Traveling With a Beautiful Girl

“Seriously!?”

I screamed and ran at the same time.

I jumped on Nanase’s body and hugged her.

“Kyaaa…”

A short scream, an ear-shattering sound of wheels, and a soft, sweet smell.

My vision wobbled.

“Gue~.”

A squashed-like frog voice.

The train came to a complete stop and the doors opened. Pu~

Fortunately, it was late at night and there weren’t many people getting off the train.

Although the piercing stares were painful, no one stuck their nose into the unusual sight of a man and a woman lying on the platform embracing each other.

“You guys!”

However, it was not over.

I saw a station attendant running towards us.

This situation is hopeless.

From outside, it looked like a boy forcefully hugged and pinned her down, which was quite a spectacle.

The process of questioning and contacting our parents came to mind.

Blood quickly drained from my veins.

“…will you just let go of me?”

After that, a rebuking voice came from beneath me.

Blood drained from my veins and I froze seeing Nanase’s penetrating gaze.

“Oh, sorry!!”

As I hurriedly pulled myself away from her, Nanase stood up quickly and dusted off her blazer.

She reacted like she only fell a little.

“Hey, are you guys okay?” The station attendant asked.

Like a blooming flower, Nanase smiled and replied to the station attendant.

“I’m sorry, I was a little spaced out and my friend tried to support me… and then we both fell down.”

“Ye, yeah? Is that so?”

The station attendant’s gaze fell on me.

Nanase’s mouth moved, indicating “Match with me”.

“Y, yes! She is my classmate and was at risk of falling down and hurting herself, that’s why…” I said.

“I’m fine now. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

Nanase followed up after my stammering and bowed in a polite manner.

“Ahh, I see… It’s late at night, be careful on your way home”

The conductor returned to check the condition of the train. Then, the doors closed and the train drove away.

The difficult part was over, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

“So, what’s this all about?”

It wasn’t over.

The cheerful atmosphere from a few minutes ago had suddenly changed.

Nanase’s face had a look of maximum wariness.

“Ahh, no, umm…”

Oof.

Here comes my communication disorder.

Thinking calmly, the person I was talking to now was a beautiful girl who was the most popular girl in her grade.

Normally, she would not be someone with whom I, a low caste student in the class, would be able to exchange words.

The shame of hugging her like that also added on to my communication disorder.

“Don’t tell me, you pushed me down because of your lust?”

“No, no, wait, wait! That’s a misunderstanding!”

Nanase’s face was like that of someone five seconds away from calling 110, so I hurriedly explained myself.

“I just thought that maybe Nanase-san was going to jump in front of the train….”

“Jump in front…?”

Nanase’s eyes widened.

“Did it look… like that to you?” She asked.

“Uh, yeah….”

Hey, this reaction… Did I misunderstand, by any chance?

The worst possibility emerged. Thinking about it calmly.

The girl named Nanase Ryoho was a perfect human being, blessed with good looks, ability, and social status.

Would she, in such a SSR state of life, throw her life away? Normally, NO.

(T/N: SSR means Super super rare category of characters that you normally see in gacha games. They are super hard to get and usually have their rate of getting them below 1 percent)

(Oh no… Why did I do this?)

It was a bad habit of mine to make assumptions and act on impulse.

I had failed many times because of this habit.

The only way to ask for forgiveness was to get down on my knees and kneel my head so hard that it dug into the platform…!

“It got tiresome.” She said,

“What?”

Thinking, Nananse continued.

“Living became too much trouble, So I decided… to give it a rest.”

I knew she was planning to die!

“You can’t die!” I screamed.

The words came out of reflex.
