I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 46

〜A quiet talk – Let’s go on a blind date! (3)

 

　We sang songs at karaoke together afterward.

　Unlike the atmosphere in the previous session, our room was quite lively.

 

　The girls sang the popular Korean group’s songs, and Senpai and the others sang ani-songs in between to liven up the party.

 

　I couldn’t fall behind Senpai’s group.

　Because, after all, this party was originally organized for me!

 

“I’m next.” “Oh, I’m next.”

 

　Senpai Miyashita presses the [Stop] button as my song starts.

 

“This time, it’s my turn. ” “Ah, Kagurazaka-san, let’s sing together…!”

 

　Yamabuki-san presses the [Stop] button when my song starts.

 

“Saijouin, please sing wi—” “Saijouin-san, please sing with me!”

” I’m sorry, I don’t know this song.”

” …I’ll sing it now!”

” …. “

 

　……

　What am I doing here?

　Why won’t you let me sing? This is karaoke, right? I can’t get excited at all, you know? I’m the only one who can’t have fun.

 

　…Ah, they look like they’re having a good time.

 

　This is what a blind date is like… I’m not one of them, though.

　Don’t worry. I’ll stay in the corner…

　Have a good time in your youth. You can only play while you’re young.

 

“I’m sorry, Tokimori-kun is getting a little bit too frustrated, so why don’t we end this now? “

“Yes, sorry, I’m concerned if he’s sitting on the floor in the corner.”

“Tokimori-san, We’re going to end karaoke for now. Please come back.”

 

　Saijouin calls out to me, sitting in the corner.

 

” …is it over already? “

” …Why is that? Tokimori-san looks so cute.

 

　What is she talking about?

　Saijouin is blushing and looking away, but I have no idea what is cute about me.

 

“I’m sorry, Tokimori-kun, but if you sang so well, it would have been hard for the next singer to sing.”

“By all means, I didn’t want Tokimori-kun to sing.”

 

　If that’s the case, I forgive you.

　If you were afraid of my singing ability, it can’t be helped.

 

“It can’t be helped… I’ll forgive you! “

 

　I get up at once and go to them.

　I really can’t help it!

　Now, let’s get down to the business ———and start having fun!

 

“…..You are back on your feet in no time, huh.”

“I was just having fun teasing Tokimori-san…”

 

　Kagurazaka and Saijouin were muttering something, but unfortunately, their voice was too far away to hear them.

　…Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.

 

“Well, next, let’s play the King’s game, shall we? “

 

　Senpai, a soccer team member, suddenly took out some disposable chopsticks from his bag.

　Some of the tips were painted red, and some had numbers written on them.

 

　…Well, well, well.

 

“Senpai, this is, of course—— “

” …the King’s orders are absolute.”

” ” Hooorayyy ! ! ! ” “

　Both Me and the boys’ cheer.

 

　Because it’s obvious! It’s a King’s game, you know? You can do whatever you want.

　That’s what this is! You can order girls to do this and that!?

 

“Wait a minute, Nozomu. The girls are getting nervous.”

 

　I turned to the girls and saw them looking at me coldly.

　Apparently, they felt threatened by our reaction.

 

“But it doesn’t matter! Because——— “

” ” ” Because the King’s order is absolute! ! ! ” ” “

 

“Let’s not play the King’s game, Miyashita Senpai. …Nozomu and the others can do anything ——is that okay with you guys? “

 

　Kazuki appeals to the girls.

　What nonsense! That’s the wrong thing to do on a blind date! What are you talking about?

 

“It’s fine with that game.”

“…I don’t mind if I do it, too.”

 

　However, contrary to Kazuki’s opinion, Saijouin and Kagurazaka expressed their approval.

　…As expected of you two, we both know each other very well

 

“Well, I also have something I want Sato-kun to do… “

“I agree with you! I want Nozomu to wear a nurse’s uniform! “

 

“….I don’t know, I felt like I was in danger.”

“I was also in a good mood earlier, but then my feelings took a nosedive.”

 

　…Hey, aren’t these girls a little too carnivorous?

 

　I don’t know if I should say this, but don’t they usually say no when they feel threatened by the boys’ strange requests?

