Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San? - V2 Chapter 1.3
I feel disgusted, embarrassed but it can’t be helped.
Because, currently in my room……..
“Thank you Rinka-chan. Then I will take your words for it…..”
He sat down gently on top of the rug as his silky soft hair sank.
Then looking at the action of his crossing his legs and thought, “Oshio-kun legs are long after all……..”, No , how long I’m going to be standing here like this.
*Passhin* I cleared my thoughts by clapping my cheeks.
Hold yourself! It’s because this is an abnormal situation that I have to be strong!
Yes! This was indeed an abnormal situation.
Because for some reason, Oshio Sota-san is visiting me in my room.
Moreover Alone. I mean, it’s just the two of us, what does that mean?
No, I know the cause of this already, the Mine from yesterday.
I panicked and accidentally sent the Tosa Sticker to Oshio-kun because of that moronic big sister and as I put together a bunch of words to cover up my mistake, I found myself saying,
“Isn’t talking on the phone or MINE too much work? Let’s talk at my place tomorrow after school. I don’t mind having boys in my room, or is oshio-san the type who worries about such trifling thing?”
Like this.
No, I didn’t actually say that, but that’s roughly what I said. When I thought about it later, it sounded like a provocation.
It’s solely my pride that has brought me into this desperate predicament!
Why do you mean you don’t mind? In the first place, it’s the first time a boy has entered my room.
By the way, after that, I sent Koharu 100’s of stern faced Siberian husky stickers in retaliation, while taking the opportunity to mute her.
Though I did that, the current situation doesn’t seem optimistic.
It has been less than 10 seconds passed since oshio-san entered my room but not able to comprehend situation completely, he looked at me,
“Though I’m saying it after sitting down, is it really all right for me to come?”
“Ado………”. (T/N : just a strange word she accidentally slipped out)
It’s not ado. My face suddenly started burning up. Looking at oshio-san’s face, I forgot the following words and became the ultimate klutz, different from the cool act in class.
“It’s totally fine! I was just having a free moment”
“Ah, okay……I see”
Without doubt, I’m getting attracted.
Although what Oshio-kun is saying is “is it really okay for a boy to come in your room?”, Confirming it and yet i can’t even read along the lines anymore.
I’m slowly tearing up, what is this, some kind of nightmare?
“I will get you something to drink…….”
First of all, strategic retreat.
When I heard Mr. Oshio’s slightly reluctant “Oh, thank you…?” I wish there was a pause button in my life nowadays.
Silence follows for a while in the room.
I could hear the distant voices of birds, and the sound of the air conditioner running.
Every once in a while, the water in my glass makes a high-pitched chugging sound, as I was sitting in the bed, my shoulders trembling. I feel like a rabbit or something.
I glanced at the oshio-san to see if he hadn’t seen my embarrassing self.
Oshio-san wasn’t looking at all.
Then, if you ask me where he is currently looking at? The answer is in my cherished shoujo manga in his palm.
[…………]
The face of Oshio-san looking at is too serious.
You can see at a glance that he is immersed in the world of the story just by his slightly open lips and the movement of his eyes
.
…….or rather, his hair is soft, aren’t they?
“………huh?”
The hand that was turning the page stopped.
When I was wondering what happened, Oshio-san slightly hid his mouth with his hand, his cheeks slightly blushing……huh?
Perhaps, Oshio-san is getting embarrassed? Hmm, Oshio-kun eyelashes are long, I’m so envio——
“This surely is amazing”
“Huh, yes!?”
Because oshio-san swiftly and suddenly raised his voice, I almost thought my heart was going to leap out of my mouth.
However oshio-san didn’t seems to be care much and said in somewhat excited voice,
“I have never read a shoujo manga before….but this is amazing! This is really interesting, have Girls been reading this stuff since they were little?”
“Habi……..”
I let out a strange voice.
I mean, since I was a little girl, the manga was actually something that kids around my age would laugh at and call “childish”.
But I like that kind of childish love story.
