#08 Capturing My Heart with Daifuku!

Shinonome-kun is coming to visit my house!!!

Truly, when one door closes, another opens!

When Masa-kun stole and ate my cake, I couldn’t stop crying, thinking “How did it come to this…” But now that I think about it, it turned out for the best!

Still, Shinonome-kun, as expected, sees through everything and is so considerate of me, he’s too wonderful.

When I’m with Shinonome-kun, I fall for him more and more.

My love knows no bounds, to the point where I wonder what will happen to me if I fall any deeper!

After I calmed down, Shinonome-kun continued to worry about me and thought about various things for the future.

Masa-kun… no, let’s stop calling him that.

Iizuka (the delusional, self-centered, twisted loner)!

Shinonome-kun thought of various countermeasures against Iizuka (the delusional one).

When I returned to the classroom, I immediately took Sa-chan and Kumi-chan, who are always with me, out to the hallway and tearfully explained who the cake was really for and that Iizuka (the self-centered one) was just a childhood friend and was really bothering me.

After hearing my story, both of them apologized for teasing me about it until now, and promised to cooperate in not dealing with Iizuka (the twisted one) anymore.

Then, when I got home, I told mama everything that happened today.

I had already told her that I was baking a pound cake as a thank you for Shinonome-kun who had given me a lot of advice, so I told her that it was stolen and eaten by Iizuka (the jerk) this morning before I could give it to him.

Then mama got even angrier than me and was about to storm over to Iizuka’s (the loner’s) house, but I somehow calmed her down and told her about inviting Shinonome-kun to our house this weekend to bake a cake for him again.

As soon as mama heard that, her attitude completely changed and she said, “Then we need to make an even more delicious cake! And we need to prepare your outfit perfectly! Should we go buy some sexy underwear?” She got more excited than me, and I had a hard time stopping mama’s rampage.

And then, Saturday.

The day Shinonome-kun is coming to my house.

On this day, I woke up early, took a shower, put on the clothes mama bought me for this day, and even tried a little makeup.

We had promised he’d come at 1 PM, but I couldn’t settle down from around 10 AM, vacuuming my room multiple times, sweeping the entrance, looking in the mirror and getting worried about my bangs, almost taking out scissors to cut them before mama stopped me saying “Don’t be hasty! That’s definitely a pattern for failure!” I was restless the whole time.

And then, 5 minutes before 1 PM.

The intercom went “Ding dong”!

I dashed to answer it, and it was the long-awaited Shinonome-kun!

After checking my hairstyle in the mirror one more time, I opened the door to greet him,

『It’s my first time seeing you in casual clothes, but Suzumiya-san, you’re quite stylish, aren’t you? It really suits your calm atmosphere.』

I can’t take it anymore…

I might get a nosebleed…

Shinonome-kun said I’m cute! (He didn’t actually say cute)

I really wanted to say “Shinonome-kun looks cool in casual clothes too!” but my face was so hot that I couldn’t look directly at Shinonome-kun and I was so nervous that I could barely manage to guide him inside the house.

Still, he greeted mama, and when I saw that Shinonome-kun was relaxed too, I finally managed to regain my usual self.

Or so I thought, but then came Shinonome-kun’s gift!!!

It was daifuku, my favorite! How did he know I love anko (red bean paste)!?

Is this the power of love!?

Shinonome-kun… how much more are you going to capture my heart before you’re satisfied!?
