[BOKUshi+NU V2] CUT 5 – TODAY WE WATCHED THE FIREWORKS, AND SHE PRETENDED THAT NOTHING HAPPENED
“Let’s unravel the secrets of Saka from this week, Hikari here will uncover Sakamoto’s secrets step-by-step! Now then, our first question is, ‘Why doesn’t Sakamoto cut his hair!?’ The truth is, he really takes note of his fierce appearance That’s why——”
——Slam
“Again…?”
I turned off that effective alare the alare it back to this one Why does she insist on being so infuriating? But I’ll ignore this for now, since soht my attention
“What’s this?”
I had cli the curtains when I noticed it
“A teru teru bozu?”
I stared at the teru teru bozu with the ferocious-looking eyes hanging from the curtain That hair, and those eyes No, no, no, the hair is way too long Besides, there was no need to
“It hasn’t rainedseason is also over”
Fro slip of paper hanging fro another one of those stunts I don’t understand
I gave the teru teru bozu a flick to the head, drew the curtains open, and as the sunlight came in, I opened up the journal only to see the usual lively words written in it, which was enough for me to feel Hikari Yumesaki’s cheerfulness
“Yahoo! I went out and played with Misaki-chan again today! She’s still super cute! If I weren’t using your body, Sakamoto, I would’ve already kissed her by now!”
“It looks like she’s having fun”
Hikari Yu at her like she is now, it seee tantrus about Misaki written in it
Misaki Yutera, an underclasser than me, and a part-time waitress at the Café Moonleaf
Her appearance looks pure and sweet, but she’s actually a demoness on the inside Because of a certain event, our relationshi+p should have deteriorated somewhat…
“Saka shi+ft too out and eat lunch together!”
But as you can see, instead of deteriorating, our relationshi+p has iether has become a matter of fact Hikari Yuood terreatly lately, her journal entries are always about Misaki, who hasn’t been pulling as many pranks as before
The thing is, Misaki was a little bit different from before
“Reirl, and she’s been real nice lately You should let her experience your gentlemanly side!”
“Real nice huh”
It’s almost as if the demoness had disappeared, ever since that day, Misaki had dropped herher In the past, she would always be quick to ask me to pamper her, but now she never presses me to spend money on her
“Senpai, I said that it’s okay You don’t have to always pay for me…”
“No, no, it’s fine I have to in a moment like this…”
Just like that, time flew by, and it was the afternoon We were at a restaurant waiting for our check
Misaki and I were nudging each other aside in front of the cash register, fighting over the bill I could even hear the cashi+er say under her s, you should just let it go Hikari Yus, and Misaki’s attitude changed, beco so polite
“I will interrogate Misaki-chan thoroughly afterwards! If you don’t treat her well, then I’ll pluck out a thousand strands of your hair!”
She even wrote this ruthless line in the notebook yesterday A thousand is just way too much Misaki, please, just listen to me
“Alright, allow me to pay, please”
I forced the bill into the cashi+er’s hands, settling the check Misaki then scoith a displeased look I can’t help it either
The atmosphere became a little bit aard, and as I turnedthe restaurant,
“…H? Do you want me to be more flirty with you?”
“I’ve already said that’s not it, really”
“Then that means you don’t think of me that way? How rude”
And with those words Misaki turned her head to the side with a pout This girl is so troublesome
The pure, sweetbeside me with an unhappy face was a cold-hearted underclassman, and her cold eyes matched her current demeanor
I will probably never see the angelic s if I said I had no lingering thoughts about it, but––
“Huh?”
For soht hand, and the two of us began walking next to each other while holding hands What’s going on?
“This is just a sign of gratitude, gratitude I’ irl’s hand So how does it feel? Is your heart pounding?”
As she said that, she even let out a “Hmph” with a cheeky smile
Dahed at, but h, looks like the deh, I could always restrain that evil side of hers
“…Ah”
I went back at her by clasping the sether We were holding hands like a couple See, how’s that?
“Y-You, I give you an inch and you take a h you’re so unpopular…”
She was fu maiden still didn’t re Huh, she’s a tsundere after all
The two of us walked silently under the glaring sun
At the sa else in my mind
A strange note that I didn’t understand ritten at the end of today’s entry
“If it’s Sakaht, I’ll leave it at that”
No, this e was not as much meant for me, as it is for Hikari Yumesaki herself
Sigh, just what is she planning to do this time?