　But why do they become the ones who make strange requests? However, I understand about Kazuki, but Yamabuki-san… I don’t want to wear a nurse’s uniform. I would never wear it. Uh, why do I see a nurse’s uniform in the back?

 

“Well, let’s try it.”

 

　Senpai Miyashita shuffles the disposable chopsticks and holds them out to us so we can’t see the numbers.

 

“Ready?”

” ” ” ” ” Who’s the King? ” ” ” ” “

“Ah, it’s me.”

 

　It looks like Saijouin is the first.

　My number is 2… Damn it, I must have missed it.

 

　What kind of orders does Saijouin give?

　I hope I don’t get hurt〜.

 

“Well, then, Tokimori-s———— Number 2, I’ll order you.”

“Senpai, are these disposable chopsticks tampered with? “

“What are you saying, Tokimori? That’s not possible.”

 

　Then how is it that Saijouin can guess me so perfectly?

　Don’t even talk about ‘if she had nominated me by chance’. She almost said [Tokimori-san.], you know?

　She nominated me instantly, knowing I was number 2.

 

“fufu, it’s a coincidence, Tokimori-an.”

“I’ve never heard a statement that doesn’t fit the word ‘coincidence’ more than it does now.”

 

　Saijouin is smiling elegantly, but I don’t find it amusing at all.

　Because, you know, when Saijouin has ever given me an order, it has never been a good one.

 

　….Please, I beg you, be kind in your request.!

 

“Then, number two, please let me sit on your lap for the entire duration of this king’s game.”

” …Ha? “

” ” ” ” ” …what? ” ” ” ” “

 

　What are you talking about?

　Wait a minute, are you going to get on my lap? This Saijouin?

　But why would she say such a thing in a public place?

 

　While Saijouin’s comment blanked me out, Saijouin sat on my lap, ignoring the silence.

 

“Fufu, it’s surprisingly comfortable.”

 

　I’m sorry. I really need a moment to understand. My head hasn’t caught up with what’s going on!

 

　Then, the soft feeling on my lap and the nice smell of the girl took my thoughts away.

　I was so close to Saijouin that I could hug her just by putting my arms around it.

 

　…Oh no, my heart is pounding.

 

“What’s wrong, Tokimori-san? Your face is bright red. “

 

　Saijouin turns her face back and looks into my face.

 

　So close! Too close!

　How can Saijouin be so brazen!? We’re so close that I could kiss you if I moved a bit!

 

　I can feel the blood rushing to my face.

　It is probably the reddest face I have ever had.

 

　Saijouin’s beautiful eyelashes, clear eyes, and cherry-red lips are too close.

 

“Wait, Hii-chan! What are you doing!? !”

 

　Kagurazaka rushes over to us.

　The rest of the group seemed to still be unable to comprehend the situation of what was happening in front of them.

 

“Ara, Alice. It’s all right. The King’s order is absolute.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t do this! “

 

　Kagurazaka is trying desperately to convince Saijouin to move.

　But I was so out of my mind that I couldn’t focus on anything.

 

　Why is Saijouin still on my lap? Everything about this situation makes me———

 

” …Fuhh.”

“Wait, Tokimori-kun ! ? “

“Nozomu, are you okay !? ——Oh, no. He’s completely out of his mind.”

 

　…Ah, so this is how girls feel like.

　I never thought my paradise was so close.

　It’s no wonder boys all over the country are looking for it.

　——I knew it; girls are so nice.

 

” …Surprisingly, Tokimori-san doesn’t have much tolerance for girls.”

“Well, Nozomu has never had a chance to interact much with a girl before.”

” …But it’s good to see him looking so cute.”

“…Nozomu is a tough guy.”

 

 

　In the end, the party was over.

　I heard that two other people fainted because they saw the cruelty of reality.

 

　And for some reason, I couldn’t clearly remember what happened that day.

　Why can’t I remember? Did something happen?

　I think I saw a paradise, but it’s a bit vague…

 

　And two days after the blind date, for some reason, I went to school and was beaten up by Senpai and my classmates from the soccer club.

 

　…So what happened to me?
