Chapter 86: Young Lady, Beach, and Various Things

“…”

Several days had passed since then, and I found myself in a place I never thought I’d be.

I was torn until the last moment, but in the end, I couldn’t resist the temptation.

Sigh…

So this is the summer beach, huh?

There are so many people. It’s quite noisy, too. This place really isn’t for me.

Well, it can’t be helped. It is the beach, after all. I guess I’ll take off my clothes too.

Alright…

“K-Kento Mamiya, amazing…”

Yeah, the crowd is truly enormous.

In fact, I’ve been thinking since earlier that I don’t know where to look.

This is a bit…

“Hey, what do you think? How do I look today?”

Uh… well, you look…

“I guess you look good.”

“T-Thank you. You look even more handsome than usual, K-Kento Mamiya.”

“…”

Right now, standing in front of me and giving me glances in her bikini was Shibuya Arisa.

I didn’t fully understand what she was saying, but I definitely couldn’t look her in the eye.

What exactly was going on here?

Going to the beach with Shibuya-san, and in swimsuits, no less?

If it wasn’t for the autograph, I should have refused.

But that autograph…

Wait, what’s this feeling? It’s as if people are staring at us.

I can’t see well since I don’t have my glasses. Could it be just my imagination?

Darn it… why did I make such a mistake?

Buying goggles without prescription lenses. What was I thinking?

Well, it’s not like I can’t see at all. I can see things that are close, so I’ll just go with it, but man did I mess up.

But for now, I just wore those goggles on my head and put on regular swim trunks.

There shouldn’t be anything strange about that… So why?

“…”

Could it be that someone like me just doesn’t fit in at the beach, so I’m drawing attention? Are they mocking me?

“Sigh…”

If that’s the case, the beach is really the worst. I just got here, and I already want to leave.

Well, maybe it’s just my paranoia, and everyone is actually focusing on my beautiful companion.

But even so, why is she looking this way?

What is she doing?

“Wow, this is really something. So, so solid.”

Why is she touching my stomach?

And my arms?

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I just…”

Just…?

Now she’s looking down, her face flushed for some reason.

“Wow, that guy is so cool.”

“His face and body are amazing.”

“Ohh! Isn’t that the Prince?”

“Hey, go and talk to him. Go!”

“No way, he’s got a girlfriend. And she’s gorgeous, too. We can’t compete.”

“Maybe he’s not the Prince?”

“Wow, he’s just too handsome.”

What’s going on? The crowd seems to be getting noisier, but I can’t see clearly. Is there a really handsome guy with a beautiful woman around?

This is quite different from my situation…

“Sigh…”

I really shouldn’t have come here.

I know that better than anyone else, but I really wanted that autograph.

Wait, what’s wrong? For some reason, Shibuya-san next to me is extremely flushed.

Could it be sunburn?

“Next up, let’s interview this gorgeous couple! Hehe, are you high school students?”

Huh?

Before I knew it, there was a large camera in front of us.

The kind of camera I often saw when I was doing part-time work as an AD… does that mean this is for TV?

“Fufu, are you two on a date today?”

I’ve seen celebrities holding the mic before, so it must be for TV…

Wait, did they say ‘gorgeous couple’?

Is this woman trying to make a fool out of me?

And what’s this about us being a couple? That would put Shibuya-san in a bad mood. She’d probably get angry.

Look, she’s already red-faced and shaking.

Please stop, I’m afraid of what will come after.

Thinking about it, this could be bad… what if Sakaki or someone from school sees this? I’ll be made fun of again.

“No, that’s not the case. And I’d rather not be on TV.”

With that, I quickly lowered my face.

“Oh, are you affiliated with some agency?”

“No, that’s not it. I’d rather not be on TV.”

“Oh, I see. Well then, please do make an exception for us. You’re such a handsome man, and that physique! I’d love to nominate myself as your girlfriend.”

What is this woman even saying?

“No, you can’t!”

What’s with the sudden loud voice, Shibuya-san?

That startled me…

“Ehh, fufu, so it’s a no-go, huh? If you’re not on a date, then what are you doing here today? And are you sure you’re not a couple? You two look fantastic together.”

“That’s… um… well…”

What’s going on, Shibuya-san? You’re usually so straightforward, so why are you stammering and darting your eyes at me today?

It’s crucial for her to clearly state that we’re not a couple…

We’re still standing in front of the camera, you know.

This woman really is making fun of me by calling us a ‘gorgeous couple.’

Sure, she might be a beauty as she suggests, but I can’t possibly fit that description.

If this airs on TV, I’ll be the laughingstock of viewers.

Wait, is a crowd gathering behind the camera?

And are they pointing their smartphones at us?

I’m a bit confused, but… huh?

“Fufu, so it’s like that, huh? Ah, youth. If only I were a bit younger myself. But really, you two look great together. Keep it up!”

Saying that, for some reason, the woman holding the mic in front of us gently pats Shibuya-san’s shoulder.

“…”

What is this woman’s deal? Like I’ve been saying, there’s no way we’re a good match.

Look, Shibuya-san’s face is red again, and she looks furious.

Is this her style to mock people from all angles?

I really think I might get killed by Shibuya-san after this.

How are you going to take responsibility for this? What if I can’t get Kase-sensei’s autograph because of this?

I really want them to refrain from airing this on TV.

It will be truly embarrassing for both her and me.

What should I do?

Wait, what are you doing now?

Huh?

“Here, let’s connect this hand with this hand, and voilà! Fufu, don’t let go now.”

For some reason, the woman holding the microphone in front of me forcefully linked my hand with Shibuya-san’s.

Hey, seriously, what are you doing?

Wait, why won’t you let go…Shibuya-san?

Wait, seriously, why aren’t you letting go? This is bad, right?

When I turned to look at her, she was tilting her red face downward again.

Huh?

“Fufu, nothing beats the summer sea, right? Everyone should come to this beach and make summer memories just like this beautiful couple here. Now, back to the studio! Fufufu~”

“…”

“Cut!”

Wait, what?

Back to the studio?

“Fufu, thanks. Really rooting for you two.”

Saying that, the TV crew withdrew like the wind.

“No, wait a minute–”

“Bye-bye”

What?

Seriously?

But, back to the studio?

Was that live?

Everythin happened too fast; I can’t make heads or tails of it. A large camera appeared out of nowhere at the beach, and before I knew it, they were gone. My brain can’t keep up.

And, how long are you planning on holding my hand, Shibuya-san?

“Fufu, so K-Kento Mamiya and I are a couple… a couple. And we look good together…”

Saying this, she cast sidelong glances at me from next to me.

Her face is still red…

“Aren’t you angry?”

“Why would I be angry? Rather, __________.”

What? What did she say at the end? Her voice trailed off, and I couldn’t catch it.

Really, what’s going on? She’s usually so assertive, but she’s been acting weird since earlier.

What’s with that upward glance?

Our faces are close, she’s in a swimsuit, and she won’t let go of my hand…

Wait a second.

“…”
