What’s happened since then? Have you made any progress?]
At the end of my part-time job, Hiiragi-san approached me with a curious look on her face. Love talk seemed to attract the attention of high school girls, and I felt like Hiiragi-san has been talking to me more and more lately.
[Yeah, well, there was something. I think she realized that I was becoming conscious of her, and she started to be more aggressive towards me]
Saito is sharp about these things, probably because she’s often favored by the opposite gender. She must’ve known that I started to like her.
On top of that, she’s been aggressively coming towards me, which means… She’s doing it on purpose.
I hope it’s not a misunderstanding or anything, but there might be a chance that she likes me too. I was somewhat embarrassed and ended up grinning.
[Heeh. So… how did it feel? She came to you aggressively. Her sudden change in attitude must’ve been uncomfortable…]
She reacted to my answer by jerking her body a little, then glanced up and asked in a slightly weaker voice.
[No way! I was a little confused, but how could I not be interested by the appeal from someone I like? And even though she wasn’t used to doing such things, it was very cute to see her doing her best!]
It’s true that when someone who’s not close to you suddenly tries to get closer, it can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but that’s not the case with her.
Trying to deny her words, I raised my voice unintentionally.
[I-Is that so…]
She seemed to be a little surprised that my voice got louder, and quieted down. Her cheeks blushed and her eyes were looking down. After a little while, she looked up at me again.
[That… I think it’s safe to say that she’s just shy]
[Well, in that sense, her cheeks do blush a lot]
[Eh!? Is that true!?]
she said as she blushed.
[Well, yeah. Almost anyone can tell if they pay attention]
[I-Is that really true…?]
When I replied to her, she seemed to be taken aback, and let out a small whimper while looking away.
I don’t know why she was so worked up about Saito’s blushing cheeks. I didn’t think it was that important.
I didn’t understand why Hiiragi-san was so focused on them, so I asked her.
[Why are you so concerned?]
[Eh? Well… That’s right! She’d probably be very embarrassed if she knew how observant you are]
[Ahh, I see. Well, It’s cute, so it’s totally fine] (TN: Mans making some moves, good job)
[~!?!?]
A surprised, yet impatient look was seen for a moment on her face.
[She’s become more expressive lately, but even so, she isn’t someone who would show much emotion in the first place, so it’s cute seeing there’s a girlish side to her, and that makes me nervous…]
[E-Ehehe…]
Perhaps she was a little embarrassed that we were talking about someone else’s love affair because she blushed and shifted her gaze elsewhere.
However, it seems like it was interesting to her to learn more about my relationship, and her face when looking away was a relaxed and smiling face, as if she was enjoying herself.
[Well, I’m trying my best against her recent aggressiveness, so I’d like her to slow down a little]
[Is that so?]
[Of course, I am thrilled by my crush approaching me. Even now, I’m trying to keep my composure]
[I see… Well, you can only hope it goes that way, right?]
I said this with a shrug of my shoulders, showing that I was troubled. Hiiragi-san gave me her thoughts and then chuckled.
She had a devilish smile on her face that looked like she was planning a prank.
Somewhat bewitchingly and absentmindedly thrilled, not knowing why she’d make that expression, I replied, [I really hope it doesn’t come to that…]
