The Most Beautiful Girl is Approaching Aggressively
The next day, after receiving advice from Hiiragi-san at my part-time job. I was so nervous I couldnāt press the doorbell at Saitoās house at all.
(Calm down. Just act like usualā¦)
I told myself in my mind and took a deep breath and repeated.
I realized that I was starting to like her, but it was somewhat awkward and I didnāt know how to face her.
I rang the doorbell hesitantly, aware that the sound of my heart thumping isnāt calming down at all.
[Yes]
The door opened and revealed her from the inside. Saito looked as usual, with her tied back in a single knot, wearing a loose hoodie and denim shorts.
In the past, the only objective impression I had would have been she was good looking and amazing.
However, maybe it was because I was aware of my own feelings for her that she seemed irresistibly cute. She was still a beautiful girl with a simple and expressionless face, and she had a certain charm that attracted me.
When I became aware of her as a love interest, I realized once again how attractive she is.
She has beautiful eyes and ripe fruit-like lips. And to top it off, she has beautiful black hair that shimmers with a lustrous shine.
I almost fell in love with it, and my heart pounded like crazy.
[Is something wrong?]
[N-no, itās nothing]
Iāve been looking at her for too long, and she tilted her head and stared at me curiously. Sheās still as blunt as ever, but I was a little happier that the thorniness was gone slowly and softer than before.
There was no way I could say I was admiring her, so I faked composure, and she let me inside.
[Please, come in]
[A-ah, yes]
Somewhat nervous, I raised my voice and went inside.
I went straight into the room and sat down at my usual seat. As I was going through my backpack to get my books, I heard a stomp and the sound of someone sitting next to me.
When I turned to look, I saw her sitting in her seat with a hint of red in her cheeks.
[ā¦Eh?]
[What is it?]
When I looked at her in surprise, she glared at me with a squint and a slight Tsun tone in her voice.
[N-no, but sitting next to meā¦]
[Am I not allowed to sit next to you?]
[I donāt mindā¦]
[Then, itās fine]
When she said so in a strong tone, I had no reason to refuse, so I nodded my head. When she heard my approval, she turned away from me in a good mood, opened her book, and started reading.
I couldnāt help but be confused by her sudden behavior. I looked at her again, wondering what was going on, but there was nothing unusual about her. Her expression relaxed a little as usual, and she was happily reading a book.
I donāt know what her intention was, but I didnāt want her to approach me at this time. While Iām trying to be as usual, when I get close to her, I begin to worry about various things.
I could smell her sweet floral scent that I didnāt get when we were face to face, it was really bad for my heart to have her somewhere in my reach.
In addition, I didnāt care too much before, but now that I was aware of her as the opposite gender, I couldnāt help but be cautious of the distance between us.
I was curious, I wanted to see how she was doing, so I glanced at her. When I did, I saw she was also looking at me, and our eyes met.
[Whatās wrong?]
[N-No, itās justā¦]
I hurriedly looked away, but I was surprised to be seen glancing at her. I didnāt know what I was doing, but I was really embarrassed to be caught. My cheeks began to heat up and I felt my face burning.
[ā¦Is that so]
She rolled her eyes in slight surprise, then softened her expression and smiled with a chuckle.
I think it was because of my sudden panic that she thought it was amusing. She looked at me with a grin and a happy smirk on her face.
[What are you laughing at?]
[Hm? Itās nothing though?]
I was kind of embarrassed that she laughed at me, so I said it more forcefully, but she didnāt stop and laughed with a devilish smile, like she was teasing me.
I was a little frustrated by that, but I couldnāt help but pay back her soft smile.(?)
[Ah, thatās right. Tanaka-kun]
[ā¦What is it]
The frustration of her teasing smile when our eyes met still lingered, and I couldnāt help but blurt it out.
[Ummā¦]
[Hm?]
[Do you have any books that you recommend, Tanaka-kun? Iād like to borrow it if possible]
[Ah, there is. Okay then, Iāll bring it tomorrow]
[Thank you]
Iāve been lent so many books, so itās not a big deal if I lend a book or two myself.
I nodded my head in approval and she bowed down as thanks.
[Iām looking forward to tomorrow. Iām curious to know what kind of things Tanaka-kun likesā¦]
[Y-Yeah]
She sounded a little uptight because of her nervousness. With her cheeks slightly dyed in vermillion, she had an embarrassed and shy expression that made my heart pound.
I could be wrong, but that look on her face makes me wonder if she sees me as someone of the opposite gender. Such a thought came to my mind, and my face became hot again. (TN: Wow, maybe our boy isnāt as dense as we thought?) (EDN: Bet in the next chapter heāll prove you wrong)
