Part 6
I was worried all day long ever since my conversation with Tsukimiya in the morning about how I wouldn’t be able to deliver my feelings to Tenshin. It was after school in the blink of an eye.
From a club member’s point of view, this was just the start of the day.
But for those of us in the “go-home club”, it was a time of relaxation. This was when we could recover from the long hours of classes by going home and relaxing.
At least that’s what I thought it was supposed to be……
I was descending the stairs when I felt a pair of eyes boring into my back.
I stopped for a moment and turned around, and when I did, I saw Tsukimiya’s figure right beside me.
For some reason, she was staring intently at me with narrowed eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m here to monitor Yuugo so that you can’t go to Tenshin Himari.”
While explaining, our eyes suddenly met.
“… !!!”
Tsukimiya’s cheeks turned bright red before she swiftly looked down.
‘’A-anyway, whatever the reason, stop following me.”
“I don’t want to!”
“What are you, a child?”
Sheesh, what childish behavior. I’ve had enough of this ……. I should leave this god alone and get the hell out of here.
And so I proceeded to move along, but soon afterward, I heard the sound of someone strolling behind me.
“Oi.”
“I-I want to spend some more time with Yuugo…”
I turned around and saw that Tsukimiya’s blue eyes were moistening.
I guess this wasn’t all about that surveillance thing?
But what should I do? Tsukimiya would not stop crying at this rate.
“…… Okay, you can follow me for a little while longer, but only up to the school gates.”
“Un, y-yeah!”
Tsukimiya smiled happily when I allowed her to stay with me until the school gate.
She looked so cute at that moment, probably because of her overwhelming good looks. I felt somewhat regretful about this. After that, as we were walking along and exchanging small talk, a curious thought occurred to me.
“Will Tsukimiya continue to use that way of speaking?”
“What way of speaking?”
“The way you refer to yourself and such. You didn’t talk like that until just now?”
(TN: Tsukimiya uses “Ore – 俺” to refer to herself. This creates an extremely rough image and is only used between people who are very close to each other. Source: https://cotoacademy.com/how-to-call-yourself-in-japanese-boku-ore-watashi/)
When I said that, Tsukimiya’s face turned pale.
I guess that’s just another thing that I shouldn’t have said.
“Aaah, I’ve blown it now. Usually, when I interact with other people, I filter my usual way of speaking to appeal to Yuugo, to show you that I was a graceful woman, but I guess I forgot…”
Though, I think the previous Tsukimiya was a quiet girl, but not a graceful woman.
“Is that so? So you were stumbling on conversations because you were stuck thinking of the words a graceful woman would say.”
“No, that’s not it. It’s just that …… I’m simply nervous when talking with other people.”
“Nervous? But we’ve never really talked much before, and now you’re fluently talking with me like this.”
“Y-you’re right… but I’m nervous as hell right now! Because if I don’t do something and it continues like this, Yuugo will be taken away by another woman. And I don’t want that!”
Tsukimiya squeezed her chest. Her cheeks were flushed red due to embarrassment.
How should I react in this kind of situation?
“I-I see…”
“…… Un.”
After that exchange, a blanket of awkwardness fell on us.
…… Please let us get to the school gate quickly.
“Yu-Yuugo. Can you please wait for a moment?”
Tsukimiya suddenly stopped in her tracks.
”Hnn? What is it?”
“That …… I forgot something in the classroom, can I go get it real fast?”
“What did you forget?”
“Gym clothes. I left the gym clothes I used today in class.”
“Gym clothes, we have gym class again tomorrow. Are you sure you’ll bring it home with you today?”
“Of course! If you don’t do the laundry, it’ll smell awful and that will be a problem.”
That’s true, but for me, I don’t bring it home until all our PE classes are done for the week. But well, since she’s a girl, it was normal to be concerned about the smell and all that.
“Get going. I’ll be waiting for you here.”
“O-okay! I’ll be right back!”
As she said that, Tsukimiya hurried back to the classroom. Honestly, you need to be in such a hurry.
………
Now, what should I do while waiting? Even though Tsukimiya would be back soon, I was a little bored.
“Huh? Yuugo-kun?”
Suddenly, my name was called from behind. Moreover, this voice– .
