NOVEL WEB Chapter 24: The Beginning of a Surveillance Date
We went into the café and whilst taking our seats, we both ordered coffee and iced cocoa respectively.
When we got to our seats, maybe due to the fact that we’re in a restaurant, she took off her black blouse and showed off the sweater she was wearing.
It was a white long-sleeved sweater, but what I couldn’t help but notice was that the length was shortened enough so that her stomach was visible.
I didn’t expect Sei-chan to wear such an outfit today, so I felt like I was suddenly knocked out right before the date even began.
Sei-chan sits facing towards me… She’s already too cute to look at.
I cover my face with my hands and sigh.
“What’s the matter?”
“No, it’s just that Sei-chan is so cute that I can’t stop looking at her, so I’m trying to hide my gaze from a physical standpoint.”
“HAH…!?”
I couldn’t see Sei-chan’s face so I couldn’t really tell, but she seemed to be startled by my words.
“It’s a little dangerous for me… I didn’t expect Sei-chan to come in these type of clothes, so I was surprised when I saw you.”
“We-Well I don’t wear this often… Especially this sweater.”
Sei-chan was still not used to wearing it, so she took the hem of her sweater and pulled it down a little, trying to keep her stomach from showing as much as possible.
But by doing so, it emphasizes Sei-chan’s ample breasts even more…
“Oh, you’re peeking through the palm of your hand.”
“Ah…”
He said she was too cute to look at but he ended up peeking anyway.
No, but I don’t think this can be helped.
Because she’s too cute.
“Well, doesn’t this look bad on me?”
“No, it looks too good on you. It’s too cute. Just seeing you dressed like that makes me thank God that I was born.”
“Th-That’s an exaggeration…!”
Sei-chan looked embarrassed when she said that, but I would still say it without any exaggeration again.
Thank you… God, for bringing me to the world of “Ojojama”.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Hisamura in casual clothes. You know I think it’s… pretty cool.”
“Seriously? Thanks, I’m flattered.”
My outfit is a bit simpler than Sei-chan’s.
I wore black skinny pants, a white long-sleeved T-shirt, and a denim jacket over it.
My denim jacket is a little darker than Sei’s, though the colors of her pants and outerwear are reversed.
A black bag slung over her shoulder, with a small amount of belongings for ease of movement.
“It’s not flattery, I don’t flatter people after all.”
Sei-chan said this with a light smile.
“…O-Oh, yeah, thanks.”
Now it was my turn to be embarrassed by Sei-chan.
Kuu… Sei-chan is too cool and cunning like this.
Hah, I really like that part of her too.
“So, what time did Hisamura arrive?”
“Hmm? Uh… I got here just before Sei-chan arrived.”
“Really…?”
“Uuu… fine, I arrived at 9.30.”
“That’s an hour before the appointed time…”
Sei-chan stared at me with a gaze so I told her the truth.
But Sei-chan’s scowling was cute, so I’ll take it.
“You were already out of the house when you RINED that Tojoin’s car was parked in front of the house then.”
“Yes…”
“Haah… Why did you leave so early?”
“That’s because I didn’t want to make you wait.”
“I appreciate the sentiment, but there’s a limit to how early you can come.”
“Also, I was looking forward to my date with you a bit too much.”
“This is not a date. The purpose of this is to watch over Shigemoto and Fujise.”
“Of course it is.”
But Sei-chan didn’t think of this as a date huh… That’s a little disappointing.
“W-Well, I’ve never been on a date before, and it’s been a while since I’ve been to an amusement park, so I was looking forward to it.”
“……”
“Say something… I’m getting embarrassed”
“No, I’m just really happy that Sei-chan thinks of this as a date.”
“We-Well the purpose is a little different. But the general idea of this is that of a date.”
Moreover, just now, Sei-chan said that she had never been on a date before.
I never thought that I would be the one to get Sei-chan’s first date…!
“I’ll definitely entertain you on your first date, Sei-chan…!”
“Eh, ahh, yeah. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I know I said I’ll entertain you but this is my first date too. So please keep the hurdle a little low.”
When I said that while sitting and bowing, her face relaxed and her eyes softened.
“Fufu… Is that so? Well, let’s enjoy our first date together.”
“Hahaha, yeah.”
Then we both looked at each other and laughed.
I think this feeling is the most couple-like feeling we had so far.
After that, we had a quick chat and waited for Yuuichi and Fujise to meet up.
I came early to wait for Sei-chan alone, but she thought I might come early, so she came thirty minutes early.
Thanks to that, I was able to talk to Sei-chan happily for longer than I’d expected. It was a massive win to come out early.
It was about ten minutes before eleven o’clock, just before Yuichi and Fujise had promised to be there.
Sei-chan and I were waiting in the shadows near the place where they were going to meet.
