Ryuichi and Shizuna had met up in the morning, but their outing was essentially no different than any other. As for Ryuichi, the place he wanted to show her basically only operated at night, so until then, he had Shizuna lead them where she wanted to go, doing what she wanted to do.

I think this one would suit you better, Ryuichi-kun.

Well, but this ones too good to simply pass up on Hmm.

Both of them look so cool on you. This is a tough one.

Shizuna was currently holding a jacket in her hand in front of Ryuichi, mulling over their conundrum. This is the first time he had actually gone out with her on a date like this.

For Ryuichi, going out with a woman was nothing unusual, but going out with a girl who was also his classmate was a new experience.

You seem to be having fun.

Iamhaving fun. Because Im together with you, Ryuichi-kun .

She smiled as she held the two jackets in her hands. She was dressed differently than usual and appeared differently than usual, but her smile was still the same smile characteristic to Shizuna: a smile full of charm.

If they were at home, Ryuichi would have hugged and kissed her right then and there before devouring her in no time.

Well, I am going to be heading to her house later, so I guess Ill have some fun with her body then.

He suddenly realized that hed been thinking very condescending thoughts.Have some fun with her body?Even if his way of thinking had changed, he was still, at his core, Ryuichi himself, and although he wasnt dejected by the fact, it did remind him that he wouldnt be able to change so easily.

Although theyd ended up doing the deed together, Shizuna was sincerely satisfied with her relationship with Ryuichi, unlike the Shizuna in the manga. Well, the Shizuna in the mangawassatisfied too, but their relationship now was much more wholesome than that one.

Not to say that their relationship was a wholesome one in the first place, though.

Hey, Shizuna. What say you we have some fun tonight when we get to your house?

Ah Yes! Ive been wanting to do it with you, too!

She smiled and nodded eagerly at Ryuichis suggestion. In the first place, whenever she was alone with Ryuichi like this, she would always carry a sense of anticipation in her eyes.

Sure, she was happy just to be alone with him, but seemingly hiding behind that happiness was a faint sense of expectation which Ryuichi couldnt help but respond to.

But is that really all it is?

He definitely felt comfortable having Shizuna by his side. He had felt puzzled when he first regained his memories of this world, but now hed already accepted it.

In the meantime, hed encountered Shizuna, the heroine, in an entirely different manner from the manga, and every passing day he spent with her, he came to know more and more faces of hers that hed never known.

Ryuichi-kun?

Oops, my bad. Was just thinking about some stuff.

When a voice called out to the two of them, they turned around. There stood, in a sense, unexpected people: it was Sohei and his friends. In other words, they were familiar faces to both Ryuichi and Shizuna. They were classmates, so it was only natural.

No way. Are they here for the club too?Ryuichi thought. However, he quickly came to the conclusion that he mustve been wrong. There was a karaoke place in the direction from which theyd walked from, so it was likely theyd spent their entire time singing there.

Whoa, yall here for the club, too?

Tch Dont lump us in with you. We just got back from karaoke.

It seemed his guess had been right. Ryuichi and Shizuna didnt really have anything to say to him, so they wanted Sohei to leave quickly, but he looked at the club for a moment before looking at Ryuichi and Shizuna again.

Normally it wouldve been a surprise for him to see Shizuna here, but it seemed he had yet to realize it was her.

You really are a delinquent, arent you. Visiting inappropriate establishments like this and all. You, and all those people who crowd around you.

H-Hey, Sohei.

Quit it out, man

Sohei disregarded his friends fear of what Ryuichi might do to them if they provoked him too much. He didnt care. He had a grudge for Ryuichi, who he perceived as an obstacle in the way of him and Shizuna.

Ryuichi laughed at Soheis attitude, but Sohei didnt seem to like that and tried to lash out even more, but Shizuna stepped out in front of him.

W-What do you want?

Shizuna was about to say something, but her voice never left her mouth. Shizuna couldnt speak, because Ryuichi had put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.

Ah

W-What are you doing?

Ryuichi placed one hand on Shizunas cheek and the other on her breast. His fingers sank into her rich bulge that could be seen even through her hoodie, putting her voluptuous parts on display for all of them to see.

Sohei and the others blushed in surprise at the sudden actwhile in contrast, Shizuna left her body wholly in the hands of Ryuichi, heartmarks in her eyes.

We done here? Ive got reservations for a steamy night with this gal. Id much rather get on with enjoying her body than deal with you guys.

Ugh!

Sohei and his friends quickly averted their eyes and started walking away. Ryuichi could see them as they leftred up to their ears, showing a complete lack of tolerance for this sort of thing.

Yo, protag, did you really not realize that this is Shizuna?

Of course he hadnt noticed, which was why he hadnt paid much attention to her. The path had already diverged in so many ways and things could no longer return to how they were before; Ryuichi clearly sensed this, but it was too late for that.

Cmon, lets get goin.

Alright. L-Lets get home quickly.

Thus, even Shizuna didnt seem to care that theyd run into Sohei. The whole time they walked to her house, she kept gazing at Ryuichis face. It was as if she was implying that he was the only person shed been looking at theentiretime.

Sorry for the two day delay, school things happened. Also, thank you toTasteh Squirrelfor the Ko-Fi. I'll try my best to catch up on chapters soon. I should be able to release another chapter today or tomorrow, and things should go back to normal by June 10 (when my exams are over xd).

Until then, releases will probably be sparse.
