CH 66

After a few minutes of searching the room, we found the bento box.

However as soon as we found it, we also saw several of those big ones that are brought to field days. 

She probably doesn’t need such a big bento box.

And I’m not sure if Yuuichi could eat such a big box of food by himself.

“In the meantime, let’s take a couple of small lunch boxes over there.”

“Y-Yeah…”

Since quite a while ago. Sei-chan’s reactions have been a bit slow as she seems to be worried about something. 

I wonder what’s bothering her, and if I should ask her about it.

If she told me that she was bothered about me patting her head earlier. I might just die.

I’m curious… but I’d rather not ask about it.

I want to know everything about Sei-chan, but I also know that there are some things that she doesn’t want to talk about either.

Just because you’re dating doesn’t mean you have to share everything with each other.

With that, I grabbed a couple of bento boxes.

“N-Ne, Tsukasa…”

“Hmm?”

“Well, I-I’m about to say something embarrassing, but would you promise not to laugh?”

Sei-chan said as her face reddened

“It depends on the content, I guess. As long as it’s not something to laugh at.”

“Eh? That… depends on how you look at it.”

I don’t know, though the atmosphere is not as heavy as before 

“Well…”

“Un, yeah..”

“Give me another headpat…”

“…!”

We were alone in this large room, and Sei-chan was just within touching distance if I reached out to her a little.

After she said it, she looked up at me anxiously because I didn’t say anything in return.

I don’t think she noticed because she looked up at me, but the effect was too strong and my heart was beating extremely fast.

I felt like I was about to get a nosebleed for the first time in a long time, but I managed to hold it in.

“I-Is it no good?”

“O-Of course it’s fine.”

To reassure the anxious Sei-chan, I placed my hand on her head and started to pat her again

“Ahh…”

When I saw her anxious face clear up and the corner of her mouth slowly rise. My nose bled… DANGEROUS!

My nose started to bleed, but I managed to hold it all together.

I slowly and gently patted Sei-chan while I held it all back.

“Hmm…”

Sei-chan made a noise that I couldn’t tell if it tickled or felt good, and rubbed up against me.

We’re so close, just a moment ago we were at arms length, but now, we would be able to touch each other by just moving forward a bit.

It made patting her easier, but it also made me even more nervous.

Maybe Sei-chan didn’t realize how close it was because she was concentrating on the sensation of having her head patted with her eyes closed…

Damn, I can’t believe I’m patting Sei-chan’s beautiful and soft hair at this distance.

What a torture, I want this to go on for the rest of my life.

“Sei-chan, do you like being patted on the head?”

I felt like I’d get into all sorts of trouble if I kept quietly petting her, so I managed to say some words to her.

Sei-chan responded with a smile on her face with her eyes closed

“Ahh, yeah, I think I like it a lot. It’s comfortable.”

“I-I’m glad to hear that, I think it’s surprising that you liked to be patted.”

“T-That’s why I told you not to laugh.”

“I’m not laughing. But you’ll have to forgive me if I grin a little because you’re just so cute.”

“W-Well, if that’s the reason, you don’t have to tell me.”

While we were having this conversation my hand kept patting Sei-chan’s head.

I don’t know how much longer I can do this. No, I can actually keep going forever.

“Sei-chan, we might have to go back with the bento boxes soon, they might have finished cooking already.”

“Mmm… Maybe so.”

“Yeah…”

“B-But… Just a little longer.”

“Copy that.”

When I was about to take my hand away for a moment, Sei-chan replied with “Just a little more.” and rubbed her head against my hand.

I thought she kind of looked like a spoiled cat even though I never had a cat in my whole life.

I didn’t expect Sei-chan to act so sweet.

And she’s been so close to me since quite a while ago.

We’ve never been so close to each other before.

The first time I came into this world, when I confessed to her with the tension that it was all a dream. I started banging my head against the wall.

I was too embarrassed after doing that, though it was a bit beyond my memory.

But now that she has become my girlfriend. She’s been spoiling me very often.

She’s just too cute, too difficult, too precious.

“Isn’t hard on you, patting my head for so long.”

“No, it’s okay, I can keep going for another half a day.”

“Fufu, that’s too long, but it’s a good idea.”

“Kuu… Sei-chan, why did you suddenly have such a cute way of spoiling me.”

“Uuu, D-Don’t say it out loud.”

Sei-chan also felt embarrassed and looked at the ground.

“I-It’s because Tsukasa said it was fine to be a little spoiled.”

“Eh?”

“Y-You forgot? You told me that when I asked you to accompany me to practice for the tournament.”

“Ah…”

Come to think of it, I think I did say something like that after I dropped Sei-chan off at her house with my bicycle.

I didn’t expect to remember that event till now.

“Was that just lip service?”

“No, of course not. I’m happy to be spoiled by you, Sei-chan, and I’m happy for you too.”

“T-Thank you… I-I’m happy too.”

Sei-chan thanked me, and gave me an upwards glance.

Then Sei-chan’s face turned bright red all at once, as if she hadn’t realized how close she was to me this entire time.

The usual Sei-chan would have just stepped back and said, “I-I’m sorry,” and tried to calm down.

But… For some reason, she won’t leave.

I’ll keep looking at you Sei-chan. All the way.

Her eyes are large and slightly downcast, and she has a beauty that seems to suck your eyes straight in.

Sei-chan is taller than most women but I’m still a good 10 centimeters taller than her.

The distance between us was almost like our bodies were attached to each other, and the distance between our faces was just a few dozen centimeters.

I put my right hand on the back of her head, and before I knew it, she had her right hand on my chest.

I wonder if the sound of my heart is being transmitted to Sei-chan’s right hand, it must be making a very loud noise.

I wonder if Sei-chan is also nervous. I can see that her face is very red and her beautiful eyes are a little moist.

But still, at this distance, neither of us looked away.

I won’t say a word.

Is this the moment?

I don’t know, it’s my first time.

My reasoning is telling me to stop, but my instincts are screaming at me to do it.

I brought my face a little closer to hers.

“……!”

Through the hand that was resting on the back of Sei’s head and neck, I felt her body twitch a little.

I guess she knew what I was going to do and what I wanted to do.

I was going to leave as soon as she showed even the slightest sign of displeasure, in fact I was even going to leave after her current reaction.

However, Sei-chan closed her eyes.

I brought my face closer to hers, as if Sei-chan was going to grow a little taller.

My heart skipped a beat.

I closed my eyes and prepared my right hand around her neck and pulled her in a little closer.

“Hnng”

Maybe I was too strong, but I heard Sei-chan’s sexy, leaking voice and…

And…
