My Boss, A Clear And Perfect Beauty Who's An Elite Police Bureaucrat, Turns Out To Be My Sweet And Doting Childhood Friend Who Loves Me Dearly At Home. - Chapter 58

Side Story: A Uniform Date with My Childhood Friend (26)!

Shinichi was astounded by the sight of his childhood friend, Maho (26), standing before him.

Because—Maho was dressed in a blazer jacket with a miniskirt.

No matter how you looked at it, it was an outfit that closely resembled the uniform Maho wore back in her high school days.

Maho glanced around shyly.

It was Sunday afternoon. The two were now at a trendy rendezvous spot in Ebisu Garden Place, ready to go on a date.

“Ma-Maho? What’s with that outfit…?”

“Sh-Shinichi, I dressed up specially for you, so be grateful, okay?”

“Eh?”

“I-I’m embarrassed too.”

Feeling Shinichi’s gaze, Maho hugged her chest with her arms as if to endure the shame, concealing her body.

Maho was 26, but dressed in a uniform, she could still pass for a high school girl. She had a youthful face and looked younger than her age.

Perhaps it was also because she had applied her makeup lightly, in a high school fashion.

As Shinichi stared, Maho puffed out her cheeks.

“Don’t look so much…”

“Ah, sorry.”

“But… maybe I’m happy that you’re staring at me…”

Maho said something contradictory.

Realizing what she had said, she glared at Shinichi as if to hide her embarrassment.

“Besides, you’re the one who insisted on a uniform date, so I wore this…! Why are you dressed normally!?”

“Heh!? I didn’t say anything like that.”

“Lies. Rikako told me… it was a message from you.”

Rikako was Maho’s younger sister, but Shinichi hadn’t uttered a word about it. Checking his smartphone, he had a message from Rikako. They had exchanged contacts right after reuniting.

“Sorry, I teased nee-san a bit… it seems she took it seriously.”

It seemed Rikako had made a joke.

Having confirmed the truth, Maho’s expression wilted.

“So… that means I came on this date in a high school girl’s cosplay on my own volition, looking painfully out of place!?”

Maho was taken aback. She had been looking forward to the date, but this was an unexpected mishap.

Feeling like she wanted to crawl into a hole from embarrassment, Maho sunk down, and Shinichi hurriedly tried to comfort her.

“I-I don’t think it’s painful. It’s… cute, I think.”

“Li-Liar.”

“No, really, it suits you really well. Seeing you in a uniform again makes me feel like we’re back in high school.”

“Re-Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

He nodded emphatically. In truth, he found Maho in her high school uniform adorable; it was his genuine feeling.

Maho’s face turned red, and she smiled shyly.

“So… Shinichi, you’re happy to be with me in my high school girl’s outfit?”

“Of course. I’m really happy.”

“Hmm. If I’m a painful sight, then Shinichi is a pervert who gets excited over high school uniforms?”

“Wh-Who said I’m excited?”

“Aren’t you?”

“Well, I was a bit startled…”

“See, I knew it!”

Maho smiled triumphantly.

Shinichi just shrugged.

“But that’s because it’s you, Maho.”

“Eh?”

“You’re special to me… as a childhood friend who brings back memories, your uniform look is thrilling.”

“Shinichi is unfair. If you say that, I have nothing to retort with. But… thank you.”

Maho chuckled and then took Shinichi’s arm.

Her blazer brushed against his body, and she looked up at him with puppy eyes.

“Shall we go then?”

“Yeah.”

And so, they started walking. Shinichi had never imagined that after graduating from high school and quarreling with Maho, he’d get to go on a date with her in a uniform again.

Therefore, this time was precious, like a dream for Shinichi.

…Though they did get some stern looks from passersby who saw an adult on a date with a “high school girl”, which was a bit troubling.

Maho, arm in arm with Shinichi, chuckled.

“Ah, Shinichi, you’re embarrassed!”

“Aren’t you embarrassed, Maho?”

“I’m fine. I’m used to it. But maybe… the skirt is a bit too short…”

Shinichi glanced at Maho’s skirt. Her slim, white legs extended from beneath the navy skirt with red checks.

At Shinichi’s gaze, Maho giggled mischievously.

“You’re looking at me with lecherous eyes now, aren’t you?”

“I’m not.”

“Liar. I’d let you look all you want.”

With that, Maho teasingly tugged at the hem of her skirt.

She had initially said she didn’t want to be looked at too much, but before Shinichi could point out the contradiction, Maho placed her index finger on his lips.

Then she winked playfully.

“Next time, I’ll have you dress in a school uniform.”

“Eh. That’s… embarrassing, so maybe not…”

“I want to see you in a uniform too!”

Maho said, laughing softly.
