After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
“Damn it ! I lost again……give me a handicap.”
“What kind of handicap?”
“I’ll blindfold you.”
“Don’t be stupid.”
We ate the leftover stir-fry vegetables together, and were playing the game while having a stupid conversation.
“Haa～I’m tired of playing this game～”
Haga, who had raised his voice, lay down lazily on the spot.
“Listen…..you’re being too laid back just because you’re in someone else’s house.”
“It’s fine since you don’t even have anyone else to let into your house anyway～ I want you to be grateful that I came to visit.”
“Shut up.”
Haga said, looking tired.
I couldn’t tell him that the beautiful, cool girl from the school had been here just a moment ago. Well, I don’t think he would believe me if I did.
“By the way, what’s going on with Chinatsu?”
“Well, we’re still in love as usual.”
“Did she say anything about me?”
I decided to probe him.
I was curious if they were talking about me and Kirigiri’s relationship.
“Not really…ah, but now that I think about it, she was in a good mood because she said Yuu kun gonna buy her some crepes next time.”
“I see.”
Well, if Haga finds out about my relationship with Kirigiri, he’ll probably contact me right away.
I can imagine the reaction.
I felt relieved and drank the mugicha in my cup in one gulp to quench my thirst.
“Now that I think of it, aren’t you going on a date with Chinatsu? Even though it’s only on your rare days off.”
“She has a part-time job today.”
“Chinatsu has a part-time job?
That’s a first.
It’s true that Chinatsu is the type of woman who will try anything that catches her interest, so it’s not that unusual for her to be working a part-time job.
“What kind of part-time job?”
“She said it’s a secret. When I called her the other day, she said, [I’m doing it with a friend ! Ehehe] she seemed happy.”
Is this a part-time job that her boyfriend, Haga, didn’t know about…?
I was a little worried, but Chinatsu seemed to have a lot of friends, so she’d probably be with her classmates.
Incidentally, Haga also works part-time once a year at the post office sorting New Year’s cards. I remember he told me before that it is easier because he often sends New Year’s greetings on his smartphone these days, so the amount of sorting is smaller.
After that, we spent our time slacking off, playing on our phones when we got bored with gaming, picking up manga and magazines that caught our eyes, and then getting bored and zoning out.
“Hey, since you’re not busy at home, why don’t we go out somewhere?”
Haga suddenly suggested.
“Where to? Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“Nothing in particular, but. If we don’t do anything, we’ll spend the day doing nothing, right?”
“Isn’t that what holidays are for?”
When Haga and I play, it’s usually at my house for gaming.
I almost never play outside.
However, when it comes to Haga, since he has a girlfriend–Chinatsu–he spends most of his days off outside, which must be boring.
“How about we go to the area in front of the station for now? There’s an arcade there and there are probably some new stores nearby. We can go and check it out for my date with Chinatsu.”
“I don’t like the idea of you using me as a scout, but oh well. We can go until the evening.”
Although I had told Kirigiri that I had no need to go out, she said she would be back around evening, so it would be fine if I could get back by then.
“Eh, evening? I was gonna stay the night.”
“You’re too shameless.”
“I was joking.”
Good. If Haga had wanted to stay at my place, I would have done everything in my power to stop him.
After all, there are Kirigiri cosmetics in the bathroom.
“All right ! Then it’s decided !”
Haga got up and headed for the front door.
I put my wallet in my pocket and went outside.
“I mean, you don’t have a girlfriend, do you?”
Haga asked suddenly.
“I’ve never thought about it…….”
I would be lying if I said I didn’t want one.
I’m a guy and I want to date, play games and have fun with a cute girl, but I’m worried that if I got a girlfriend, I’d have to spend a lot of money on dates. Besides, I hate being fawned over by my mother.
“Is there a girl you’re close to or something?”
“I think……not.”
“Well, I’ve never seen you talking to any girls. Oh well ……”
The actual “good friends” are usually the ones who are the best at what they do.
When he said “a close friend,” I suddenly thought of Kirigiri.
I don’t think our relationship is bad. We’ve gotten better at communicating than we were at the beginning, and I think we’re friends.
But it’s still hard to say if I have any special feelings towards her.
Maybe it’s because I know her background, but I can’t leave her alone.
I can’t verbalize whether I like her or not, but I can imagine that if I were to confess my feelings to Kirikiri, she would say [I can’t] or [You’re weird] just like she did to the boys in my class.
“Girlfriend is nice I tell you ! I’m happy every day and I feel like I can do my best in everything when I think about her. And I feel like I’ve grown even more as a man.”
“You really think so?”
Would having a bright and cute girlfriend like Chinatsu by his side help him feel more confident?
Chinatsu is just as popular as Kirigiri, and I hear she’s even received confessions from boys outside of school.
“Well ! If you find someone you like, tell me as soon as possible ! I’ll support you !”
Haga patted me on the shoulder as hard as he could and said.
“If I were to tell you, a lot of trouble will happen, so no.”
“That’s terrible !”
