NOVEL NEXT Extra 3: Home Dating Advise
Sunday. The weather was fine. A perfect day for a date.
“……”
On such a day, Chinatsu-san was lying on the bed in my room reading manga.
She seemed to be concentrating a lot and we didn’t talk for a while. I also leaned my back against the bed and read manga.
As high school students, we didn’t have unlimited money. If we went out every time it was a nice day, we would soon run out of pocket money.
Because of this situation, today was a date at home. I was nervous because it was the first time I invited Chinatsu-san to my house. Of course, I would not do anything to make her realize how nervous I am. It’s cool for a man to be relaxed.
“Fufu ..”
With a snap, I heard the book close. My attention was focused on my ears.
“That was interesting.”
The impression leaked out with an exhale. I struck a victory pose in my heart.
It was my personal favorite manga. I was happy to see that what I liked she also liked.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I came all the way to Masa-kun’s house, but I only read manga…”
“No, no, no, I recommended it, so don’t worry about it. Anyway, did you enjoy the manga?”
“Yes, very much.”
Chinatsu-san nodded her head in satisfaction, which was very cute. We talked about the manga for a while.
I was not sure what I would do on a date at home, but I think I succeeded in making her relax. Chinatsu-san was extremely nervous when she entered my room for the first time.
Now she was lying on my bed and relaxing. Certainly, her smell would help me sleep soundly tonight.
“By the way. I see that this space on the bookshelf is awfully empty.”
Saying so, Chinatsu-san pointed to a bookshelf lined with manga. As she said, there was an unnatural blank space.
“I’ve got some manga I’m lending to a friend. …”
“I see.”
Chinatsu-chan’s attention was easily diverted, as if she did not have such deep doubts.
The place Chinatsu-chan pointed out to me was the space where I had laid out my life’s bible, shoujo manga. As you would expect, I was embarrassed to be seen by girls as having shoujo manga in my possession.
Now, I had them tightly hidden away. I was so busy hiding them that I hadn’t even thought of filling the empty space.
“Hey, hey, Chinatsu-san. There’s a photography app. Would you like to try taking some pictures?”
“What, a picture?”
“It can do all kinds of processing and stuff. It’s quite interesting.”
Chinatsu-chan was leaning forward saying, “He~” her eyes expressing her curiosity
“Let’s try taking a picture once. Yes, look this way.”
“What, wait, suddenly──”
She was embarrassed, but before she could say anything, I clicked the photo. I was able to get a shot of her looking super cute.
“Hey! Masa-kun, you did it too soon!”
“But I got a cute shot.”
Chinatsu-san was super cute and her cheeks were dyed when she heard me say, “I got a cute shot.” Ah, this was also a photo opportunity.
“Y-you can edit this picture, right?”
“Chinatsu-chan, you are cute even without that.”
“M-Masa-kun! Don’t tease me…”
“Even though you know I’m not.”
“Ugh …, Masa-kun’s mean …”
Chinatsu-chan’s expression was a mixture of angry and happy emotions. Obviously, the percentage of happiness was higher, so this was another cute expression. I wish there was a continuous shooting function.
“Mou~ now I’m going to take a picture of you, Masa-kun.”
“Oh, me?”
I don’t mind. Faster than I could say that, Chinatsu-chan opened her mouth with a bright red face.
“
I-I want a stylish picture of Masa-kun. …”
“Take pictures until you’re satisfied, Chinatsu-chan!”
I said with a smug look on my face.
Chinatsu-chan begrudgingly pointed the camera of her phone at me. I did my best to make a cool face.
“Pfft. Masa-kun, don’t make a funny face just for the sake of being funny.”
“……”
Chinatsu-chan giggled when she saw my face. Huh? I thought I did my best to make a good looking face, right? Why are you reacting like I showed you a funny face?
We took each other’s pictures and processed them using an app. It was astonishing how my face became like a different person. Chinatsu-chanhad also modified her facial parts, but it proved to me that she was cute enough as she was.
“All right, let’s take a picture together this time.”
“Sure.”
Both Chinatsu-chan and I started having fun, and we both put our cheeks together for the shoot. Our enjoyment outweighed our embarrassment, and we were able to act boldly.
“Chiyuu!”
“Kyah!?”
I took advantage of the opportunity and took a picture of me kissing her on the cheek.
“M-Mou~~…”
Chinatsu-chan showed a slightly angry attitude, but the photo was saved securely on her smartphone.
“Nnnn……”
When that happened, I escalated and next time I clicked a picture when I kissed her properly on the lips.
I kissed her again and again. I noticed that my phone was not in my hand. My free hand was touching hers.
“Ma-Masa-kun …”
“Chi-Chinatsu-chan …”
Before I knew it, I had pushed her down on the bed.
My room, which was not so large. It should be a familiar room, but somehow it felt less real now.
I could only think of Chinatsu-chan’s presence that was bewitching me.
“……”
The air changed and we became silent. There was hesitation to go any further.
Chinatsu-chan’s big eyes were shaking. But she gently closed her eyes as if she had made some kind of decision.
“I … will do my best to be honest in front of you, Masa-kun. …”
“Chinatsu-chan,…”
Are you sure? Now that I’m in the mood, can I just go on with it?
I was lost. But I couldn’t resist the cuteness of Chinatsu-chan, who said this.
I brought my face close to hers. The next kiss was the one that would clearly advance the relationship.
“Onii-. There’s something I’d like to borrow for a little while… ah.”
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and before I could answer it, it was opened. The sister who came in witnessed the scene just before the kiss perfectly.
“……”
“…… Masa-kun? What!?”
“S-Sorry to bother you!”
I froze. Chinatsu-chan, who was carried by the atmosphere, woke up at once, and my sister, realizing her blunder, fled in a hurry.
Needless to say, things got awkward with Chinatsu-chan after this. I couldn’t stop regretting it. ……
Today’s lesson learned. Home dating allows you to relax and get into a good mood without the eyes of others, but you have to consider if your family was at home. I sincerely hope you don’t fail like me ….
(T/N: I should have a girlfriend to do that my bro. Anyway, Novel ends. Thanks for reading it, I hope you enjoyed it.
