When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 79: Snow White And The Honeymoon.

Snow White And The Honeymoon.

“Finally, the trip…”

After school, we each went home to change, and I stood in front of the apartment building where Himeno lived. Instead of meeting at the station, I thought it would be better to meet at her place. If there’s a beautiful girl like Himeno waiting at the station, it might attract unwanted attention, and I preferred the comfort of her home.

Dragging my suitcase, I entered the building and pressed the buzzer for Himeno’s apartment.

“I’ll be right there, so please wait,” Himeno answered the intercom. She would come down soon.

While waiting for Himeno to arrive in a few minutes, I felt incredibly nervous. Despite having slept together before, this trip had the potential to be an event where our inhibitions could easily be let loose.

In romantic comedy anime, trips often serve as events that bring the main characters closer. Considering our current status, just a step away from officially dating, this trip held the potential to push us into a romantic relationship.

However, I was torn about when to confess. Should I do it on the first day, or should I wait until the end? It was a difficult decision. Himeno seemed to be in a mood for a honeymoon, so it was highly probable that we could become a couple during this trip.

Nonetheless, deciding the right timing was tricky. Himeno would probably wait as long as necessary, but it made sense to confess while we were in Hakone. Otherwise, the purpose of the trip would be lost.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Himeno said as she approached, pulling her suitcase.

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by the thoughts running through my mind. We were about to embark on a journey with the potential to change the dynamics of our relationship.

“How does it look?”

Wearing an outfit I had picked out during our previous outing, a dress with mismatched colors, Himeno blushed as she asked for my opinion.

“It suits you.”

I had chosen it thinking it would look good on her, so there was no way it wouldn’t. However, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of confession just moments ago, making it difficult to look at her directly.

“What do you think after seeing me properly?”

She gripped my hand tightly.

I felt that she wanted me to appreciate her efforts after dressing up for the trip.

“You look stunning.”

Suppressing my embarrassment, I gazed at Himeno and sincerely conveyed my impression.

She seemed even more beautiful than when an anime heroine wore a similar outfit.

“Ready for our honeymoon in Hakone?” I asked with a smile.

“Y-yes…” she replied, her cheeks still flushed.

While enduring the playful teasing from Tsukasa, we left the classroom hand in hand.

“Thank you very much.”

She was always cute, but today’s Himeno was several times cuter than usual. Perhaps because this trip was going to be something special—a journey to become real lovers.

Knowing that this trip was a step toward becoming an official couple, Himeno had likely put extra effort into looking good.

“But, you’re so cute that it worries me.”

“Worries? Why?”

“You’re so cute that you might get hit on.”

I could confidently predict that she would attract attention and advances with her current level of cuteness.

“Then, Taka-kun, please don’t leave my side.”

“I will not.”

The concern was not only about unwanted attention but also because I genuinely wanted to stay by her side. If I stayed close, the chances of others approaching her would decrease, but more importantly, being together made us both happy.

“I don’t want to be separated,” she said, looking adorable.

It was a valid concern, and it wasn’t just about avoiding unwanted advances. I, too, had no intention of leaving her side. It was a mutual sentiment.

“Then, let’s stay together.”

With a sweet smile, Himeno seemed genuinely committed to not being apart.

“Shall we go soon? We need to catch the train.”

“Yes.”

Walking hand in hand, like a couple in love, we headed towards the station.
