Ch 209 - 30 June, A night call from Chika 02
Kouta was stunned for a moment because basically Chika was not someone who liked to call him like this. Most conversations between the two of them came by messaging each other using messaging apps after all. He then went to separate himself from the group for a while before accepting the call.
"Kouta-kun— Do you have any free time!?"
Kouta could hear Chika's cheerful voice. At least from her voice Kouta knew that Chika was not in trouble and the like. He was a bit relieved about that before finally answering her question.
"Well, this question really came out of the blue. In that case, is it for today?"
"Ah, yes. I know this is quite sudden and I'm sorry about it."
"Okay— Thankfully, I have no appointments with anyone today. So I have time to see you."
"Really! Thank goodness. What time can you come? I can wait at this place— I'll send you the location. Ah, as a thank you, I'll treat you!"
It was a normal phone call inviting a casual meet-up. However, because the invitation was sudden and there was also a feeling of discrepancy coming from the attitude Chika gave. Kouta felt there was something behind all this. It wasn't long before he got a meeting place in a messaging app called Rine, where the meeting place was a prominent sushi restaurant with a conveyor belt.
Kouta didn't know what was going on or what Chika was planning. So he didn't have many other plans, other than to meet with Chika. He then replied to Chika's message by giving her a time when he could go to the appointment.
Kouta spent his time with his circle group until they all dispersed before he headed to the sushi restaurant where he made a promise with Chika.Of course, he told that he had a sudden appointment towards Eriri and Utaha who gave slightly different reactions. Eriri who basically introduced Chika to Kouta reacted that she was looking forward to seeing her acquaintance fall like her. Meanwhile, Utaha gave a monotonous reaction.
Kouta could only apologize to Utaha and promised to give her time while giving her a warm kiss. He had really become a playboy to say that even in front of his other girlfriend, Eriri.
At this moment, Kouta was already winning as a person and he could have just quit because all of this was enough. However, as a human being who has greed. Of course, Kouta will not stop to keep getting other girls, especially the heroine he knows. One of them was the girl he was going to meet.
Fujiwara Chika, who was already seated at the sushi restaurant, Kouta could see that she was dressed in everyday clothes that added to the cuteness she already had, different from her usual black uniform. This time she wore a light pink dress that slightly matched her long pink hair. She waved her hand when she saw Kouta walking into the restaurant. Kouta walked straight to the bench where Chika was.
"Oh, you came just in time. Thank goodness— Once again I apologize for inviting you out of the blue like this. So please, you can order what you like. At the same time, please don't order too much and expensive stuff. My budget is not unlimited after all." Chika said with a slightly pleading face to Kouta to understand the position she was in.
"Ha— Okay—" Kouta sighed for a moment and he looked at the menu before ordering some fresh fruit drink.
"Look— This particular sashimi in this restaurant is good— you know?" Chika spoke as she took the tuna sashimi from the conveyor belt and placed it in front of Kouta. She gave the sushi to Kouta with a sweet smile, but somehow a nervous one too. Once again giving the impression that this girl has a plan of her own.
Even so, Kouta enjoyed the sashimi given by Chika. He was a little grateful that his body in this world was different from his past life, as he was a little allergic to shrimp and didn't really like eating sashimi and the like. Since being in this world, he did not have such problems. Was it because the raw fish in this world was better than in her previous life? Well, it might be because the food in the anime world can make people take off their clothes and sigh in pleasure.
"So what actually happened?" Kouta spoke after he had eaten several plates of the sushi that had caught his eye. He could see Chika's eyebrows furrowing with each plate Kouta took. Especially when he took something that expensive, but Chika's smiles and sweet gestures are well preserved.
"Ah, well— Actually—" In an instant Chika's face became cramped because she had to explain what happened. She played with her finger not only to calm herself but also to give a cute impression to make Kouta be more kind to her.
Chika told me what happened a few days ago when she sent a message to Kouta in the student council room with Shinomiya Kaguya. Before she took a minute to look at one of the photos of Kouta that she had. Only, it seems that this time she is looking at the photo of Kouta who is only wearing swimming trunks. And get caught by Kaguya looking at his abs—
"Geez, what are you doing?" Kouta replied with a feeling that was a little amused by what Chika told him. Basically, he doesn't feel anything if his photos are seen by others. It's just that it seems that for Japanese people privacy is important, including countries that are strict in this regard.
"Well— I can't myself— I guess—" Chika answered honestly with a blush on her face.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about that. I don't mind small matters like this."
"That's— Actually—"
Chika still seems to be acting guilty about something which suggests there is still something she hasn't told us.
'I think you still haven't told me everything." Kouta spoke as he unhesitatingly went back to picking up the sushi that was spinning on the conveyor belt.
"Ah— Ugh, Well— Therefore, Kaguya asked many things— and in the end I was forced to lie and— said that the two of us are a couple. So I'm sorry, can we pretend to be dating?" Chika finally told Kouta why this meeting happened.
Meanwhile, Kouta could only nod slowly and in his brain what he thought was that this was another cliche in anime, especially romcoms. Pretending to be a boyfriend arc.
