Volume 3 - CH 7

Love Klutz

“Minak~o, how comes Toyoto–!?”

“Calm down, so Sensei already told you huh.”

Minako knows Toyotomi-kun from the kendo club. It seems that when I fainted, Toyotomi-kun happened to pass by so he helped carried me to the infirmary.

I, I was touched by Toyotomi-kun!?

“Uu……, I’m sure he thought that I was heavy…….”

“We are human beings you know, we are all heavy. Rather, you are too thin for your own good.”

“It’s so embarrassing I could die…….”

“With how weak your body is, that’s scarily convincing, Yumi.”

She didn’t sugar-coat it at all.

I don’t care what she says anymore.

“Since you are in his debt now you have to go thank him properly okay.”

“I see, I have to thank him. How much do you think is enough? Do you think 50,000 yen will do?”

“He will hate you instead if you suddenly give him money like that. Toyotomi-kun doesn’t seem like he cares about money after all.”

“Minako, you’re not that close to Toyotomi kun huh?”

“I meet him at the club every day okay! At least, I’m way closer to him than you!”

“Uu…..to think that there’s a rival this close to me……….”

“I already have a boyfriend though. Obviously, it’s not Toyotomi-kun okay.”

I just can’t think properly today so I decided to go thank Toyotomi-kun tomorrow morning together with Minako.

I could only push it back a day though.

[Go get him], said Minako as she pushed me inside Toyotomi-kun’s classroom. I mustered up my courage and walked up to Toyotomi-kun who was sitting at his seat.

“To……, Toyotomi-kun, right!?”

“Y, Yeah?”

Toyotomi-kun was surprised when I suddenly called out to him.

After he thought to himself for a moment, it seemed he recognized me.

“You were the one with Yoshida yesterday right. I’m glad you’re okay. I was so worried you know.”

“Th….., Thank you for your help!”

“It’s okay, you don’t have to thank me.”

“Thank you!”

“Haha, I heard you the first time you know.”

“Yes, right……”

I messed up and ended up saying thank you to him twice.

Toyotomi-kun also seemed troubled about how to continue the conversation too.

“If Toyotomi-kun is troubled by something then please don’t hesitate to tell me okay! Even if Toyotomi-kun collapsed, I will carry you to the infirmary myself!”

“Hmm, then I will have to make sure to take care of myself so that I don’t collapse huh. It’s said that good health starts with your mind though.”

“Then I will start with mental care so that I don’t get sick anymore too!”

“Yeah, do your best. Also, this is unrelated but I’m surprised that the word [Mental Care] suddenly came out here you know.”

(TLN: Yes, [Mental care] was not said in kanji)

“Then foreign words are NG between us okay.”

It seems that both Toyotomi-kun and I are not good with foreign words.

We might be more alike than I thought!

Just like that, I finished thanking him and left his class with a loose smile on my face.

The moment I left, I met up with my friend who was waiting for me in front of the room.

“How was that, Minako!? I, I talked to Toyotomi-kun you know!”

“I was watching from the beginning but from Toyotomi-kun’s point of view, I’m sure that he was like [Who’s she] you know. You didn’t even introduce yourself after all……”

“Ah….., I will go do that now.”

“Too late.”

“UWAHHH!?”

I managed to talk to him but I forgot to give him my name…….

I thought that I finally managed to take 10 steps toward getting to know him but in reality, it was only the first one.

“You really are a love klutz, Yumi…….well, that should serve as an example of what not to do in the future.”

“Am I really a klutz!? Also, it’s unrelated but where did the word [Love Klutz] suddenly come from!!”

I fell deeper in love with the gentle Toyotomi-kun but I also hated myself for how I couldn’t properly convey it.

TLN: How did her tongue get so sharp after she reincarnated I wonder……..
