Even Today, the Genius High School Programmer Cashes In on Day Trades, Completely Flustered by Beautiful Girls' Growing Affection. - Chapter 6: Boy Meets Girl Again.
Boy Meets Girl Again.
I stared back at her face.
Translucent, porcelain-white skin.
Wide, perfectly double-lidded eyes that seemed to sparkle.
Long lashes framing those tawny irises.
A straight, refined nose that looked almost sculpted.
This girl…
She was the same breathtaking beauty from that day!
She kept her gaze fixed on me, suspicion narrowing her eyes.
She hasn’t noticed yet?
Right—back then I had my bangs swept up and styled.
Now they’re hanging down, half-covering my eyes.
She’d been so terrified when I suddenly grabbed her hand that day.
If she realizes who I am right here, things are going to get incredibly messy.
Best to just play it off somehow…
She was still staring intently.
“Uh…”
I faltered.
Without a word, she stepped closer—slowly, deliberately—bringing her face nearer.
Too close!
Way too close!
A beautiful girl’s face was right in front of mine!
I took a silent step back.
She closed the distance again.
Another step back from me; another forward from her.
One more retreat, and my back hit the corridor wall.
Shit. Nowhere left to go.
She took one final step, then—without hesitation—planted her left hand against the wall right above my shoulder.
The classic kabedon.
Never in my life did I think I’d be on the receiving end of a wall-pin from a girl.
I hadn’t even imagined doing one myself, let alone being the one pinned.
Still holding the position, she continued staring straight into my face.
And then…
“Excuse me for just a second!”
The words came out in a rush. Almost before I could register them, her right hand swept my bangs upward and locked my head firmly in place.
“Found you…”
She whispered.
She’d found me.
The surrounding students immediately erupted into murmurs, eyes glued to the scene.
“What the hell is that?”
“Snow Princess is…”
“Is this some kind of reward?”
“Or maybe punishment…”
“Damn, I want that too…”
Voices overlapped from every direction.
“Ah—s-sorry!”
She must have sensed the attention.
Snapping back to reality, the beauty abruptly pulled away, stepping back with flushed cheeks the color of a ripe tomato.
“Y-you’re… the one who helped me the other day, right?”
“Nope. Wrong person.”
“It’s not a mistake! I remember your voice perfectly—and your face!”
“Saya tidak mengerti bahasa Jepang”
[TL Note: 「サヤ ティダ マガルティ バハサ ジュパン」 is written in Japanese katakana, but it represents Indonesian/Malay words. ‘I don’t understand Japanese.’]
“Please don’t pretend to be Indonesian!”
How did she see through that so fast?
Looks like escape isn’t an option.
“I was so scared back then! I couldn’t move at all! And then—you grabbed my hand and pulled me out of there! Ever since, I’ve wanted to thank you so badly! But I didn’t know who you were or where to find you! So the next weekend I went back to the same place with my friends and searched everywhere, but you weren’t there! I kept thinking and thinking about what to do, and then—”
“O-okay, okay. Got it. Just… calm down for a sec.”
She was glitching like a broken Siri on overdrive.
I tried to soothe her, but before I could get anywhere,
“Hey, hey, Yukina, take a breath already. Look—the prince is clearly in trouble here, and everyone’s staring…”
A petite girl with twin-tails appeared and began calming the beauty down.
By now, about fifteen rubberneckers had gathered.
“Snow Princess…”
“Who’s that guy?”
“Was he even in our year?”
“Hina-tan’s here too…”
“Aoi-san looks amazing…”
Way too much attention.
“So yeahhh,” the twin-tailed girl continued, turning toward me with a bright grin, “Yukina’s been searching for you this whole time. Finally found you, got super excited, and basically bluescreened. Hilarious, right?”
She stepped closer, still beaming.
“Anyway, let’s just exchange contacts real quick. Phone out.”
She pulled out her own smartphone.
I glanced at her small frame and felt something off.
She couldn’t have been taller than 145 cm.
Baby face, looked like an elementary schooler at best—middle school if generous.
But one part of her body was outrageously developed.
Her chest.
The kind of breasts that defied physics on such a tiny, delicate build.
It was blatantly unnatural.
“Hold on a second.”
I spoke to the big-breasted twin-tail.
“Hm? What’s up?”
“What exactly is stuffed in there?”
“Hmm… maybe the dreams and hopes of adolescent boys?”
Apparently they were real.
“More importantly, hurry up and take your phone out.”
I really didn’t want to give it.
Something told me this would come back to bite me later.
“I don’t carry one. Electromagnetic waves are bad for the body.”
“I literally just saw it sticking out of your back pocket. Hand it over.”
“My dead father’s last words forbade me from exchanging contacts with high-school girls.”
(For the record, Dad went to work healthy and happy this morning.)
“Suuu—maaa—rt—phoooone—”
“Ah, fine.”
She wasn’t letting me off.
The twin-tailed girl opened Lime, displayed the green QR screen, and scanned it with practiced ease.
While that was happening, I caught snippets of conversation between Shingo and another soft, wavy-haired girl.
“Was he your friend, Shingo?”
“I’m just as shocked as you are—”
“Done!”
My phone was returned safely.
“Next period’s about to start, so let’s continue this another time, okay? See you later, Prince~”
The twin-tail waved her hand cheerfully.
Yukina—still faintly pink in the face—bowed repeatedly in apology.
The wavy-haired beauty gave a gentle, sunny smile as the three of them walked away.
I let out a long breath.
What the hell just happened?
“Kousuke, we’re gonna be late.”
“Shit, you’re right!”
No time to waste. We broke into a jog toward the chemistry lab.
…By the way, what was with the “Prince” thing?
