CH 20

–Meet me at the cafe in front of the station at 11:00 a.m.

As I was reconfirming the message, I was in front of the cafe that was listed in the URL that was sent to me.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was still 10:00 a.m.

Maybe it was because I was nervous about going out with Saegusa today, but I woke up early and arrived in front of the station much earlier than I planned.

When I opened the door to the café, I found that it was still early and there were only a few customers inside, but I saw one person who had a completely different aura and was elegantly drinking coffee.

–Sure enough, it was Saegusa-san.

Today, she was wearing the same large round sunglasses she wore at the last concert, a light brown cardigan over a beige sleeveless dress, a bag and a pair of shoes in the same color as the dress.

I’m sure she thought she was disguising herself, but each of the things she wore were very classy and stylish, and she looked like she was completely off her rocker.

Eh? Am I going out with such a perfect girl now? I was so nervous that I felt a strange sweat pouring down my face even before we met up.

Saegusa-san seemed to have noticed that I was wearing a t-shirt and denims, a perfectly normal outfit, and holding a coffee mug in her left hand, she raised her free right hand and waved it at me.

I also raised my hand in response, but the smile on Saegusa-san’s face was a little awkward, and I couldn’t help but notice that her left hand holding the mug was shaking and the coffee was about to overflow.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”

“No, no, no, I just got here!”

“Oh, yeah? That’s good.”

I apologized to Saegusa for keeping her waiting, and sat down in the seat across from her.

I was glad that I had come early, because if I had arrived on time, she would have had to wait an hour for me.

As I sat down across from her, I noticed that Saegusa-san was wearing a little makeup today.

Her originally full and cute lips were covered with pink lipstick and were glossy and moisturized.

Today’s Saegusa-san seemed to be completely determined, and I could feel that she was serious.

She was hiding her face behind a pair of large sunglasses, so it wouldn’t be so easy to find out that she was Shiorin from the Angel Girls, but I could tell at a glance that she was an SSS-class beauty right in front of me.

“What do you think of me today?”

The perfect beauty asked me that while blushing.

What do you think of me today? Well, that’s ……

You look great. To be honest, just the thought of going out with such a cute girl is making me nervous to the point of exhaustion.

I scratched my cheek to cover up my embarrassment and answered honestly.

Then Saegusa-san looked down in embarrassment, her face reddening even more.

And.

“……That is …… enough.”

“What? Did you say something?

“No, no, no! Oh, well, it’s still early, so let’s relax here for a while!”

Saegusa-san was mumbling something, but I couldn’t hear what she said.

I ordered a cup of coffee from the waitress, since she said we should relax a little longer.

However, I didn’t know what to say in front of such a beautiful girl, so we spent some time in silence.

I felt a little awkward and looked down, but then I decided that this was not the way to go, so I gathered up my courage and looked forward, only to find that Saegusa-san, who also looked nervous, was not there …….

There, with both hands on her cheekbones, was Saegusa-san with a slightly relaxed expression on her face, gazing happily at me.

“Well, Saegusa-san?”

“Oh, S, I’m sorry! Tsui!”

Hmm? Tsui?

I don’t know why she is staring at my face…….

As if she had remembered something, she let out an awkward laugh and took something out of her bag.

What she took out of her bag was a black bracelet.

“Here, this is for you, Ichijo-kun!”

“Eh? I, is it okay?

“Yes! In exchange, will you wear it all day today?”

“Oh, yeah, sure.”

I replied and put the bracelet that Saegusa had given me around my right arm without saying a word.

I was very happy to receive a gift from Saegusa, even though I thought it was well made and not cheap …….

–But I woke up early, and I knew.

The results of the fortune-telling that was on today’s morning show.

“Today’s lucky item for a Libra is a black bracelet! If you wear it, you may have a wonderful encounter with the opposite sex!”

–Yes, I was born in October and I’m a Libra, right?

When I looked forward, there was Saegusa-san, her eyes sparkling even through her sunglasses, and smiling happily and making a small gut pose as if she was expecting something.

And so, today, Saegusa-san is acting suspiciously in a different way than usual.
