The Charm of the Popular Beautiful Succubus in Class Doesn't Work on Me ~ For Some Reason, This Beauty Keeps Trying to Hold My Hand ~ - 30

Chapter 30: Call Me ‘Kisara’

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Oi, shouldn’t you have said that line just now before we left the school?”

After the embarrassing exchange from earlier, I continued discussing our ‘pretend lovers’ strategy. 

“Shut up. I only said it just now because the mood was right. That’s all. Don’t you dare think that was my real feelings, okay?”

“Good grief. Your personality is terrible.”

“Huh?! You were the one who blushed when I asked you to go out with me! You were probably mesmerized by my beauty.”

“You were just as red as an octopus, weren’t you? I must’ve looked like a prince to you.”

“Who would mistake a rotten delinquent like you for a prince? Have you ever looked at your own face in a mirror?”

“Thanks to you giving me this cool hairstyle, I get to look at myself looking all proper and dashing every day~”

“Ugh… Do you even know how much of an honor it is to be dating Kisara-chan, the idol of our class? Get a grip.”

“We’re pretending to be lovers. We’re not actually dating though.”

Well, because we kept bickering like this, our conversation was going nowhere. Somehow, both Sarashina and I had left the swings and ended up sitting together on a bench in the park.

“By the way, how exactly are we supposed to ‘pretend to be lovers’?”

“Huh? That’s something that you need to figure out as my ‘boyfriend.'”

“There’s no way I can know what to do. For your information, I’m a virgin and I have never had a girlfriend before. My age equals my lack of experience.”

“This is my first time too.”

“…Huh?”

My apologies. I’m afraid I didn’t quite catch that. Your first time…? First time at what…?

“I’m telling you! You’re my first boyfriend, idiot! Don’t make me say that out loud!”

Sarashina’s neck, which had already turned red, flushed even deeper shade of red as she glared at me intensely. 

Wait… Sarashina never had a boyfriend before…?

I had always assumed a beautiful girl like her, who received confession almost daily, would have plenty of dating experience. So, all those times I made her blush like crazy weren’t just because she was embarrassed, but because she wasn’t used to being around guys?

“Umm… You’re making me feel pressured if you put it like that…”

“I already told you, didn’t I? There’s no going back.”

“Well, yeah, but…”

“If you’re going to do it then you better do it perfectly until the end!”

“…Perfectly…?”

“Ugh! You’re so dense! We need to show how lovey-dovey we are so no one would doubt us! If we don’t, those guys who suspected our relationship might start hitting on me again!”

Sarashina, her ears now even redder, yelled out as if she was venting her heart out. Setting aside her somewhat desperate attitude and the awkward choice of word (lovey-dovey), Sarashina actually had a point. If we could become the perfect “pretend lovers,” no one in our class would doubt us and those guys who liked  her would eventually give up on her. 

“I understand. Sarashina, don’t fall for my perfect ‘boyfriend’ act, okay?”

“Okay, you receive minus one point for that. You will need to pay a fine of 10.000 yen~”

“…Huh?”

“Call me ‘Kisara.'”

“…Huh?”

“You already called me that before, didn’t you? You called me ‘Kisara’ in front of everyone.”

With that, Sarashina  puffed her cheeks up, looking clearly displeased. 

“…That was just in the heat of the moment… Or something.”

“No couple calls each other by their last names anyway. If you keep calling me by my last name, people will realize we’re faking it.”

“You see, I have a condition where I’ll die if I call a girl by her first name.”

“If you keep telling me a lie, your nose will grow.”

“Now that I think about it… Sarashina, you’ve been calling me ‘Michihito-kun’ for quite a while.”

“…”

At that, Sarashina turned her face away, as if she was sulking.

“Oi, Sarashina?”

“…..”

“Kisara-san…?”

“….”

“Ki… Kisara.”

“What is it?~”

At that, Kisara turned her head toward me with a beaming smile. 

You… I won’t forget this…

Calling someone by their first name was way more embarrassing than you would probably think, especially when it was someone you only ever addressed by their last name. Somehow, my back felt kinda itchy now. 

“What about you, Kisara? Aren’t you going to change how you call me?”

“Huh? What? Could it be that you want me to call you ‘Michihito’?”

Kisara leaned in, teasing me with a playful look on her face and while tapping her finger to her lips, as if she was seriously pondering it. 

“…Not really.”

“Hmm~ Well, if Michihito-kun can grow closer to the perfect ‘boyfriend,’ then maybe I will start calling you ‘Michihito’.”

Kisara laughed heartily, holding her stomach as she giggled. 

You might think you’re just teasing me, but my heart is seriously pounding like crazy, you know? Seriously, I won’t forget this. I will make you pay someday. Also, with that posture of yours, your ample chest is getting really emphasized, you know? You really need to tone it down a bit. 

Lately, she had been throwing in cute little gestures here and there. It really threw me off my balance. If only she could keep that adorableness only to her face… I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face if she acted adorable like this. 

“Then, how about you come up with a date plan as the first step of being my ‘boyfriend’?”

A date plan, huh… What kind of plan could satisfy this selfish princess? I remember there was something like that in one of the light novels I read…

“Then, how about if we go to school together?”

“Huh?”

“I mean….”

“Why are you acting like you’ve come up with a brilliant idea? You’re really a virgin, huh? Do you think going to school together will change anything after we go this far?”

“Well, if you put it that way, I guess….”

“Hm~ You’re leaving me with no choice~”

With that, Kisara placed her finger on her chin and started thinking deeply. 

“Then, how about we have lunch together first?”
