After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
It was lunchtime on a weekday.
Haga and I were enjoying our lunch in the classroom as usual, talking about trivial things.
“Haga, do you have anything that a woman would like to receive?”
“Yuuma, what did you just say?”
“Like I said, what do you think women would like to receive?”
“…………”
Haga’s movement stopped for a moment, then he grinned wryly.
‘I knew you’d found someone you liked～!”
Haga grinned and poked me with his elbow.
“It’s not like that. You must’ve misunderstood something.”
This is likely to cause a lot of trouble, so I’ll make an excuse.
“What do you mean if it’s not like that? You sly～! Tell me~! Who’s the girl~! I’ll keep it a secret~!”
Haga, sniffing out a potential romantic story, was getting excited and getting involved.
I thought it would be a good idea to talk to him about it since he has a girlfriend, but I was a fool for consulting with him.
“I told you it’s not like that…….”
“You’re lying ! It’s not like you say something like that all of a sudden.”
Well, it might be strange for me to say something like that, since I’ve never even had a girl in my life.
But since Kirigiri has taken care of me, I want to give something back in return, and if I’m going to give a gift, I want the recipient to be happy with it.
But I’ve never even had a girlfriend, so I have no idea what kind of gift a woman would like.
“Well, more importantly, what would you give to Chinatsu?”
“Ah, you dodged the question.”
“Just answer me……”
If I get any more involved with Haga’s involvement with pointless conversation, the discussion won’t progress.
“Well, basically it’s something that Chinatsu would like. For her birthday, maybe flowers or a watch? But actually, what does the person you’re giving a gift to like? Shouldn’t you think about that?”
“Eh, ah……un~n.”
I thought about it, but the reality was that I couldn’t think of anything that Kirigiri would be happy to receive. So now I’m asking for advice from someone I don’t even want to ask.
“What the heck. You don’t understand the other person at all.”
“Shut up. It doesn’t matter.”
“Ah, what are you two talking about～?”
As we were having a light exchange, Chinatsu came into the classroom. She must have come to see Haga.
“Chinatsu, it’s good that you came just in time ! It seems that Yuuma has actually found someone he likes.”
“Eh !? For real !? Who !? Is it from the same class !?”
“I told you it’s not like that.”
It was going to be a pain, but it was good that Chinatsu had come. I appreciate a woman’s opinion.
“Hey, Chinatsu, what do you think women would like to receive?”
“What’s up with you all of a sudden?”
“Yuuma wants to give a gift to a girl.”
“I see !”
Chinatsu places her index finger on her chin, frowns, and begins to think.
“I don’t know what kind of girl she is, but many women are prone to dry skin, so hand cream would be a safe bet. And maybe lip balm too !”
“I see……”
“But gifts depend on the relationship level with the person giving them, so I don’t think there’s a single answer. What’s the relationship between you and the person you wanna give the gift to, Yu kun?”
“Hmmm…….”
My relationship with Kirigiri may be a little strange. She comes over to my house to teach me how to cook, and we sometimes play fighting games together. From the outside, it wouldn’t be strange to think we were dating, but I’m sure Kirigiri doesn’t think that way.
“Well, I think we’re friends…….”
“Don’t just think. You’re so vague.”
“There’s no way around it. It’s complicated.”
If we apply what Chinatsu said about relationships, then Kirigiri is a friend. In that case, it would be best to avoid expensive or self-indulgent gifts.
“How about it? Do you think you can find a gift?”
“Oh, thanks, that was helpful.”
At that moment, Haga came up with a great idea.
“If you wanna date that person, flowers would be a good idea ! A passionate confession with red roses ! What do you think !”
“As expected of Ren chan ! You know how women think～♪”
The two of them are as compatible as ever.
“If you’re gonna confess, go for it ! It’ll definitely be a success !”
“I told you earlier, I’m just giving her a gift.”
It would be a complete catastrophe for me to confess my feelings to Kirigiri.
Our relationship is only meant to last two months.
“It’ll be fine ! If you fail, we’ll comfort you !”
“Me too ! I don’t know who the girl is, but good luck !”
“You’re jumping to conclusions. Look, class is about to start.”
Saying this, the two mumbled and returned to their seats with dissatisfied faces.
They were rude to someone who was seriously struggling with a problem.
However, I had overlooked the fact that gifts change depending on the relationship. It would certainly be awkward to receive a red rose from a stranger.
I decided to think once again about what Kirigiri would be happy to receive.
