression he got.
However, it would be embarrassing to say it directly, so he blurred it with a vague expression.
“Thank you very much. Yuzuru-san is also very cool…….”
“I’m grateful to hear you say so.”
But unlike Arisa, Yuzuru’s fashion doesn’t look that different from usual.
Then he inquired with Arisa.
“So what’s the movie about?”
“It’s this movie.”
Arisa then showed Yuzuru the screen of her smartphone.
Yuzuru’s eyes widened involuntarily.
“…… Oh wait, isn’t this a horror movie?”
It was a horror movie that had recently gained a reputation for being scary.
“Are you not a fan of horror?”
“No, I’m fine with it. …… Are you okay with it? Before, you said you didn’t like the dark. I thought you were the easily scared type.”
Then Arisa shook her head from side to side.
“I guess. Scary things are a little…… difficult. I might not be able to sleep at night.”
“……If it’s so, then why?”
Yuzuru could not understand why Arisa chose to watch horror movies even though she was not good at it.
But Arisa replied as if to say, what are you asking me?
“Don’t people watch horror movies because they want to be scared?”
“It’s …… well, if you ask me, it’s …… true, isn’t it?”
Horror movies are worthwhile because they are scary.
Some of them are B-grade horror films that are actually gags, but horror films are meant to be scary.
‘Horror is not at all scary!’
If you are one of those people who say that, you will not be able to enjoy horror in its true sense.
“And the girls in our…… class said it was funny. I’m scared, but at the same time I’m very interested.”
“I thought you were the type of person who doesn’t ride on trends.”
Yuzuru couldn’t help but think that Arisa seemed like a normal high school girl, which was unusual for her.
Then Arisa answered with a small smile.
“It’s not that I don’t like riding on trends, it’s that I can’t. because of the family situation.”
“……”
“Oh, that was a self-deprecating joke.”
When she saw Yuzuru’s strange expression, Arisa hurriedly made up for it.
Was it a good thing …… that she could now make a few jokes like that?
