Chapter 10: You Will Become Close to a Beautiful Girl

Kisara Sarashina’s POV

“I will let you read my palm.”

I couldn’t hide my confusion as I saw him eagerly extending his hand toward me. Of course, there was a part of me that wondered. After all the struggles I had to go through to touch him, how could he be so casual about this? However, most of my heart was occupied by his words earlier, where he told me about “love.”

For a moment, I found myself hesitating. 

Hey, Kisara… Is this really okay? Using your ability on him…?

A part of me was asking myself that question. He was the boy who rushed to me when he heard my scream, you know? He was the kind, gentle person who couldn’t just leave a lost dog to die in the street, you know? He was the first person who seriously responded to my silly, empty words, you know?

“Are you sure?”

I ended up voicing the question that had plagued my heart. 

“Well, please don’t say things like ‘You’ll die young’ or ‘You won’t be able to get married.’ Other than that, yeah, sure.”

He said something ridiculous again. 

“…”

What am I hesitating for? He didn’t even save me from the dog because I asked him to. That was something he did on his own. The ‘true love’ thing I dreamed of was just a meaningless fantasy with no chance of coming true. That’s right. My goal today is to make him fall for me. Then… Why am I hesitating now? I’m merely doing the same thing I’ve always been doing… Right. This is nothing new. Making a man fall for me is nothing new to me… Ah, but today has been a rough day… I just need to touch his hand. That’s all I need to do, but he keeps making things hard for me. Now, finally… Right. As a small token of mercy, I will take my time and grip his hand tightly so he can remember this moment in his heart as he writhes in agony. 

Steeling myself, I touched his hand. I had thought his hand would feel more slender in me. I thought his hand would feel delicate since he was so slim, but… His hand definitely felt like a man’s hand. An undoubtedly man’s hand, but his skin was so pale and his fingers were long and slender. 

The heck? This cheeky perverted bastard… If I’m scoring his hands only, his hand could be considered as a rare gem that only appears once in ten years… 

I gently stroked his smooth hand, tracing along the lines of his palm with my fingers. Of course, I couldn’t do any palm reading. I was just confirming the sensation of his hand. I could hear his breathing above me. We were so close, closer than I had imagined. Right. I was holding his hand, of course we’d be close. I felt like I could hear the rhythmic beating of his pulse through his hand…

So this is what a man’s hand feels like…

I had touched many men’s hands before, but I had forgotten this sensation. There was a time when I used to hold someone’s hand tightly while thinking about them.

What is this… This strange feeling… A man’s hand feels so warm… Just a little more… Just a little longer… I want to keep touching his hand…

“Sarashina…?”

I snapped back to reality at the sound of his voice. I had been holding his hand for quite a while.

“Huh…? A-Ah… What is it?”

“What do you mean ‘what’? So? What’s the result of your palm reading? What’s my fortune?”

Ah, that’s right. 

I had zoned out for a moment, I didn’t realize I had been touching his hand for quite a while now. Right. With this much contact, he should be madly in love with me now. But… Suddenly, I thought of him. 

He got all red in the face when he saw my underwear. He was unnecessarily athletic and quick on his feet. He rushed to me when he heard my scream. He seemed oddly good with dogs. He got genuinely angry at me, but in the end, he spoke to me kindly. He was completely different from what I had imagined… How should I say it… Today was not like usual, but it was a little bit more fun than expected. There wouldn’t be a next time, but if there was a next time, I hoped he would listen to my silly rant again. 

Thank you, Michihito-kun…

I mentally slapped myself across the cheek and steeled myself.

“Right. The result of the palm reading, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s see….”

“Yeah? Yeah?”

“It says… You will become close to a beautiful girl… That’s your fortune.”

“A beautiful girl….?”

“Yeah, that’s right. A beautiful girl.”

I said while tilting my head in a deliberately exaggerated way and smiled. 

How about it? There’s a beautiful girl right in front of you, you know? You’re getting charmed, right?

“What kind of ‘beautiful girl’ to be exact?”

“Huh?”

“And when will I meet this beautiful girl?”

“Huh?”

“By the way, my definition of a ‘beautiful girl’ is a ‘senior in a bunny girl outfit.'”

“Huh????”

It went without saying that my hand erupted into flames and went straight at his face. I started walking toward home, ignoring him as he stumbled to the street. 

The heck with this guy… Compared to when I first touched him, I had gripped his hand longer and with greater strength than before. I had never touched anyone that long and hard. And yet… He still hadn’t fallen for me yet. My ability had no effect on him. I had never met anyone like him before. 

What do you mean, “When will I meet this beautiful girl?” What do you mean, “A senior in a bunny girl outfit?” Does that mean I’m not even on his radar?! Michihito Naruse… I’m not going to hold back anymore..!! I will definitely make you say “I like Kisara-san” no matter what!!! I will make you say “I really, really, really, like you”!!

The sound of my loafers clicking on the ground seemed to echo louder than usual.
