15 - Date?

Cring Cring Cring * Alarm Sound *

The sound woke me from my sleep, I turned off the alarm on my watch and see what time it is. It turns out it's 6:00 a.m, because today is a holiday so I don't need to go to class. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face.

"Today I have no activities so the right time to buy something I need" I muttered as I washed my face. After that I sat back in my bed.

Because I want to buy something so I have to go to the shop, but I don't know the shop that sells the items that I want. Therefore I need someone who will guide me to shop, who do you think is appropriate to guide me?

I took my cellphone and saw the contact of the people who were there, apparently there were only two contacts there, moreover both of them were women. It says Ri-Chan and Ichinose, neither of them is from my class.

I could have invited Ri-Chan to accompany me to shop, but I already knew what would happen in the end if I went with her, which was a chess match. At the end of our shopping, Ri-Chan will definitely ask me to play chess, it's fun to play chess with her, but when it comes to playing chess, she will continue playing until she is satisfied. If I don't want to continue, she can play chess herself.

Even though I can play chess, I'm not as good as Ri-Chan, so sometimes I lose and sometimes I win, but most of our matches end in draws. But the main reason why I don't want her to accompany me shopping is because I don't want to bother her.

So now all that's left is Ichinose, I just met her a few days ago and every break she always eats with me because that table is our favorite. And because she also told me that if I need help let her know so Ichinose is the best choice.

Besides Ichinose's communication skills are better than mine because she can communicate normally unlike me. If I were the one who communicated with other people I would find fault with it and use it, like I did when I was in middle school when the shop made the goods give away for free.

Even though it's good, but only for me, the store will suffer losses. I really would not hesitate to do it but for some reason since that incident I became normal in communicating.

Seen two people sitting in a chair provided by the canteen. They were in the school cafeteria and had finished eating their food. After that there was a waiter who tidied their table, because there was nothing to do anymore so one of them spoke up.

"You can't do that, Airien" Said a silver-haired woman with orange eyes who rebuked a black-haired man with violet eyes, of course that man was Ren who was called Airien.

"What do you mean?" Ren asked the woman briefly for not understanding what she was talking about.

"Yesterday I saw you ... You did something that made the shop owner give you the items you wanted for free, right, Airien?" The woman said firmly to Ren.

"Right, is there something wrong with that?" Ren replied curtly and turned to ask the woman.

"That's a bad action, even if you get a profit but the shop gets a loss, basically it's a bad action!" Decisively the woman was lecturing Ren again.

"Hmmm, you are a naive woman, Edith. Humans will do anything to make them profit and they are happy. Moreover, I also do what I want" Ren replied, smiling at the woman named Edith.

"Hmph !! Bad actions are still bad actions," said Edith, puffing out her cheeks.

Ren then stood up from his chair and walked away from the canteen which of course was followed by Edith.

"I didn't expect that you could change me a little, Edith," I muttered, suddenly remembering what happened in the past.

Never mind now it's not important anymore, I will ask for help Ichinose to accompany me. So I pressed the button to call her and soon she answered my call.

[Hello ..... Sakayanagi-Kun, what's up?]

[Do you have activities today?]

[Nothing, so what?]

[I need your help, if you don't have activities then meet me at the convenience store near the dorm at 8:00 a.m.]

[My help? What help does Sakayanagi-Kun need?]

What should I say? Did I just tell the truth that I didn't know where to buy the things I wanted. no, maybe I can avoid it.

[I want to shop ... Don't forget you wear nice clothes]

[E-eh? What does it mean to wear nice clothes?]

Hmmm, it seems I managed to avoid it, even though she is a woman who is always calm but who would have thought could be bullied like this.

[Because I want to go to various shops so it's only natural for you to wear nice clothes?]

[Just the two of us?]

[Yes, I'll see you later]

I turned off my cellphone first because I wanted her to be curious about my words. I will explain about this when she and I have met in person because it is not convenient to also talk through cellphone.

Then I continued to read the book last night I had not had time to finish until 07:20, then I went to take a shower and after that dress. I wore a plain white shirt and a black jacket, not forgetting I also wore the scarf that Ri-Chan gave me on my neck. Even though it looks the same as when I was discharged briefly from the hospital, the clothes I used were different except for the scarf.

Because everything was ready and the clock showed 7.50 so I went to see Ichinose. In less than 10 minutes I arrived at the place that I decided to meet. And I haven't seen Ichinose either, which means she hasn't arrived yet.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Sakayanagi-Kun" Said Ichinose who was approaching me.

It turns out that she did what I ordered her to wear, nice clothes. She currently wears a casual yellow-white dress, her long hair adds to her good impression. It is very suitable for traveling as it is now.

"No, I just arrived," I replied, smiling at her.

"So where are we going?" she asked while returning my smile and wanted to know where I was going to take her.

"Hmmm, I'm not good at finding where to go ... And aren't women supposed to lead?" I say while putting on my smile.

"Eh? Wasn't Sakayanagi-Kun the one who invited me? ... And also what was the meaning of those words?" Ichinose asked as if she did not understand the sign from me.

Yes, I had guessed from the start that Ichinose didn't have any love experience, neither did I. Even though I don't have any love experience, I used to go out with a woman that is Ri-Chan, and also I already know what love is. She also might know about love, it's better that I avoid it as I planned.

