You're the god of rom-com but you're interfering with my romantic comedy life? - 17 - Chapter 5 Part 1

TL: Xean

ED: Chochocobo

TN: Illustrations incoming on the next part… Who might that be?

Golden Week had arrived.

After exchanging emails with all the girls beforehand (I had already exchanged emails with Chitose when we were freshmen), we decided to meet at 『Animal Highland Park』 instead of meeting at the station since it would be easier to meet at the park given that we were coming from different places.

So I got off the train alone at the nearest station, walked for a few minutes, and finally arrived at 『Animal Highland Park』……

“Ah, Yuugo-kun.”

I neared the entrance to the park when Tenshin greeted me while waving a small hand towards me

Oops. I wanted to arrive earlier than Tenshin, but the train got delayed and I ended up arriving much later.

“I’m sorry. Did I make you wait?”

“No, I just got here.”

Tenshin flashed a lovely smile at me. Gufu… now’s not the time. She’s too cute.

“That’s good to hear…… So, where are the other two? Did they arrive?”

I changed the topic to disguise the increasing pounding of the heart.

“That’s right. They haven’t come yet.”

“I-I see. ……”

I arrived less than five minutes before the meeting time.

“By the way, Tenshin. That dress suits you.”

“Tsu!   I-is that so?”

Perhaps embarrassed by the compliment, Tenshin’s blushing face complimented the softness of her clothes…… She was wearing a soft tunic and had tied her hair up in  short buns. It was a very suitable outfit for such a cute girl.

“Aah. It looks great on you.”

“T-thank you……”

Tenshin said while looking down, probably due to embarrassment.

I’ve been complimenting her without hesitation for a while now, but I’m really dying of embarrassment inside.

“Good morning.”

I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

It was Chitose.

“You barely made it on time.”

“Yep, I made it just in time.”

“I’ve heard from the PE teacher that the unspoken rule for athletic teams is to meet thirty minutes early.”

“I don’t go to the field until five minutes before practice time, even for club activities.”

Chitose said, chuckling with confidence. You should not be proud of that.

“Good morning, Himari-chan.”

“Good morning, Chitose. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

The two beautiful girls greeted each other.

“I haven’t talked much with Chitose since we moved up to the next grade, right?”

“That’s right. Since my classroom and Himari-chan’s classroom are too far apart.”

Mine and Tenma’s class is located at the far end of the hall from Chitose’s class.

“Your clothes are cute, Himari-chan. You really put a lot of effort into it.”

“D-do you think so? I-I don’t think so…”

“It’s the truth. Right? Yuugo.”

“Eh, ah, ahh. Yes, that’s right.”

What? Don’t push it to me out of the blue. You scared the hell out of me.

“Actually, I already complimented her …… looks earlier.”

“So Yuugo was already flirting with Himari-chan without me, his closest friend.…That’s not very nice.”

“You, what are you talking about……?”

I replied to Chitose’s words.

“But I think Chitose-chan’s outfit is a lot cuter than Himari’s.”

“What? Do you think so?”

“Yeah!”

“Ehehe, I’m flattered.”

She scratched her head and looked embarrassed, then Chitose glanced at me.

“Then what do you think of my appearance today, Yuugo?”

“What do I think… isn’t it good?”

Chitose wore men’s clothes very well and still looked cute. Coupled together with her good looks, she could have been in a magazine or something.

Did you fall for me?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“I wish you wouldn’t answer so quickly.”

Chitose smiled bitterly. I don’t see how I could fall in love with anyone other than Tenshin.

Then the three of us held a nice conversation for more than ten minutes before the last one finally arrived.

“I’m sorry. I’m late.”

It was Tsukimiya who came running from the distance.

Every time she took a step closer to me, her bouncy part swayed greatly. Also, the stares of the men around her were glued to her. …… It seems that all men think alike.

“Sorry, Yuugo.”

Tsukimiya apologized with her hands on her knees, panting for breath.

“I don’t mind, but if you’re going to apologize, please do the same for the other two.”

When I pointed this out, Tsukimiya moaned, “Ugh ……”.

No, what’s with that?

“For being late…… I’m sorry…….”

Tsukimiya reluctantly apologized to Tenshin and Chitose.

“It’s okay.” “I don’t mind at all either.” were the responses the other two gave with a smile.

Well, they were both very kind and wouldn’t get angry over something like this.

“Did you oversleep?”

“No, I did not. I was late because I was picking out clothes with my little sister that …… would make Yuugo think I was cute.”

Tsukimiya explained while fiddling with her hands.

In situations like this, shouldn’t the part where you mention your little sister be hidden?

“Wh-what do you think?….. Is my dress cute?”