‘’Te-Tenshin……”
I turned to address her and saw Tenshin holding a flower pot in her hand.
“Are you on your way home?”
“Ah, yeah. More importantly, what’s that?”
I asked, indicating toward the flower pot. There was a white flower in the pot.
“When I was on my way home with my friends, I met the biology teacher and he told me to plant it in the flowerbed in the courtyard.”
“I-is that so. What happened to your friends?”
By the looks of it, no one was around Tenshin.
“Everyone seemed to have something to do, so I told them that Himari could go and take care of it.”
Tenshin explained while struggling to hold up the flower pot.
What kind of biology teacher would let a girl carry such a heavy thing?
“Hey, Tenshin. I’ll help you with that.”
“Ehh? It’s fine. It’s not a big deal. Himari can do this much”
“No, I don’t think so. I’m worried about how wobbly your smooth arms are.”
I pointed out Tenshin’s flawless arm.
“…… Yuugo-kun’s a pervert.”
She dazzled with a slight blush. What was with that reaction? It was too cute.
“And besides, I can’t let a girl like you carry something that heavy. I’ll take care of it for you.”
“…… All right. Then I’ll take you up on your offer this time.”
I took the flower pot from Tenshin.
It was much heavier than I thought it would, and I wondered if I could carry it to the courtyard.
“But it’s Himari who will plant the flowers. Yuugo-kun does seem to be hated by plants.”
“That’s terrible, Tenshin.”
It was true that I had never been able to grow flowers or anything like that properly.
Even the morning glory I received when I was in elementary school was just about to sprout but then died because I couldn’t manage it well.
“Fufu. Then, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
At Tenshin’s urging, the two of us walked towards the courtyard.
Speaking of which, what should I do about Tsukimiya? Oh well. I’ll think about it later.
‘’Alright. That should do it.”
When Tenshin and I arrived at the courtyard, we planted the flowers from the flower pot to an empty flower bed.
Of course, it was Tenshin who planted them.
”What variety is this flower?”
I asked, staring at the flowers that had just been planted.
The fact that I had never seen it before suggested that it was not as well known as rose or lavender.
“According to my biology teacher, the flower is called clematis, and it blooms in the spring. But some clematis bloom in the summer and winter, or so he said. “
“So it’s a rare flower that blooms at different times depending on the type.”
“That’s right.”
A trivial conversation with Tenshin.
But for me, this was super fun. I’d want to keep doing this forever.
“Hey, Yuugo-kun. I’m tired of planting flowers, so why don’t we take a break over there for a while?
Tenshin said while I immersed myself in bliss.
She pointed out to the bench under a large cherry blossom tree in the center of the courtyard.
“Ah, okay.”
“Well, let’s get going.”
Tenshin pushed me from the back with a smile on her face.
Please don’t do that to me all of a sudden. It’s seriously bad for my heart if you suddenly touch me. When we arrived in front of the bench, we sat next to each other with only a small distance between us.
“Do you know, Yuugo-kun.”
“What?”
“There’s a rumor that says if a man and woman sit under this cherry blossom tree they’ll become a couple.”
“Eh? I-I see.”
I replied calmly, but my heart was beating faster and faster.
I don’t remember hearing about that story. I’ve never heard of it at all.
“So now Himari and Yuugo-kun are now like couples.”
When Tenma said that while smiling at me, my heartbeat instantly skipped a beat.
What is this cuteness? If I’m not careful, I might die from heartbeat overdrive.
“C-couple…”
“Pfft, actually, it’s all a lie.”
“Ehh? I-is that so?”
“Unn. Himari just made up that story about how a man and a woman became a couple after sitting on this bench.”
Tenshin said “Tee-hee” and mischievously stuck out her tongue.
Damn. I was cheated, but I don’t hate it at all. In fact, it felt good.
“But if Yuugo-kun and Himari really do become a couple, then the story Himari made up will be a true story.”
Tenshin looked straight at me as she said that.
Well, was she teasing me? Or not….?
“Y-Yeah, I guess so.”
I don’t know if she was teasing me or not, so I’ll just return bland words for now.
“…… right.”
Tenshin’s expression clouded a bit. It must be…….
”……………”
I could be wrong, but if I’m not mistaken, this was the time to confess.
