Chapter 19 - The Modest Girl is Repenting

Being enveloped with a pleasant atmosphere, this city where I live is bustling with people for the coming of spring.

And yet, my mood has been getting worse since February.

“The movie, was it not fun, Yuuno?”

Ichika-chan stuck her head out in front of me.

“Eh? No? It was fun!”

That’s the truth. It’s been a year since it’s been announced, a Hollywood movie that I’ve been looking forward to.

It was a big production fantasy movie with action and romance.

The special effects were as expected of Hollywood, and the 4D experience was also satisfactory.

As expected,『That』world is brimming with incredible things.

Usually, while returning, I would buy a pamphlet, and go with Ichika-chan to some store, get excited like proper movie fans and talk about which parts were amazing and which parts were moving, but…

I can’t in any way get excited.

I remember properly watching the movie, since I have a good memory. I mean, that’s my only redeeming feature.

I’m a typical humanity type and weak with numbers.

Only my Japanese, English and social study grades are outstanding, and I’m weak at every other subject.

Mathematics especially is a struggle every time, my head spins when I hear about equations or solving for an unknown.

I’m not good with exercise, I also don’t have any stamina.

Because I’m shy and anxious of strangers, I also don’t have many friends.

“Have you not recovered yet? You really have a one track mind, huh.”

Ichika-chan, from the short hair calico cat tribe, grinned, and shook her ears.

Ears of the cat tribe people are attached at the same place as human ears.

Because it shakes with a very charming gesture, sometimes you unconsciously stroke them, there are times when she gets angry.

A short-cut really suits her, lively and bright, my close friend.

“The new school term has already begun, we’re second years now, you know? We have kouhai’s and Yuuno somehow will be popular, so forget about that hooligan. Be fashionable and become cute!”

I felt a bit angry.

“K-Kazamachi-kun is not a hooligan.”

I don’t like people bad mouthing people I like.

“He’s just someone that has a strong sense of justice and doesn’t talk much. Since middle school, Kazamachi-kun has never voluntarily picked a fight with anyone.”

“The problem is the countless number of times he’s exerted his sense of justice…”

With a defeated face, Ichika-chan sighed.

“And so, even though you’ve liked him since the first year of middle school, not even mentioning a confession, you can’t even have a conversation with him. Moreover, he suddenly moved to the neighboring prefecture. Yep. That guy has problems with his judgment, but Yuuno also has no courage.”

Uu, she struck the bull’s eye.

After all, Kazamachi-kun, slept most of the time except during class, we’ve never been in the same class, his home was in the other direction of mine, and since his younger brother, Shouhei-kun was waiting so he always went back home immediately…

I had many excuses for my nonexistent courage.

But they were all problems on my part.

“When you got into the same school, you were unusually jumping with joy, even though you haven’t even talked to him three times, but you know of his family structure and lifestyle like a stalker. When you heard about him transferring, you were absent from school crying for three days, what a strange place to hesitate…”

Truly a long friendship, we’ve been together since elementary school.

I don’t hesitate to follow my heart.

“T-that’s…”

It is a part of myself that I hate, I wanted to do something.

But, everything was too late.

“I-I’m reflecting…”

From the bottom of my heart.

“Well Yuuno, if you remove those bulky glasses, and untie that old-fashioned braid, you’ll be extremely cute and catch an Ikemen! Then you can introduce some Ikemen to me!

“It’s e-embarrassing and I’m not cute, so…”

Even though Ichika-chan is cute, she doesn’t have a boyfriend.

But, unlike me, she has many female and male friends.

Since we hang out with just the two of us on days off, I kind of feel like I’m monopolizing Ichika-chan, I’m a bit happy.

“Oh no! It’s useless! Today listen to what I say, be cute enough for yourself!”

“Eh! You said we were going to a shopping mall…”

“That’s right, for the sake of remodeling Yuuno plan!”

I have not heard about it!

When Ichika-chan behaves recklessly, I’m usually the one that suffers.

Even when I was invited to the pool last summer, she hid my swimsuit and switched it with a bikini and forcibly dragged me to the poolside.

It’s dangerous. If this devilish cat with a reputation of being pushy got serious, I can’t stop her.

“I-Ichika-chan! Aren’t you thirsty! I’ll treat you!”

“This water bottle is enough! C’mon, the bus came!”

She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the bus stop.

“You’ll become cute, then around the time when Kazamachi-kun becomes trivial, you’ll be able to catch a good man! Then you can introduce some Ikemen to me!”

“N-no! Ichika-chan stop! Calm down!”
