I Want To Make The School's "Silent Princess" Talk, So I Invited Her (Who's Super Cute) Out On A Date Today. ~Anyways, She's So Very Intense When It Comes To Skinship, That It's Going To Take My Reason Away~ - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Just a little bit of ulterior motive

 

TLN: Good news everyone! A kind reader provided me some backup for the raws, so I’ll be able to translate this novel again up to chapter 67(which was the last chapter before it got thrown to the void.)

 

Anyways, Enjoy the chapter~

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“You’re not good at math, huh?”

“Mhn.”

 

Two hours have passed since the study session started.

 

I took a look at the math problems that Aikawa-san had solved, but most of them were solved with red pens, and large crosses were stamped all over them.

 

“We can’t make it today… so what should we do?”

“This restaurant is closed tomorrow. Why don’t you go somewhere and give Aikawa-san some tutoring?”

“You don’t say, also you’re on the side of being taught by Moezono-san, you know?”

“*Guho*”

 

Yusuke was fatally lacking in kanji, so I wanted him to work hard on that.

 

If it’s just memorization like kanji, Aikawa-san could handle it, but if it’s something like math, where she needs to understand the logic to understand it, it would take him a long time.

 

“Yusuke-kun, you have to stop firmly here.”

“Oh, I understand.”

 

Yusuke was carefully taught some kanji and accompanied by Moezono-san.

 

Then Perhaps sensing Yusuke’s lack of concentration, Moezono-san made a little gesture of consideration.

 

“Well, if Yusuke-kun passed the exam… l-let’s go out and have fun somewhere, okay?”

 

Moezono-san’s face lit up with inspiration as she clapped her hands.

 

Then Yusuke’s face suddenly turned serious at the sudden invitation for a date, and pulled out a mechanical pencil from his pencil case with incredible speed.

 

“All right let’s do this!”

“Just where’d you suddenly get that motivation…?”

 

Just as I was making my point, my phone rang. There are only a few people who have my contact information, so unless there’s a big problem, I’m sure it’s from Aikawa-san.

 

『You can come to my house tomorrow if you want to?』

 

She said so, perhaps she was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

 

I thought about using the library I always use, but if Aikawa-san says so… I guess I’ll just have to pay her house a visit.

 

The third grade test wasn’t over yet, so we were able to go home early tomorrow.

 

I dropped Aikawa-san at her house on our way back from the amusement park, so I wouldn’t get lost unless I wanted to.

 

“All right…”

 

When I replied, Aikawa-san nodded her head and sipped on her juice.

 

“Oh? What’s with the blushing face~!? Is it a secret night meeting?”

 

Yusuke pointed the tip of his french fries at us, as if to tease us.

 

“M-Mio-chan is…?”

 

Moezono-san’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

 

I don’t want to be left in the dark, so I decided to return the favor a little bit.

 

“If you don’t concentrate on your study, you’ll lose your date with Moezono-san, you know?”

“Ugh! It’s not like that!”

 

Moezono-san showed her matured side and denied it softly but Yusuke placed his hand on his forehead and said so in an exaggerated voice.

 

Then the fun atmosphere drifted away, and a serious atmosphere began to drift in again.

 

“All right, let’s work a little harder!”

 

Yusuke then wrapped a white hachimaki around his head, while I wondered where he had gotten it from. Perhaps interested in it, Aikawa-san struggled to make a hachimaki with a hand towel that was left behind.

 

“…Nuu.”

 

At the sound of her voice, I turned to look, but sure enough, there was only a wrinkled, wrung-out hand towel.

 

She looked at it and cast her eyes down in disappointment.

 

“H-Hey… Aikawa-san?”

 

Aikawa-san also seemed to lose her concentration a little, making origami out of paper that was nearby and looking away more often than not.

 

Well, two hours of study was a good effort, but I’d like her to do a little better.

 

(Okay…)

 

I’m going to use Moezono-san’s method as a reference here.

 

If I could prepare a reward that would make Aikawa-san happy, she should be able to regain her lost concentration.

 

“Umm… Aikawa-san?”

“?”

 

Aikawa-san stopped her hand just before the origami vine was completed, and she stared at me with a steady blank expression, as if waiting for me to say something.

 

“Well… if Aikawa-san can pass the retest at this rate…”

 

If I say this, then I’m practically admitting it. But what I’m most afraid of was that Aikawa-san wouldn’t end up staying in school.

 

This time, it was not a test that would affect her chances of staying in school, but if she continued to drop at this rate, she would be in a situation where she would not be able to recover before the end of the school year when her moving up would be decided.

 

My daily life without Aikawa-san… would be lonely for sure.

 

I don’t really want us to part ways after we’ve become friends.

 

“Umm… would you like to, you know, with me?”

 

When I said that, Aikawa-san raised her eyebrows as if it piqued her interest.

 

“I mean, do you want the two of us to go to the nearest aquarium?”

“….”

“Then, I’ll hold your hand, and pat you on the head as much as you like. How about that?”

“…!”

 

Perhaps this was the deciding factor, but Aikawa-san gave me a small nod with a slight blush on her face.

 

I was quite nervous about this because this was my first time asking someone out on a so-called date.

 

By saying that I was going to the aquarium with her as a reward, I was admitting in words that Aikawa-san liked me.

 

Aikawa-san probably got the message at this very moment.

 

She doesn’t even try to hide her face, and continues to expose her red face with steam rising above her head.

 

“Then, let’s try a little harder, okay?”

“Nuu!”

 

She replied cheerfully as I tapped her on her shoulders.

 

Once again, I realize that she’s really looking forward to going out with me.

 

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when I saw her carefree smile.

 

(I wonder what she really liked about me…) 

 

Why did a super beautiful girl, who was worshipped as a princess in the school, like a plain and introverted guy… that was what I’ve been thinking yesterday.

 

(Haaa~ this is so embarrassing…)

 

When I finished speaking, she gladly smiled and poked me lightly on the shoulder with her head.

 

The breeze that was carrying the sweet smell tickled my nostrils and my heart started to beat again.

 

What I see in front of me are two soft-looking fruits and a milky white soft skin.

 

(No… I know that this is bad but… atleast just the head.)

 

With just a hint of ulterior motive, I reached out to touch her head.

 

“Umm, you two, aren’t you guys completely on your own worlds, huh?”

“M-Mio-chan and Kurose-kun… please be a little more careful about what people around you think, okay?”

 

When I suddenly heard a voice I immediately turned to the front… There was Yusuke, who let out a sigh of exasperation, and Moezono-san, who covered her eyes with the palms of her hands while her cheeks turned bright red.

 

“No, It’s not what you guys think…!” “…!”

 

We were surprised at the same time that Aikawa-san didn’t even notice what was happening. Perhaps even more dismayed at the sight of us, Yusuke looked at us with a frown and said,

 

“How far have you guys gone? You guys are totally going out, right?”

“No, we’re not! I swear we’re not!”

“…Mhn.”

 

No… Well, it’s not that I don’t want to… go out with her.

 

But that comes from a man’s desire, and as for me, I’d like a little more time.

 

“Holding hands and a pat on the head, is it…? Both of you are really good friends, huh?”

 

At Moezono-san’s casual remark, I hid my face with my hand, hating myself for what I had done a few minutes ago.
