Chapter 39: I Remember Everything, About you
ā€œFufu, how nice for us to go out together after school.ā€
ā€œI agree. As for me, I don’t really mind if everyone’s there.ā€
ā€œI guess so, but, I’m the only one with you right now, so I want you to look only at me.ā€
I know.
I was walking down the street holding hands with Aina.
We are having an after-school date, and without a doubt, it sure feels nice to walk outside like this with the person you love.
Arisa went home first, saying she would give it up for Aina today. Sakuna-san also said she’ll be home early today, so they will probably be spending time together.
ā€œWanna go karaoke? I’m in the mood to sing as much as I can.ā€
ā€œOkay.ā€
Thinking about it, this is the first time I’m going to a karaoke with Aina.
She took me by the hand as we headed to the karaoke bar, and we both ended up in a small box room.
ā€œThis narrow space… is kind of making me excited.ā€
Aina said so, well not like I’m not.
She made a cute and provocative smile, but since she came here only to sing, she just picked up her denmoku (touch panel) and chose a song for now.
ā€œDo you know this song, Hayato-kun?ā€
ā€œIt’s a duo, right? I’ve heard of them.ā€
ā€œShall we do a duet then? Okay?ā€
ā€œI have no knowledge about that, but… okay, let’s do it!ā€
It’s not the first time I’ve been to a karaoke, so I’m not that nervous. But when I have a girlfriend by my side, I want to sing in a cool voice. So I’m worried that I might mess it up since she’s so excited about it…
Still, Aina seemed to be enjoying herself from start to finish, so I was able to sing along, feeling that it didn’t matter if I was tone deaf or not.
ā€œAina sings anime songs too?ā€
ā€œUn. I’ve sure heard some songs. But I often don’t know the anime itself though.ā€
ā€œThat’s a common one. Okay, I’ll sing more too!ā€
ā€œUn, un! Let’s have fun!ā€
Being the end of the school day, I couldn’t take that much time. So Aina and I were only able to sing for an hour.
Aina is a really good singer and it was very pleasant to listen to her.
ā€œMy sister is… I don’t want to say this, but she’s a terrible singer.ā€
ā€œReally?ā€
ā€œYeah. Surprisingly, It’s true. That’s why my sister doesn’t come to karaokes.ā€
ā€œHehe.ā€
I didn’t think Arisa had any flaws, but I guess she’s not a very good singer. If that’s the case, I doubt she’ll ever perform in front of me, but if there’s an opportunity someday, no offense, but I’d love to hear her sing.
After leaving the karaoke bar, we just went home, and decided to buy ice cream at a stall to relax a little more.
ā€œItadakimasu.ā€
ā€œItadakimasuā™Ŗā€
I bought chocolate and Aina bought vanilla.
We were sitting next to each other on the bench eating, and I noticed Aina staring at my chocolate ice cream.
ā€œWanna bite?ā€
ā€œYou sure?ā€
ā€œSure.ā€
It’s totally fine, I thought so and turned to Aina and she then said,
ā€œI would like a mouth-to-mouth?ā€
ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€
What should I do…
I think it’s kind of like kissing, which is fine for me but since it’s outside, it makes me think twice about it.
I looked around to make sure there weren’t too many eyes on us, and took a bite of ice cream in my mouth.
ā€œHehe, thanksā™Ŗā€
She thanked me for giving her the ice cream, as well as for responding to her request.
ā€œUnn… *lick… tasty.ā€
I’m pretty much the only one around here who thinks this tickle is addictive.
Aina then took her face off of mine with a satisfied smile and said it was delicious, she then asked me if I’d like a taste of the vanilla one, but I refrained from the offer. Because we’re being watched so much.
ā€œI bet they’re jealous of you being such a cool boyfriendā€¦ā€
ā€œThat’s probably not it. They are jealous because I have a beautiful girlfriend such as you.ā€
Regardless of me, Aina is good-looking, so I’m sure she attracted a lot of attention.
Feeling the eyes on me, I put my arm around Aina’s shoulder and hugged her close.
ā€œā€¦ Ehehe, why am I so happy about all of this?ā€
ā€œI don’t know. But… I’m really happy with all this too.
Most likely… Aina is very cute when she hugs me like this. But without a doubt, when she was moving her mouth earlier, her facial expressions and gestures were all sensational. A miraculous aggregate of beauty, loveliness, and eroticism melted down to the utmost limit and coexisted in good balance… is this the same for Arisa and Sakuna-san?
ā€œAll right, then. Let’s go home.ā€
ā€œYeah. If I don’t go home soon, those two will get jealous.ā€
But when we got up and walked a little.
ā€œUmm! Excuse me!ā€
I heard a pretty girl’s voice behind me.
ā€œHuh? Me?ā€
ā€œYes! It’s you!ā€
She’s… I didn’t take off my mask at that time, and we talked only for a bit and then I instantly left, but perhaps she figured out that it was me? Sure, I’m wearing the same uniform, but that’s all… Wait, is it just my imagination or am I having a dĆ©jĆ  vu?
ā€œDo you know each other?ā€
I shook my head as Aina rolled her eyes.
There’s still a possibility that it was just a coincidence or I’ve been mistaken for someone else.
ā€œErm… what can I do for you?ā€
ā€œYes! Thank you for what you did. Because of you I was able to go home safely that nightā€¦ā€
… Yes, apparently she’s totally aware.
I told Aina, who still hadn’t quite grasped the situation, that I had saved this girl while I was wearing that mask. Then she laughed at me and said, ā€œThat’s so like you, Hayato-kun,ā€ but I wondered what she meant.
ā€œThis girl… just like me.ā€
ā€œHuh?ā€
What does she mean byĀ like her…?
They don’t look alike at all, but surely one part of them could be similar in a way. I shook my head thinking it was wrong and spoke again.
ā€œBut how could you tell? I was wearing a mask and didn’t say much.ā€
The girl looked up when I said that.
Then she continued speaking, her excitement still somewhat unquenchable.
ā€œI have been waiting to meet you ever since then. Maybe we can meet, thinking that, I’ve been looking around here all these days for you.ā€
ā€œā€¦ I see.ā€
W-Why though? I’m a little scared.
ā€œI recognized you immediately because I remembered your eyes that I saw through your mask, your back from behind, the width of your shoulders, the way you breathed, the way you talked, the quality of your voice, everything.ā€(E/N:Yabaiii!)
ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€
Such bright eyes, but does this girl understand what she’s saying?
The girl looked at me and murmured as she put her hand on her large, fruitful bosom.
ā€œā€¦ Ahh, my heart is beating so fast. It’s so good to see you again.ā€
She looked at me with flushed cheeks and slightly moist eyes.
The girl next to me, Aina, gazed happily at her and then made a suggestion,.
ā€œLet’s go over there and talk. How about it?ā€
The girl nodded at the suggestion, and I nodded in resignation, as if I had a choice.
