Although She's a Beautiful Student Council President Who Maintains Her Coolness Towards Everyone, She Wants to Act Spoiled and Lovesick Around Him, Who is Misunderstood by Everyone as a Delinquent - Chapter 56: Date (2)

“Hey, hey… Why won’t you talk to me…?”

“If you could explain the situation to me…”

“I… I told you, I want to be spoiled by you, Riku-kun.. That’s why I’m just doing this…”

“Ah, well, I’m not used to this kind of thing, so I can’t have a natural conversation… I wonder how you can do it so easily…”

“I’m embarrassed too… But I really want to be spoiled by you…”

The two, walking at a leisurely pace towards a certain place, were having such a conversation while their faces flushed.

The current situation was that Shizuku had her arm around Riku’s, and they were walking closely together – something unique to couples and married couples.

Naturally, Shizuku’s bountiful chest, which seemed disproportionate to her small face, was pressed against Riku’s arm…

“Why don’t we just… hold hands?”

“If you don’t like it… I’ll stop… but”

“If you make such a face, I can’t say ‘I don’t like it’… Well, I’m just embarrassed, it’s not like I dislike it.”

There’s no way he could dislike having this done by the person he likes. Rather, it makes him happy… However, he can’t help but feel embarrassed in front of others.

“If you don’t dislike it, it’s fine like this, isn’t it? After all, this is all your fault, Riku-kun…”

“What do you mean? I’d like an explanation…”

“Because… you have been looking at other women… So I have to show off that I’m your girlfriend or else I’ll feel anxious…”

“…”

It’s probably not just an excuse to be spoiled; Shizuku lowered her gaze and dropped her voice. It’s clear to see that she’s being honest when interacting with her.

“I’m sorry… It seems like I have a strong possessive desire… This is no good, right? You will get tired of me soon-“

“Don’t worry. I’m actually happy that you’re like this. I’m not sure if I was really looking at other women, but I understand how you feel.”

Riku may not have noticed it, but it’s likely that Shizuku has also received attention from men. However, he’s walking arm in arm with her, and he doesn’t have the luxury to look elsewhere.

If Riku were in Shizuku’s position, he would understand her feelings all too well.

“Besides, there’s no way I’d ever get tired of you. You’re my pride and joy, and I want to cherish you from now on. So don’t worry too much.”

“R-Riku-kun…”

Upon hearing those words, Shizuku’s face turned even redder.

“Cherish… Gosh… It’s not fair to say that so suddenly… You definitely said that on purpose…”

“I didn’t mean it like that, but I want you to understand that it’s my true feelings.”

“You’re taking responsibility for what you’re saying, right? Because I intend to have you make me happy… Okay?”

“I’ll definitely take responsibility for that.”

This was also a promise with Shigeo. It was because he made this promise and believed that he would keep it that Shigeo helped Shizuku.

He will never do anything that goes against this promise. He doesn’t even want to.

“Anyway, I think it’s more likely that you would get bored of me, right? There’s a difference in…level between me and Shizuku.”

“Hmm. Did you say something?”

“Muni!”

That remark angered Shizuku. She grabbed Riku’s cheek and twisted it in pain.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…”

“Well, Riku-kun… I… might not be good at showing affection or being spoiled, but I love you… I won’t get bored, okay?”

As if she had gathered her courage for the confession, Shizuku looked up at Riku shyly.

“Understood…?”

“Y-Yeah…”

“Well, that’s good. You’re the boyfriend I am proud of, after all…”

“That line was definitely on purpose, wasn’t it? That’s unfair…”

“Well, who knows? Fufu.”

With a mounting smile, Shizuku looked happy and bashful.

However, the situation changed in an instant.

“Oh!? Hey, that’s Riku!”

“K-Kenta…”

“…N-Nice to meet you. I’m Kenta’s sister, Momo.”

In the middle of their date, they happened to run into their classmate Kenta and his sister.

“A sister…? Kenta, you have a sister?”

“Yeah, she’s cute, right? I could even let you  have her.”

“Onii-chan! What are you saying in front of his girlfriend?!”

Momo glanced at Shizuku, who was clinging to Riku’s arm, and quickly waved her hands to stop Kenta.

“Hahaha, I’m just kidding… So, there’s one thing I want to ask… Riku. Who’s that woman next to you?”

“It’s Shizuku…”

“What are you playing dumb for…? I’m talking about the woman you’re with.”

“No, really, it’s Shizuku.”

“No way, it’s definitely not Shizuku-senpai… huh?”

Kenta stared intently at Shizuku, who was clinging to Riku’s arm and looking down to avoid showing her face. Finally, he noticed the completely different Shizuku… the Shizuku with her ears dyed bright red…

“Eh!? Sh-Shizuku-senpai…? The real Shizuku-senpai…?”

Nod…

Without saying a word, Shizuku nodded once. It was a sight that would never happen at school.

“Did you really not recognize her…? Wasn’t it just a joke?”

“No, I really didn’t know… I thought you were with a normal model…”

“As her boyfriend, I’m happy to hear that… Hahaha.”

“Damn… That boasting is building up my frustration…”

“Well, I’ll take it as a compliment.”

“Ah, now I want to observe how Riku dates…”

Kenta joked, but of course, he wasn’t serious.

“Onii-chan! Don’t get in the way of their date because you’re jealous! Let’s go!”

“Alright, alright, it was just a joke! Don’t pull me like that!”

“There are good jokes and bad jokes!”

“But you don’t have to pull me!”

In broad daylight, the siblings began to argue. Their closeness was apparent as they argued, just like the saying that fighting brings people closer.

The quarrel ended quickly… and perhaps out of reflection, Kenta apologized immediately.

“Sorry for interrupting your date.”

“No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. And thanks to your sister as well.”

“No problem! I just did what I had to do as a sister!”

“Tsk, that’s why sisters are… Oh, and if you have time, you should try the new cat cafe that just opened. We just went there, and it was really great.”

Kenta said that and pointed to his sister Momo’s head with his index finger.

“Well, we have to excuse ourselves now… Come on, don’t bother their date any longer, little sister.”

“You’re the one who was bothering them!”

And so, Kenta and his sister started bickering again as they left amicably.

“I was seen… Seen by someone from school…”

“Hahaha, I don’t mind seeing that side of you, though. I understand that you wouldn’t want your friends to see a different side of you than at school…”

“Baka..”

“Wh-What? Why are you suddenly calling me an idiot…?”

“…I don’t know anymore.”

“Why!?”

Riku’s arms were still entwined with Shizuku’s arms….. After she said “baka”, she tightened her hold.
