High School Life (Marriage Hunting) in a World Where the Male-female Ratio is 1:15 and Chastity is Reversed
Maybe everything she sees is new to her. She never lets go of my hands and looks around here and there. Is she on a field trip? There’s a sense of danger that she might get lost if left her alone, but that’s also cute.
I wonder what it is about Ryuguji san that makes me imagine her as a lost child.
I wonder where she usually shops. Is it a specialty store? Or maybe she’s like a wandering dog…?
I had intended to go to a bookstore, but if it looks like fun, I don’t need to go there. I could borrow a book from the school library and read it, or I could go out with Saya on a holiday and read it then.
Oh, I suddenly feel a stronger pull on my hand ! Is it true that you can tell if someone is thinking about another woman on a date?
As if being pulled by the hand, the store we arrived at was a lingerie store.
Um? It’s awkward indeed, isn’t it?
“Honey, this place is a bit…?”
“I’d like to know what my darling likes first.”
The reflexes to calling “darling” are incredible. So you’re more of a genius than gifted? I thought the same thing when she introduced herself.
Ryuguji san bent down a little and looked up as she pleaded with me as I was about to let it slide.
“It’s only been two days since we met, you know. I think it’s okay to take things a little slower and get to know each other better.”
“?? —Time has nothing to do with affection.”
She looked puzzled while still looking up. Cute.
“I’m a guy, you see, and I’m not sure I should go in there…..right?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be there too.”
She smiled gently at me. No, she’s a pushover ! ! !
The fact that a man and a woman are staying and talking in a lingerie store makes it a bit conspicuous. If this continues, I might look suspicious. I should be prepared for that. I’d like to see it.
“Then that’s a relief ! Let’s go ! !”
“Yessir ! !”
The inside of the store, which I had come to with a high level of inner tension, had a generally warm atmosphere with white walls and light bulbs. I felt uncomfortable, though, as a man, because I could see underwear everywhere I turned to the right and to the left.
There is a part in the back that is lit up in dark pink. From a distance, you can see some very aggressive lingerie on display. I like it.
Ryuguji san, who must have been following my gaze, caught my eye and asked
“Do you like this one? Or this one?”
Ryuguji san deftly selected a few items and placed them on her body one at a time, probing my reactions and narrowing down the candidates.
It must have taken about 10 minutes. I was standing in front of the storefront next.
And there we were, Ryuguji san with a beaming face, holding a chocolate-colored paper bag with the store’s logo on it, and me with a stunned look on my face, not understanding what had happened.
“Hey, are you finished?”
“I’m done. I found out the trend too !”
I wonder what she’s going to report when she happily said that.
After that, I looked around everywhere I went and finally arrived at my original destination, a bookstore.
“What kind of books do you like, Ryuguji san? Or any genre for that matter.”
“Darling?”
I asked, wondering what kind of books Ryuguji san reads and if they looked good to me, I might buy one.
Don’t look as if you’re wondering. I get it, I get it.
“What kind of books do you read, Honey?”
“I read books that are basically useful. These are the kind of books I like to read as a hobby…”
She hid the front of her face with the book she had taken and looked at me with her eyes only. She looks so cute.
I see. It’s a romance. You don’t have to be shy about it.
“I sometimes read them too. You don’t have to be shy. Do you have any recommendations? I’d like to read it.”
“Yes, of course.”
She handed me the book in her hand. Oh, so this was it.
And so, it was about time for dinner. It was about time to go home. Ryuguji san also called for someone to come and pick her up.
Don’t you need a ride home? I told her that I would be fine because I would be picked up.
“Today was so much fun. Let’s come again.”
“I had fun too. I want to go on another date with you.”
“Yeah. Let’s think together about where to go next time. Take care and see you later.”
I waved back at her from the car as she held my stuffed bear hand and waved back at me.
When we parted, I gave her a small stuffed bear to commemorate our date, and she seemed to like it. She seemed to like it.
I quickly bought one for myself so we could match, which will be a good memory. It was a quick first date. I got to see a lot of different faces and it was fun !
