Chapter 40

"Kaori, I'm going to help Miyuki-chan for a bit," I said to Kaori who prepared her lunch.

"Ah, that's why you asked bread for lunch yesterday night. Okay! I will eat with Kaguya-san and Chika-chan." Kaori gives a thump up and said.

I walk to Miyuki's seat and intentionally hit the desk.

*Duk*

"Whoa! Can you stop doing that, Izumi..." Miyuki said with a relieved sigh.

"It just a test if you still in a daze. Anyway, you didn't bring lunch as I told you yesterday right?" I make a random excuse and said.

"More or less. What are we going to do anyway?" Shirogane curiously asked.

"Good question, private Miyuki. Today's operation is 'Make an impression to Maki. Befriend her if you can'. I name it 'Operation Interact'." I said with a stern voice like a sergeant as I put an army hat that suddenly existed.

"What?! And where did you get that hat?!" Shirogane frantically asked.

"Forget about it. Now, tell me private Miyuki. Are you ready?" I asked fiercely.

"E-eh? No way right?" Shirogane asked nervously.

"Yosh, let's go." I pull him and walk out of the classroom.

"*sigh* Fine..." Shirogane said resignedly.

Then I take Miyuki to the place Maki usually eats. It looks like Maki has not had a crush to Tsubasa at this point in time. I can only assume she will like him before becoming a second year.

Maki was eating with Erika and Karen who has been her friend since middle school and Nagisa Kashiwagi who has been her best friend since kindergarten.

Because right now is lunchtime, many students can be seen eating here. Meanwhile, we were looking suspiciously from the shadow of the building while munching the bread Nanaka made for me.

"So... what should I do?" Miyuki asked as he slowly eats the bread.

"My intuition said, Maki will go to the vending machine to buy drinks in five minutes. I need you to go there too at that time." I chew the delicious bread and said.

"Hah? The intuition you said?" Miyuki looked at me weirdly and said.

"Don't worry about it. My intuition never wrong." I confidently said.

"*sigh* Then what should I do after that?" Miyuki sighed then asked.

"You queued behind her and buy juice for two of us. You can act like you always do at that time." I wisely said.

"Did you actually want me to be there just to buy juices for two of us?"

"No way, right? Anyway, you can just act as you always do. The only advice I can give you is, 'Be yourself and don't forget to talk to her'." I wisely said.

"*sigh* Fine, I will try."

"Good. Now it's the time, look she is going to the vending machine. Don't chicken out and don't forget to buy the juices. I didn't bring any drinks here..." We looked at Maki who walk leisurely to the vending machine and I made him hurriedly go there too.

Even though this looks like a simple thing without any happening, I am actually planning to intentionally make a happening with a bit of magic. Maybe like making the coin in Maki's hand fall down or suddenly the vending machine broken.

I observed Miyuki and Maki from afar and wait for the right situation to use some magic. But, it seems luck always been on my side. Suddenly the coin that Maki's hold, falls down under the vending machine.

Because the school's girl uniform was a dress, naturally she can't bend to get the coin back. She looks so genuinely troubled by it, and Miyuki is... fidgeting behind her.

'Come on! You can do it, Miyuki-chan!' I cheered for him in my mind.

Fortunately, he was able to help Maki to take the coin albeit nervously. But it's fine, at least he can do it. After that, Maki sincerely thanked him then asked his name. Astonishingly Miyuki was able to chat with her for a while, even causing Maki to smile. Not long after that, Maki waved her hand and back to her friend while Miyuki back to my place.

"So, how is it?" I asked.

"....I am so nervous. But we become an acquaintance." Miyuki looks like a guy who just came back from war said with a happy smile.

"You did well, Miyuki-chan..." I patted his shoulder and smilingly said. Then we head back to the class. Today's result: Objective Cleared!

"But where are the juices?" I asked.

"Ah?!"

---

I am currently walking in the school corridor third-year section. I am going to do a surprise visit to Nanaka's class to have an after school date with her. Then I arrived at Nanaka's class, class 3-A.

"Nanaka! Here." I gently waved my hand from the door and shouted. Nanaka, who was preparing her stuff looked at me and waved back at me with a smile. Because I hastily went here after the bell rung, there are many students who have not gone from the class looking at me.

"Kotegawa-san, is Kitahara-sama really your boyfriend?!" A girl approached Nanaka and asked.

