Chapter 27 – Talking With Kaoru
“Welcome! … Ah! Kaoru-chan and Kaito-kun! You came!”
When Kaoru and I entered the cafe where Kirara works, Kirara, who was serving customers, welcomed us with a smile.
“Kirara-chan! We’re here~”
“Welcome, you two! It’s lunchtime, so more customers will be coming soon, but take your time and relax!”
“Alright, we’ll do that.”
“Okay!”
And so, Kaoru and I were shown to our seats by Kirara, and we sat down.
“What would you like to eat, Kaito-kun?”
Kaoru asked after sitting down and looking at the menu.
“Well… I think I’ll have the omurice. What about you, Kaoru?”
“I feel like eating the same thing as Kaito-kun, so I think I’ll have omurice too!”
Kaoru said with a smile.
“Okay then.”
“Yes!”
After that, we called a staff member, and Kirara came back.
“Have you decided what to order?”
Kirara, who was working, said this in a polite manner.
Kaoru said to Kirara.
“Um, then… we’ll have two omurice, please!”
“Understood! Please wait a moment.”
With that, Kirara took our order and went back.
“Kirara-chan is really dependable, isn’t she?”
“Yeah, well, she’s working, and other customers just arrived too.”
“That’s true. But don’t you think Kirara-chan is really cool, Kaito-kun?”
“Cool, huh… Maybe.”
A little while later, the omurice arrived.
This time it wasn’t Kirara who brought it, but someone else, but as Kirara had said earlier, the number of customers was increasing.
This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, so it seems to get a lot of customers during lunchtime, regardless of whether it’s a weekday or a holiday.
“It looks really delicious, Kaito-kun~”
“Yeah, it does. Let’s dig in.”
“Yup!”
And with that, Kaoru took a bite.
“It’s so fluffy and delicious! Kaito-kun, try some too.”
“Yeah.”
After that, Kaoru and I enjoyed our omurice.

——After finishing the omurice, we walked outside.
“We didn’t get to talk to Kirara-chan much.”
“Well, it couldn’t be helped. Unlike last time, we came during lunchtime so there were a lot of customers. And you can talk to her every day at school, Kaoru.”
“Yeah. But at least the omurice was tasty, so I guess it’s okay.”
“Yeah, it really was.”
“I hope Kirara-chan isn’t pushing herself too hard though…”
“Pushing herself?”
“Yeah. Since we already know she works at this café, she told me she’s actually juggling multiple jobs now…”
“I see…”
If we were to ask whether Kirara was pushing herself too hard, Kirara herself would probably say she wasn’t. But fatigue must be piling up.
She’s probably pushing through with just one thought in mind——doing it for her grandparents.
“When I asked if she was okay, she just said she was fine, but…”
“Well, she did mention she has things she wants to buy.”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
I want to help Kirara, but I can’t just step in without the right opportunity.
I need to think about it a bit more and think about what I can do to help her.
Rather than that, I need to concentrate on telling Kaoru about myself.
I don’t want to hide anything from Kaoru… but I can’t tell her anything about my reincarnation…
Still, I’ve decided to tell her about my financial situation today, so I’ll tell her when we get home.
“Kaoru? What are we going to do now?”
“Yeah… I was actually thinking about going out somewhere, but let’s go to Kaito-kun’s house now. I just thought it would be nice to spend some time alone together.”
That’s perfect… I said to Kaoru who said that with a smile.
“Okay, then let’s go home.”
“Yeah!”
◆
——After we got home, we sat talking in my room.
“Kaoru. There’s something I want to talk about. Is that okay?”
I thought now was a good chance to talk about money and stuff.
“Of course. What’s wrong?”
“Today, you brought your clothes and other things to school to stay at my house, right?”
“Yeah! That’s right.”
“Isn’t that a hassle?”
“Well… yeah, I guess so. Since I have so much stuff, Shin and the others keep asking me what I’m carrying.”
“Right? So, if you’re okay with it, the room next door is empty. You can use it as your own room and leave your things there if you want.”
“Eh?! Really?”
“Of course. I’ll prepare a wardrobe, bed, and anything else you need.”
When I said that, Kaoru said,
“Now that I think about it, isn’t the room next door an empty one?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Then… I think I’ll pass. I’d feel bad taking up space like that… Besides, if I bring my clothes from home, Mom might find out.”
I had already planned on buying her some clothes, but… Well, that’s just like Kaoru.
Since I expected this response, I said…
“Well, that’s true, Kaoru… And there’s one more thing I want to say that’s related to this.”
“Yes?”
“Actually… I’m quite wealthy… I’m not trying to brag of course, I just want to tell you not to worry too much…”
“Wealthy?”
She doesn’t seem to get what I’m trying to say.
Well, it’s true that the house is big, but I’ve never worn expensive things and Kaoru’s never seen me buy anything expensive… Well, the only expensive things I have are the equipment in the training room in my house, but Kaoru has never been to that room.
“Wait a minute.”
I brought my bankbook with the most money in it to quickly explain.
I have a few other bankbooks, but this one has the most money.
I showed it to Kaoru.
“This is…?”
“Well, as you can see, it’s my bankbook… Go ahead and check the balance.”
“Y-yes…”
Kaoru glanced at the balance and froze.
“T-Ten digits?! K-Kaito-kun, this is…”
“Well, you see… I make a lot of money from investing and stuff… But I’m not very greedy myself so I don’t know what to do with the money… That’s why I want to spend it on Kaoru since she’s my girlfriend…”
“Eh…”
After a while, Kaoru calmed down.
“Alright… I get it now. Kaito-kun is rich. But that doesn’t mean I want him to buy me everything.”
“Well, I’ll say it differently then. I want Kaoru to come over to my house more, so I want to make a room for her.”
“…You’re so sneaky with words, Kaito-kun.”
“Is that a no?”
I said to Kaoru, who was blushing.
Kaoru thought about something for a while and then said,
“Kaito-kun, if you say so, I understand… But only the bare minimum, okay? There’s no need to spend more money than necessary!”
“Well, okay. But if you can’t bring clothes from home, we’ll need to buy them, right?”
“R-right…”
“Then let’s get three outfits. That should be fine, right?”
“Three? Isn’t one enough?”
“Well, just in case. You never know.”
“O-okay… Thanks.”
Kaoru looked apologetic, but also happy.
Kaoru is not the kind of girl who is tempted by money, but she’s probably happy that I’m going to such lengths for her… That’s just the kind of girl she is.
“Then let’s go shopping for clothes together tomorrow. I’ll order the bed and wardrobe online later.”
“Tomorrow… Yeah, okay. Thanks, Kaito-kun!”
Kaoru said with a smile.
Honestly, I don’t mind spending a lot of money for Kaoru, but she told me not to spend more than necessary, so I guess I shouldn’t go overboard.
Also, I said we should go clothes shopping tomorrow, but I hope Kaoru doesn’t ask me to pick out clothes…
Neither I nor Ougo Kaito are interested in fashion, so we really don’t know anything about that sort of thing… And it’s even worse when it comes to girls’s fashion.
The casual clothes I have now were chosen by a girl who Ougo Kaito had a relationship with in the past…
Well, saying that she chose them makes it sound like they were quite close, while in reality, it was more like, “If you’re already shopping for yourself, here’s some money, grab something for me too.”
Well, at least the girl put some thought into it.
Anyway, the point is——I have zero fashion sense.