Yuuichi was already standing alone at the meeting place.
“As expected of Shigemoto, he arrived with plenty of time to spare.”
“I made him do it. I told him not to make Fujise wait. I even showed him an example.”
“By example, you mean you arrived an hour ago? I don’t think that’s a very good example.”
“It’s a great example because if you arrive early and the person you’re waiting for arrives early, you’re in an amazing situation where you get to spend more time with the person you like.”
“A-Ah yeah…”
Apparently, Sei-chan was embarrassed by the words, “Spending more time with the person you like.”
She already knows how I feel because I’ve already confessed my feelings to her. But her embarrassed face looks so cute whenever I say such a thing again.
“Did you just laugh at me?”
“No, I didn’t. If I had to say, I just thought that it was cute.”
“Hmm… I feel like I’m being deceived but okay.”
While we were having this conversation, we looked at Yuuichi.
We were not only looking at Yuuichi but all around him as well.
Because there’s already a possibility that Tojoin-san will be interfering currently.
“What kind of car was it that was near Hisamura’s house?”
“From a distance, it was just an ordinary black car, but up close, it looked like a luxury car.”
“…Hmm, I saw the parking lot of the amusement park. It was full of black cars.”
“I guess so. Well, I can’t make a judgment there, so we’ll have to assume that she’s probably here.”
“Yeah.”
Well, it’s Tojoin-san, so I’m sure she’s here.
She came here in the original too after all.
But in the original story, she hadn’t come to interfere here just yet.
In the original story, she was probably still in the car?
From Tojoin’s point of view. Yuuichi is just coming to the amusement park with his friends.
That’s why she was waiting in the car, but when she saw Yuuichi meeting up with Fujise and seeing the two of them entering the amusement park alone, that’s when she decided to interrupt his date.
If things stay as they were in the original, she wouldn’t come to disturb us here just yet.
So I was a little careless, or maybe just not that enthusiastic about it, and looked around lazily.
“Hey, Hisamura. Are you watching the surroundings carefully?
“Hmm? Yeah, it’s fine. I’m watching it carefully.”
“If Tojoin suddenly interferes here, I’ll feel bad for Shiho. So I’ll definitely stop her before she does.”
“Yeah…”
As for me, I’m almost certain that she’ll not come here so early, so I’m not too enthusiastic about this.
But Sei-chan doesn’t know that, so she’s been seriously looking around since the meeting.
Since I can’t tell her that Tojoin-san won’t be here, I decided to keep an eye on the surroundings with Sei-chan.
However, the fact that she is so serious about doing this for her best friend Fujise, really shows how much she loves her friend.
As expected of Sei-chan, she’s amazing.
And as I said, Tojoin-san did not appear here at all, just like the original.
“Oh, Shiho’s here!”
“Really?”
Fujise had arrived about five minutes before the appointment and met up with Shigemoto.
They are quite far away, so I can’t hear what they’re talking about, but they began smiling at each other as soon as they met, and they seem to be enjoying themselves.
“…Good, looks like the two of them made it to each other safely.”
“Yeah…”
When I looked at Sei, she was looking and smiling at them serenely.
But… I wonder what Sei-chan’s true feelings are at the moment.
I wonder if Sei-chan still likes Yuuichi right now.
At this point in the original story, she still saw Yuuichi as just a boy she was slightly interested in, but she would have been a little bewildered to see them go on a date together.
So how is she feeling now?
“What do you think of Fujise and Yuuichi, Sei-chan? Do you think they’re a good match?”
“Hmm? Yeah, I guess so. Shiho is, of course, a very nice girl. And Shigemoto, as I got involved with him, I found out that, well, he’s a nice enough guy to match with Shiho.”
“I don’t mean to ask you this, but… You used to like Yuichi, didn’t you, Sei-chan?”
“Well, I was a little concerned about him I guess.”
“Do you still feel the same way about him?”
“Do you want me to say that or something?”
“Eh?”
I raised my voice in question and looked at Sei-chan questionably, who was looking at me with a slightly upturned gaze, since I was taller than her.
“I don’t care about Shigemoto right now. Besid-… N-No! Nevermind, It’s nothing!”
“Wh-What? If you’re saying so much, might as well tell me everything.”
“Well, I won’t tell you just yet! Hey, look! It’s about time that Shigemoto and Shiho went into the amusement park!”
As Sei-chan said, I saw them both walk into the amusement park.
“Let’s go in before we lose sight of them.”
“O-Okay.”
Sei-chan tries to get ahead of me at a quick pace, so I follow along with her.
She seemed to be hiding her embarrassment, and if it were true, I’d like to question her a little more about it. But we’ll be together for the entire day, so I don’t want to put her in a bad mood.
I mean, are we really going to have an amusement park date together…!
Now you’re making me nervous all over again.
