Chapter 94 - Cool Beauty Haruka-san (1/2)

Cool Beauty Haruka-san

The next day, I went to school, and Fujimoto acted just like usual. There was nothing unusual to say about him. If he did notice, he would secretly ask me about it while grinning, but he didn’t do anything like that. It must’ve been me overthinking it.

The chime rang, and world history class started.

“Let’s start class now.”

Hiiragi-chan flipped her hair, which normally would be tied up, but was now let down. Today, she was wearing glasses and had a never-seen-before intelligent atmosphere around her.

…Is it possible, her cool beauty statement before, was serious…?

“Sensei, what happened today?”

“Nothing at all.”

Hiiragi-chan pushed up her (probably) fake glasses.

“You look really smart, you know?”

“I really am smart though.”

You’re going to say that yourself?

Hiiragi-chan once again flipped the hair on her shoulders with her hand.

“…”

She looked over in my direction for a moment, and then proceeded to avert her gaze. It looks like she’s doing her best to not show her flirting side.

“I would like someone to read from the textbook, though?”

This teacher, she definitely thinks adding “though” to the end of her sentences makes her sound cooler.

The capable version of Hiiragi-chan advanced through class in a more decisive fashion, and quickly reached the end of class. The girls ended up calling out casually to Hiiragi-chan, and when they asked her about today’s attire, she said, “It’s currently lunch,” turned, and then walked down the hall.

“Hiiragi-chan, doesn’t something seem to be off about her character?”

“She is off, but her trying her best like that is cute.”

“Ah, I get you. It’s quite charming, like you want to just watch over her.”

I heard the girls say that while giggling to each other. When younger girls find you charming, or say that trying your best is cute, there’s no way an older teacher thought of in that way would be seen as cool.

In order to spend lunch alone with her, I left the classroom and headed towards the world history reference room.

“Excuse me.”

After saying that and entering, Hiiragi-chan was already waiting for me in her cool mode.

“Those are fake glasses, right? Did you put them on since you wanted to look cool?”

“It’s not that I want to look cool, but that I was originally cool though.”

There it is, “though”. Somehow, Hiiragi-chan’s image of cool, is a little different from the normal person’s image of cool.

Hiiragi-chan insists that she was originally cool, but she had already prepared a leisure sheet and a meal.

…Your actions are super flirty. Well, I guess that’s fine though.

“Seiji-san, if you don’t eat soon, you’ll run out of time.”

Seiji-san… that’s new.

Replying with a yeah, I sat down across from her.

“…”

Hiiragi-chan watched me, as if wanting to say something. Her line of sight slowly tilted down to her lap. It seems that she wants to do a lap pillow like we always do.

Acting like I didn’t know, I started eating her homemade bento.

“Haruka-san, aaahhn.”

I picked up the stewed pumpkin with chopsticks, and brought it towards Hiiragi-chan.

Bikun, her body showed a strong reaction. Her cool expression was instantly blown away as her mouth loosened in happiness, as if to say “It’s unusual for Seiji-kun to feed me.”

“…Haah.”

Hiiragi-chan then shook her head as she remembered her concept for today.

“Without you doing something like that, I can eat myself though.”

“Ah, I see. Then, I’ll eat it myself.”

My chopsticks make a U-turn, carrying the stewed pumpkin towards my own mouth. Yeah. Today is also perfect. It’s delicious.

“…”

Feeling a gaze, I look in front of me, seeing Hiiragi-chan pouting with inflated cheeks.

“Is something wrong?”
