She is Reading My Thoughts Again Today - Chapter 63

Lying Down Day

“The Halloween party was really fun.”

Kisaragi giggled as she recalls the Halloween party.

“Yeah, it was really fun.”

I immediately shook off my thought of Kisaragi in her witch outfit and pretend to be calm. Ahh it’s no use, I can’t pretend in front of her anyway, but please don’t misunderstand me, I just think that you look really cute in that witch outfit. Her eyes narrows as if to say ‘I know what you mean’.

“We talked about Kosaka’s and Hoshikawa’s past, their classes, their classmates, and all sort of other stories. I’m glad I got to know them better. I would do it again.”

“Let’s invite Mikinori next time.”

Mikinori was unfortunately unable to come because he was very busy with various things towards the end of the year. I couldn’t nod honestly because he growled in frustration and took an egg roll from my bento when I told him about what we were doing at the party. He was the first one to talk about it anyway.

“Are the egg rolls in Hokuto-san’s bento sweet?”

“Yeah, they’re sweet. But I don’t have a thing for egg rolls myself.”

“Is that so? Well, anyway…”

“Anyway?”

“Every time we pass by each other lately, Hokuto-san is overflowing with his love for me, so I want to return those feelings and show you that I really like you as well. What do you think I should do?”

“I don’t understand how you manage to say that with an almost straight face.”

In order to hide my blushing face, I quickly lay down on my desk at once. Not only I am embarrassed by my own thoughts, but she is also really adorable when such thing troubles her. But I’m more puzzled by the expression on her face. The expression on her face doesn’t show that she is troubled by it. A long, long sigh escapes my mouth.

“It really troubles me, I’m serious.”

“I see.”

When I look up at her, she is staring at me somewhat angrily. Very cute. It would probably make Kisaragi feel even more uncomfortable if I think that now. Even though it comes from my own thoughts, I can’t stop my overflowing feelings to her.

“I’m sorry.”

She doesn’t say anything and keeps staring at me. If I continue to keep looking into her eyes, I feel like I will be sucked in. I can’t let myself get sucked into her eyes.

“Okay. Let’s talk about it on our way home. It’s not something we can talk about at school after all.”

I stood up with my backpack in my hand, but she remains seated. Even there is no sign indicating she wants to get up. Instead, she lay down on her desk.

“Ahh, that’s right, I can’t stop my thoughts from flowing into your mind. All I have to do is stop saying I love you out loud.”

I take a deep sigh.

“I have probably said it a few times before, I can’t control my own thoughts.”

I kept thinking about Kisaragi while saying ‘I love you’ over and over again in my mind.

Bum.

She suddenly looks up.

“That’s not fair. I can’t tell you how I feel without saying it out loud.”

“Isn’t that normal?”

For me, the ability of reading thoughts is more unfair.

“No. For me, normal is for someone who can read other people’s thoughts. So Hokuto-san. Please go to the place where Yuma-kun went to train and learn the same ability as me.”

“But you’re a natural, I wonder how many years will it take to be able to read thoughts like you do.”

“It will be fine, Yuma-kun has acquired stronger abilities than Hokuto-san.”

That’s true. I’m a natural to inhibit Kisaragi’s ability myself, but I’m losing to him.

“…I’m not going.”

“Yeah. It’s okay, I’ll just feel embarrassed about it just for a while, so don’t worry about it.”

She stands up, pick her bag up and starts walking to the door.

“Come on, let’s go home. I will make Hokuto-san say that he likes me in words on our way home.”

She said so confidently.

“Is that so?”

I was about to sit down beside her again as she tugged at my hem. We leave the classroom while I’m being dragged by her.
