Chapter 65: There is always a follow-up
It's Monday of the new week . Because of Kiyono Rin, who claims that she won't get angry but will get upset, Toru Watanabe, who successfully survived from Kujo Miki, has to go to the activity room of the Human Observation Department after school.
"…I plan to confess during the summer vacation. If I fail, I will have some time to adjust my mood. If it is not summer vacation, I am afraid that I will not dare to come to school the next day after being rejected."
"Well, if Ikki-san thinks so, then let's do it."
"The problem is, I still don't know what kind of place Mai-senpai likes."
"I have a suggestion about this matter." Toru Watanabe pushed the door and walked in.
"Ah!" Ikki Aoi was startled.
She thought someone was eavesdropping on her liking for the senior.
This has nothing to do with whether your sexual orientation is exposed or not, you just don’t want others to know what you’re thinking.
This world is very tolerant.
Simply frightened, Qing Ye Lin said in a bad tone: "Watanabe-san, if you are here, please come in directly, or do you have the habit of eavesdropping?"
"I didn't deliberately lower my footsteps to eavesdrop on Kiyono's breathing." Watanabe Toru walked to the beech table and sat down. "But I have practiced on how to eliminate my sense of existence. Did it work?"
Watanabe Toru was troubled by being approached all the time because he was too handsome. He tried to find a way to deal with it, but all his attempts failed.
Now it seems that it was not all in vain.
After Qing Ye Lin identified the truth of this sentence, he said in surprise: "You finally can't control your inner desires, and you plan to sneak into the women's restroom?"
"Those who go to the bathroom are idiots. The locker room is better, right? It's clean and you can see almost anything you want to see."
"It seems like it was premeditated."
"I call it quick thinking, a fast brain."
"People like this are more dangerous when they commit crimes. It's hard to imagine what kind of perverted things you will do if you plan for a long time. Watanabe-san, do you want to come to my mental hospital? Before you are taken away by the police for committing a crime."
"I was wrong, please stop talking." Toru Watanabe surrendered.
This world is not tolerant at all.
Ikki Aoi looked back and forth at the two of them and said enviously, "It would be great if Mai-senpai and I could talk like this."
Watanabe Toru glanced at her, then said to Kiyono Rin, "In the eyes of others, we have a good relationship?"
Qing Ye Lin did not answer this question: "Watanabe-san, who wants to go to the women's locker room, what is the suggestion you just made?"
"Yes!" Ikki Aoi also looked at Watanabe Toru expectantly, "Watanabe-san, please help me!"
"Ichiki-san, are you planning on confessing during the summer vacation?"
"yes!"
"Before I talk about the proposal, can I first tell you what I think about confession?"
"Yeah!" Ikki Aoi's expression was so serious that she was about to take out her notebook.
If she took out the notebook, Watanabe Toru's favorability towards her would increase a little, because a notebook is a standard feature of being a great person - such as himself.
"Confession is not a charge, but a bell of victory," said Toru Watanabe.
Ikki Aoi showed a puzzled expression.
"Watanabe-san, who wanted to go to the locker room to peek at the girls changing into sportswear, wanted Ikki-san to take actions to increase his favorability towards Asuka Mai-san before he confesses his love during the summer vacation. Is that right?" Kiyono Rin looked at Watanabe Toru.
"That's true, but..."
"I don't mind if I go to the locker room to take a peek."
"Who do you think is the one who won't let me finish my words?!"
Toru Watanabe suspected that Kiyono Rin had her period, otherwise why was she targeting him so much today?
However, it is neither gentle nor cost-effective to mess with a woman who is menstruating, so Toru Watanabe decided to spare her.
It's not that I can't argue with it.
He continued to explain his proposal to Ikki Aoi:
"Just like last Saturday, Ikki-san, you can continue to ask her out to play, watch a movie, eat, drink coffee, go to a dessert shop, etc. By the way, during one of the dates, you can play a game of truth or dare - the King's game is also fine. It's up to you, and it can also depend on Asuri-senpai's mood. In short, through this type of game, you can easily get information about her ideal confession location."
"It is indeed a feasible plan." Qingye Rin nodded in agreement.
After hearing this, Ikki Aoi also showed a pleasant smile, but soon became depressed: "Without Hanada-senpai, Mai-senpai will not come out to play with me."
"Then tell Hanada Asako about this," Watanabe Toru showed a confident smile that he had thought of long ago, "and ask her to join in."
Ikki Aoi stared at Watanabe Toru in a daze, then suddenly lowered her head shyly and glanced at Watanabe Toru awkwardly.
"Hey, I didn't try to stop myself from smiling because I knew you liked girls. So you're into both men and women? Or do you just want pretty girls? Love should be exclusive, or you'll be killed, Ichiki-san!"
Watanabe Toru put away his smile and sighed helplessly.
Because Ikki Aoi still had training in the wind band, she said that she would find a chance to tell Hanada Asako about this, and then left in a hurry.
Toru Watanabe opened his notebook, quickly reviewed it from beginning to end, and then continued to learn Spanish.
Qingye Rin walked to the window and made tea with the new tea set she brought.
"Give."
"Hmm? Oh, thank you." Toru Watanabe took the disposable cup from Kiyono Rin.
Kiyono Rin stood still, just looking at Watanabe Toru.
Watanabe Toru thought for a moment and took a sip of the tea that was ready to be placed on the table: "Hmm..."
Before he could express his opinion, Qing Ye Lin smiled and said, "Watanabe-san, is it the taste of early summer, or is it unpalatable?"
"…So it's not your period?"
"Menstrual period?" Qing Ye Lin sighed helplessly, "Watanabe-san, it seems that your parents don't need to worry about your future, because there is no place safer than prison, where life is more secure."
"I thought we became a little closer after the haunted house incident. What a pity." Toru Watanabe pretended to be sad and took another sip of tea.
Just as he was carefully comparing the differences between the teas brewed by Kujo Miki and Kiyono's mother and daughter, and concluded that none of them tasted as good as the barley tea sold in convenience stores, Kiyono Rin held the plate with both hands and said in an inaudible voice:
"Yes, we are a little closer."
"Um?!"
"But we are just acquaintances. It is absolutely impossible for me to date you alone!"
"What are you talking about? I never thought about dating you..."
"Also, even if we are acquaintances, that's not a reason for you to say that the tea my mother brews tastes bad. We are not close enough to the point where we don't need to be polite."
"Didn't you say you hoped I would be honest?"
"Is tea really that unpalatable?" Qingye Rin's eyes sparkled.
If this were a game, there would definitely be a message above her head saying "Lie Detection Power 100%".
Watanabe Toru could only avoid Kiyono Rin's gaze and look at the rainy season outside the window. He neither lied nor told the truth:
"It doesn't taste good anyway."
Is it really my period? Besides, it’s the rainy season.
