The Blonde Saint Only Makes Strange Noises In Front Of Me, What Should I Do? - Episode 42: Courage.

Episode 42: Courage

As the time for the fireworks display approached, more and more people came, slowing our progress. Sana and I held hands as we walked, but there was no sign that we would make it to the stalls.

I checked LIME and found out that Kazuharu and Asuka had already arrived at the riverside where the stalls were set up. We, on the other hand, were still halfway there. I tightened my grip on Sana’s hand and glanced at her.

Sana was lying face down with her cheeks dyed red.

“Sana, are you okay?”

“Oh⁉ Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Does it hurt your feet or anything?”

“Yes. ..Thank you.”

Sana said this to me, but even though she was wearing a yukata, this kind of behavior would make a man look bad.

However, everyone seems to share the same truth that they want to go to the stall zone and buy food before the fireworks, and there is no sign of any progress. As I looked at my phone to see what was going on, I received a LIME call.

The caller was Asuka. The caller was Asuka, who seemed to have sent a message in a private talk, not in a group chat.

‘Why don’t you two go straight to a place where you can get a better view? There are some good spots here. I’ll tell Kazuharu the good news.’

He even politely sent us the location of the hole-in-the-wall spot. It’s quite easy to get to from where we are. Moreover, it was in the opposite direction of the crowded area.

“Hey, Sana.”

“What?”

“Are you hungry?”

“I’m not that hungry, but…?”

I can’t eat that much because I’m wearing a yukata, she added.

I see, the obi is so tight that it doesn’t give me much of an appetite.

“Well, why don’t we go somewhere else? A place where you can have a better view.”

“What? But what about Sakuma-kun and Sato-kun?”

“Leave them alone.”

“Hee⁉”

I turned to Sana, who was surprised by my sudden suggestion, and stared into her blue eyes.

“There’s a great spot near here, …..why don’t you go with me? Just the two of us.”

“Just the two of us….”

She’s blushing and her eyes are black and white. No, well her eyes are blue.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll change the way I ask you.”

I turn my gaze away from her and look at the ground. I saw her clogs and white feet.

“Do you prefer ….watching fireworks with me or with everyone?”

I gathered my courage and asked her.

Her answer will determine what I’ll do today. Will I go ahead with it, or stay where I am?

“….Kaoru-kun. That’s not fair to ask.”

As I waited nervously for a response, I received an unexpected reply. 

“Ehh?” When I looked at her in surprise, she turned her face away from me as if she was embarrassed.

“It’s …obvious. It’s obvious, but there’s no way I’d be embarrassed to tell you.”

I felt my heart pounding in my chest. It’s a painful pain, but it’s a pleasant pain.

I love her so much when she says it in a muffled voice, and it’s so cute when she glances at me and asks me how I look.

“….Let’s go”

I grabbed Sana’s hand again and looked at her, she looked up at me shyly and nodded her head.

I pulled her hand and started to leave the crowded streets. I took her hand and led her through the crowded streets to the place on the map that Asuka had sent me.