“…There’s more of them”
A all of the various develop, after the school opening ceremony
The nu fro at them, I couldn’t help but raise so to do?
Whatever, I’ll just look at today’s entry for now
“Pop Quiz, Start!”
“A quiz?”
“Let’s find out how diligent Saka his summer vacation!”
“What?”
“I’ve left soe, and now you have to answer them! You only have ten minutes!”
“Another one of her weird games huh”
I turned to the next page Yep, there really are some questions However,
“Subject: Hikari-chan”
“What’s with this Hikari-chan?”
The concerning questions were below:
“Question 1: What is Hikari-chan’s favorite food? Method of answering=put the respective item on the desk
Question 2: What is Hikari-chan’s cute point?
Question 3: Please choose fro list what Hikari-chan’s cup size is: ‘D, E, F, G, H’
Question 4: Hikari-chan is a very cute girl
Question 5: Beside Hikari-chan, what is the nairl that Sakamoto likes?”
What kind of questions are these?
Question 1 is just that you want to eat candy Question 4 isn’t even a question I won’t even comment on Question 3
Anyway, I placed the adult BL books that were hidden under the bed on the desk
2 “Lack of restraint”
3 “D, E, F, G, H A”
4 “A cute girl would never use the word ‘virgin’”
I wrote, only to stop at question 5
“A girl I like…”
I thought of her reason for asking this kind of roundabout question Usually, anyone asked by a girl who they like would feel excited Like, “Oh, so she likes me? Heheheh…” that But I’m pretty sure that Hikari Yuht?
“Whatever”
I’ll just quickly write down an answer and leave the rest for tomorrow’s me After that, another day came
“AAahh! I rong! I’m sorry!”
I tore off all of the photos of Kinoshi+ta that were stuck to the table, and then opened the journal
“Lack of restraint? Are you praising me?”
“It’s not an A! Don’t try to make a fool out of me!”
“Oh, so you don’t believe that Hikari-chan is cute Why don’t you go ask Kazeshi+ro?”
What greeted my eyes were Hikari Yumesaki’s red corrections (?) on my answers Kazeshi+ro huh If I were to ask hiive me a serious response, so I’ll leave him alone
There’s one last problem, the one last reply I was most concerned about was––
“I don’t want to knohat type you like, I want a nairls!”
So she wrote
“Not that I would think so”
It sees to her this way Even if I do, it’s troubling However, that wasn’t the real problem here
Why does she want to knoho I like right now?
“What now?”
“How troublesome”
The nu fro day, and there was so many that I couldn’t open the curtains anymore
At first, I would take them off since they were a bother, but Hikari Yumesaki threw a tantrum and said, “Don’t take down the teru teru Sakaing
I bitterly complained, opened up the journal, and saw the first line written in large letters,
“Stupid Sakahs, she’s going to get mad!”
“Ugh…”
What an unexpected telling off Now that I think about it, Hikari Yu me a lot lately,
“As a punishment, I deleted your entire secret folder of foot-fetish anime! I want you to reflect on what you’ve done!”
“WWHHAAATT!? What have you done?”
I hurriedly turned on my computer with desperation, and opened up the folder––
“…Dammit”
At the top of the folder was a text docu the title, I apprehensively bit my lip
“Just kidding☆ Were you worried? Were you worried? Giggle”
Grrr…
In fact, the document read,
“Since you’re hopeless, Hikari-chan here will tell you the secret to looking at thighs without being caught! When you stare at her, pretend to s and you won’t be so easily discovered!”
“…Heh, ould ever do that? How dirty”
Iandin other people’s business
On that day, after school,
“Senpai?”
“What——!?”
“You’ve been fiddling with your hair for a while now, is so?”
Huh, what? Have I been caught? No, I’ht?
“I-It’s nothing”
“Hmm I see”
Misaki had a sad look in her eyes on me, but she didn’t push the matter further Looks like I’m safe
Hikari Yumesaki wrote in the journal, “I ain went to Café Moonleaf after school today, waited for Misaki’s shi+ft to end, and went out on a date with her It was just that the location of our date was quite unexpected
“Still though, I never thought that you would like co to the arcade”
“Hehe, constantly wearing a professional smile at work does build up a lot of stress”
Misaki replied as she held the joysticks of a fighting ga S-She doesn’t mean me does she…?
