Chapter 11: Cheering up

Along the way to the bus stop, Komori peeked at my face a lot with his face blus.h.i.+ng.

“What~? Is there something wrong with my face?”

“N-No, it’s not that….. Thank you for standing up for me.”

“It’s not like I did it for Gla.s.ses-kun….. Komori-kun or anything. I only did what I think is right. Still, what a blunder. I decreased the number of Natsumi’s friends. But well, it’s impossible for me to be friends with people like them.”

“You can just call me Gla.s.ses-kun if it’s more comfortable….. W-What should I call you?”

“I see. Then you can call me Natsumi or Nacchan, whichever is fine.”

“Re-Really! T-Then, I’ll call you Natsumi-san! Amazing! It’s like a dream come true!”

Komori looked to be so happy that his body bent to be like the kanji for nine (九).

Youth sure is nice. This uncle gonna root for you then.

“Are you really that happy?”

“Y-Yeah!”

Heeh. You like Natsumi very much, huh.

Do your best, boy. This uncle is watching over you.

As for myself, I didn’t have any female friend in high school.

I envy him.

“S-Say, can I ask something?”

“What is it?”

“W-What food do you like? W-What drama do you usually watch?”

I struck Komori with a kick to his back. Komori appeared to be surprised.

“You’re being too carefree! You can’t get a girlfriend with that att.i.tude, you know?”

“No, a girlfriend for me is….. Furthermore, the one I like is Natsumi-san…..”

“Come again?”

Natsumi-san? Is it me? He’s talking about me? So that’s how it is.

This guy likes me.

Dammit. I don’t have a hobby to date boys.

He seemed to have some strange expectation of me. How awkward.

“Err, I can’t go out you, Gla.s.ses-kun. I’m sorry.”

Gla.s.ses-kun abruptly dropped his shoulders. His face was so gloomy as if he was burdened with all unhappiness in the world.

Gah. If you’re making that kind of face, it makes me look like I did something bad, you know.

It’s because I’m actually a man. Even if I said that, I’m sure he won’t believe me. How problematic.

“T-That’s right, huh…..”

“Don’t be that sad. It’s just that I won’t go out with anyone for now. Gla.s.ses-kun, if you’re being depressed, won’t you be unable to steal glances at places like my legs or my chest?”

Komori raised his head instantly, visibly surprised. But he immediately turned gloomy again.

“I-I’m sorry. I wish I can just disappear…..”

Aah, geez! You’re so annoying!

I took his hand and placed it on my breast.

His face flushed, and his eyes were blinking in shock.

“Please cheer up with this. I’ll let you do this just for today. I’ll beat you up you ever try to touch my breast again.”

“Y-Yes!”

Oh. How healthy. Thank goodness.

Do your best, boy.

“Hey Gla.s.ses-kun, tell me more about yourself. What do you like?”

“Me? I like games. And I also like going by train to various places.”

Hmm. A train otaku, huh. There was also one in my company.

And if it’s games it’s the same as me then. I wonder what games he’s up to?

“What games do you play?”

“Currently I’m playing Hunting Monster. Does Natsumi-san happen to know about it? Seems not. It even has a commercial though. But as I thought, girls don’t like to play games after all.”
