CH 8

Two days have passed since the unexpected discovery of panties in my bag, and now it’s Monday. I had invited Mitoma-san to have lunch with me in the cafeteria to discuss the part-time job matter with the cram-school principal, but… Mitoma-san is late. 

We had agreed to meet at 12:00 PM after the second lecture ended. The clock now reads 12:10 PM. I don’t have a third class today, but I wonder if Mitoma-san is okay since she said that she had a third lecture today. While sitting on a bench in front of the General Education building, I heard a voice from behind me.

“U-um… So, I…”

“It’s okay. We’re done with the second lecture, so let’s go to karaoke or bowling or something.”

“It’s not as fun without any girls~”

“Besides, our club is fun too, right? You haven’t decided on a club yet, have you?”

“No, that’s why… I already made a promise with someone.”

I saw a fresher student surrounded by a few upperclassmen. The one in the middle was none other than Mitoma-san. As usual, she was wearing a slightly revealing shirt and damaged jeans, and her long hair was tied back in a ponytail.

Honestly, if she dresses like that, then there is no doubt that she would get picked by strangers. There are many people like them at a national university like ours, so I should have been more careful.

Plus, the people around were looking at them warily but no one was doing anything to stop them.

Dammit, what a bunch of cowards they are..

In the end, I ended up running away like I did at that time when I saved her in the subway incident.

Somehow, we were able to leave that place without much problems, as the group of guys who were picking on her lost interest when I showed up.

And so we headed for our next destination…

On the second floor of the student cafeteria, at the terrace seat of the noodle corner.

“…I’m really, really sorry.”

“No, it’s not a big problem. Don’t get depressed..”

“But because of me… I attracted unwanted attention and… now it’s already too late.”

“I don’t have anything else going on so it’s fine. More importantly, I’m worried about Mitoma-san.”

“Ah, that is… I had a class cancellation.”

“Really? That’s good to hear. By the way, is your body okay?”

“My… body?”

Suddenly, she hurriedly averted her eyes and her face was dyed in a red shade. I wonder if I said something strange…?

“No, I didn’t mean it in a weird way, they were pulling your arm forcefully so I wonder if you got hurt.”

“Oh… I-I see”

Then she meekly nodded, looking a little embarrassed as she turned her head away again.

“Well, if you are fine, then let’s continue…”

“Y-yes…”

“Ah, the noodles are getting cold. Let’s eat quickly.”

We ordered a 300 yen student set meal from the cafeteria . Since it’s the noodle corner on the second floor, we could choose from udon, soba, and Chinese-style noodles, and it also came with a side dish.

Also, the drinks that came with each set of meals were different, green tea, barley tea, and oolong tea.

It’s a bit playful, and it’s popular with the company employees and high school students in the neighborhood.

By the way, there are also 500 Yen set meals and 1000 Yen luxury menus in other places like cafes, but for students without much money, the 300 Yen menu is very popular.

So, Mitoma-san ordered the soba set meal and I ordered the udon set meal.

“Oh, it’s delicious!”

“Yeah, of course!”

I looked at her, who was happily eating and said that, but I was not the one who made it.

“I wish I had known earlier…”

“Well, it’s normal for new students not to know. I only found out in the latter half of my 1st year. So, Mitoma-san found out pretty early, didn’t she?”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. I had a part-time job and I was not short on money, so I didn’t know about this cafeteria either…”

“Then, it’s my win!”

“What are you talking about? There’s no winning or losing in this.”

“Because I found out earlier… and… (I got to eat lunch with my senpai).”

[TL/N : The things she will be thinking in her mind will be mentioned in ().]

“And…what?”

“Nothing!”

“Come on…”

“Look, senpai. Let’s have an eating contest together!”

“Hmm… what are you talking about?”

“If I win, you have to do whatever I say.”

“Eh?!”

“Then, you first.”

“Hey, wait!”

So, we made a small bet, where the winner can order to do anything to the loser. 

And then, 5 minutes later…

“So, you’ll have to do whatever I say, right?”

“Please have mercy…”

As it is evident from the conversation, the result was my defeat.

Well, even so, it’s too early. I’m not someone who eats particularly late or anything… But still, Mitoma-san’s absorption power was amazing.

“No, I want to make sure you’re listening properly.”

“Wh-what is it that you want then…”

When I asked, she gave me a slightly bitter smile and whispered in my ear,

“—I want senpai’s green tea.”

