Chapter 3 – Unexpected Date

Holiday.

I’m in the city.

Before I started going out with Eri-chan, I didn’t go out much.

Now I’m out there like this, freaking out, but I’m doing okay.

When I think about it, I still have to thank Eri-chan.

Of course, I also like her as a girl.

That’s why I’m looking forward to today’s date…

“Naoyuki-kun.”

Hmm?

The voice is very quiet for a girl like Eri-chan.

I mean, that’s not even the way she calls me…

“…Ah…”

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Right in front of me was an incredibly beautiful woman.

Eri-chan’s mother, Miyuki-san…

“M-Miyuki…san? Why are you here?”

“You see, actually…Eri had a fever this morning.”

“Eh, fever? Is she okay?”

“Yeah, it’s not that bad, but…she said she had a date with Naoyuki-kun today and she wanted me to go instead…”

“I-I see…”

In normal circumstances, you wouldn’t let your own mother go on a date with your boyfriend as a substitute.

And the boyfriend would be terribly annoyed if their girlfriend did that to him.

In fact, I’m terribly confused, too.

However, it is by no means unpleasant.

Rather, it’s a refreshing or inspiring feeling, as if a fresh spring breeze has blown through.

“Hey, isn’t that woman really beautiful?”

“Her t**s are so big!”

“Her buttocks are massive too.”

I could hear Miyuki-san being looked at in a disgusting way like that again.

I don’t know why I’m a bit miffed.

Like before, I’m a bit confused.

Anyway, there are a lot of people here.

“Let’s just go for now.”

“Yes.”

I walked out with Miyuki-san.

But it was a holiday, so there were still a lot of people.

If we’re not careful, we might get separated from one another…

“…Um, Naoyuki-kun.”

“Y-Yes?”

“Well, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind…holding my hand?”

“What?”

“I-It’s so that we don’t get separated… Of course, if you don’t want to…”

“Ah, no. It’s not that I don’t want to…”

My voice naturally trembled.

My hands were shaking as well.

But strangely, when I touched Miyuki-san, I suddenly felt calm.

We glanced at each other and Miyuki-san smiled at me.

I gave a vague smile back and started walking forward.

“Is this walking pace okay with you?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you.”

Miyuki-san’s every word tickles me.

Of course, in a good way.

And her scent, how do I put it, it’s kind of floral… Anyway, she smells really good.

She’s always beautiful, but today she’s dressed up, so she’s even more beautiful than usual.

“Hyu~, she’s one nice lady~”

“A mature woman with big t**s~… *pants*”

“Oi, that’s harassment.”

That was really vulgar.

Don’t do that, not to my Miyuki-san… Eh, who am I to call her mine…

“Naoyuki-kun.”

“Y-Yes?”

“We’re going to the cinema, right?”

“Ah, yes. It’s Eri-chan’s choice for the film…”

“Ufufu, I haven’t been to the cinema for ages. I’m so excited.”

Again, she smiled like a little girl.

I’m pretty sure I’m more nervous than her.

“Do you often go to the cinema, Naoyuki-kun?”

“No, not so much…but I like it.”

“Is that so? I like (you) it too.”

Boom.

No, no, no.

She’s only talking about going to the cinema.

“W-We can’t get there late for the showing, so shall we hurry up a bit?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

As usual, I couldn’t look straight at Miyuki-san, who smiled softly.

But I’m aware and feel her presence.

We then went to the cinema.