“Senpai, are you feeling stressed?”
“Huh!?”
S-Stressed?
“If you are——then why don’t you play a round with Misaki as your opponent?”
She said as she pointed towards the console across from her Oh, so she meant that That scared me for a moment
…Dammit, what’s with that mischievous look of accomplishment on your face? Was it on purpose?
“It’s really stressful If I act a little kinder, those custoh thanks to this, I ifts from them”
“O-Oh…”
I used to also buy her stuff haphazardly, so I didn’t kno to respond to her Misaki must’ve realized it froasp, and continued talking timidly,
“I-I’ve already stopped doing that though I was just a little bit carried away, and I won’t do those things ever again…”
“I-It’s okay No worries, you have your own circumstances too”
She seeh I can’t say that I’ll forgive her because of this,I didn’t have to be too harsh on her
“…Senpai, you aren’t mad about this now?”
“Huh? Oh I’m not mad at all”
“…T-That’s good”
At that moment, Misaki had on a timid look, but she quickly refocused her attention onto the console screen What was that about? I put that thought aside for now, and looked around the arcade parlor, while secretly snickering to myself
Misaki soon becaaht Even though Misaki’s personality was a bit like “that” , she was still a nice and adorable underclass in a cute underclassuys is such an enjoyable experience! Ahahaha, even when I closeme In reality, there wasn’t even a relationshi+p between Misaki and me, and I couldn’t even be called her purse, but no one else knew this private inforreat,
“Ah, hmm…”
As I was releasing all of the unwanted virgin power (?) that I had accu sound that made me return my attention towards her
“Hmm… Ah…”
I looked at the console screen, and saw that she was currently struggling in her battle
Woah, although I don’t knoho her opponent is, those tactics are unruly Using counter-throws and such demonic cohting a girl so seriously?
Displeased, I silently cranedat the console across It’s probably so face——
“Huh——————!?”
My back froze Impossible, I was struck by a spell of dizziness once I saho it was
“K-Kasumi…”
Why is she here…?
“……And here I thought that Saka…Who knew that he was just enjoying himself…”
She quietlyto herself, and that look terrifiedatthat had destroyed her family, like her husband’s mistress…
As I was thinking that, we made eye contact with each other, and I couldn’t help but quickly look away crap, did she sit at the console facing us because she found Misaki and me… This is really bad…
“Ah…”
At that moment, Misaki was struck by Kasumi’s demonic techniques, and lost
“Tsk… What the…”
Seeing the unyielding look on Misaki’s face, I suddenly felt a sense of apprehension L-Let’s go for now You ry, so let’s find a nice place and eat some sweets——
“Senpai! Help Misaki take down that opponent!”
The premonition came true——!!
Wait, wait! crap, the surrounding looks were stabbing into me The current atmosphere felt like, “In a situation like this, the boyfriend should coolly take down the opponent He was proudly showing off just o, so he can’t run away now…”
But I have to run away shae, then the situation would get incredibly worse…
“Senpai~”
As I was planning my retreat
“If you beat him, then Misaki will let you enjoy all you want today”
Misaki let out her prettiest professional sedyour fingernails to pinch et it! I’ll do it!
I co her chair… Huh? My phone is vibrating An email? At this timie——
Bzzz!
“If you lose to me, then you’ll have to do ①,②, and ③ Kasuuys remember ① = a kiss, ② = a French kiss, and ③ = Eh? Down there!?)
“……………………………………………………………”
Cold sweat trickled, and theit easy onfrom behind! What do I do!? Do I win or do I lose!?
“Senpai, if you lose…then you knoill happen right?”
“Uh, you see…but…”
“Senpai”
Misaki said as she pointed her index finger out, and stroked it down ue clicking from the other side
I tragically faced this dilemma, and my willpower slowly depleted like my HP bar After much trouble, my choice was——
“……I won……”
Holding ice creae roo for quite so one after another, but I didn’t have the courage to read any the I could faintly hear Kasu tomorrow, no matter what I have to use…”
“Giggle, thank you very ht now”
Misaki let out a cheerful s the soft serve ice creaant de her feet back and forth That’s way too lax of her
“But it’s been a long tiles, two is definitely more fun than one!”
“Did you used to come with a friend?”
“Not really a friend I would occasionally come here with a very dear person”
——!
