NOVEL WEB Chapter 81: Sei puts on a disguise
After I split up with Hisamura and Tobise, all I could think about on the way back was Tobise. [TLN: YURI!]
“She’s really pretty isn’t she..”
There are a lot of beautiful girls around me, like Tojoin and Shiho.
Of course, I think that I’m fairly good looking too, but Tojoin and Shiho are way prettier in comparison.
It’s not often there’s someone that has the looks to stand alongside them, but Marino Tobise, whom I had just met earlier could do that with ease.
She’d probably be a very attractive person if she kept silent and wouldn’t lose in a fight of ‘mature’ beauty when compared to Tojoin.
But because of her personality, she’s all smiles and has the same clumsy and charmful innocence of Shiho.
And she has a certain kind of sex appeal that the other two didn’t have.
It’s a little hard to explain but she’s… erotic.
“……”
It’s not that I don’t trust them.
Tsukasa is very proactive at saying that he likes me. It’s embarrassing to admit but it’s true.
But that still doesn’t resolve the worrying thoughts that roam inside my head.
I trust him, and I know that Tsukasa would never betray me with another woman, but it’s still extremely worrying.
“and she seems close enough to refer to him as Tsukasa-kun…”
The most incriminating thing was the fact that she calls him by his first name.
I had to quickly change to Hisamura when she had arrived.
Tsukasa, who also noticed the fact, called me Shimada.
However Tobise who was completely oblivious to my dilemma just casually called him “Tsukasa-kun” and me “Sei-chan”.
I don’t mind being called “Sei-chan” since Shiho and Tsukasa call me that often.
But her calling him “Tsukasa” bothered me alot.
(EVEN I DON’T CALL HIM THAT IN PUBLIC!)
I get extremely irritated when I think about it more and more.
(And Tsukasa, how could he let her soo easily refer to him like that as she’s someone he just met recently. Wait no, maybe Tobise-san refers to everyone like that.)
I felt an atmosphere similar to Shiho surrounding her, so that could possibly be the case.
Shiho treated everyone equally so she was often misunderstood by various boys.
Well now that Shiho has publicly announced that she likes Shigemoto, it doesn’t really happen anymore.
Perhaps Tobise-san was also easily misunderstood when they were treated like how she treated Tsukasa.
But Tsukasa would not misunderstand such a thing, he definitely must not.
Even if he somehow misunderstands her and has the thought “Does Tobise-san like me?” it shouldn’t matter since he already has me. [TLN: Go queen!] [EDN: SEI-CHAN!!! GO GO GO!!]
(Yeah, I still feel a bit worried…)
With conflicting thoughts racing in my mind, I had already reached home.
I went back to my room, dumped my bag on the floor and lied on the bed to think about the situation.
Whenever I’m deep in thought I have a habit of hugging my stuffed animal, but it’s more or so a subconscious decision.
“What should I do..”
I hate this anxious feeling.
I want to get rid of it but I’m not sure how.
“Well for now, I guess I’ll do some homework or something.”
Homework will help distract me surely.
With that in mind I sat down and spread my work on the desk.
After that, I tried concentrating to solve it, but I really couldn’t.
I was still curious about the relationship between Tsukasa and that woman, Tobise.
(Are they both working at the same part-time job right now?)
I glanced at the clock and I’ve only been home for about thirty minutes.
“I don’t know how long Tsukasa will be at his part-time job, but it hasn’t even been an hour yet, so he’s probably still working diligently.”
(Haah, I can’t even concentrate on homework, I guess I’ll go outside for a while.)
I’ll go to Moonbucks and get a drink or something.
As soon as I finished that thought, I was hit with a realisation.
(Isn’t it possible for me to just… go to Tsukasa’s workplace.)
Tsukasa’s part time job is at an ordinary coffee shop.
There’s nothing wrong with me going there and I wouldn’t get kicked out for no reason.
Tsukasa even told me “You should come sometime, Sei-chan” so even if I went there the same day it shouldn’t really matter.
If I’m so concerned about how Tsukasa and Tobise are doing so far, I should just check on them at their part-time job.
(But wait, If I go to find Tsukasa immediately after meeting Tobise, wouldn’t she find out that I’m dating Tsukasa..?)
I told her that we were just normal friends.
It would be strange to go to a normal friend’s part-time workplace right after we just split.
Even if we tried to make it a coincidence, we would get discovered pretty easily.
Besides, if Tsukasa asked me ‘What’s up? Why did you come here all of a sudden?’ I don’t think I’ll know how to respond back to him.
(I’m too embarrassed to admit that I’m worried about him and Tobise.)
My cheeks flushed a little and I immediately shook my head to get rid of those thoughts.
After thinking about it for a bit, I came to a decision.
“..To disguise myself”
I have disguised myself several times before.
I was in disguise when I headed to the shoujo manga section even if it didn’t suit me.
If I ran into someone I had to make sure that they didn’t know it was me.
I was dressed in a very feminine outfit that time, I wore a dress that I don’t usually wear.
Since I was going to the shoujo section, I figured it would be more appropriate to dress in that sort of way.
But since I’m going to a coffee shop, I don’t think I need to wear a skirt.
“In short, I’m certain I wouldn’t be found out. If I just cover my face and wear a hat, while dressing in clothes I haven’t shown Tsukasa before. I’m sure I wouldn’t be found out.”
Thus the resulting outfit resulted in a outfit consisting of mostly black clothing with a black cap and sunglasses to mask my face.
It may be overkill but if I don’t do this much, Tsukasa would easily find out.
“Fufu, well I must say I like this disguise.”
I looked in the mirror and nodded, I’m confident I wouldn’t be found out.
—In actuality, she was found out the moment she entered the scene.
“Alright let’s go.”
With that in mind, I headed to Tsukasa’s part time job.
