The Losing Heroine Dumped by Her Shady Childhood Friend Will Definitely Win as Long as I’m Around!

Chapter 8: It’s a Date (I Assure You)

By the time I got myself together, it was time for the date.

Yes, this was not hanging out. It was a date!

Chinatsu-chan, will you come?.

The day before, I was so excited that I couldnt sleep, but on the day of the date, I was even more anxious.

It was 30 minutes before the meeting time. I was a little early, but it was better than being late.

The weather was fine. I was very glad that the weather was fine as the rainy season was getting close. I gave my thanks to the heavens for their ability to read the atmosphere.

Chinatsu-chan, . will you come ?

The weather didnt solve my anxiety.

I unconsciously muttered the same thing and gasped. I realized now that I was so small-minded.

Sorry, did you wait for me?

No, not at all. I just came here.

Ten minutes before the appointed time. Chinatsu-chan arrived.

All the anxiety I had felt earlier was suddenly gone. I was able to do the standard exchange of meeting up on a date, and I felt rather content already.

It was very fresh to see Chinatsu-chan in her casual clothes for the first time. Just seeing a girl you like in her casual clothes was pretty sweet.

Ive never seen you in your casual clothes before. You look very cute.

Its nothing its not that cute, yknow?

An aloof reaction. Areh, what happened?

I dont look good in cute clothes or . Even this is plain.

Plain..Rather, the color combination was put together to give a rather calming impression. Either way, it was still cute.

Okay, lets correct it. You look mature, Chinatsu-chan.

Hmph.

For some reason, Chinatsu-chan turned away from me. Dont tell me I said something to offend you?

Maybe she wasnt confident in her taste in her fashion sense? Maybe she was in a bad mood because I pointed it out to her.

Suddenly a blunder I guess I have to make up for it somehow.

Then lets go look at clothes. They say that when you change what youre wearing, your mood changes.

What? Arent we here today for your business and not mine, Sano-kun? You have somewhere you want to go, dont you?

No, no, no, If you are going out with friends for fun, we must enjoy each others company. Besides, I originally had plans to go look at clothes.

Well, thats okay then.

If you have any requests, Chinatsu-chan, Ill listen.

Nothing. Its nothing.

She was still more cold and distant than usual.

Was it because she was conscious of me? Or was it because she was still holding on to her feelings for Osako? If possible, I hope it was the former.

It would be a shame to just stay here and chat with Chinatsu-chan. I was still happy to be here, but it was too hot for her to be outside.

I led the way to a nearby commercial establishment. A cool breeze greeted us as we entered.

It was a place with many stores for young people. It was nice to find an assortment of clothing and sundries at affordable prices.

Without hesitation, I stepped into the floor for womens fashion.

Hey, Wait. This is the womens floor.

Thats right. It would be nice if there were clothes that suit you, Chinatsu-chan.

What about yours, Sano-kun?

Im fine. I just wanted to go to the clothing store because I wanted you to try on all kinds of clothes.

W-What?

I was given a look that clearly said that she had no idea what was going on.

But this was better than being cold. When I looked at her, I naturally smiled. What an honest expression.

Buying isnt the only way to enjoy shopping. Its not only about buying, its also about enjoying looking at the clothes and trying them on. When you change what you wear, your mood changes. Its okay to try things on.

I dont like the idea of just trying things on.

Chinatsu-chan was serious. But not buying it was also a choice.

You should only buy what you like. You dont buy everything you try on. Even the shopkeepers dont expect that much from you. You have to decide if the item really fits you or not. Thats what trying things on is for.

T-thats true, but

Yes. How about this for now?

I recommended a pretty skirt that caught my eye.

When I saw it at first glance, an electric current ran through me. It would surely suit Chinatsu-chan. I was driven by this premonition and recommended it to her.

Eh I dont think this kind of thing suits me.

It will look good on you, Chinatsu-chan. Youre absolutely adorable. I want to see it more than anything else!

Sa-Sano-kun, you have weird tastes!

Whats wrong with that. Whats wrong with imagining the girl you like wearing pretty clothes!

Your eyes are scary.

What!? N-no. ahahaha.

Oh, man, I was too desperate. I was once told that a man who loses his composure is uncool.

Sano-kun, youre a lot more pushy than I thought youd be.

Im sorry. I got carried away .

I returned the skirt to its original position, letting my shoulders slump.

Fine. Ill try it on.

What?

Chinatsu-chan picked up the skirt, which I had just put back in its original position, and headed straight for the fitting room rapidly.

Its because Sano-kun was thinking of me. I dont want to waste those feelings.

Chi-Chinatsu-chan

My heart trembled with her words.

I dont care if people say I was simple. I was comfortable with my heart that responded honestly.

However.

Just before closing the curtains of the fitting room. She turned around and moved her lips in a small, shy motion.

.Even if it doesnt look good on me, you still have to look at me

The curtains were closed with a click.

It was probably nothing, but I was easily taken aback by the words.

When it came to Chinatsu-chan, I was really a very easy guy.