Hearing this unexpected answer, I couldn’t help but gulp
“Someone… dear to you?”
“Yeah, I think I told you about this yesterday too”
I didn’t hear about it Hikari Yus down, seriously
“A very nice person Although to say love…would be an exaggeration, but for me, that person’s irreplaceable I can still remember when that person used to comb my hair for me”
O-Oh… comb your hair huh…
“We often took photos together, sticking our faces next to each other… Heheh, it was quite e”
“………Tsk”
…However, even though her personality was a little off, she’s still cute anyway It looks like even she has her complicated past
I didn’t knohy but, I felt sad knowing of Misaki’s past with another guy No, there wasn’t anything more to that It was just that I’m a bit depressed…
It’ll probably be aard if I remained silent
“Senpai, are you taking it personally?”
“Huh?”
I turnedat me with a cheeky smile on her face
“I see, so that’s how Senpai sees Misaki… Giggle”
“N-No, that’s not it! Definitely not like that——!”
“So that’s why you come by to the shop everyday”
“Uh………”
T-That’s because Hikari Yumesaki’s made promises selfishly…
“In fact, yesterday, you coer, ‘You should have the waitresses’ skirts be shorter!’, senpai That’s probably the reason too”
That idiot!
“Also, you’ve said‘Misaki, you should coo to your house, just ould you do to me?”
“Uh…”
You’re doing this on purpose now, aren’t you…
“Anyway, I do owe you gratitude, senpai, so just work hard ok?”
Misaki sid face——
“Hmph, I would never do such hart work”
Ah, I bit h at me!
“Giggle, how hilarious Oh that’s right, Senpai Wanna take soether?”
“To commemorate what…”
Although I said that, I reluctantly agreed with a disgruntled look I’m so soft
At that moment, a sweet apple scent suddenly came from behind and drew near my ear
“Ah, and also”
“Huh?”
“You don’t have to pretend fiddling your hair, senpai If you want to take a look, then you’re free to do so at anytime”
“………!”
“Let’s go, Senpai”
The demoness’ whispers made my face sizzle
Dammit, I’ve been found out!
On another day
“I got to do my own research!”
It was the second se off, my summer homeas still not finished (it was mostly Hikari Yuo, I directedher to, “Hurry up and do the homework!” And her response was the above It see is
“Her research probably has nothing to do with the homework”
Then just what is she doing? I really don’t understand her
There was even another notebook on the desk, and written on the front cover was:
“Conquest”
So to conquer?
I opened the notebook——
“Akitsuki Sakamoto: the heroine”
“Heroine!?”
Why are you writing this kind of things!? I’m the heroine!?
Next to the illustration of a character resee letters,
“Looks like a delinquent, but he’s actually just a tiuys”
(T/N: Most of you are probably familiar with yaoi/BL (Boy’s Love) Two coenre are “uke” and “seme” The uke is “passive” (on the bottohly recommend that more research NOT be conducted)
“Just what is she doing this time…”
“Route Difficulty: E, harsh-looking on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside, so he’s quite easy to conquer His whole body gives off the innocence of a virgin Always careless All the gamers calls him ‘Bakatsuki’”
Bakatsuki… (T/N: The pun was originally a portmanteau with an insult (Baka means idiot) followed by “月” (tsuki), which is the last character in his first nareat choice of reference)
“However, he’s actually really kind, and if you were to tidy up his appearance he would look quite cool Since he has such a cute personality and yet a cold glare, he has an unshakeable popularity in the ga: ★★★★★”
“………”
Whatever, reading it just confuses me So, she thinks I’m a five-star huh
Just as e
“Yukiko: the little-sister character Route Difficulty: A A junior high girl who is slowly learning the joys of being a woh, her tsundere-level is unparalleled Rating: ★★★★★★★★”
“Kasue-breasts character Route Difficulty: C A bit quiet and yet perverted : ★★★★★★★★★★”
What folloere an 8-star and a 10-star rating Doesn’t thatis the lowest!?
“That idiot is really full of herself”
I continued to noisily flip through the notebook There was some extensive data written on all of my classmates, and then——
“Misaki-chan: the female underclassman character Route Difficulty: AAA An incredibly popular and beautiful‘Senpai’ has conquered the souls of countless men Occasionally she shows her sadistic side, yet she still captures one’s heart Has a pair of thighs that can get Saka: ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★”
“What a high recommendation”
