NOVEL WEB Chapter 25: Sei's First Date
Shigemoto and Shiho, as well as Sei-chan and Hisamura, were able to safely enter the amusement park.
This amusement park is very large and has many different attractions and facilities.
It’s impossible to ride all the attractions in this amusement park in one day.
As Shigemoto and Shiho continued their date, Sei and Hisamura followed them both at a distance.
They were far enough so that they wouldn’t be spotted if they suddenly turned around, but also close enough so that they would never lose sight of each other either.
They followed their date at a distance. But in Sei-chan’s heart, things were a bit hectic.
Sei-chan’s POV
“We-Well I shouldn’t have worn this outfit.”
The thing I was most concerned about currently was how I was dressed.
I thought about it until just before I went to bed last night, and kept thinking even after I woke up this morning. I kept wondering what dress I should actually wear until just before I actually left the house.
I decided to wear the sweater that revealed the belly button that Shiho recommended. The one which I had immediately rejected.
I was really unsure about wearing this, but I mustered up the courage to wear it.
‘It’s embarrassing but Hisamura was very happy to see me like this… N-NO, I didn’t wear this to make him happy!’
I tried to make an excuse in my heart, but then thought again.
‘N-No, I shouldn’t lie to myself. Of course I wore it to make Hisamura think that I was, well… cute. Even if it would make me just a tiny bit cuter I wanted him to think I looked cute… Though, he reacted stronger than what I actually imagined which made me the one extremely embarrassed instead!’
Well, it was a lot better than no reaction at all or just a subtle reaction.
However he reacted so well that… It’s kinda…
“Hisamura, your gaze hurts a little.”
“Uuu… Sorry.”
While Hisamura kept an eye on Shiho and Shigemoto, he also kept glancing at me whenever he had the chance. I who had been on Hisamura’s side for a while now.
Rather it looked like he would rather spend more time looking at me instead of stopping Tojoin from interrupting their date.
“We-Well, it’s rather embarrassing to be stared at so much.”
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. But I think it’s your fault that you’re so cute.”
Hisamura covered his face with his hand, perhaps to avoid looking at me.
“What’s with the nonsensical blame shifting?”
“Well, I just said it randomly. But it’s true that I stare at you because your outfit is just too cute.”
“Ku… You aren’t embarrassed being so honest, huh?”
“It’s a little embarrassing, but I’m just telling you the truth.”
If you say so much about me even I’d start to feel more embarrassed.
On the contrary, it would have been better if I just shook off his compliments and acted like a dignified person. But it was rather difficult to do so.
“We-Well for now, I’ll let you stare at me as much as you want. But don’t lose sight of Shigemoto and Fujise, okay?.”
“I understand. I mean, it’s okay to stare at Sei-chan, right?”
“We-Well I wore this dress because I was prepared to be seen by you.”
“Aren’t you just so cute?”
“O-Oh shut up.”
I became embarrassed and began walking faster to try and avoid his gaze. Hisamura just followed me with a smile on his face.
After a few minutes of progress, the first attraction Shiho and Shigemoto chose was-
“A roller coaster… They picked a fancy one out of the blue, those two.”
“That’s right. Well, these things are popular attractions, so they get pretty crowded in the afternoon.”
“Is that so?”
The line wasn’t that long yet, so it probably wouldn’t take a while for us to get in…
In the afternoon, it’s not uncommon to wait for an hour to be able to ride the popular attractions, so it’s better to get on them as early as possible.
“And Shiho is surprisingly fond of this sort of thing. How does Shigemoto feel about these types of rides?”
“Oh, I haven’t heard much about him, but I doubt he’s the type to freak out over something like this.”
“That’s true.”
As I looked at them standing in line, both of them were smiling and talking very much, as if they were looking forward to riding the roller coaster together.
It looks like fun…
“Okay, let’s get in line.”
“Oh, we’re getting in? If we get in, won’t we lose sight of those two?”
“…Oh, ye-yeah, I see. That’s right.”
It was true that if Hisamura and I were to get in the ride, it would be after the two of them had finished their ride.
It would make it more likely to lose sight of the both of them.
As for Sei-chan, like Shiho and Shigemoto, she wanted to ride it because she liked thrilling rides, but she would have to be patient this time around.
“Well, shall we line up?”
“Huh? But if we get in, we’ll lose Shiho and Shigemoto…”
“If we lose him, we can just RINE him and ask him where he is.”
“That’s true” [TLN: God they’re fucked.]
Shigemoto knew that Hisamura and I were at the amusement park, and since he was the one who had asked us to keep an eye on them, he would be able to tell us where they were.
“But what if Tojoin gets in the way of those two while we’re on board? That would be the end of the story then.”
“Ahh, yes. But don’t worry, we just entered the amusement park, she won’t come to disturb us just yet.”
“What makes you so sure?”
“My intuition.”
“How appropriate.”
“It would be boring to come to an amusement park just to keep an eye on them the entire time. It would be too much work if we had to constantly watch them vigilantly from the start, so we should let our guard down a little to relax.”
“That’s true” [TLN: God they’re really fucked] [ED:We can only pray]
Hisamura’s POV
I need to watch over Shigemoto and Fujise’s date from now till evening or even the night if it gets late.
If I’m on my toes all afternoon, I might not be able to stop Tojoin when the time comes.
“Come on, let’s just get in line.”
“Ah…”
Sei-chan was still a little worried. But Hisamura took her hand and got in line.
“Since we’re here already, we should have some fun too.”
The corner of Sei-chan’s mouth curved up when she saw Hisamura smiling at her.
“Haa~ If Tojoin get in the way of the both of ‘em. I’ll do my best.”
“Eh? Isn’t it impossible if she tries to interrupt them?”
“If Tojoin interferes, the worst that can happen is that we’ll have to break in there and rip Tojoin off them by force.”
“Would you go that far for Shiho?”
“Yeah, I won’t let her interfere with Shiho”
“Haha, as expected of Sei-chan”
“What do you mean?”
“It means you’re friendlier, more assertive, and even cooler than before.”
“Oh…”
Sei-Chan’s POV
I turned my head away again in embarrassment.
After Fujise and Shigemoto’s turn, it will be ours.
Before the ride, I was a little worried that those two would get interrupted by Tojoin during the ride, but once I got on, I was having fun.
I thought that since I had come to an amusement park, I might as well enjoy it like this.
But…
“Hisamura, if you don’t like roller coasters, you should have told me before the ride…”
“So-Sorry, I was so excited, I kinda forgot about it entirely.”
He felt a little sick. It seems that Hisamura has surprisingly weak semicircular canals.
After riding the roller coaster, both of us are sitting on a bench right next to the ride, resting quietly.
Hisamura is leaning against the back of the bench, trying to recover from his sickness.
“Sorry, I’ll recover soon.”
“Even you can be like that, huh. I’ve learned something useful today.”
After being teased for so long, I’ve finally learned about one of Hisamura’s weaknesses.
In fact… In a way, Sei-chan’s entire existence is a weakness to him.
“I hope you enjoy now that you know about this… but I’d rather you don’t play any tricks on me in the near future.”
“Right. Well, let’s go and ride the coffee cup thing next.”
“You’re going to get me sick again.”
“Fufu, just kidding.”
They rested there until Hisamura sent a RINE to Shigemoto and found out where the two of them were at. [TLN: Oh yeah, The date.]
[ED: Regarding the POV change yeah that just happened super randomly… hope you didn’t mind that]
