Close.
So close.
So, so close.
Yuzu senpai is close!
Yuzu senpai sits on me almost every day, but there’s no way I’ll ever get used to it!
The person I like is sitting on my lap! On top of that, facing me today! For the second time! With hands on my shoulders!
Now that I think about it, what do you mean I’m the lucky item?!
“A-Ah, aaaaaaaaaah…… Um, senpai!?”
Straddled by Yuzu senpai, my voice trembled as I acted completely suspicious.
Lately, Yuzu senpai has been getting bolder and bolder, hasn’t she!
I’m happy, but… but I’m so happy!!
“D-Do your best…”
“Y-Yes!”
Do my best at what?!
What am I supposed to be doing my best at in this posture when I can’t even move an inch?!
“T-This is fortune-telling… Because it’s fortune-telling…”
Yuzu senpai’s face was right in front of me as she muttered to herself like she was trying to convince herself.
She’s short, so technically her face is a bit lower, but tiny details like that don’t matter when you consider how close Yuzu senpai is right now.
“……K-Kakeru-kun!”
“Yes!”
As if resolving herself, Yuzu senpai, with an intensely red face, looked up at me.
Having become able to say nothing but “yes,” I had transformed into a machine that replied with all its might just to keep my sanity.
“D-Do you have your glasses!?”
“I-In my bag!!”
Why are we shouting at each other from point-blank range?
Communicating solely through glasses—this is amazing…
“W-Wear them!”
“Y-Yes… Eeeeeh!?”
Welcome back from escapism.
The inescapable reality came attacking instead.
I want to run a brain conference to explain the situation at maximum speed.
Please keep up, my rationality.
Yuzu senpai straddled my lap facing forward, placed both hands on my shoulders, and asked if I had my glasses.
By glasses, she meant the red-rimmed fashion glasses Yuzu senpai gave me as a present.
And I always put them in my bag when coming to school.
That way, I’d be ready whenever Yuzu senpai told me to wear them.
Since wearing them all the time is forbidden, you could say it’s the optimal precaution.
However, that precaution had turned into a double-edged sword.
Right now, my bag is sitting on the desk.
The desk right in front of me.
However, Yuzu senpai is right in between us.
Straddling me.
And she asked me to put on my glasses.
But Yuzu senpai is sitting on my lap.
Now then.
What should I do.
“U-Um… The glasses are in the bag behind us, so if you could… move, please…”
“…No.”
“…Th-Then, um, could senpai get them for—”
“No.”
Ah, how cute.
That selfish whim, so cute.
That instant “no,” so cute.
Are you trying to kill me?
“…W-We can’t separate because of the fortune-telling, so c-can you get them like this…?”
Yes, I’m going to die.
Socially speaking, I’m dead.
Don’t tell me I’m already dead.
I’m going to die even more from here on out.
I’ll probably die from a cuteness-induced heart attack.
The Great Glasses Rescue Operation, digging into the bag further away while keeping Yuzu senpai sitting on my lap.
It’s an unstable situation; I won’t be able to open the bag unless I stretch both arms out.
Which means leaning forward, basically looking like, well, like I’m embracing Yuzu senpai…!
I-Is this okay!?
Even if it’s for the sake of fortune-telling, is it really okay for me, her junior and a guy, to do something like this!?
Honestly, I feel immensely unworthy, my heart is pounding like crazy, and I feel like it’s a forbidden act!!
“…P-Pardon me.”
“…U-Um, yeah.”
Even with all my hesitation, I couldn’t say no.
Because I never had the option of saying no in the first place.
Since there are zero disadvantages other than my heart threatening to burst from pounding so hard, I have to do it, right?
“…………”
“…………”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close, too close!!
Leaning forward, I frantically stretched both hands toward the bag on the desk!
With Yuzu senpai on my lap!
If I made any mistake and moved both arms, I’d end up hugging Yuzu senpai just like this!
There’s no way I could pull off a perverted stunt like hugging her without permission!
What would I do if she started hating me!?
“…………”
“…………”
It opened!
The bag opened!
All I have to do is grab the glasses case and pull out the glasses!
Hold out… my heart!
“E-eeehhhhh…”
Tap.
Tap?
Yuzu senpai… pressed her face right against my chest, didn’t she?
My heart… completely stopped, didn’t it?
“Y-You’re beating super fast…”
My heart was moving at lightning speed.
