My Beautiful Childhood Friend who I've Loved Since I was Little was Stolen from Me, Then a Pure Gal Comforted Me - Chapter 4

My First Date was Led by a Gentle and Pure Gal…

Until recently, I usually stay at my home and didn’t go anywhere on my day off.

I usually just spend my day off in my room while browsing around the internet, playing games, and reading mangas.

I’ve been living such a dull and plain life for a long time.

But now, I…

“…Ughh.”

It’s been a long time since I’m out on the streets interacting with people. It feels kind of scary.

The dull and timid me just wish that I can return to my own world where there is just peace and no harm.

“—Jiro!”

A cheerful voice came from behind. When I hear her voice, it’s as if all my worries are now all gone.

I turn around.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Until now, I had only seen her in her uniform.

This is the first time I see Suyama-san in her usual clothes. She is very cute.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“Ah, no…as expected of Suyama-san, you are really fashionable.”

“Well of course~”

“On the other hand, I…sorry.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry about that. What’s important is what’s inside. You look so cute in that T-shirt.”

“C-Cute…I think Suyama-san is the one who’s cute here…”

“Really? I’m very happy to hear that.”

Suyama-san comes closer to my face.

“Eh, what?”

“It’s okay, I’m here with you.”

“Eh?”

“Shall we go now?”

Suyama-san pulls my hand.

“Let’s hang around.”

“Y-Yeah.”

As a man, I feel pathetic.

I can’t even lead her on our date.

Suyama-san pulls my hand and we started walking around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while hanging around with Suyama-san, it’s now almost noon. We haven’t eaten anything yet.

“Jiro, what do you want to have for lunch?”

“Eh? What about you, Suyama-san?”

Oh no, I answered her question with another question.

“Umm…”

Suyama-san has her index finger on her lips while she looks around.

“Ah…this place seems nice.”

I follow her gaze.

And I see…

“…ramen shop?”

“Jiro, do you like ramen?”

“W-Well, I usually like them…what about Suyama-san?”

“I love ramen, I usually eat here with my friends.”

“Eh, is that so.”

“I usually go here about three or four times a week after school.”

“A-Amazing…”

“This ramen shop made me fat.”

“Eh, not at all, you got a nice belly and…”

“Not there, here ♡”

Suyama-san said so while pointing at her ample breasts.

“Ah…”

I’m at loss for words.

“Jiro♡”

Suyama-san hugs my arm.

I can feel her huge ‘mountains’ between my arm.

“Shall we go?”

“Y-Yeah…”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Welcome!”

The ramen shop is filled with energetic voices.

“I haven’t been to a ramen shop in a while.”

“Is that so? You don’t often eat ramen with your friends?”

“No I don’t. I don’t have any friends. The only friend I have is my childhood friend, Shiori-cha—”

As I’m about to finish my words, my chest hurts.

“Hyah!”

Suddenly, a cold thing touched my cheek.

“Don’t give me that look.”

Suyama-san says so with a gentle smile on her face.

She was holding a cold glass of water against my cheek.

“S-Sorry.”

“No need to apologize. So, what do you want to eat?”

“What do you recommend, Suyama-san?”

“I like strong and thick broth ramens. It’s my favourite.”

“Is that so. I thought girls usually like light broth ramens…”

“No, no, it’s just your own image of girls eating ramen.”

“T-That’s right, I’m sorry.”

“I like thick and strong stuffs…I always crave for it…”

Suyama-san must be talking about ramen…right?

But she is looking at me with a grin on her face…why does it make my heart beat so fast?

“Well…I have a thick one.”

“Eh, are you making dirty jokes?”

“Eh, what? I’m sorry!”

“Pftt, hahaha, just kidding. Jiro is really cute, isn’t he?”

“I-I’m pathetic.”

“Cute♡”

“B-But, to be called cute as a man…isn’t it pathetic?”

“That’s not true. Rather, Oraora fashion is less popular these days.”

(TN: Oraora is a fashion style that is popular among gals in japan)

“Is that so? I thought a gal like Suyama-san would definitely like that kind of people.”

“Jiro.”

Suyama-san’s eyes suddenly became serious.

I let out a dry laugh.

Oh no, did I say something wrong?

“S-Sorry…”

“…right now, the only person I like is…Jiro alone, okay?”

Then Suyama-san smiles gently again.

“I like Jiro as the way he is.”

My heart throbs.

“…t-thank you.”

I end up hiding my face in the menu.

“I’ll call the waiter.”

Suyama-san even orders for me.

Really, I feel pathetic.

“After we’re done eating ramen, let’s go look at some clothes.”

“Y-Yeah.”

“I’ll choose a cute one that will suit Jiro very well.”

I feel like I’m being spoiled by this gentle gal, Suyama-san.
