Delivery Boy and Masked Girl - A delivery boy discovers the secret of a beautiful gal at his delivery destination. - Chapter 44: Christmas And Someone You Like.

Christmas And Someone You Like.

“Christmassss partchii!”

The third day of winter vacation, Christmas Day.

We gathered in Shizuki’s room and held a normal christmas party as we like to call it.

Wearing a red Santa hat made of paper, which she had bought on purpose, Minai held up her right hand.

As usual, she is a person whose excitement knows no bounds.

And stop standing on the couch.

Shizuki giving a crackling, subdued applause, and Haruomi whistling.

Thank God this is a soundproof apartment.

“And! Good job on the test!!”

“Good job!”

“Yes, good job on the test everyone.”

Oh, by the way, that’s what I was doing as well.

There is no doubt that Haruomi and the others did a great job on the test, so I’ll applaud them this time, too.

“I’m a genius, avoiding red marks in all subjects. I am!”

“Then am I a god who got better results than you, Minai? Hey, Yuuga, God has descended.”

“God is dead.”

“I’m glad to hear that,  Minai-san. And Senba-kun you too. Both of you have been studying hard, and it paid off.”

“UWAA!!~~ Thank you, Shizuki-chan!”

“Thank you, Shizuki-san!”

“No, Senba-kun, you are not allowed to hug. You have to put up with Yuuga-chi.”

“Yuuga!”

“Don’t come near me, don’t touch me.”

I mean, the air was hot and stuffy.

We then made a small toast with drinks brought by Shizuki.

We split up the chicken and pasta we had bought, and began our supper.

It seemed more like a proper party than I had expected.

“But still, it’s so sad that none of us have any plans for Christmas.”

“Wow, Senba, you’re saying that now?”

“What a bunch of sad youths you are.”

“Stop it!”

They are, indeed, very energetic.

But come to think of it, aside from Haruomi, does Minai not have a specific someone?

Surprising or not, I guess.

“I hope that next year I will have a girlfriend who is cute and has a good personality. Please, Santa Claus.”

“It’s impossible. Santa only gives presents to good children.

“I’m a good boy.”

Haruomi deliberately lowered his eyebrows and then nibbled on a piece of chicken on the bone.

If he could get a girlfriend, he might be a little more relaxed.

At the very least, he would probably come to our classroom less often.

“Shizuki, is there someone you like?”

“Wha-!!”

At Minai’s words, Shizuki’s shoulders bounced with a jerk.

It was easy to see, her eyes were swimming, and she seemed to be sweating.

For some reason, however, Minai looked at me and grinned, not at Shizuki.

Somehow I couldn’t help but be annoyed and looked away, but Haruomi was waiting for me at the other end of the line, grinning again.

Damn …what is this siege…

“What do you think, Shizuki? You don’t have a boyfriend, do you?”

“Well, Uhmm…”

“Ehhh! what? Do you have a boyfriend? Tell tell!”

“….Ehhamm…”

Strangely enough, when Shizuki was questioned by Minai, she did not say that there was no one she liked.

She did not answer that there was, but rather blushed and fidgeted all the time.

Watching her, I felt strangely moved.

As if to cover up my mental state, I quietly ate my french fries.

“Well, I’ll let you off the hook for today!”

“…Huh”

Sighing, Shizuki’s back was patted by Minai.

I don’t feel like she’s helping, but I don’t dare to say so.

“What about you Yuuga-chi?”

“…”

“Is there someone you like? Yuuga-ch-“

“Shut up.”

Evil immediately cut.

I won’t let her talk about this any longer.

“What is that?! Does that mean you have? Tell Tell!”

“Stop it. Behave like an adult and eat your chicken.”

“No~! I’ll have the chicken, but now.”

Not that I didn’t expect it, but I was not happy about this turn of events.

On the contrary, it is no exaggeration to say that I most wanted to avoid it.

I feel as if I had a similar experience just recently, but in a situation like this, no comment is the only way to go.

In fact, anything other than no comment is a bad idea.

However, in contrast to Minai’s disapprovingly puffed-out cheeks, Haruomi had a strangely calm and composed expression on his face.

When his eyes met mine, he didn’t say anything, just smiled.

He was a funny guy.

No, I’m sure he knows exactly what to do to make me feel uncomfortable in such a situation.

Impatience and embarrassment.

Haruomi’s gaze was more than enough to stir up such feelings of impatience and embarrassment.
