About Touma-kun, Who Wants to Spend His Time Quietly, Is Liked by the School’s Madonna - Chapter 35

Touma-kun Is Surprised at the End

Translated by AmaLynne

 

I kissed her.

 

All over my body, I felt as if an electric shock had been sent through me.

 

And at the same time, I felt an emotion I don’t know how to describe.

 

Cute? Likeable? Worry? Pain?

 

It’s like…all of those things mixed together.

 

Shinji-san said I’ll figure it out eventually.

 

Maybe this is what it’s all about.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

I kissed her a second time, and we were still holding each other.

 

Now what?

 

No, no matter what we do, we have to pull away…

 

If we don’t do something about it, we’re going to get out of control…

 

「T-Touma-kun…i-it hurts…」

 

「I-I’m sorry! W-What did I…!?」

 

I quickly back away and sit upright.

 

「Uh-huh! No, no, it’s okay! It just hurt a little bit…」

 

「 I’m sorry! I was so forceful! It’s just that you’re so adorable…」

 

「Fue!? A-Adorable…uuu, so happy…that, I love it too…」

 

「I-I see…」

 

「…………」

 

「…………」

 

「Y-You kissed me…so great. How to say it…a happy feeling.」

 

「I-I see…it’s hard to say, but it made me happy.」

 

「But…can I ask you something?」

 

「Yeah, go ahead.」

 

「Why now…? I-I was…I was trying to make an appeal but…I was, you know, holding arms, looking cute, and all that stuff…but today, I wasn’t doing anything in particular. I wasn’t even…」

 

「So that’s what that was all about… I’m ashamed to say, I never noticed that. I guess I’ve been so full of myself…that, actually, I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time.」

 

「Eh!? Y-You did!? I felt the same…so happy…」

 

「Y-Yeah…but, you know, maybe I should hold off for a month or something, I don’t want you to think that’s what I’m after…」

 

「I don’t think so!」

 

「I know, I knew Aya would say that.」

 

「Eh…? Then――」

 

「I’m sorry, it’s all because of my immaturity. You know, when I kissed you…I didn’t feel like I could stop…」

 

「Eh? What do you mean…oh…well, I mean, I wouldn’t mind! No, I, what I’m talking about…」

 

This…how cute it is.

This is the kind of self-control I need.

 

「No, I know what you mean. It’s okay, you don’t have to think about that right now. I’m feeling very happy right now. That’s all that matters.」

 

…For now, but don’t push it.

I will endure to the limit…!

 

「Touma-kun…I’m happy…I’m so happy that you cherish me…」

 

At that moment, *a clatter!* there was a clattering sound.

 

「W-What to do!?」

 

「I-It’s okay. C-Calm down. Let’s be normal. Try to act calm.」

 

「Uh-huh. I’ll do my best.」

 

I hurry up, get into position, and pretend to play a game.

 

「Uh, you want to play this next?」

 

「Yeah, sure.」

 

Both of us are terrible.

 

「I’m home~! Your cute little sister is back! Huh? Why here?」

 

「Welcome back, Marina. No, Aya said she wanted to play games. I have one in my room, but there’s a couch here, and the screen is bigger.」

 

「Hello, Marina-chan. I’m sorry to bother you.」

 

「I see. Sure, that’s right. Hello, Aya-san!」

 

In many ways, it was a close call…

 

Although I said that to Aya…unintentionally, I wanted to push her down.

 

No, I’m not lying about what I said…but well, I can’t help it.

 

Because…she’s too cute!

 

Huh…okay, let’s switch it up.

 

Too bad…no…fortunately, my sister is back.

 

「Hey hey! I want to play too!」

 

「I’m sorry, Aya. Could you keep us company?」

 

「Yeah! I want to play, too! Because I’ve been told that it’s not fit my image, and there’s no one I can play with!」

 

「Eh―?! They say that!? All right! Brother! Let’s play Mari* kart! However, big brother is not allowed to play his best character!」

 

「Yes, yes, I get it. Kukuku… I’ll give you a handicap. I won’t use items.」

 

「Mumumu…! Aya-san! Break this brother’s nose!」

 

「Huh? Is that how it’s going to be? Uh-huh! I get it!」

 

After that, we get into the game.

 

「Ah! Brother! You got the item! Liar!」

 

「No, I didn’t! I took the item because you hit me!」

 

「Ah! I got it! Yes!」

 

「Come on! Brother’s in the way!」

 

「Oh…? Are you going to get me serious…good nerve. No matter how much I love her, I won’t take it easy…!」

 

「L-Love!? Wah, wah, ahh!」

 

Aya’s cart slams into the wall.

 

「Brother! That’s not fair! You can’t use such a sneaky trick!」

 

「No, no! I didn’t mean it like that! Crap!」

 

I hit the wall, too.

 

「What’s that? Brother? That’s unusual! Well then, me first!」

 

In the end, Marina came out on top.

I dug my own grave…!

My pride and joy as a gamer…!

 

「Fufu, this is fun. I’ve always dreamed of doing something like this.」

 

「With Seiya…I see…that guy plays a lot of single-player games, and a game where you have to hunt that monster might be difficult for Aya.」

 

「Yeah, I know. So, it’s so much fun!」

 

Yeah…If I can see this smile, I don’t care about pride.

 

We continued playing games after that, and as it was now evening, it was time to go home.

 

Then I drive Aya home.

 

「Thank you for the ride, Touma-kun! It was so much fun!」

 

「I’m glad you had fun. I had a good time, too.」

 

「Y-You know…Ah! Mother!」

 

「What? She’s…not there…mphh――!!」

 

A soft thing touches my lips and leaves in an instant…

 

「Ehehehe…I did it… Ah, thanks for sending me! Touma-kun! See you later!」

 

Aya is embarrassed and goes straight into the house.

 

Hey, what a surprise…

It’s bad, like, real bad.

 

I feel like punching the wall as hard as I can.

 

And I want to scream.

 

She’s too cute! like so.

 

Apparently, my girlfriend is too cute.