Tsukimiya asked in a slightly tense voice, staring at me.

She was wearing a cute blouse and a frilly skirt.

“Well, yeah, I guess. I think it’s cute.”

“I-I see …… I’m happy to hear it.”

With her face down, Tsukinomiya lips curved into a relieved smile.

You’re making me embarrassed too by acting like that.

“Himari also thinks Athena-chan’s outfit is cute too.”

“Yeah. I think so too. If I were a man, I’d be in love with you.”

The two of them praised Tsukimiya’s clothes. Really, the both of them were so kind.

However, Chitose, who usually wore men’s uniform, was very strange.

I said to the other three, “Well, I guess it’s time to go inside the park.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

I was a little nervous when I heard Tenshin say something back.

Then I suddenly became curious about the other two and glanced at them.

“Tsukimiya-san, what do you want to ride today?”

“N-nothing in particular. Also, don’t bother me.”

“Eeh, why? Let’s get to know each other.”

“I don’t want to get along with you.”

“Don’t say that. Okay? ”

The two of them were having a fun conversation…… or not.

To be honest, I was worried about them because they were the least involved between the four of us, but they seemed to be surprisingly compatible. I’m glad. Now I can proceed with the mission without a hitch.

And today, I’m definitely going to confess my feelings to Tenshin.

When we entered the park, there were a lot of people there, probably because it was Golden Week.

There were student couples, families with children, and happy couples and so on…….

After discussing which attraction to ride first, we finally decided to ride the roller coaster that seemed to have the longest wait time……

“The first one and already the worst. This sucks.” I muttered to myself as I stood in the long line.

To be honest, it’s not that I’m not good at shouting. What exactly am I not good at?

The speed, the height, and the feeling of being sick to my stomach. I don’t like them at all. That’s why I haven’t been on a roller coaster since I was in elementary school.

“Himari, I’m really looking forward to riding with you on this roller coaster.”

“That’s right. Are you okay with this kind of thing Himari-chan?”

“It’s not that I’m good at it, but this is a roller coaster modeled after a cute snake, so I’m looking forward to it.”

Tenshin smiled and told Chitose.

That’s right. In Animal Highland Park, all the attractions are modeled after animals, the roller coasters were no exception.

As Tenshin just said, the roller coaster here was modeled after a snake, and for some reason, the maximum speed was over 120 kilometers per hour.

Where in the world can you find a snake that can move at such a high speed……

“Huh? Yuugo, you haven’t talked at all since a while ago, are you afraid of roller coasters?”

When she looked at me, Chitose grinned and said in a teasing tone.

“Is that right?”

When she heard those words, Tenshin had a worried look on her face.

To be honest, I wanted to say out loud that I didn’t like it and didn’t want to ride it, but I didn’t want to look uncool in front of the person I loved.

“That’s not the case. I’m really good at roller coasters.”

“Is that really true?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

Chitose was still suspicious of me, but I told her firmly.

Then Tenshin, who was standing beside Chitose, breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hmm. Then, what about Tsukimiya-san? You haven’t talked at all since a while ago, have you?”

Hearing this, I turned to Tsukimiya, who was half hidden behind my back, perhaps still feeling shy. But she seemed quite calm.

“I-I’m n-not afraid at all. Th-that’s j-just l-like a child’s play.”

She pointed her finger at the roller coaster and said confidently, even though she was stuttering.

It seems that Tsukinomiya was not necessarily bad at roller coasters after all.

I suddenly looked down and saw her knees trembling.

“…………”

…… Did she have to lie like this all the time?

It goes without saying what happened to Tsukimiya and me when we rode the roller coaster afterwards.

“I still feel sick……”

Sure enough, I started to feel sick after the rollercoaster ride.

I moved over to a coffee shop located in the park and rested for a while, but my eyes were still spinning, and my ear canals felt like they were going crazy. To top it all off, I was nursing a headache.

I didn’t stop wondering when the snake would come to a stop. It made five revolutions in one lap, and let me tell you, snakes don’t move like that. This rollercoaster was also insanely fast. It might’ve even exceeded 120 kilometers per hour.

“Yuugo-kun, are you okay?”

While I couldn’t stop myself from complaining, Tenshin, who was sitting next to me, called out to me with concern.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that Yuugo-kun really don’t like roller coasters.”

“There’s nothing to apologize for. I said I could ride it myself, and I did.”

“B-but ……”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Even after I said that, Tenshin’s expression didn’t clear up. She was really a very kind girl.

“That’s right, Himari. Yuugo is not a man who can’t handle something like this.”

Chitose, who was sitting in front of me, said that with a light smile on her face. You should be a little more worried. Are you really my friend?
