The S**ttiest Gyaru in the Class Confessed to Me
The teacher ended up being hospitalized.
As for the supplementary lessons, it seems that another teacher will be coming next week.
Maybe it will be Shingawa sensei.
Will I lose my homeroom teacher too?
I hope he doesn’t quit.
His health seems to be gradually improving, so I’ll go visit him sometime soon.
Well, tomorrow is Saturday.
I should think of a date plan.
I’ve been so busy lately that I don’t think we’ve had a proper date.
I want to get along well with Ichika.
We’re dating, so going on a date is normal, but I still get nervous before we meet.
Where should we go on a date?
By the way, asking Ichika for her preferences is out of the question. After all, she only mentions love hotels and pig cafes.
Lately, she’s been less likely to refuse when I invite her out, saying things like she doesn’t want to get sunburned. So, surprisingly, there are many options.
Maybe the mountains?
Hmm. But would Ichika go mountain climbing?
Pffft.
That’s way too out of character for her.
Or maybe an amusement park?
Kissing on the Ferris wheel at sunset.
Maybe she’ll finally say she likes me soon.
Hmm.
Just imagining it makes me so excited.
Well, maybe a movie theater?
It feels a bit too ordinary, though.
Besides, I don’t even know what kind of movies Ichika likes.
Then Ichika called me.
I looked at my watch.
It was already 9:00 p.m.
“Hey.”
Ichika sounded cheerful.
“Hey. How was work today?”
“How, you said? We worked together until after noon.”
Oh, that’s right.
“So, Ichika. If we were going on a date, is there anywhere you wouldn’t want to go?”
I decided to ask her by process of elimination.
I would eliminate the places Ikka didn’t want to go.
“Hm. I’d enjoy anywhere with Sou kun, but if I had to choose, I’d say mountains and amusement parks.”
Typical Ichika. She’s modest, but she’s still assertive.
That left us with only one option: the movie theater.
“So, how about going to the movie theater tomorrow?”
Then, Ichika’s voice tone rose.
“Let’s ! ! I’m super excited about the movie theater ! !”
I didn’t expect her to be so happy.
But movie theaters are a standard date spot, and I thought Ichika had been there many times before.
“I’m glad you’re so happy. Maybe you haven’t been to the movie theater much before?”
“No, not really. But I’ve never been able to concentrate on the movie, and I want to watch it properly. I’ve always wanted to talk about our impressions after the movie.”
Huh?
What do you mean?
Isn’t the only thing you can do at the movie theater concentrate on the movie? Besides, after the movie, you naturally talk about your impressions on the way home, right?
“Is that so? But isn’t there nothing else to do at the movie theater besides concentrate?”
“No, people tease me. I really hate it. After it ends…ho…te…ah, ah. I’m sorry…”
Ichika’s voice lost its energy.
It seems she’s genuinely upset.
I want to ask her more about it, but she told me not to ask too many questions. I’ll have to hold back.
Let’s change the subject.
Then, Ichika brought up the topic.
“I’m sorry. Um, Sou kun, if you wanna touch my boobs…it’s fine. Should I wear a skirt?”
This person. She’s revealing what she did to herself… Wait, what does “boobs” mean !?
It’s frustrating.
So, I won’t do the same thing.
I’m a small-minded person.
“No, I want to focus on the movie. It’s a rare chance to watch it with Ichika.”
“…I see. That makes me feel better. Sou kun is so nice.”
Huh?
For some reason, my favorability rating seems to have gone up.
“So, what genre?”
“Hmm. I’m not good at action or fantasy. And I might fall asleep during suspense or romance.”
That’s almost every genre.
You…you don’t really like movie theaters, do you? Besides, the only other genres I can think of are anime and horror.
“Then, how about horror?”
When I said that, Ichika made a spoiled voice.
“Horror? I haven’t seen many, but OK♡ I wonder if it’s sad. I wonder if it’s exciting. I’m looking forward to it !”
So, the date ended up being a horror movie at the movie theater. As for the details of the horror movie, I’ll let you experience it for yourself.
Ah…
I’m sure Ichika will feel guilty about her slip of the tongue after hanging up the phone.
I don’t want that. I want to reassure her.
I’ve been hesitant to say it since I found out about Ikka’s trauma.
“Ichika, I really like you. Well, good night.”
I hung up the phone.
The next day, when I went to the meeting place, Ichika had dyed her hair flaxen blonde. She was wearing a checkered dress that came to just above her knees. There was a ribbon on the back, making her look like a maid.
I noticed that her wheat-colored skin was gradually becoming whiter. Was she trying to match my preferences?
“How does it look?”
Ichika said nervously.
“Hmm. To put it mildly, you’re the best in the world.”
“Haha. ‘The best in the world’ isn’t exactly modest.”
Ichik laughed with her mouth wide open.
“Haha. Even if I’m modest, I’m still the best in the world.”
Probably.
I’m laughing the same way right now.
Come to think of it, when she first confessed her feelings to me, I accepted her because I thought, “I don’t expect much from her personality, but she’s cute.”
It was only a short time ago, but it feels nostalgic.
Now, I’ve found many things I like about Ichika. So, the main reason I like her isn’t because she’s cute.
But still, it makes me happy that she’s cute for my sake.
I held Ichika’s hand.
Of course, it was a lover’s knot.
Then, Ichika stopped.
Huh?
When I turned around, she had a serious expression.
What’s wrong?
“You know, I’m sorry about yesterday. I’m so thoughtless. But, but. Thank you for always loving me, even though I’m like this.”
“Me too. Every time we meet, my feelings for you overflow, and it’s harder to stop loving you.”
“Yeah.”
Ichika closed her eyes and pressed her fist against her chest.
“You know, I realized something. When you first confessed your feelings to me, I didn’t know anything about you, but in the end, I’ve loved you since that moment.”
…This is what they call love at first sight.
“Me too. Yesterday, while we were talking, I realized that when Aoi-kun tells me he likes me, it makes me feel safe. Actually, before I met Sou kun, I was scared of boys telling me they liked me.”
“I want to feel safe too.”
The truth slipped out before I could stop it.
Ichika clenched her fist against her chest.
“You know, I’m happy that Sou kun’s feelings haven’t changed. So…I like you.”
“Eh?”
“I really like Sou kun.”
Ichika smiled.
Eh?
Did I hear that wrong?
This timing…
This is amazing, I’m so happy.
All kinds of memories are flooding back, and I feel like crying.
“How much?”
When I asked that, Ichika answered.
“Even if I’m being modest, this ‘like’ is the strongest in the world.”
