When I Shouted That I Wanted a Girlfriend, For Some Reason, I Ended Up Going Out with the Most Beautiful Girl in School - Chapter 8 - The Two of Us on the Way Home

Chapter 8 – The Two of Us on the Way Home

After helping the student council, I was going home with Yozora-senpai.

I was asked a lot of questions in the student council, as well as after school. It seems that the relationship between me and senpai is attracting a lot of attention in the school.

“Well, I’m relieved to hear that you’re not being criticized as much as I thought you would be.”

“Yeah, I’m surprised about that too.”

“…I don’t really like to put it this way, but it means that people think of you as my equal. In fact, you were the big shot, but anyway, it’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

“Good thing… Yes. I think so.”

It’s nice to know that the atmosphere of recognition within the school is as Yozora-senpai said. This probably won’t cause any trouble.

Atmosphere is very important. It makes people drift away. In other words, nothing should happen now.

“Well, Soichi. Since we’re going home together, why don’t we do something a bit more lover-like?”

“Lover-like? Like what?”

“…How about holding hands?”

“Holding hands, huh…”

I was a little nervous at Yozora-senpai’s suggestion.

I was thrilled when we held hands on our way out of the classroom. After all, holding hands with the opposite sex is a big thing for me.

But if you’re in a relationship, it’s normal. So I should be brave and take the offer.

“I-I’ll take you up on the offer…”

“Yes, here you go…”

“Excuse me.”

After asking permission, I hold Yozora-senpai’s hand.

She had the same hand like mine, but her hand felt so different from mine. Hers was soft and warm and throbbing.

“H-Hmm…”

“Erm… Shall we start walking again?”

“Ah, yeah. I wonder what we’re doing…”

I stopped in my tracks, perhaps because I was nervous. But it was the same for Yozora-senpai. She naturally stopped too.

Anyway, we started walking again. But we’re both nervous. There’s no doubt about that.

“Ah, that’s right! Do you have any plans for this weekend?”

“No, not particularly.”

“Then let’s go somewhere together. It’s what they call a date.”

“A-A date?”

I was quite startled by Yozora-senpai’s words.

But when you think about it calmly, it’s not so strange. Yozora-senpai and I are in a relationship, so of course we’re going to have a date.

However, going on a date with a girl is also a pretty big deal for me. That’s why I got startled, I couldn’t keep my composure.

“O-Of course, as for me, I’m happy to do it, but…are you sure?”

“Of course I am. That’s why I’m proposing it.”

“Ah, yes. I’m sorry, I got a bit carried away.”

“No, it’s fine. It’s nothing to apologize for.”

I’m kind of looking forward to this holiday. It’s going to be fun. But where will we go?

“Do you have a destination in mind?”

“I’ve sort of made up my mind. But if you have something in mind, I’d like to hear it.”

“Something in mind? No, not really… But when I think of a date, an aquarium comes to mind.”

“Whoa…”

Yozora-senpai looked surprised at my words.

With that kind of reaction, does that mean that the destination she decided was the aquarium?

“I didn’t expect our thoughts to match… Apparently, we’re a good match.”

“T-That may be so…”

“Do you like the aquarium?”

“Well, I don’t hate it. But it’s not that I like it. I haven’t been there for a long time now…”

“Hmm, it’s the same for me. I just thought the aquarium would be a good place for a date. It’s strange. I’m usually not that interested in places like that.”

“Well, it’s a classic spot for a date, isn’t it?”

It seems that both me and Yozora-senpai simply thought of major places when we heard the word “date”. If that’s the case, it’s not that strange that our thoughts coincide with each other, is it?

It’s a bit disappointing for me. I was happy when I found out that we were compatible with each other, but now I’m not so sure if I should be happy or not.

“Well, that’s the way it is. Anyway, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Me too.”

At any rate, I’ve got a date with Yozora-senpai.

I’ll do my best so that I can show my good side. Thinking of this, I continued my walk with Yozora-senpai.
