Chapter 72: CH 72

And then, a few days later.

Me and Sei-chan went on an after school date at a cafe.

Since we couldn’t go home with one another at school, we pretended to go home separately and silently meet up at the cafe.

It may be a bit of a hassle to do this so elaborately, but it feels like a secret rendezvous and it’s surprisingly fun.

Coming back to Moonbucks, a cafe Sei-chan likes to visit, she buys a long long spellbinding drink and sat down next to me.

Sei-chan, who surprisingly had a sweet tooth, had her eyes closed with a wide grin on her face when she drank it.

“Is it delicious, Sei-chan?”

“Nnn, it’s delicious. I always order this when we come to Moonbucks. I occasionally order the new arrivals from time to time, but nothing can beat this.”

“I see, it’s that good, huh.”

“You want some, Tsukasa?”

“Ehh? You sure?”

Sei-chan is still not used to calling me by my first name and so she blushed a little when she said my name.

It’s just feels so adorable and makes me wish just a little bit that she never really gets used to it either.

“Obviously, a little bit’s fine to have. ”

“Got it, let me have a bit of it then.”

“Nn?”

Sei-chan offered it to me, I was about to have a sip till I saw the straw and stopped.

Wait, isn’t this an indirect kiss?

No, I already experienced one with Sei-chan during the amusement park date, but that was with food.

But this is a straw, so it feels like it ascends a whole different level at the stages of indirect kissing. I don’t even know if there is a level to this.

“Tsukasa, what’s wrong? …Ah”

Sei-chan seemed to notice my hesitation at the sight of the straw and her cheeks were dyed a red shade.

Oh, well I’ll just buy another one of that coffee and get another straw to drink with.

“I-It’s alright..”

“Ehh?”

“A-An indirect kiss, I dont mind it at all. We’re lovers after all.” [TLN: Man, can we burn Hisamura already.] [EDN: as much as I feel like it, I don’t think we should.]

Sei-chan said as she blushed and turned her head away near instantly.

Kuu… She’s so cute when she’s embarrassed. My heart is so full!

“I-I see, I-I’ll have a sip from this then.”

“B-Bon appetit.”

If I say it like this, it doesn’t really feel like I’m drinking from a straw now, does it?

Whatever, let’s just not think about it too much.

I nervously put the straw in my mouth and drank from her cup.

“H-How is it..?”

“U-Umu, it’s delicious.”

I couldn’t even taste it properly, but it felt sweet and delicious

I don’t think I need to explain why I couldn’t taste it properly.

“T-That’s good to know.”

“Yeah.”

“……”

“……”

I guess we both got embarrassed, so Sei-chan and I just kept to ourselves for a bit after that.

“I-I made some cookies for Tsukasa today.”

“Ah, so that’s what today’s date is for…”

Sei-chan started a conversation, so I played along with her.

Yesterday night, Sei-chan had RINED me, “I’m going to make cookies tomorrow, do you want some?”

I, Tsukasa Hisamura, of course replied with “Yes, Definitely.”

But then I immediately asked “I’m happy, but what’s wrong? Why so sudden?”

I got the reply immediately after that.

“That’s because… we promised to do the ‘Ahhhh’, no?”

I was in so much agony when it hit me.

Sei-chan made me cookies just so she could do the ‘Ahhh’ thing with me.

….Eh?

The fact that Sei-chan made these cookies was for…

“Ah…”

Sei-chan also remembered last night’s RINE, and froze when she took out the cookies.

We both looked at each other and our faces immediately turned red.

“S-So Tsukasa. H-here’s the cookies I promised to give you on RINE”

“U-Umu, y-yeah, these look great.”

“Thank you… Um, so like the thing you said yesterday.”

“EHH…!?”

Sei-chan takes out a cookie from the bag and holds it up to my face.

“A-Ahhhhn.”

Sei-chan was red till her ears, a little teary eyed, and offered me a cookie with her trembling hands.

C-CUTE!

I want to take a picture of this scene and save it as my wallpaper.

But it would be pitiful to leave Sei-chan in such a state for any longer.

I’m embarrassed too, but I made up my mind.

“A-Ahhhh”

The cookies that Sei-chan made it’s way to my mouth directly from her hands. [TLN: Unprotected mouth feeding, arrest them.] [EDN:

How can I be any happier than this.

“H-How is it?”

