Lonely Me And The Lonely Caring Goddess - Chapter 122 - Weird Face
I Reincarnated As A Trash Prince
Chapter 122 – Weird Face
“RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT” (TN: だーるーまーさーんーがー, “Daruma-san ga koronda)
As we were climbing up the shrine stairs, we heard that voice.
I involuntarily looked at Sara-san and nodded. She probably guessed the same as me.
And just after we reach the top of the stairs.
“RED LIGHT!”
I met eyes with Todo-san, who suddenly looked our way.
Mio-chan was looking away from us, so she didn’t notice. Along with them were two boys and girls in elementary school.
Mio-chan also turned around upon noticing Todo-san’s unusual stare.
“Ah~~!!! It’s Onii-chan and Sara-oneechan!”
Looking happily, Mio-chan suddenly rushed in our direction.
With the possibility of being tackled, I braced myself for impact. But Mio-chan suddenly changed course and headed for Sara-san.
For a moment, I was worried, but Sara-san firmly caught Mio-chan and hugged her.
“Ehehe~~. Sara-oneechan.”
*Stroke, stroke*. Mio-chan nestled in place while Sara-san happily patted her head.
“Hello, Mio-chan.”
“Un~! Hello Sara-oneechan!”
The two of them became close friends.
However, I felt a little jealous for being ignored.
Is this what they call girl power?
“Hello to you too, Oniichan!”
“Yeah. Hello Mio-chan!”
For some reason, Mio-chan treated me as a tag along with Sara-san.
“Hello, Takanashi-kun, Satsukawa-senpai.”
Todo-san, who had been watching the scene for a while, greeted us.
“Hello, Todo-san.”
“Hi, Todo-san.”
While we were greeting each other with a smile, the boy playing ‘Red light, green light’ earlier sneaked up behind Todo-san.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Just when I had that thought.
“HELLOOO~~~!!!”
As he said hello, the boy flipped Todo-san’s knee-length skirt up and away.
“Kyaaa!!!”
Even if I didn’t want to look, I was involuntarily drawn to it being a man.
But good thing Todo-san was wearing spats.
*Squeeze*!!!
“Yes! Yee~shu!!!”
*Thud thud thud*
As I looked toward my side, I could see dark energy. With an unnatural smile, Sara-san has an aura covering her whole body. Do I see things correctly? And finally, she pinched my cheeks with such force.
And while holding Mio-chan with one hand!
“Kazunari-san. Isn’t it at times like these that you need to look away as a gentleman?”
“Y-yes! Y-you’re right. Sorry.”
Sara-san’s pinch was so strong that I wanted to cry.
Todo-san, who had an embarrassed face, was holding her skirt down as the boy in question quickly dashed away to the stairs.
“Come back here!!!”
And the other girl chased the boy angrily.
But why was I still being pinched?
“Kyahahaha! Onii-chan’s face is so weird!”
At least Mio-chan’s happy expression would be my salvation.
In the end, the pinching continued until Todo-san intervened.
——————————————
“I’m truly sorry!”
I bowed my head apologetically.
Sara-san is too scary.
“Y-you’re not at fault, Takanashi-kun. And besides… I was wearing it properly.”
Don’t look embarrassed while saying that! If you do, Sara-san might pinch me again!
“Satsukawa-san, I hope you forgive Takanashi-kun already. Come to think of it… you two started using each other’s first names?”
Maybe Todo-san was changing the topic that she brought up the subject matter.
The last time we met, Sara-san still called me by my last name.
“Yes, that’s correct…”
“Oya~ Welcome Sara-chan and Takanashi-kun!”
Sachie-san arrived before Sara-san could explain it to Todo-san.
Uuh… I’m getting nervous… I thought that I would be okay since I confessed in front of Mayumi-san.
“Hello, Sachie-san.”
“Hello, Grandmother.”
“Hello. Why the sudden visit, you two?”
Sara-san looked at me with eyes saying, “Should I explain to her?”.
I shook my head, and Sara-san said.
“I’m sorry, Mio-chan. Todo-san, please take care of her.”
After Sara-san entrusted Mio-chan to Todo-san, she snuggled into my arms.
Sachie-san looked surprised for a moment but nodded her head after a while.
“Ooh! So you two are! What a joyous occasion! Takanashi-san and Sara-chan!”
It’s relieving to see Sachie-san laughing heartily.
As I was about to explain, Todo-san, who noticed our position, suddenly said.
“E-eeehhh?! Was that the case? You two are!?”
I explained it to them so that the shocked Todo-san would understand.
“A-actually, I asked Sara-san to be in a relationship with me yesterday.”
“I responded to him, saying I love him too.”
Sara-san took over the explanation from me.
She couldn’t hold herself back after all.
“Well… From the first time, Sara-chan introduced Takanashi-san to me, I had a feeling that this would turn out like this. This place is not good. Let me prepare some tea, and I’ll listen to it all back at home.”
Saying so, Sachie-san went home first.
After seeing her walk away, Sara-san and I stare at each other.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Umm… that… Does it hurt?”
?
Ah! Does she mean my cheeks which she pinched earlier?
It still hurts a bit, but…
“Yeah, it still hurts a little. Why?”
“It’s beet red. Sorry, I overdid it.”
After saying that, Sara-san looked away with a remorseful face. But it’s not her fault. It’s mine.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s my fault, after all.”
She’s been pushing herself since yesterday, so I want to give back in return. Thus, I gently hugged and stroked her hair.
While doing so, Sara-san reached out to my pinched cheek and gently caressed it.
As I was feeling good, Sara-san suddenly pulled my ears closer to her mouth and whispered.
“Kazunari-san, I don’t want you looking at girls with strange eyes.”
My cheeks aren’t red anymore. It is probably crimson red.
“Marina-oneechan, I can’t see!”
“Um, the two of you. Mio-chan is here.”
We completely forgot Todo-san and Mio-chan. After that, Todo-san scolded us while covering Mio-chan’s eyes.
