Chapter 64 - The Secret Part-time Job (2/2)
“Seiji-kun won’t hate me just because of that….”
W-what would I do? What if he actually ends up hating me.
What if he goes out for food with his co-workers once they get off of work? “Sanada-kun, you’re a high schooler? You’re so mature that it surprised me.” If he were praised by a female college student like that… they’ll get on good terms… what am I going to do…? Ugugugugu.
“Wait, Haru-chan. It’s coming out again. The miasma. Keep it inside.”
“What will I do if Seiji-kun goes out for food with another girl…?”
“It’s fine if he goes though, right? Does he seem like the type to cheat on you, Haru-chan?”
“No, but…”
“Just trust him then. Thief-kun, really does love you, Haru-chan.”
How nice would that be if I heard it from his own mouth. Recently, he’s been quite embarrassed and hasn’t said it as much to me…
He didn’t tell me his reason for starting this job, and I feel like he’s hiding something from me. If it’s about Seiji-kun, I want to know everything. But that might be really annoying…
Becoming a little nervous, Natsumi spoke to me secretly.
“Hey hey… Have you had sex with Thief-kun yet…?”
“W-w-w-what’s with that all of a sudden?”
“It looks like you still haven’t then.”
“… Isn’t that fine, it has nothing to do with Natsumi. We told each other that until we were married, things like that are a no go…”
“Fufuun? Now then, here’s the problem. Between a girl that’s easy to talk to, cute, and OK with a physical relationship, and a girl that’s cute, perfect at everything, but a NG on a physical relationship… which do you think a boy would like more?”
“The first person?”
“That’s right. The more you treasure him, the easier it is for him to be stolen away, you know?”
“Seiji-kun said he was okay. He said he would endure it…”
“That would be good if that were the case.”
Muuu, Natsumi is definitely having fun making me feel more anxious… She’s definitely grinning right now.
“When he said he was okay, it’s because he’s okay using some other girl as a replacement, right?”
“Se-seiji-kun wouldn’t do something like that!”
“Fufufu. Yeah, that’s true. Sorry for teasing you like that.”
B-but still, none of that till marriage, might be going too far…?
In the end, we didn’t wait for Seiji-kun and went home. A little bit after I finished eating dinner, a call came from Seiji-kun.
“Sorry for bothering you today.”
“No, it’s okay. I was just a little surprised.”
I should say it. The fact that I’m super worried.
“… Then, why did you end up coming? All of them have boyfriends it seems, so it’s okay.”
“Ah, is that so?”
My worries ended in vain.
“There is that, but the most important part would be why you started working part-time all of sudden… You didn’t tell me anything at all.”
“If I tell you, then the effect would be cut in half so I didn’t tell you.”
The effect would be cut in half?
While I remained unconvinced, the next day, Seiji-kun came to my house. He was holding a stuffed animal bear.
“W-what is that!?”
“What day is it today?”
“It isn’t my birthday… Ah, anniversary!”
“Yeah. That’s right. This… is an anniversary present.”
I was handed the large and fluffy bear. It feels so nice to hug it…
“Then… the part-time work…”
“I’ve been thinking for a while that it would be nice, and so this time, I forcefully obtained a bit of money to buy it.”
“Mo-mooouuuu, Seiji-kunnnnnnnn.”
I hugged the bear tight. It’s so soft and nice.
“It was just as Natsumi said.”
“Hmm? What about Natsumi-chan?”
“Fufuun, it’s a secret ♪ Thank for you this. Let’s decide a name together for it?”
Mou, he didn’t need to give me a surprise like this…
With the stuffed animal, I hugged Seiji-kun.
“Wah, wait, we’re still at the entrance.”
It seems that since then, Natsumi had gone two to three more times and had decided that he was a good hard-working man.
Yeah yeah… a working Seiji-kun is super cool.
After going through this, I once again fell in love with Seiji-kun.
TN: Just a random thought, but it seems kinda excessive to be getting a part-time job just for a stuffed animal.
