I Started Dating Someone By Taking Advantage Of Her Weakness, But I Was Actually Dating Her Mother - Chapter 61-62: Third Date (Part 2&3)

“I took money from Kaneda-kun before, didn’t I? I was flustered at the time and ended up doing something like extortion. I really wanted to return it today, but due to various circumstances I couldn’t bring it. I’ll return it at school tomorrow, so I’m really sorry.”

(Otowa, Mom has fulfilled her obligation. Now it’s your turn to do your best.)

Yoriko apologized for Otowa taking money from Jin and set the stage to make it easier for her to return it.

“That was, well… I was also at fault, so you can keep it.”

“I thought Kaneda-kun would say that, but I also had shortcomings, so I can’t accept it.”

Jin said the money didn’t need to be returned, but since Otowa said she would return it, as a mother, Yoriko had to convey the intention to return it.

“If Tsukimizato-san feels that strongly about it, I understand. But I was really looking forward to meeting today, so you don’t need to hold back.”

“I understand. I was also really looking forward to meeting you.”

Jin accepted Yoriko’s strong will. However, he made a request to Yoriko in advance not to interfere with the money he would spend on today’s date.

“Then, let’s not waste time, so shall we move?”

“Yes. By the way, walking to the amusement park from here is impossible, right? Which route will we take?”

Jin suggested moving to their destination, the amusement park. To get to the amusement park, they would need to travel by train or bus from the station. Yoriko asked Jin which route they would take.

“Well, how about a taxi?”

“Huh?”

(Wait, do you know how much a taxi would cost? Oh no, no, no, I just promised not to interfere.)

Yoriko was surprised by Jin’s unexpected suggestion.

“I’m sorry. I promised not to interfere, but please let’s take the train.”

“I thought the trains and buses might be crowded since it’s a holiday, but if Tsukimizato-san prefers the train, that’s fine with me.”

Yoriko couldn’t help thinking about the taxi fare and felt too scared to ride one. When she suggested traveling by train instead, Jin accepted her proposal.

“Then, let’s head to the station.”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

Jin and Yoriko naturally held hands and moved toward the station to catch the train.

“It’ll come in 3 minutes.”

“Yes. Oh, it just left the previous station.”

After purchasing tickets, Jin and Yoriko were waiting for the train on the platform. The information board hanging from the ceiling displayed the destination and departure time, and below it showed a display indicating that the train had departed from the previous station.

“The train has arrived, but there are really a lot of passengers.”

About three minutes passed, and the train entered the platform on time. The inside of the car was quite crowded, and they would have to squeeze in a bit to board.

“Tsukimizato-san, are you okay? If it seems too difficult, we can take the next train?”

“Even if we wait for the next one, it might be just as crowded. We’ll be late, so let’s just get on.”

Jin suggested using the next train to Yoriko, but Yoriko judged that the next one might also be just as crowded. Considering they would arrive late in that case as well, it would be better to board now even if it was a bit cramped.

“Are you okay, Tsukimizato-san?” 

“Yes, somehow. When was the last time I rode a packed train like this? Squish…”

The train that Jin and Yoriko had boarded was extremely crowded. Jin positioned himself to shield Yoriko from the cramped conditions, moving her toward the door side and positioning himself protectively in front of her. 

While Jin was being careful not to get crushed by the other passengers, he couldn’t resist the train’s swaying, and each time other passengers pushed against his back, he ended up pressed closely against Yoriko.

(Every time I touch Tsukimizato-san, I feel the soft sensation of various parts of her body. I have to endure this, I have to endure this…)

Jin was trying to maintain his composure, but he was desperately struggling to endure the soft sensations he felt each time his body touched Yoriko’s.

“There will be significant swaying ahead. Please be careful.”

Screech, screech, screech, screech.

After the conductor’s announcement, a sound like metal scraping against metal could be heard from beneath the floor, and the train swayed greatly.

“Whoa!”

(I can’t support myself…)

The other passengers swayed greatly with the motion, and Jin couldn’t resist the movement as he was pushed hard from behind. Naturally, he ended up pressed forcefully against Yoriko, who was in front of him.

“Kyah!” 

“S-sorry!”

Pushed by the surrounding passengers, Jin and Yoriko ended up in an embrace-like position.

(Hah, hah, it’s the scent of a young man. I might start having improper feelings…)

When Yoriko’s nose pressed against Jin’s body, his scent entered directly into her nostrils, and she was on the verge of having improper thoughts.

“Kaneda-kun…” 

“A-are you okay? Tsukimizato-san?”

Yoriko, whose eyes had become dreamy, had unconsciously called Jin’s name. Seeing this, Jin thought she had become unwell and called her name with concern.

“I-I’m fine. Is it okay if we stay like this a little longer?” 

“I’m being pushed from behind, so it seems I don’t have a choice. Ugh…” 

“Mmph…”

Yoriko told Jin that she wanted to stay like this a little longer, but an irresistible force was applied to Jin’s back, and he couldn’t do anything about it, so he ended up pushing Yoriko even further against the door.

“Hah, hah, we finally arrived.”

“I’m sorry for suggesting we take the train.”

Somehow, Jin and Yoriko arrived at their destination station while remaining pressed together. Even though they had only traveled by train, both of them looked completely exhausted when they got off.

“Dad, Mom, hurry, hurry!” 

“Yes, yes, the amusement park isn’t going to run away.”

As Jin and Yoriko were catching their breath, a family with a small boy passed in front of them.

“They were on that same train and they look perfectly fine.” 

“Y-yes, they do.”

The family appeared to have been on the same train. Since their destination seemed to be the same, Yoriko and Jin couldn’t help but smile wryly seeing them walking with completely untroubled faces.

“Well, let’s pull ourselves together and get going too.” 

“Yes. It’s crowded, so we need to be careful not to get separated.”

Jin and Yoriko held hands and left the station, heading toward the amusement park.
