For Some Reason, the School Goddess Likes to Hang Out at My House - Episode 37: First Date With The Goddess ①

Episode 37: First Date With The Goddess ①

——Around 8 in the morning

A long line of people was forming in front of me.

I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people.

Even though it was only eight in the morning, it was hot as the sun was shining bright outside.

Because of the heat of the summer sun, it felt like my skin was scorching.

Well, the temperature wasn’t the only thing making my body hot to say the least.

“You really prepared yourself, Towa-kun. You’re looking really handsome today.”

“Is that so.” 

“It’s hot,” I said as I fanned my face.

The goddess was in a good mood as she was holding Neko-chan and humming.

The goddess looked mature.

She’s always mature and calm. But today, her charm increased by 50% due to her make up.

The sleek silhouette of her dress was fitting with its tight knight and soft skirt— It was a perfectly stylish look.

She looked like an elegant, young lady with her black and purple color combination.

As we waited in line to enter the park, the goddess had a smile on her face.

She did not blend into the crowd of people, but rather, she stood out.

The goddess had the eyes of every man who would pass her without exception.

Some of them were even immobilized with infatuation as if their hearts were stolen by the goddess.

Well, some of the females at the park had to grab their boyfriends by the ear and dragged them away.

It’s not hard to imagine what happened next.

This is why being next to Rin puts a weight on my shoulders.

Fortunately, thanks to Kenichi and Fuji, I don’t hear anyone saying, “Who’s this dorky guy, what’s he doing with her?”

They helped me with my clothes, my hairstyle, and so on.

It’s good that there isn’t anybody saying something like that.

While I was thinking about this, I looked at Rin.

Our gazes met, and I was thrilled.

Rin seemed to be paying attention to my head as she glanced at me.

“What’s wrong? Is there something bothering you?”

“Uh, did you get a haircut?”

“Oh, I’m surprised you noticed.”

“It looks really good on you.”

“My hair was long so I decided to cut it.”

“Fufu~. Oh, I see. I didn’t know you had such clothes.”

These clothes are…

That’s right, Rin has been cleaning them so she must know what I have.

Does that mean you know I bought it for today?

My face heated up at the thought.

“Is it… weird?”

“No, not at all. It’s more like…”

“Yeah?”

“It’s cool…”

“Thanks for the compliment… I didn’t expect you to say that. …”

“No, I just wanted to say what I’m thinking.”

Rin’s face began turning red as she buried her face into Neko-chan.

Despite her face being hidden, her ears were visibly red.

I mean, I’m embarrassed too…

I didn’t expect that I would be complimented.

There was an indescribable air between Rin and I until we entered the park.

It was amazingly awkward.

◇◇◇

——About Noon

After riding a few of the attractions, Rin and I discussed where to go next.

We decided on two rides: a thrilling ride and a cute fairy tale ride.

Incidentally, it was the first time that I had ridden a thrilling ride; I felt my heart jump out of my chest unlike Rin, who seemed to be unfazed.

To be honest, I don’t want to ride anymore.

Well, if Rin asks me to ride, then I will…

“That was a cute ride we just took, and Neko-chan was there too.”

She sticks the stuffed cat out at me.

I thought it was cute that she was a little excited.

“It’s probably because it’s too childish for me, but I didn’t enjoy the last ride as much.”

“I thought you had fun, but I guess that isn’t the case?”

“That isn’t true. I felt extremely tense all throughout the ride.”

For that matter, I don’t see much of a difference.

It’s true that she’s smiling more than usual, and her voice doesn’t seem to be lacking in inflection, but…

It’s just that she doesn’t seem that different from before.

“Towa-kun, look! There’s a lot of people over there. What’s going on?”

“Oh, that’s…”

I recalled the map of the amusement park and the events that I memorized in my head yesterday.

Speaking of daytime events–

“It’s a parade. There’s one during the day and one during the night.”

“I didn’t know that. So, you know a lot about it, don’t you, Towa-kun?”

“Well, I know only what I know.”

That’s just what I know.

I don’t know anything about the story of the characters in the amusement park.

“Perhaps you’ve been here before… With a girl?”

“NOOO! No way. Kenichi told me that.”

Rin was looking at me intensely as I made a gesture to deny it.

I can’t say that I researched it the day before.

That’s such a lame thing.

If I told her this, she would think I was looking forward to our date today.

「The parade will begin at 11:00」 

The broadcast echoed through the speakers.

And in response, a large number of people began to move toward the parade.

I thought I would be okay because I was on the edge, but I flinched a little at the unexpectedly large crowd.

Some people hurried and jumped out in front of us, trying to overtake the people in front of them.

Those people didn’t even bother to look to see if their friends were behind them.

And then they almost hit Rin.

But, I grabbed on Rin’s arm just in time and pulled her towards me.

This is definitely my fault, but the sudden tug threw Rin off balance as she clinged into my chest.

There’s a sweet scent that I can smell.

The scent, which was different from the perfume, tickled my nose.

Despite the fact that she clinged into my chest rather vigorously, I didn’t feel any pain in my chest.

On the contrary, I felt this soft sensation.

“… Towa-kun?”

Rin looked up and smiled at me.

Thank goodness.

It seems that she is not angry.

The word “sexual harassment” flashed though my eyes for a moment, but from the looks of it, I think I’m fine… I hope…

“I’m sorry, It’s just that I was looking at you in a daze. Did it hurt?”

“No, not at all. More importantly, I’m sorry for pulling you so abruptly. Did I hurt you, Rin?”

“No it’s fine. Rather thank you for saving me.”

“Well, it’s fine.”

“Fufu~” Rin gave a small laugh.

I should help her up now, but she doesn’t want to.

“I think it’s okay for us to go…”

“There’s still a lot of people out there… Can we stay like this a bit longer?”

“Yeah…”

She looked up at me as if she was spoiling me.

Unexpectedly, I’m in a position to lend her my chest.

I felt uneasy with the way she looked up at me at such a close range.

I don’t have any luck with women, not even close.

So, this kind of distance is not good for my heart. Even more so with a beautiful girl this close to me.

To make matters worse.

It’s not like we’re dating, so it doesn’t seem okay.

With her usual expression, it seems like Rin wasn’t aware of this position and was waiting for people to pass by .

Well, a beautiful girl like Rin, who is favored by many, shouldn’t be upset by this.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve become strangely aware of this.

The parade began, and the movement of people began to calm down.

After this, Rin stopped clinging on me and lined up beside me.

“Well, shall we go?”

“Ahh, yeah.”

Rin smiled as usual. It seems that I was the only one who was nervous.

Her long hair fluttered in the breeze.

It might have been my imagination, but I wonder if saw her ears turn red between them.