Receiving the praise of Oshio-san saying ” this is really interesting”, I was happy and so mixed with various emotions, I slipped out “habi.”
I want to die.
“Th…… that’s right”
“I see. That’s great. No wonder girls are more mature.”
“Ahaha……..”
My smiles stiffen. I don’t feel like I’m cheating, right?
Nevertheless,
“Did something happen today, Oshio-san? Wanting to read shoujo manga suddenly”
A natural question came to my mind now.
It was my fault for calling him without asking why, but I was curious anyway.
Only Mayo-san knows that I collect these types of manga, so it’s easier to Imagine who instigated it, however I couldn’t understand the reason.
Then, Oshio-san scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said,
“Actually, there is a girl I’m currently going out with….”
……….. strange things happen.
Even though I know everything from how he likes Koharu, his confession and even that both are mutually in love with each other.
It’s still painful directly hearing from his mouth.
“………it’s Koharu, isn’t it? So you are actually going out with Koharu? Koharu is slow, right?”
I made a lame attempt at an amiable smile and said that as a warning to myself that I still hadn’t gotten rid of my crush.
Haa……I’m such a snob.
When I was in a state of self-loathing, he somehow blushed even more and said,
“No, it’s kind of embarrassing story but we still haven’t done anything”
At the unexpected reply, I inadvertently let out a goofy voice.
“Oshio-san, you have confessed that day, didn’t you?”
“…………….I did”
“It was mutual love, wasn’t it?”
“Yes”
He blushed even more, how cute.
“It’s been two months since then, but nothing has happened?”
“………..we haven’t even held hands”
“What!!?”
A voice that could not possibly be directed at the person she was in love with came out.
Apparently Oshio-kun himself anticipated this reaction, he scratched his head as if to hide his embarrassment that was on the verge of exploding.
“………no, I know what I’m saying is completely strange but, haa~, after all i didn’t want to show myself like this with Rinka-chan.”
Embarrassed Oshio-san is too cute…..no, that’s not the point right now.
“In other words?”
I fearfully ask Oshio-kun and he said while hiding his mouth with his hand,
“I don’t know what it means to be in a relationship, so I came here to learn”
With that manga? That’s cute.
—— Rinko Sudo, 15 years old.
Facts are stranger than novels or so I thought. Anyway, there are strange things that happen when you live for 15 years.
Just a few minutes ago I was facing the biggest crisis of my life, but now I don’t know.
“I’ve been thinking about this kabedon thing for a while, but do people do it in real life?”.
“The other day, my friend was excited that she asked her boyfriend to do it for her. But in real life, kabe-don right after meeting him like in that manga would be a turn-off.”.
“I see. So this is what you do after going out…..”
“O, Oshio-san please don’t try to do this or Koharu’s heart will stop”
Somehow, I’m sitting shoulder to shoulder with my crush right now, reading a shoujo manga and discussing whether or not there is such a thing as “kabedon”.
“Huh? Will kanade end up going out with itsuki? What about childhood friend, Minato?”
“Huh~~? You really didn’t get it at all, Oshio-san. Minato is 100% no good. There’s no way she will go out with that good for nothing.”
“———-but, the memories from childhood”
“You can’t date someone based on memories. Girls are more practical.”
Oshio-san nodded deeply in admiration and dove back into the world of manga once again.
I pretended to shift my gaze to the manga and sneak a peek at Oshio’s profile.
The sharp line from his ears to his chin, the bridge of his nose, and his serious gaze as he glided over the panels.
Oshio-san is currently reading all the girls’ manga I recommended to him as a way of studying, but I didn’t expect him to be so into it.
Outside the window, the sun has long since set, but I’m sure Oshio-san doesn’t even notice. He is completely immersed in the world of the story.
Every once in a while, he would emerge from the world of the story and comment on the characters and the development of the story, and I would respond to him.
If I have to say honestly, I’m really happy, enjoying my time with him but at the same time I have that complex feeling inside.
We are so close that we can feel quite breathing in each other but he never turned around to look at me.