“Y-Yeah, sorry. I-I was too embarrassed to properly taste it, but I was insanely happy.”

“I-I made it while keeping your tastes in mind, so please properly taste the flavours of it too.”

“Uuu, too cute…”

“WHAT?! D-Don’t say that out of nowhere.”

I couldn’t help but say that out loud, this is beyond my cuteness capacity.

But yeah, it’s my fault for not tasting it properly.

It’s bad because Sei-chan just is too cute, but it’s also not bad because Sei-chan is too cute.

In other words, I’m the only one to blame for this.

“I’m sorry, I’ll taste it better this time. Can I have another one?”

“A-AGAIN?!”

“Yeah, I’d like the ‘Ahhh’ service for all the cookies.”[TLN: Chad]

“ALL?! How many do you think I baked here!?”

She placed all of them in a clear bag, so I could see that it was around 20 with just a glance.

“One more for now. This time, I’ll properly taste it.”

“Kuu… really?”

“Of course.”

“W-Well then, Ahhhhhn”

“Ahhh… UM, It’s soooo good!”

I still felt a little embarrassed, but I was able to taste it properly unlike the first time.

The cookies were chocolate flavoured and were very tasty. It also came in a very nice shape.

“I-I’m glad to hear that.”

“Un, Thank you so much Sei-chan.”

“Ah, well it was a promise…”

I think this shows Sei-chan’s serious and disciplined nature very well. To keep her end of the deal of doing the ‘Ahhhn’ with just the two of us, I like it very much. She’s very cute and I love her so much.

“I’ve made quite a bit so please go home and eat it with Rie.”

“Thank you, I’m sure Rie will be pleased.”

I was about to put the bag from Sei-chan inside my bag until I remembered something casually.

“You gave me an ‘Ahhh’ moment Sei-chan but I didn’t manage to give you an ‘Ahhh’ moment.”

“M-Me?! I-It’s fine! You don’t need to do it to me.”

“No, I want to do it with Sei-chan.”

“Kuu… You want to do it so bad?”

“I want to do it really bad.”

When I looked straight at her eyes and said so, she looked away in embarrassment.

“G-Got it, will you do it for me then.”

“Un, Alright, Sei-chan, Ahhhhh”

“A-Ahhhh…”

Sei-chan closed her eyes and opened her mouth whilst moving her head forward a little bit.

Ugh, what’s with this cute creature? She’s too cute!

“Tsukasa… Why are you freezing up? Don’t make me wait with my mouth open like this. I feel like a dummy.”

“Oh, sorry, I was just admiring the look on your face.”

“Y-You really are…”

Sei-chan sighed in exasperation, but her cheeks were a little red, perhaps she was a little embarrassed at my words.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll be sure to give it to you properly this time.”

“Please… A-Ahhhn.”

I gave Sei-chan a cookie whilst enduring her deadly cute face.

“Nnn, yeah it tastes just like before.”

“I bet.”

It’s not like the taste changes if it was ‘Ahhh’ed’ by someone else.

“But it made me feel a lot happier about it since Sei-chan fed me one.”

“Y-yeah, maybe I was a little happier too than when I had tasted it myself.”

“I can’t believe Sei-chan said something so cute just now.”

“Y-You’re making fun of me.”

I might be stupid for saying this but,

“Maybe the others see us as a bakacouple.”[TLN: a Bakacouple is couples that flirt everywhere and kill everyone with sugar. Regardless of time place or occasion.]

“Kuu… It’s hard to deny that.”

Sei-chan looked around to make sure that there wasn’t any familiar faces nearby.

I don’t know anyone here, but I got quite some smiling looks from the elderly couples and a LOT of hateful glares from the single businessman-looking people.

That’s amazing, I really feel like I can see a black aura emitting from those people.

“I frequent this cafe all the time, so I don’t really want to stand out.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you when you come here from now on.”

“WHICH PART OF THAT IS OKAY!?”

“When we’re both together, there’ll be just the two of us, So you’ll get half the stares, and I’ll get the other half of the stares.”[TLN: I might want you to burn, but thats some pretty smart thinking.] [EDN: He can be smart at times too, you know.]

And since most of the stares I get from men are hateful glares at me, I think less than half of the staring will go to Sei-chan.

“That’s still not okay!”

Sei-chan said with an amazed laugh.
