My Fiancée Would Like To Thank You.

 

TL: lime
ED: Spynine01

A chime rang out as if it’s to thank me for my hard work this whole week.

The reason why I feel so uplifted when I hear this chime is because tomorrow is my day off, so I can stay up as late as I want tonight, and I can sleep as much as I want tomorrow morning.

“Touma. Club activities today?”

We were in our new seats, so it was very easy to inquire about whatever we wanted without having to get up.

He adjusts his glasses when I ask.

“Club activities.”

“Hmmm. ――so does that mean Shijo too?”

I asked the idol-looking girl sitting next to me, and she picked up her bag and stood up.

“That’s right.――Ah, Isshiki-kun, will you join us? Touma-kun’s there too.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I recall Sensei asking me out again yesterday as well. And when I denied her, she muttered “I see” without seeming too disappointed about it.

“Sumire. Let’s go”

When Touma stood up and called out to Shijo, Shijo responded, “Ah, yes.” and stood up as well.

“Well then, Isshiki-kun. See you later.”

“Good luck.”

I said to the two of them and stared at their backs.

Umu… It’s a good looking view from back here. ――But they’re both beautiful people, so obviously they’ll both look good together, right?

They call each other by their given names, go to the same club together, and even go to their club activities together――. This is almost like they’re dating, isn’t it?

Just as I was about to leave my seat, thinking about such a thing――.

 

“Ohh… oh…!”

There was a gravitational pull taking me backwards, and my chair went into a wheelie, standing on only the front two legs.

I managed to put my weight on the front of the chair and return it back to its original position.

That was a close call. What was that all of a sudden!?

When I turned around with this thought in my mind, I saw Shiori looking at me as if she was watching my earlier action with cold eyes.

“You’re the one who pulled me, aren’t you?”

“I’m the one who pulled you.”

“Why are you giving me such a cold look when you’re the one who did it?!”

“I am not.”

“Then what are you doing?”

“Every time I look at you, your overreactions are annoying so――stare.”

“That’s even worse!”

I stand up and let out a sigh and ask.

“So, what? What do you want from me?”

She nodded her head.

“I want to thank you.”

“No, no, I’m good. It’s fine. Don’t worry about such a thing. Bye-Bye!”

I was about to leave when she instantly grabbed me by the wrist and yanked me back downwards, causing me to flop down in my seat.

“――Uwah… Now that’s a roller coaster crotch humming phenomenon.” (TL: Roller Coaster Wang Syndrome -That pleasant tingling feeling one gets in the groin area when going over a hill while driving or riding a roller coaster)

“Not Kojiro. I want to thank Shijo-san.”

 

“Shijo?”

She nodded again when I asked.

“Because she helped me out a while ago.”

That must have been about the lunch break.

“What…? What about me then?”

When I pointed at myself and asked, I was met with a snort.

“Shijo-san used you to help me.”

She taps her temple and gestures as if to say she’s very smart for figuring that out.

“Kojiro just came out of nowhere and almost got hit by him.”

“You’re right, I can’t say anything back in response.”

You are the quintessential cold-hearted merciless angel after all. What a splendid response.

“That’s why I want to thank Shijo-san.”

“Why don’t you just go ahead and say it?”

“I can’t find the right timing…”

“Hmm…”

I thought about it for a while and then stood up.

“So why don’t you just go and thank her now?”

“But she’s already at the club.”

“If she’s already gone for her club activities, why not just go to the club room and thank her there?”

“It would be a nuisance when classmates who are not close to me show up during club activities.”

 

“――That is… to say”

As expected of Shiori. She calmly analyzes and reads the air.

“But if I don’t thank her, she’ll say ‘what the h**l’ and my reputation in Shijo’s mind will go to s**t.”

“Girls don’t just say s**t… But, well, you’re right… It would be harsh to say thank you right then and there, but it would be a bit rude not to as well.”

Besides, I’m off tomorrow, and at this rate she’ll thank her on Monday at the earliest. If she thanked her on Monday, she might say, ‘What? After all this time?’ Something like that… If it’s Shijo, such a situation probably won’t happen but… No, I guess she should thank her as soon as possible.

“I’ll go with you.”

“――Are you sure?”

“It’s not unnatural for me to go and see Touma, right? Why don’t you go and thank Shijo in the process?”

“So be it.”

When Shiori stood up, I stood up too.

“――As planned.”

“Did you just say ‘as planned’?”

“Nothing.”

“No, you just said that. You just said a black-hearted line.”

“I don’t care about that. Let’s go.”

“Did you say it? You definitely did, didn’t you!?”

She ignored my persistent questions and left the classroom before me, so I followed after her.