"Indeed, he is my boyfriend," Nanaka answered with a happy smile.

"How lucky... I want to be his girlfriend too..." Another girl said dreamily.

"Fufufu..." Nanaka just smilingly looks at her.

"Anyway, because he is here I'm going first okay?" Nanaka excuse herself and immediately walk to my side.

"Did I surprise you?" I smilingly asked.

"Fufu, you certainly did," Nanaka answered joyfully.

"Let's do an after school date!"

"Nn!" Nanaka nodded eagerly with a smile.

Then Nanaka and I leisurely walk to the mall beside the station. Like a normal date, Nanaka brought me to some women's clothing stores first.

"Can you pick a dress for me?" Nanaka asked.

"I think you have more fashion sense than me, though?" I said.

"But... I want a dress you choose for me..." Nanaka said with a spoiled tone while her cheek blushed a bit.

"There is no way I can say no to that right?" I looked at her affectionately and said. Then I pick a navy blue preppy style sailor bow tie shirt suspender dress. This lovely dress was actually more suited for a girl with smaller b.r.e.a.s.ts but, I wanted to see Nanaka wear this.

"Hehe, you like this kind outfit?" Nanaka said with a teasing smile.

"Yes, please wear it for me." I shamelessly said while I looked at her with serious eyes.

"Sure, Izu-kun." Nanaka smilingly answered. Then she went inside the fitting room to try the outfit. I am eagerly waiting for her to come out, but suddenly I was dragged to the fitting room by Nanaka.

"How is it? Izu-kun?" Nanaka shyly asked as she slowly rotating her body to let me see all of it.

"...." I can't say anything as I instantly mesmerized when I see her wearing the dress. The impact was too destructive.

"Izu-kun?" Nanaka tilted her head and said.

"Nanaka, forget about wearing this dress outside. Please wear it only for me someday." I grasped her shoulder and said with a thoughtful expression.

"Hahaha... You are so naughty, Izu-kun. I actually already have that plan even if you didn't say it. I mean, that's why I bring you inside. There is no way I show this to other people..." Nanaka laughed and said.

"Good... I can't wait for that." I excitedly said.

After that, I pay for the dress, and we continue our after-school date for some time. Because it is evening already, we can't spend too long in the mall as we still use our school uniform. Then we decided to go home.

"Nanaka, how about we sit there for a while?" I suggested while pointed at the riverside under the bridge.

"Sure, Izu-kun." Nanaka nodded approvingly and said. Next, I sit comfortably on the grass-filled riverside, and Nanaka sits beside me while gently leaning her head on my shoulder.

"Which university are you going to enter Nanaka?" I asked.

"Depend on you." Nanaka immediately answered.

"Hmmm... I guess I would just enter the Izu tech in this town, so Shiori doesn't need to move to another town in high school. Besides, I only attended college for the youth anyway." I replied after thinking for a bit.

"I see... then I would enter that university," Nanaka said.

"How about Oumi's women university? It was the sister of Izu tech anyway. And their building was near." I powerfully suggested.

"Why, though?" Nanaka curiously asked.

"Because Izu tech would be full of man. I don't want you in that kind of place." I honestly answered.

"Fufufu...Fine, Izu-kun." Nanaka looked at me amazed then smilingly said.

"But, are you sure? This is about your future after all." I asked with a serious expression.

"*chuckled* What are you talking about, Izu-kun? My future is to be with you forever ." Nanaka gently explained with an affectionate expression.

".... Nanaka, you really...." I looked back at Nanaka affectionately while my heart warmed. I also felt my face getting hot.

"Hehe... Are you embarrassed, Izu-kun?" Nanaka asked with a teasing smile.

"... how about this, then?" I said then I suddenly kissed her lovely lips.

"I-Izu-kun.... people are looking..." Nanaka shyly said.

"Hehe... who is embarrassed now, Nanaka?" I smirked and said.

"Izu-kun... you bully..." Nanaka said with a spoiled tone. I who cannot hold back from the cuteness passionately kissed her lips again without minding people's gaze. Nanaka resigned and started to reply to my kiss. After a few minutes, we separated our lips and the trace of saliva can be seen from our mouth.

"Uuu...." Nanaka lowered her head with her face blushing and smoke coming out from her face.

"Hehe..." I smiled then I gently take her waist and hug her while she placed her head on my shoulder. Then we continue to sit in the riverside while the wind breezing gently until the night came.
