CH 14

Today’s Saturday, and nothing special happened yesterday. I was expecting them to say something about my choice regarding clubs, but nothing happened.

No, it was rather ‘too quiet’. The usual Hatsune would have taken some action. But the fact that it was nothing probably had something to do with today’s shopping.

「Haa…」

I don’t know what she’s up to, but I can’t say no to her now. But, well, there are two things I need to be careful about when shopping with Hatsune.

The first is that I shouldn’t talk to and look at any girl other than Hatsune. Well, i think this is rather normal, no one would want you to be attracted to someone else while you’re out together with the one you’re out with.

And the other thing, never ‘deny’ Hatsune. This is the one thing that I must strictly adhere to. She once said, “I want to see that romance movie,” and the movie was a horror movie about a girl getting revenge on her unfaithful boyfriend, so I said, “No, isn’t that movie good too?” The movie she was talking about was a rather horrible one about her revenge on her unfaithful boyfriend. And I suggested something else “Eh? How can you not want to see the movie I want to?”, after that, I basically stopped denying Hatsune.

I don’t know if it’s my house right now, but I’m at Daishi station, just two stations away from where we live together. It’s a pretty big city, with a large population, especially of young people.

And I’m waiting for Hatsune in front of the station in such a big city. But still…

「I don’t know why we’re meeting like hits, even though we share the same house…」

Yes, we live in the same house, but for some reason, we’re meeting up in a way that makes no sense. According to Hatsune, “I don’t mind meeting up because it gives a better atmosphere!”. Is that how it is?

And after a while…

「So-kun, sorry, did you wait long?」

I heard a familiar voice from behind me. When I turned around, I saw that the owner of the voice was Hatsune. She was wearing a thin white dress, leaving her shoulders open, and a light blue skirt that was also very long and transparent.

「No, it’s only been about five minutes, so don’t worry about it.」

「Mmm, isn’t this the part where you say ‘I just got here too’?」

「Ah, I just got here-」

「It’s too late!!」

I laughed along with Hatsune, who was somewhat angry but was still smiling. Then Hatsune asked the usual question when we go on a date.

「Does this dress look good on me?」

「Yes, it’s cute.」

「Really!? I’m so happy!」

I can answer this immediately. Hatsune is cute.

「Then, let’s go!」

「Yeah, that’s great, but where are we going?」

""

「A clothing store!」

I see, Hatsune wanted to go to the clothing store with me because of that condition…. But would she use that to make me go to a clothing store of choice? Well, I just hope that nothing is going to go wrong…

My thoughts were shattered about 10 minutes later.

「Yes! Here it is!!」

「Eh… Here?」

This… It wasn’t written directly, but it was clearly a store that men were not allowed to enter, mainly selling women’s underwear.

「Eh, I’m sure this is…」

「’Anything’! Right?!!」

「……Yes」

I see… I’ve basically never been to a mature store like this before, and even when I was with Hatsune, she would ask me to pick out her underwear. Even if she said something about it, I would always deny that, saying “You have to choose those things yourself!”

But this time, the “anything” ticket can easily override my denial. What should I do now? Should I deny her? No, if I do that, not only my figure, but I myself might be in danger.

Moreover, if I lose those figures, I won’t be able to decorate my house with girl figures ever again. That wouldn’t be good…

I don’t know if she knows what I’m thinking, but Hatsune asks me a question in a cheerful voice.

「Which underwear do you think is better?」

As she said this, she showed me a pair of pure white underwear, a pair of black, and a pair of purple. It’s embarrassing just to look at them.

「N, no, I can’t choose between those—-」

「”Anything”, right?」

「Uuu….」

The thoughtless comment I made at that time is now taking a toll on my mental health. Well, I had no other choice but to do it in that situation, and I still think it wasn’t a mistake, but just because it wasn’t a mistake, that doesn’t mean the answer was a good one.

Still I had to give that answer. I was desperate!

「…white.」

「Okay! Then I’ll bring you a bra next time.」

Then Hatsune put the pure white underwear in the basket she was holding, and put the black underwear back where it had been, picked up her bra and walked back to me.

「Then, next…」

…After that I was forced to choose 20 outfits… for about an hour. Please kill me already…

「It’s a dream come true that you choose my underwear for me! Thank you!」

「Ah, un…」

I really hoped it was just a dream… The stares around me hurt a lot.

「But we still have time, so why don’t we have some more fun?」

「Yeah, sure.」

Then Hatsune and I looked around at the furniture in the living room that she had mentioned before, and since nothing really stuck out to us, we decided to go home.