“Huh… Green tea?”

“Yes, is that a problem?”

“No, it’s just that I thought you’d want something more impressive…”

“I’m not that kind of person, you know? Oh, wait, maybe senpai was going to ask for something like that?”

“—No, not really…”

“Fufu~ Then, I’ll take your leftovers home with me.”

“Wha—?!… Ah, that’s…”

“Haha~ I’m just joking. Alright, then I’ll drink it.”

While smiling mischievously, she picked up the green tea that was on my tray and took a sip.

**Sip** **Sip** **Sip**

I could hear her take three sips and when she took it out of her mouth, I noticed that a thin silvery strand of saliva was stretching while still maintaining the connection with the cup and I couldn’t take my eyes off from her.

“What’s wrong? Senpai?”

“N-nothing, it’s just…”

“Why are you suddenly using Honorifics?”

“—Anyways… That’s not why I came here today!”

Feeling embarrassed, I unintentionally slammed the table. People around me looked at me weirdly, and I shrunk down like a kitten.

“Anyway, um… So, let’s talk about the part-time job.”

“The interview is scheduled for this Friday, will you be busy that day?”

“Ah, yes. I’m fine, what time will it be?”

“It’s scheduled for around 8 pm. My part-time job is around that time, so it’d be better if you came with me.”

“You’re so smart… What about the headmaster?”

“Ah, about her… Well, she is an amazingly kind person. She has a really amazing style and is very popular with girls. I sometimes feel like I am nobody when I’m next to her.”

“Oh… so she is a woman?”

Suddenly, her voice lowered and her eyes, which had lost their light, turned towards me with a questioning gaze.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“—Ah, yes, I’m fine! I’m really sorry.”

“No, it’s fine. As long as you’re okay… So, are you okay with the timings?”

“Yes!”

“Alright. I’ll come pick you up at 7:40 PM on Friday, so wear a suit and be ready.”

“Okay… wait, a suit?”

“Yeah, the one like a company employee would wear… Women can wear a recruit suit too?”

“…Ah.”

She was startled and was slightly fidgeting as though she realized something she never expected.

“Wait, you don’t have a suit?”

“Y-yes.”

“…I figured. But what did you do at the entrance ceremony?”

“I had a dress, and… I was playing piano.”

Oh, I see, now that I think about it, it’s possible for people to come to entrance ceremonies in normal dresses. But a suit is definitely required for a private tutor part-time job. She can’t teach in a normal dress.

“Well, it’s fine. You’ll probably pass anyway… Want to go buy a suit tomorrow? Oh, but suits are expensive… If you want, you can wear one of my old ones.”

“Your—?”

“…No wait,  it might be too big, I guess? I wore it when I was in high school.”

I think it was for my cousin’s wedding or something. I figured I’d buy one when I went to college, but I never stopped growing, so I wasn’t wearing it anymore.

“That’s totally fine! It won’t cost any money, and I’m personally happy about it! (I’m happy because it’s yours)”

“O-okay… Then, come to my house tomorrow after your fourth lecture.”

“Sure, I’ll come after the fourth lecture!”

Now that I think of it… Did I just have an indirect kiss? Am I still dreaming?

[PoV] Suzune Mitoma :

“Ah, about that… Senpai!”

We left the café after I put the tray on the counter. After this, I was going to the library for my fourth lecture.

And as I forgot something really urgent, I hurriedly walked in the opposite direction and called out to the senpai who was leaving.

“What’s up?”

“Ah, senpai… We didn’t exchange contact information, did we?”

“Oh, right. Want to exchange it?”

“Yes please.”

And so, I got my beloved Kazuma-senpai’s LINE.

As I sat in the corner of the library, I stared at it for a good hour. The icon was… senpai’s veiny arm in the photo and he was holding his dog.

Wow… his blood vessels are popping out, his well built muscles are too cool.

Ah… I really want to lick him.

I just want to taste him and take a bite.

I wonder what he would taste like?

If it’s senpai’s, I am sure it would be the best, because I want to taste his anything.

I’m sure he feels the same way as me…

Ahn~ I can’t stand it anymore.

An electric current passed through my whole body as I imagined senpai holding me with those muscular arms, and I hurriedly closed my legs and endured reaching climax.

After all, I still have a lecture to attend, and I can’t get wet right now.