"Hmmm, I don't know of a shop around here, so I ask you to guide me," I told her honestly.

"Oh, well then" she replied who agreed to be my guide.

We finally walked to go walking the road. I don't currently use my Device, because it will be the center of attention if I wear it while shopping. Because I don't use my Device, I should rest or go where there is a chair.

"Now, Ichinose, do you know what we are doing?" I say while looking at her, I ask her because I want to know what she thinks.

"Hmm, I was the one to show the shop that Sakayanagi-Kun wanted to visit, right?" The answer. Apparently she really did not understand about this.

"What do you think it's called if a man goes with a woman and wears nice clothes. What's more, most places go alone?" I say with a smile to avoid it.

"... What is it called? ... Da-dating?" she answered nervously and I could also see that her face had turned slightly red.

I managed to avoid it and it turns out she found out about it, good. Every time I go with Ri-Chan and talk like that she always answers 'family' which makes me fail to prevent him.

"Right ... And also I haven't had breakfast, is there a good breakfast place?" Said me who changed the subject because I was hungry.

"Yes, let's go there first," said Ichinose, who guided me to a place where I could have breakfast. She was also distracted from the previous conversation.

We finally went to the place where we were going to have breakfast, Ichinose said that she hadn't had breakfast either so it was just right for us to have breakfast together. Not long after i arrived at the place, after entering we immediately took a seat and ordered food.

"Oh yeah, Sakayanagi-Kun, you don't use your walking aids?" Asked Ichinose, who was already aware that I wasn't using my tool.

"No, it will attract attention" I said honestly.

"But will that be okay?" Ichinose asked again, maybe she was worried about me.

"As long as I don't force myself then it's okay"

I have told about my injury, I am not naive to tell this to Ichinose but because my situation has been known by many people so there is no harm in telling me why I could be like this.

Not long after that the breakfast we ordered had arrived, and therefore we ate it. A few minutes later we had finished the breakfast and left the store to continue our Date, maybe.

"Oh yeah, is it okay for us to walk like this while tomorrow is exam day?" Ask Ichinose, who is aware that tomorrow is the day of the exam.

"I'm fine with that. I'm also sure that you're fine too, right?"

Said me who was sure that I could take the exam tomorrow as well as Ichinose.

"Alright, where are we going now?"

"It's the woman's job to determine the next location"

Ichinose then guided me again to a place I had never visited. Sometimes she buys something and sometimes she just looks around, it seems like she is really worried about me because every time she goes somewhere she tells me to rest for a while.

We went to the clothes shop too because Ichinose wanted to buy clothes while I determined whether it was suitable or not. After that I asked her to go to the bookstore to see if there were new books or not but apparently there was none and so we decided to go to the next shop.

This time we were at the place to eat because it was noon and it was time for lunch. We ordered the same food and so we immediately ate it. After we finished we didn't leave this place before, Ichinose spoke to me.

"Oh yes, a few days ago I met your classmates, if I'm not mistaken, Ayanokouiji-Kun and Sudou-Kun," said Ichinose who told me if she had ever met Ayanokouiji and Sudou.

"Oh, let me guess the other class would incite them" I said, guessing what was happening there.

"That's right, more precisely Sudou-Kun who was instigated. The one who instigated it was Ryuuen leader from class 1-C," Ichinose said.

Yes my guess is right, the other class wants to destroy class D and start with Sudou. The peacetime in class might soon be over and replaced with a bleak period, because there will be problems that occur in class D.

"Hmmm, the problem will befall class D" I say, convinced that there will be a problem in class D. Soon

"Do you need my help to avoid this problem?" Said Ichinose who offered to help me.

"No need. This is my class problem, and also I do not want to involve you" I said with a smile, at the end of the word I intend to avoid her again.

"A-ah, I-okay then" she replied with her head down, I could see that her face was slightly flushed.

After that we left the place to eat and continued our date. I only see a few school students who are walking, maybe they focus on their dormitory to study.

"Where are we going now?" Ask me because Ichinose has realized that she is my guide.

"Hmmm, how about a cinema? There's a new film there ... Does Sakayanagi-Kun want to watch a movie?" she said, asking for your opinion if the next place is the cinema.

"Hmm, OK, no problem," my reply agreed to go to the cinema.

We went to the cinema and Ichinose chose the film. I could tell that the genre of the film was ROMANCE. I know that the film genre is indeed a favorite of women. Yes, absolutely no problem watching movies like that with women.

For some reason while watching Ichinose like Living the movie even when there was an incident where a man almost died for the sake of his woman, she had tears in her eyes. Is that sad, isn't it natural for a man to protect his woman even if his life is put? Maybe the way people think is different.

After the film was over we discussed about the film, although I didn't really understand but I tried to live up to Ichinose's expectations. When we were outside the cinema I saw a shop that sold the items I wanted to buy.

"Follow me" I then grabbed Ichinose's left hand and ran to the shop I was referring to.

"E-ehh" Said Ichinose who was surprised because I suddenly held her hand.

She also ran along because I held her hand, she came running with her face flushed with embarrassment, maybe. Not long after I finally arrived in front of the shop, finally I was able to buy the items I wanted to help me in the future.
