Chapter 98: When You Become the Coolest High School Boy in Japan…
And the next morning. I immediately went to buy a suit. Kaede was the one who chose the store. Apparently, she had contacted Sakurako-san last night and asked her for any good stores. Incidentally, the store was very popular these days because they offered tailor-made suits at reasonable prices.
Immediately after entering the store with hope in my heart, I was met with despair.
“I’m sorry, sir. If you purchase today, the earliest we can finish your order is a week from now.”
That’s ridiculous. I was tempted to kneel down on the spot, but I held it in, smiled, said I’d think about it for a while, and decided to leave the store.
“That’s why I told you, you know. I said you can’t just buy it today and bring it home right away.”
Kaede said with a wry smile as I was about to break down in tears. Seriously? So it wasn’t like sewing your pants, it took that long.
“I think a week would be on the fast side, though. If it’s ready-made, you can take it home right away, but if you’re going to buy something, you have to get a good one.”
What Kaede said was most true. There was no doubt that you would be able to wear a custom-made dress for a longer period of time if you take measurements from scratch to fit your body, and make it with your favorite colors, fabrics, buttons, and other particularities.
“However, Yuya-kun is still in high school. Your body will still be growing, so I don’t think you’ll need a custom-made one.”
“… Then why did you bring me here?”
“It’s to calm down Yuya-kun, who’s been panicking since yesterday. It’s not like I’m holding a grudge because you didn’t give me a goodnight kiss or a hug last night, okay? It’s definitely not because I’m angry about that.”
“Yeah. I can see why you’re upset about it.”
I patted Kaede’s head who puffed out her cheeks like a cute little blowfish. I’m sorry for making you feel lonely.
“Ehehe… I’m not mad at you! But you can pat me more, okay? Right?”
As you wish, Princess. I’d like to pat her head until she was satisfied, but I was too embarrassed to do it in front of the store, and time was ticking away as it was, so I had to think of my next move.
“If it’s about that, please leave it to me! I’ll coordinate it for you, Yuya-kun! This will definitely make you look cool! You’ll be chosen as the grand prize winner of the National High School Boys Contest!”
“I’m not you, Kaede. I think that’s an exaggeration, right?”
“No, it’s not! Yuya-kun is cool! At least in my mind, he’s the coolest guy in Japan! The second place and below are also dominated by Yuya-kun!”
It would be wild to argue that this was not a ranking at all. But I didn’t know any man who wouldn’t be happy to hear her say this. In fact, I was both happy and embarrassed at the same time. However, because Kaede said it in a very loud voice in the middle of the street, the stares of the people on the street were warm.
“Oh… no! I knew I shouldn’t have mentioned the National High School Boys Contest!”
“No, I’m not going to do it in the first place, and I hope you don’t mind…, but why?”
I just heard for the first time that there was a boys’ version of the high school girls’ beauty pageant where Kaede had won the grand prize, and why not? Well, I don’t have any intention of participating.
“Because… if Yuya-kun were to compete, his charm would spread throughout the country… Yuya-kun is my personal Yuya-kun.”
Oh, I haven’t heard Kaede say ‘personal’ in a while. And it came with the added bonus of her blushing cheeks and upturned eyes. Her cuteness was exploding.
“Uu… what’s with those eyes, why do they look like they’re watching over a kitten!? I’m serious! Or is it that!? Yuya-kun is also a boy, so do you have a desire to be popular!”
That’s strange. Kaede has now turned into a pain to deal with. She puffed up her cheeks again and glared at me with an upward glance. I felt like I was about to step on a cliff, but it was still cute.
“Don’t worry. I’m only looking at Kaede, you know.”
I gave Kaede a pat on the head and held her hand. Let’s get moving. We don’t seem to have much time.
“…Yuya-kun, you baka. You’re unfair. It’s a foul. But I love that about you, too.”
My heart started to beat a little faster as she smiled at me with a big smile on her face, her cheeks stained with autumn leaves. First of all, I want to hug you right now.
“Fufu. Let’s get moving, shall we? I’ll need some time to coordinate with Yuya-kun. You’re going to be wearing a lot of clothes, so please be prepared, okay?”
“You can’t get enough of Rika-chan, and now you’re going to use me as a dress-up doll? I wish you wouldn’t do that.”
“I want to see lots of cool things about Yuya-kun that only I know. Don’t worry. I’ll become a dress-up doll for you one day. I’ll adapt myself to your tastes, Yuya-kun.”
That being said, the cutest high school girl in Japan looked cute no matter what she wore. Whether she wears a dress, skirt, or pants, she always looks cute.
“So please… dye me in Yuya-kun’s colors, right?”
“—Kaede! What are you saying…!?”
Before I could ask the truth of the words that were suddenly whispered in my ear, Kaede started running. Kaede’s cheeks as well as her ears were red.
Well, I’m already dyed in Kaede’s colors, aren’t I?
