“Would you like to go out with me, just to try it out?”

“Eh?”

Senpai’s outlandish statement made me lose my train of thought for a moment.

Who’s with who? Me with senpai?

“What are you saying ……?”

“Look, just try it out. If it doesn’t fit, just throw it away.”

Senpai continued to second-guess with a light tempo. In contrast to the suspended thoughts, senpai spoke quickly, spinning one word after another.

But the words generated considerable rejection.

That is not the issue. I don’t think we should be dating on a trial basis or anything like that. I thought that the relationship between a man and a woman should be healthier than that.

In the first place, didn’t my senpai reject me because she didn’t want to have an easy relationship with me like that?

“No, umm”

“Hey, what do you think? I think it’s a rather nice property, me.”

Senpai who tilted her face at me was indeed cute. She was mature and cute, but still had a certain openness about her that made her easy to talk to and get along with. Her clear eyes were unblemished, and if you looked down a little, you could see a big bulge in them, which made her very feminine.

I know this is not a good criterion, but she has money and is financially well off. From an objective point of view, I might say that she is a “good property.”

But. The senpai I knew, the senpai I fell in love with, was not like this.

She was not the type to talk about going out with someone so casually, nor was she the type to say “just to try it out”.

“Hey? How is it?”

senpai was waiting for my reply with her face bright red. It felt a little hot in the bar. However, I was sure that I was sweating differently. It seemed that alcohol was circulating in both of our bodies.

That said, I knew I should never allow a relationship to develop by taking advantage of senpai’s drunkenness.

“I’m sorry, senpai. I can’t go out with a senpai.”

Senpai is just temporarily floating around. She just mistook feeling nostalgic after seeing me for the first time in a long time for a little romantic feelings. In other words, it is not that Senpai has romantic feelings for me.

So I must reject her.

If I were to lean on senpai’s mistake, it would ruin all the precious memories I had with her. Therefore, I had to put my refusal into words.

Firmly determined, but feeling guilty, I refused, and after that, senpai looked at me with a pouty face for a moment.

“Aha, Haaa Hahahaha”

It sounded like a pleasant laugh. A laugh that seemed to go right through the top.

I was glad we were the only ones in the restaurant, but the master looked at me with a puzzled look on his face.

“S-Senpai? Senpai?”

“Oh no, Nag kun is so serious, isn’t he? I see.”

“What do you mean?”

I can’t keep up with my thoughts. What’s happening!? Eh, are you kidding?

“Did you do that on purpose?!”

“No, no, I didn’t mean to offend you. I was just a little drunk and wanted to make a joke.”

“There are some jokes you can tell and some you can’t !?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

Senpai who accidentally sticks out her tongue while clasping her hands together. When she makes a gesture like that, I’m in trouble because I can’t get angry at her either.

“Oh no, but maybe I really want a boyfriend too, making jokes like this.”

And then senpai suddenly said something like that.

“Even senpai want a boyfriend or something huh”

I said what was on my mind, and senpai looked at me with a surprised look on her face.

“Eh, did I say something to offend you?”

“….no? I was just wondering what you meant.”

“I meant exactly what I said. You don’t have any trouble with men, do you?”

When I got to that point, I noticed that senpai was puffing out her cheeks.

“What? You sound like you’re flirting”

“No, I didn’t mean it like that!!”

I have found out here that senpai becomes strangely troublesome when she drinks.

No, really troublesome.

“I mean, you’re a beautiful woman, so if you want a boyfriend, you can have as many as you want.”

“What, you sound like I’m playing around with men!”

“You’re really troublesome, aren’t you, senpai?”

“What do you mean by “bothersome”? You don’t have to talk like a heavy woman.”

“No one said it like that!”

If I were a listener, I would never want to know the reality of a popular Vtuber like this!? “Nagare Asuka” seems to be quite innocent, so it would be hard if she gets a heavy female attribute.

No, it’s scary to think that there might be a demand for it among a certain group of people.

” Senpai is getting quite drunk now, so it’s time for us to go home. I mean, doesn’t senpai have another streaming today?”

“Ah, yes, that’s right. The most important thing to remember is that you should not be too drunk.”

“Right?”

“Then let’s go to the office.”

“What?”

Eh. Eh. Why office? Why?

“Look, I’m going to announce that I’m going to ask Nagi kun to write a song for me on today’s broadcast.”

“Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”

“Okay, let’s go to the office.”

“No, eh, wait, senpai”

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay you.”

No, don’t give it to me! I mean, don’t try to buy me a drink without my permission!

“Yes, then let’s go♪”

And so, with the confession left in limbo, the two of us went to the office to deliver a major announcement.

I was unaware at the time that this was creating a new firestorm.