Under the full bloom cherry blossom tree. Again, the situation was perfect.
Furthermore, Tsukimiya, who has interfered with my confession in the past, was not around. In other words, I should tell her my feelings now.
If I do, my feelings will finally reach Tenma.
“…… ~yosh (psyching up)”
With a small voice to psyche myself up, I now decided to confess.
”Te, Tenshin!”
“W-what is it Yuugo-kun?”
Tenshin’s body bounced in surprise as I unintentionally called out her name in a loud voice.
I looked around, but there was no figure that looked like Tsukimiya.
It’s okay. I’m not sure if this confession will be successful… but at least my feelings will be heard. I’ll take that chance.
While motivating myself, I squeezed my tense and trembling fist and said.
“I-I love 『boobs』 !”
(TN: 俺は『おっぱい』のことが好きなんだ!, Ore wa “oppai” no koto ga sukina nda!’)
“Huh? What did I just say?”
“Oh, really?”
I looked forward and saw Tenma chuckled.
”Y-yeah, no, that’s not it. This is that…”
Oi, oi, what the hell is going on here? I clearly said I love Tenshin. So why did it come out as I love 『boobs』?
“Ah, that … Yuugo-kun. I think it’s good to love … Unn.”
“I’m telling you it’s different. I was going to say…”
“Then Himari will return the flower pot to the sensei.”
With that, Tenshin stood up and lifted the empty flower pot.
‘’Eh, wait a minute …….”
“Bye, Yuugo-kun.”
I was desperate to get her to stop, but she left quickly as if she were running away.
“…… What the hell is going on?”
Just now I thought for sure I had said “I love Tenshin”.
But the word that actually came out of my mouth was “boobs”.
I’m not sure if I’m so obsessed with “boobs” that I can say it in this situation.
“Hey, Yuugo. It seems the confession didn’t go well this time either.”
I heard a voice from nearby.
When I turned my gaze, I saw Tsukimiya appeared from the direction Tenshin had left. She was holding the magic wand.
“…… Is this your doing?”
“Of course. I can’t make Yuugo confess. By the way, I used my powers so that when Yuugo tries to call Tenshin’s name, it will be converted to 『boobs』.”
“Why did you do that to me?”
As a result, I will look like a guy who likes boobs.
“It’s because Y-Yuugo’s bad. You said you were going to wait for me, but instead you went to confess to Tenshin Himari.”
Geez … she has a point, but I’m not expecting to confess either you know.
“Hey, Tsukimiya. Why do you interfere so much with my confession?”
“I-it’s because… I love Yuuugo…”
I already heard that in the morning. But you don’t know if I’m going to succeed with my confession, right?
To be honest, I personally think that the odds of this success are about 50/50.
“But if the confession is successful, Yuugo might end up going out with Tenshin Himari.”
“If that happens, I’m sorry but you’re going to have to give it up then.”
“I can’t.”
The fulfillment of people’s love affairs. I didn’t expect the god of romantic comedy to say that.
“B-because …… I-I love Yuugo ~mon!”
“That’s…”
What’s with that cute ending? Though, It’s a bit too cheeky.
“A-anyway, I will continue to interrupt your confession from now on! So, you should give up on that woman as soon as possible and f-f-fall in love with me!”
Unilaterally declaring, Tsukimiya left the place quickly with a bright red face while I was left behind.
”……..”
Seriously. Will I be graduating from high school without being able to tell my feelings to the person I like.
My first love — Tenshin Himari. She’s the one that I fell in love with for the first time in my sixteen years of life.
Is it okay for my first love to end with such a fantasy thing that I don’t even understand? …… No, it’s definitely not good.
‘I’m going to find a way.’
I’m going to find a way to confess my feelings while preventing the power of the Tsukimiya Athena— the god of romantic comedy. It’s the only way. Otherwise, my first love would disappear without fruition or dissolution.
‘Yosh! I’ll prevent God’s power from activating and I’ll definitely confess my feelings to Tenshin!’
And with that, I made the biggest decision of my life.
Incidentally, the phenomenon of saying “boobs” when I tried to say “Tenshin” didn’t return to normal until midnight that day. For that, I’ll never forgive you Tsukimiya.
