“TRANSLATOR:Foxsunes/EDITOR TheNix”

  ｢Aa? Me? I’m out here on a lovely holiday date.｣

Sanada smiled and looked at a table nearby. I could see a beautiful lady looking at some documents sitting there. The lady noticed us looking at her and she waved her hand at us with a bright smile. Sanada waved back at her with a dumb smile on his face. It seems like that lovely lady is Sanada’s date. Ah, well, what should I say in a situation like this? But for the starters, ｢I hope you slip on a banana peel and crack that skull of yours.｣

The jealous man spat this out with a serious look. 

  ｢So Jyuugo-kun, what are you doing here?｣

  ｢I’m…..kinda in middle of a double date.｣

  ｢Haha, for starters you should get unlucky and then get destroyed.｣

Sanada glared at me like a gangster. After exchanging light verbal blows we gave our orders, handed over our money, and waited for our orders to arrive. 

  ｢So, where is your date?｣

  ｢I’m sorry, I lied to you. We just came here to play.｣

I confessed, accepted defeat, and pointed at a bench far away. 

  ｢Hmmm, that’s your class representative Yumeji Yurika-san and Tsujimi Tetsunoshin-kun that recently transferred to our school and Yoshino Saki-chan, a first year student.｣

  ｢…..You are, inordinately amazing.｣

Quite impressive that he can say names like that just by looking at their face, as expected from an information dealer I guess.

｢It’s quite an interesting team, what’s your relationship with them?｣

  ｢No comments on the private information, information dealer.｣

I dodged his query that was trying to get personal information.

  ｢That’s a letdown.｣ Sanada smiled. 

  ｢So, Jyuugo-kun. When are you going to pay me for the information I gave you the other day?｣

  ｢You see…..I don’t have money with me at the moment so I’ll pay it some other day. So, please wait for a bit.｣

I wanted to know Tetsu-kun’s phone number so I relied on Sanada, I was extremely broke then so I told him to put the payment on the tab. 

  ｢Fine then.I feel like we are going to be in good terms so, I’ll wait for a bit.｣

  ｢Hm? What do you mean?｣

  ｢Nevermind, it’s just a thing on my side. See you again.｣

He hinted at something, took the ice-cream cone and went to the lady. I took our drinks and went to the bench with the drinks for everyone. 

  ｢There, take the one you like.｣

  ｢Thank you very much.｣

Yumeji-san took ice tea, Yun-chan took melon soda float, Tetsu-kun took ice-coffee, so I took the coffee soda float that was left at the end. I started carving the vanilla ice on my float with the spork and looked at Sanada who was talking to the lady. Sanada was smiling happily talking to the lady. Goddammit, what an envious sight. 

I was burning with envy looking at them, the lady stood up with the envelope that was on the table and smiled, ｢Thank you, it helped me a lot.｣

Sanada smiled back and saw her off, ｢Call me if you face any problem again!｣

…..So, it wasn’t a date! Seems like Sanada was trying to show off just like me. A sad display of how men are. I felt like buying him a drink next time. My eyes met with the lady. She smiled and started walking towards me. Huh? What? Why are you coming this way? 

I panicked a bit and got ready to face her, she came near me….. and passed by me. Seems like I was just in her way. But she winked at me while passing by. I hurriedly looked back. She was walking with a beautiful posture and she looked like a fashion model. And the citrus perfume of hers is really wonderful. 

  ｢Pretty.｣

An honest opinion fell off my month. 

Crack crack crack

  ｢Stop, stop, ouch.｣ 

I leaped back after my toes were thoroughly violated. The person who had stomped on them was none other than Yumeji-san sitting on the bench in front of me. 

  ｢Yu-Yumeji-san? What are you doing?｣

I asked her with tears in my eyes,  she came into her senses and gasped. 

  ｢I.. I’m sorry Yama-kun! Thi.. this is some sort of mistake! I don’t know why I stomped on your toes! I’m really sorry!｣

Yumeji-san was in a complete panic not knowing why she had done that. She stood up abruptly, ｢I’ll bring something to cool them.｣ She started walking quickly but she slipped. 

