Chapter 59: The Night of The Party
Fuu
I soaked in the bath and sighed at how good it felt.
I havent worked as hard as today for quite a while so this bath time was quite comfortable.
However, I probably exerted myself too much for todays match alone. So I wont be exerting myself so much any time soon.
We won the tournament so we had a class party afterwards.
For some reason, Tojoin-san, our closest competitor, rented out the restaurant for us, so it was a very grand party for just some high school students.
I often talked to other girls as well but I just hung out with Shiho most of the time.
It was a nice and fresh experience but I couldnt help but be at edge during the whole party.
My boyfriend, Hisamura, was talking to a group of girls the entire time.
Moreover, some of them had said that they were going after Hisamura, so it was natural for me to be concerned with that.
But as far as the conversation goes I recalled what Hisamura said and so I cant help but blush at that.
Ku That guy Hes not shy about telling others about that kind of stuff.
I was a bit nervous when he said that he likes someone.
I thought he might say that we were dating.
But he didnt tell them that, instead he made them realize that their love was unrequited.
I was so happy to hear that, that I had to fight off the grin coming onto my face.
I even had a secret rendezvous with him after the party. In a nearby park.
I was a little nervous contacting him to meet up through RINE.
Its hard to imagine him refusing but he seems to be surrounded by girls and it looked like he was enjoying talking to them.
I wondered what would happen if he refused but my fears were unfounded.
He responded right away and said he would like to talk with me.
I saw the reply and resisted grinning instantly.
I want to congratulate myself for putting up with it so well at that time, because Im grinning right now just thinking about it.
But if I had to voice a regret, its that I made Hisamura wait even though I invited him myself.
There was no excuse, the girls around me refused to let me leave.
I apologized profusely, but Hisamura didnt seem the least bit concerned with that.
With that, the secret party started. With just the two of us this time round.
We started it off by talking about todays tournament which then went on to the punishment game from Tojoin-san.
It was then when I confided in him what was worrying me the whole match.
Should we reveal our relationship to others or not?
I was more jealous than I expected when I saw Hisamura being wooed by another girl.
Tojoin-san had done a lot of things to keep women away from Shigemoto, and now I can understand a little of what she was feeling.
I was still worried, what if the person I liked was taken by another girl?
I probably wouldnt feel like this if Hisamura talked to any other girl. But this girl was the one who declared that she was aiming for him.
Thats probably why I felt so jealous and insecure.
As for me, I want to keep my relationship with Hisamura a secret.
I want it to be a secret between us, to be a treasure of sorts.
However if I do that, other girls would make passes at him constantly.
I thought that if I was going to have such anxious thoughts, I might as well make it public.
When I told him everything. He took care of my feelings of wanting to hide our relationship and even offered suggestions to help alleviate my insecurities.
Its true that if we both announced that we were dating someone and kept who it was a secret, it could stop us from being wooed by other people.
It was a simple solution that had never occurred to me.
He was extremely considerate to me and gave a very good solution in return.
He was kind, dependable and cute
Ahhh. I love you Tsukasa
As I soaked in the bath and relaxed my cheeks, my heart involuntarily spilled out those words.
If this had spilled out in front of Tsukasa, I probably would have been dyed red and blurted out a bunch of excuses in return.
Im not sure what excuse I can make for saying I love you out loud though.
But now I get to have my own alone time.
It doesnt feel that bad to mutter about your boyfriend or rather, it feels quite nice
Mmm Ah right, I must inform Tojoin-san about the Punishment game.
I suddenly recalled that after going back to my room and looking at my phone.
When she and Tsukasa were having a chat, the topic came up and I asked Tsukasa what kind of punishment he would like to give her.
The entire match was just me trying my best not to be punished so I havent really thought of a punishment for her.
Tojoin-san was the one who proposed the punishment game so it would be impossible for me to come up with a punishment there and then.
So I consulted Tsukasa to come up with a punishment together.
With that, Tsukasa came up with a very good punishment.
Of course, ethics is out of question, it was a punishment that had her do something good.
But for Tojoin-san, it must be extremely humiliating.
Ill have to RINE Tojoin-san to tell her that.
Tojoin-san and I had exchanged our RINEs when we started eating lunch together.
But this will be the first message I actually sent to her, since we never necessarily had to message each other about anything.
I opened her contact and typed it in.
Tojoin-san, Hello. I hope you havent forgotten about the punishment game, have you now? The punishment has been decided.
I typed and sent it to her.
As expected I didnt receive a reply right away, but it did say she was online 5 minutes ago.
Of course I remember, so, whats the punishment?
I grimaced as I wrote down the details of the punishment.
I can already see Tojoin-sans face in my mind.
The punishment will either be on Saturday or Sunday.
Sent, and read immediately.
Its been a while since its been read and I finally got a response.
I cant believe youre making me do that. Youre really good. I wonder if this is something you came up with on your own?
No, it was mostly Hisamuras idea. As soon as he heard about the punishment game. He immediately came up with this.
Ill be honest here.
Hisamuras first name is Tsukasa, but
Ill only call Tsukasa by his first name when its just the two of us, of course, just like when Tsukasa calls me Sei-chan when were alone together.
I knew it. All right, can we do it on Saturday? Ill clear my schedule.
Yes, have fun with your punishment game.
If Im going to do this, Ill do this for real.
And thats where our RINE ended.
