Chapter 161: Could it be? So Obvious
(Bonus chapter 2/3 By atacostand. Thank you so much!)
Whats whats going on!? How did you come up with such perceptive lines!? I mean, it was early in the morning on the way to school, so there was no one around!
Wa-wait, wait! What on earth are you talking about!?
Ah judging by this reaction, I guess you really didnt know.
It seems so Honestly, its hard to believe.
Faced with my attempts to figure out what they were onto, Fudehashi and Ginji let out bewildered voices.
But seriously! Why are you all so sure about this!?
Well, you see, when we met Haruka in the morning, we were all so caught up in welcoming her return that we didnt notice anything.
But once we calmed down a bit, it was pretty obvious that something was going on with you two.
We were already close before, but today, its like you two wanted to be as close as possible whenever you talked.
Remember when you both went to get juice from the vending machine? Niihama-kun handed change to Haruka and held her hand tightly in the process. And Haruka blushed and squeezed his hand back.
!? ! ? ! ?
W-We did!
Now that they mention it, we did do all of that!
I was just so happy to be with Haruka at school and to be able to touch her. But it seems that these feelings inadvertently translated into my actions.
(But even so, we werent doing anything openly in front of others. How did they figure it out so precisely!?)
W-Wait, you two you didnt think that we were doing this discreetly!?
S-So, so what happened next!? Did you confess while you were working part-time together? Or was it when you gave her a birthday present after all!?
It was definitely Niihama-kun who made the approach, but what was Harukas reaction! And does Harukas incredibly overprotective dad know about this!?
You guys are shining brighter than ever
Looking at Kazamihara and Fudehashi, who seemed like reporters gathering for a celebrity wedding announcement, I said with a slightly tired voice.
These two have always taken good care of Haruka, so I can understand why theyre so excited
Um, yes hehe, Shinichiro told me exactly as he said. The place was in my room
No, Haruka!? If you talk about it so candidly, my heart wont be able to take it!?
Stammering, I hurriedly stopped Haruka, who seemed to have spilled everything. Well, its fine to tell Kazamihara and Fudehashi, but its a bit much in this cafeteria where weve already attracted so much attention.
But I was really caught off guard I initially thought wed keep it a secret.
It seems that way. But, maybe this is for the best.
Whether it was because she didnt need to hide it anymore or not, Haruka seemed relieved.
I want to be by Shinichiros side because I love him. So, if everyone knows that Im his girlfriend, and if its considered natural for them to acknowledge it Huh? Whats going on with everyone?
With an impact that seemed to naturally flow from her lips, even though she was totally clueless, both I and our three classmates who had been making a fuss until a moment ago were left speechless with bright red faces.
Right thats true
Even though were in a relationship, her airheadedness is still intact
M-My mouth is full of sugar! Ugh I underestimated Harukas naturalness
Gu-fu This is like a weapon of mass destruction against single people Could it be that weve opened Pandoras Box?
The two girls who seemed to have suffered some emotional damage complained, and Ginji, with a face as if hed just swallowed a whole bag of sugar, was completely defeated.
