- Chapter 143 - About How It Doesn't Suit Me at All (Saeki's Perspective)
Inside the fitting room of a trendy shop.
“…This is totally not working…”
I mumbled to myself quietly while standing in front of the mirror in the fitting room.
I was trying on an ultra-mini skirt and a cropped top that revealed my belly. Well, to be honest, I was trying on some pretty revealing clothes.
I had seen a stylish gal earlier, and trying to imitate her, I decided to try on some bold clothes. But to be honest, they didn’t suit me at all.
Of course, there were probably many reasons why the outfit didn’t suit me, but the most critical one was…
“…Why do I have no chest at all…”
I sighed, feeling even gloomier. Compared to that gal from earlier, I had almost no chest development.
So even if I wore such revealing clothes, I didn’t look sexy at all… It just made me look like I was in some weird costume.
On top of that, I exercise regularly for club activities… so I’ve built up a decent amount of muscle all over.
Because of that, my stomach area has some visible muscle, which isn’t exactly cute… The thought of Kuzuhara-kun seeing this not-so-cute stomach of mine is a little embarrassing…
“…Yeah, this is just… no, this is way too embarrassing…”
In short, I realized that wearing clothes like that stylish gal requires a lot of confidence in your body.
And even though I found out what might be Kuzuhara-kun’s type of outfit, I also realized that I simply didn’t have the talent to pull it off.
“…Sigh, this is just impossible for me…”
With a heavy sigh, I quickly changed out of the clothes I was trying on and back into my regular outfit.

Monday morning.
“Sigh, I don’t know…”
I sighed as I walked to school. In the end, I didn’t buy anything at the apparel shop that day and just went home right after.
“Yo, Yukimura.”
“Huh? Oh, good morning, Kuzuhara-kun.”
When I arrived at school, Kuzuhara-kun was already in the classroom. After all the worrying I did over the weekend, my head felt surprisingly clear. So today, I was able to greet Kuzuhara-kun without blushing.
(Though, honestly, I’m still bothered by what happened on Saturday…)
When I saw Kuzuhara-kun’s face again, I realized I wanted to clear up the confusion I had over the weekend. So, I decided to ask him about Saturday…
“…Uh, um, hey…”
“Hm? What’s up?”
“Oh, no, um… About last Saturday… What were you doing that day, Kuzuhara-kun?”
“Last Saturday? Well, I had work from morning until the evening, and then I went to the bookstore near the station.”
“Oh, I see. Um, actually, I was at Sasahara Station that day too, and… I thought I saw you in the evening.”
“Really? Haha, you should have come and said hi! Why didn’t you?”
“Uh, well… You seemed to be having fun talking with a woman, so… I thought if she was your girlfriend, it might be rude to interrupt…”
I finally gathered the courage to bring up what had been bothering me.
(But what if… that woman really was his girlfriend…?)
“A woman? My girlfriend? …Oh, wait, are you talking about Mayuka-san? Haha, no, she’s not someone special like that. She’s just a senior at my part-time job. Actually, she has a boyfriend.”
“…Huh? R-Really?”
“Yeah. Her boyfriend, well, his name is Kirishima-senpai, and he works at the same convenience store as me. He’s the senior I get along with the best. We always chat about his and Mayuka-san’s sweet dates during our shifts. They’re such a happy couple.”
“Oh… I-I see. I’m glad… I mean, that’s good.”
“Hm? What’s up, Yukimura?”
“Eh… Eh!? N-Nothing! Nothing at all!”
“R-Really?”
Kuzuhara-kun looked at me curiously as I let out a sigh of relief. I quickly tried to brush it off and pretend nothing was wrong.
(So, she wasn’t his girlfriend after all… Phew, I’m so relieved… Wait, why am I so relieved?)
At that moment, I wondered why I was genuinely happy about it…
“What’s wrong, Yukimura? You’ve been making a really complicated face for a while now.”
“Huh? Oh, n-no, it’s nothing! Really, don’t worry about it!”
“Really? Well, if you say so, I guess it’s fine.”
Once again, I managed to brush it off. But still, I’m acting way too weird today…
I feel like I’ve shown Kuzuhara-kun some really embarrassing sides of myself, but oh well, I’ve come this far, so I might as well keep going.
“Oh, um… Speaking of which… Can I ask you something else?”
“Hm? Sure, ask away.”
“Um, so… Do you like the kind of gal-style clothes that the woman was wearing yesterday?”
“Huh?”
I decided to stop overthinking things and just ask him directly. It’s faster to ask the person themselves when you’re curious about something.
Besides, after all the embarrassment I’ve faced today, what’s one more time? I can handle it.
“Hmm, gal-style clothes, huh? Well, I think Mayuka-san’s outfit was cute and nice, but it’s not like I love that style or anything.”
“Oh, I see. Got it… So, is there any other type of women’s fashion that you like?”
“Women’s fashion? Hmm, let me think…”
When I asked, Kuzuhara-kun folded his arms and started thinking. He seemed to be taking my question seriously.
There was a brief silence, but then Kuzuhara-kun seemed to remember something and said this:
“Oh, yeah! Do you remember that time a while back when we ran into each other at the convenience store?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah, that was… probably one of the first times we met, right?”
“Yeah, exactly. You were going to a book signing for your favorite author. I remember you were wearing this sophisticated, calm knit dress, and… I thought it suited you really well. It’s still my favorite outfit of yours.”
“Wh-What!?”
Suddenly, Kuzuhara-kun said that, and my face immediately started heating up.
“W-What are you saying!? I was asking what kind of clothes you like!”
“Huh? Well, I answered your question. I said I liked that outfit you wore back then.”
“W-Wha!?”
I was caught completely off guard, and my face kept getting redder and redder.
“H-Hey… Are you okay, Yukimura? Your face looks… kinda serious right now.”
“Huh!? I-I’m fine! Don’t worry! See, I’m back to normal now!”
“R-Really? Well, if you say so…”
I slapped my cheeks repeatedly, trying to get my face back to normal. Kuzuhara-kun probably thinks I’m a strange girl, but I decided not to care.
Well… But still…
(So, Kuzuhara-kun really thinks that outfit suited me… Haha, I’m so happy…)
My childhood friend had teased me, saying that outfit didn’t suit someone as childish as me, but… Kuzuhara-kun kept telling me how much it suited me. That made me happier than anything.
And at that moment, for some reason, my heart started feeling warmer and warmer inside.
A shocking revelation, I was using the girl from the cover when thinking about Yukimura…
Maybe this is just one of those rare times that the cover doesn’t match? Or maybe compared to the other girl, Yukimura is smaller but still on the “larger” end? Who knows
