Along the way to the bus stop, Komori peeked at my face a lot with his face blushing.

“What~? Is there something wrong with my face?”

“N-No, it’s not that….. Thank you for standing up for me.”

“It’s not like I did it for Gla.s.ses-kun….. Komori-kun or anything. I only did what I think is right. Still, what a blunder. I decreased the number of Natsumi’s friends. But well, it’s impossible for me to be friends with people like them.”

“You can just call me Gla.s.ses-kun if it’s more comfortable….. W-What should I call you?”

“I see. Then you can call me Natsumi or Nacchan, whichever is fine.”

“Re-Really! T-Then, I’ll call you Natsumi-san! Amazing! It’s like a dream come true!”

Komori looked to be so happy that his body bent to be like the kanji for nine (九).

Youth sure is nice. This uncle gonna root for you then.

“Are you really that happy?”

“Y-Yeah!”

Heeh. You like Natsumi very much, huh.

Do your best, boy. This uncle is watching over you.

As for myself, I didn’t have any female friend in high school.

I envy him.

“S-Say, can I ask something?”

“What is it?”

“W-What food do you like? W-What drama do you usually watch?”

I struck Komori with a kick to his back. Komori appeared to be surprised.

“You’re being too carefree! You can’t get a girlfriend with that att.i.tude, you know?”

“No, a girlfriend for me is….. Furthermore, the one I like is Natsumi-san…..”

“Come again?”

Natsumi-san? Is it me? He’s talking about me? So that’s how it is.

This guy likes me.

Dammit. I don’t have a hobby to date boys.

He seemed to have some strange expectation of me. How awkward.

“Err, I can’t go out you, Gla.s.ses-kun. I’m sorry.”

Gla.s.ses-kun abruptly dropped his shoulders. His face was so gloomy as if he was burdened with all unhappiness in the world.

Gah. If you’re making that kind of face, it makes me look like I did something bad, you know.

It’s because I’m actually a man. Even if I said that, I’m sure he won’t believe me. How problematic.

“T-That’s right, huh…..”

“Don’t be that sad. It’s just that I won’t go out with anyone for now. Gla.s.ses-kun, if you’re being depressed, won’t you be unable to steal glances at places like my legs or my chest?”

Komori raised his head instantly, visibly surprised. But he immediately turned gloomy again.

“I-I’m sorry. I wish I can just disappear…..”

Aah, geez! You’re so annoying!

I took his hand and placed it on my breast.

His face flushed, and his eyes were blinking in shock.

“Please cheer up with this. I’ll let you do this just for today. I’ll beat you up you ever try to touch my breast again.”

“Y-Yes!”

Oh. How healthy. Thank goodness.

Do your best, boy.

“Hey Gla.s.ses-kun, tell me more about yourself. What do you like?”

“Me? I like games. And I also like going by train to various places.”

Hmm. A train otaku, huh. There was also one in my company.

And if it’s games it’s the same as me then. I wonder what games he’s up to?

“What games do you play?”

“Currently I’m playing Hunting Monster. Does Natsumi-san happen to know about it? Seems not. It even has a commercial though. But as I thought, girls don’t like to play games after all.”

“What’s your rank? I’m rank 7 as of now, using a one-handed sword. You see, I can’t do rank release by playing solo.”

“Eh? Natsumi-san plays it as well? I’m using a gun-lance! I can also use heavy bow-gun! As of now I’m about rank 400!”

“Se-Seriously? Then, can you help me?”

“Of course! I’ll help you anytime!”

“Uwaah. I see you as a G.o.d now, Gla.s.ses-kun.”

As Komori fondled my chest, his face turned a bit red.

“If it’s for Natsumi-san, I’ll lend a hand anytime! I-I’m your knight after all…..”

I spurted out and smacked his head.

“Idiot. You, how can you get a girl if you say such cheesy lines? Are you even trying?”

Komori looked at me as if I said something strange.

Dammit. I’m the girl now.

Somehow, I just can’t get it into my head. Not good.

I cleared my throats.

“Umm, in any case, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that just now. Just think of me as guy, okay?”

“Eh? A-Alright, if Natsumi-san said so. But…..”

“But what?”

“Since Natsumi-san is beautiful, thinking of you as a guy might be impossible…..”

I smacked his head once again.

“This guy sure is formidable. Brazenly saying that kind of thing. You should say that only to the girl you like.”

“No, as I said, the one I like is Natsumi-san.”

“Ah, right. Sorry.”

“It’s fine….. Somehow, I see you in a new light, Natsumi-san. It turned out you’re quite a tomboy.”

Well, I’m a man after all.

For some reason I reveal my true self everytime I get excited.

Still, whenever I see a guy like this, somehow I just can’t leave him alone.

“Hmm. Do you dislike me then?”

“No, how should I say this, you’re so cool! I’m awed! I also want to be like Natsumi-san!”

“Re-Really? Do your best.”

We arrived at the bus stop and waited for the bus. It was at this time that my phone rang.

It’s from Kimura.

“Greetings sir! This is Kimura!”

“Oh. What’s up?”

“Don’t say that, Senpai. Didn’t you say you’re going to come today?”

Darn. I completely forgot about that.

I have to submit the application form today.

“Sorry sorry. It’s because my cla.s.smates wanted to celebrate my recovery, you see.”

“I also called Itou today. So please come.”

“I see. Then I’ll go now.”

As I hung up, I noticed Komori was looking at me blankly.

“Nn? The call just now? It’s from my junior at the dojo. He asked me to come there.”

“What do you practice, Nacchan?”

“Ah, it’s Karate. I’ve been practicing it since primary school, so it’s been about 20 years.”

“Eh? Aren’t you only 16 now?”

Dammit. I forgot I’m now a high school girl again.

I have to stop being like this.

“Uh, yeah. That’s right. Umm, it seems I was imagining things or something. Well, it doesn’t really matter.”

We got on the bus that finally arrived. I alone got off at the bus stop along the way.
