Throughout my long years in elementary, middle, and high school, I’ve been forced into this unwanted relationship as childhood friends, leading to a stifling youth, but now that I’m in my second year of high school and have met Seiji-kun, spring has finally come for me! A big wave is coming my way!
How could I not ride this big wave!?
There’s nothing I’m afraid of now!
So, today I’m going to ask Seiji-kun for an after-school date.
「Seiji-kun♪」
『Ou, what’s up, Suzumiya-san?』
「I finished reading the book you lent me.」
『Oh, how was it? Did you cry at the end?』
「Yeah! My tear ducts were completely destroyed! It was really good!」
『I see, I see. My mom will be happy to hear that.』
「A-And, I want to go get the next book… is it okay if I come to Seiji-kun’s house today?」
『Eh? Today? That’s sudden. Well, I guess it’s fine.』
「Really!? Yossh! I’m wearing my lucky underwear today!」
『Oi, why would you need to wear lucky underwear for that!』
Fufufu, I’m going to be all sweet on Seiji-kun at his house today!
However, even on this day, there was no chance for my lucky underwear to shine.
Another day.
Amazing!
Thanks to Seiji-kun teaching me, my rank went up so much!!!
Even I’m surprised!
This must be thanks to Seiji-kun’s deep love, right!? I was so happy I cried.
Seiji-kun really is amazing.
He’s perfectly considerate, listens to all my complaints and worries, helps me when I’m in trouble, my grades went up a lot after he taught me, we share the same hobby of reading and have the same taste in books, and he even buys me daifuku and takes me out for oshiruko, how could I not fall for him!
So, as a thank you for teaching me, I’m going to invite him to my place again, and this time we’ll have some sweet time together, just the two of us.
「Seiji-kun, Seiji-kun♪」
『Ou, what’s up, Suzumiya-san?』
「My rank went up in the exams thanks to Seiji-kun, right?」
『U~n, it’s more because you worked hard yourself, isn’t it?』
Really, Seiji-kun is so humble and never brags about his help, how wonderful can he be!
「That’s not true! It’s thanks to Seiji-kun!」
『Alright, alright, no need to get so worked up.』
「A-And, I want to thank you again, so I was thinking of treating you to lunch at my place this Saturday…」
『Eh? At Suzumiya-san’s house? You’re going to cook?』
「Yeah, I’m planning to make it myself.」
『I’m coming! Homemade cooking from a female classmate! I definitely want to go!』
「Really? You’ll come?」
『Ou! The dream of eating homemade food from a classmate! I have to go!』
「Then, then, this Saturday, okay! I’ll do my best and put all my effort into it!」
And then, on Saturday.
For lunch, I made hamburg steak, spaghetti with meat sauce, fried shrimp, calamari rings, salad, and corn potage. By the way, the hamburger steak is a masterpiece in the shape of a heart.
『Uh~ I got carried away and ate too much… But, Suzumiya-san, you’re really good at cooking. It was really delicious.』
「Really!? Then, can I become a bride?」
『Yeah, I guess. A cute girl who’s good at cooking would have no trouble finding someone to marry her.』
Nnn?
I’m talking about becoming Seiji-kun’s bride… but we’re not quite on the same page…
「W-What about Seiji-kun? Seeing me as a bride…」
『Eh? My bride? U~n, I wonder~?』
「Never mind… you don’t have to answer…」
I ask him myself, but I only have a bad feeling about this…
But Seiji-kun.
He’s so sharp when it comes to others, but so dense when it comes to himself, can’t something be done about that…
Yosh! I’ve decided!
If it comes to this, I’ll push and push and push, and even if I have to push him down, I’ll definitely win Seiji-kun over!
I’m definitely going to become Seiji-kun’s bride!
