The day after Yuzu senpai’s cute pajama photo was sent, Tuesday afternoon arrived.
I was walking down the stairs while holding a bag of trash.
“I should have thrown scissors back then…”
I lost a once-in-a-lifetime game of rock-paper-scissors with Ayato to decide who took out the trash. My mood, which wanted to see Yuzu senpai as soon as possible, was on a downward slope.
“Ah! Kakeru-kun, yoo-hoo!”
“Oh, Lemon-chan, yoo-hoo?”
As I walked down the first-floor hallway, Lemon-chan came running toward me from the opposite side, her long blonde hair swaying.
Today, she was rocking her mini-skirt and midriff-baring school uniform to perfection. It looked nice and cool for summer.
“Hey, listen to this, Kakeru-kun! Mom got super mad at me in the bath yesterday…”
The moment she reached my side, the conversation started with zero delay.
She started walking with me right away, but aren’t we going in opposite directions?
“I couldn’t wear my clothes, and if it were winter, I definitely would’ve caught a cold!”
“Ah, that’s rough.”
“Right!? Once Mom starts getting angry, it goes on forever…”
“Ah, I know, I know.”
“Right?”
Lemon-chan chatted happily about her minor grievances.
It was a topic with exquisitely difficult handling, which made it a little troubling.
“Huh? Is Ayato-kun not here today?”
“Ayato, who seized victory, already went to club activities…”
“The super-genius high school baseball kid is at it! By the way, what victory?”
“Rock-paper-scissors.”
“So normal!”
Lemon-chan laughed out loud with an exaggerated reaction.
She is such a lively and fun girl.
“Oh yeah, Kakeru-kun. Are you not wearing your glasses today?”
“Eh? Ah, Yuzu senpai told me for some reason: ‘No wearing them outside the club room!’ “
“Hehe… Yuzu senpai has some serious possessiveness!”
“Is that so?”
“Totally!”
Possessiveness… Being Yuzu senpai’s exclusive special privilege sounds nice.
I’ll treat my red-rimmed fashion glasses with care.
…Wait?
“Did I mention the glasses to Lemon-chan—”
“Ah! Oh no! I have club activities too!!”
The moment I tried to ask, Lemon-chan started panicking.
“Sorry, Kakeru-kun! Our club is super strict!”
“Ah, yeah. Lemon-chan, what club are you in?”
“Basketball! The girls’ basketball team! See you next time, then!”
“Yeah. Do your best at club.”
“Thanks!!”
Lemon-chan ran off while waving her hands vigorously.
She’s always so full of energy.
“…Club activities, huh.”
I glanced briefly at my healing ankle.
“…No good, Yuzu senpai is waiting.”
I immediately raised my head and started walking.
I arrived late at the literature club room.
When I stepped inside, Yuzu senpai was already there.
“…Ugh, ugh.”
She was groaning with her face buried in her desk.
Man, so cute…
Only her face rested on the desk, while both hands dangled limply down.
Her rimless glasses were taking refuge on top of the desk.
It seemed she wasn’t wearing her new red-rimmed glasses today.
“…Senpai, what’s wrong?”
“…Ah, Kido-kun.”
Languidly cute.
Her forehead being slightly red is so cute.
“Mom got super mad at me yesterday…”
Calling her mom “Mom” is so cute.
Oh right, now that I think about it, Lemon-chan said she got yelled at yesterday too.
Are girls just really easy to get yelled at by their mothers?
But I can’t leave things like this.
I have to cheer Yuzu senpai up.
“That sounds rough… Ah, your pajama look yesterday was super cute, by the way!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?”
She cheered up.
A little too much.
“F-Forget that!”
“Eh… but I’ve already set it as my home screen.”
“What are you doing!?”
“I was thinking of printing it out and framing it…”
“Definitely don’t do that!?”
She’s so cute, though…
…Hmm.
“Then is the matching glasses photo we took here in the club room okay?”
“…N-No!!”
There was a huge pause just now.
“That’s not what I meant! It’s about this!”
“About… this?”
Even with my best efforts, I still can’t understand everything about Yuzu senpai through trial and error.
Damn it… I need to work harder.
“Lately, I have zero dignity as a senpai!!”
…Huh?
“No, you definitely do.”
“I don’t!!”
Yuzu senpai firmly declared that herself.
Hmm, I only see sheer dignity, though.
“That’s why I thought of something!”
A supremely confident Yuzu senpai put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.
Oh, wow, such dignity.
“We are going to do club activities!!”
“…We always do them, though?”
“That’s not it!!”
Apparently, that’s not it.
Something about Yuzu senpai is different today.
How should I put it, I can feel a sense of overwhelming presence—huh!?
“Um, Yuzu senpai…”
“What is it, Kido-kun?”
Being a little brisk like that is cute too.
More importantly, more importantly…!
“Not wearing your glasses is super cute, too!!”
“Augh…!? N-No! No being cute today!”
N-No being cute allowed!?