  ｢Careful!｣

I caught her and stopped her from falling.

  ｢Are you ok?｣ 

Yumeji-san looked up at my face from inside my arms, she started panicking with a red face. 

｢I.. I’m fine! Tha.. Thank you very much, Yama-kun! I’m fine now!｣

Yumeji-san started struggling in my arm but it’s pretty dangerous to let go of her in a situation like this. 

  ｢Let’s go back to the bench and I’ll let go of you.｣

  ｢Oh…..well…..ok, let’s do that.｣

I felt relieved since she stopped struggling. It was at that moment that I realized. Am I casually hugging Yumeji-san here? I realized it and the bells of bliss started ringing in my head. This situation really makes me happy, I’m really glad this accident happened. But at the same time it makes me embarrassed. 

  ｢Ya.. Yama-kun, your heart is beating really fast.｣

  ｢Eh! Ah! No, it isn’t like…..｣

My face began to flare up. I tried to make excuses but Yumeji-san was right next to my chest and she could feel that I was in panic. Shit, I can’t make an excuse now. 

Yumeji-san’s cheeks turned red and she looked down. She said in a shy yet happy tone, ｢It’s…..the same as mine.｣

I could feel my face turning red. Yumeji-san’s smile was too much for me to handle. If I didn’t have the obligation to support Yumeji-san, I would have fallen on my knees, lost consciousness, and had started convulsing. 

  ｢No….it’s…｣

I couldn’t take my eyes off her. 

I felt chills going up my spine, ｢Wha!｣

I looked around after feeling a sudden burst of killing intent directed at me. People walking in the aisle, Yun-chan shyly taking a glimpse at us while shaving the ice-cream with the straw, Tetsu-kun who seems indifferent with his back at us, there isn’t anyone suspicious. The only thing strange was that Sanada was crying and running towards me calling me an idiot but he probably isn’t the one so I ignored him. The killing intent had faded away but aftertaste was still wrapped around my body. 

  ｢I wonder what that was.｣

I had never felt such a dense and intense killing intent. Is this the killing intent that a real assassin has? My back feels like it has been cut with a hatchet. 

  ｢Did something happen, Yama-kun?｣

  ｢No, it’s nothing.｣

I smiled and helped Yumeji-san sit on the bench. My  back was drenched in cold sweat. Was I just imagining things?

That was the only strange thing that happened so far, nothing peculiar happened after that and we were able to have fun together. We had a light lunch, we looked around the shopping mall and we had fun shopping. It was evening before we realized it. We went into the tram and departed towards our city. 

  ｢We’ll get off in the next station.｣

Yun-chan and Tetsu-kun stood up and bowed. 

  ｢Sorry for today, it was pretty awkward off the bat.｣

  ｢It wasn’t like that at all. It was really fun and that small senpai must have had a bad stomach ache, I would like to have fun with her next time!｣

Yun-chan said it with a bright smile. A nice girl, she is such a nice girl. I have been saved by her smile. 

The tram reached the station while we were chatting, ｢See you again, Yama senpai! Yumeji senpai!｣ ｢See you tomorrow in school.｣

Yun-chan and Tetsu-kun left the tram. I waved my hand and them, the tram started moving and we couldn’t see them from the tram anymore. And now……shit, I’m all alone with Yumeji-san. 

I need to think of a funny story to brighten the mood. 

  ｢Yama-kun, was it fun today?｣

Seems like she beat me to it….Hm? What? What did you say, Yumeji-san?

  ｢Did you ask if it was fun?…..It was really, really enjoyable. Why did you ask?｣

  ｢I was looking at you a lot and you seemed to be lost in thought time to time…..｣

My face became hot as if it was going to light up and burn. 

  ｢You were looking at me a lot…..｣

Yumeji-san gasped there, it seems like she realized what she had said and started shaking her head.
