Can I Still Be Your Heroine Even Though I'm Your Teacher?-Chapter 3Volume 2 .4 - Pretend Lovers
Pretend Lovers 4
“Yuunagi-kun, wake up!”
When I open my eyes, Tenjō-san is peering into my face.
“Oh, when did we get married?”
Being woken up by such a beauty is the best. I can start my morning in a happy mood.
“This is no time to be sleep-talking! Kaguya-chan is missing!”
“Huh?”
When I wake up, indeed, Kaguya is nowhere to be seen.
“I thought she might be in the bathroom, but her bag and shoes are gone too.”
“She must have gone and done something crazy again.”
It seems she left the house quietly while I was sleeping.
Checking my smartphone, there’s a message from Kaguya.
【Kaguya: Let’s meet on-site at the promised time.】
“Then what was the point of staying over!”
This is why I hate being pushed around by Kaguya.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I’m heading to Odaiba as planned. She’s getting a lecture when I meet her.”
“Yuunagi-kun, don’t treat her too much like a child, okay?”
“You’re taking Kaguya’s side now?”
“She is my future sister-in-law, that’s why.”
It seems that Tenjō-san had some conversation with Kaguya while I was sleeping.
“That’s something to look forward to in the future.”
For now, I decide to change my clothes and start taking off my loungewear.
“Ah, you’re changing here?”
“It’s my room.”
“But I’m here.”
“——please don’t get excited over a guy’s body or underwear.”
“I won’t!”
Her immune response to such things is just too cute.
“Or maybe… should we continue what we started in the gym storage room the other day? Here, how about a wake-up kiss?”
“I won’t do that!”
The person I like is so cute that I can’t help but want to tease her.
After changing clothes, I put on my backpack and left the house.
I take the train from my local station, switch to the Yurikamome line at Shinbashi Station, and while passing through the Rainbow Bridge, I enjoy the panoramic view of Tokyo’s waterfront area on my way to Odaiba.
I arrive at the destination, DiverCity Tokyo, thirty minutes before the promised time.
Looking up at the imposing white figure of the Unicorn Gundam standing on the ground, my man’s heart is irresistibly stirred.
I really want to look at it a bit longer, but I still headed to the meeting spot early.
“Persistent, aren’t you. Go away.”
My little sister was being hit on.
Even though Kaguya had an annoyed expression on her face, the two men in their twenties kept pestering her relentlessly.
“Shall I call the police?”
I spoke up while holding my smartphone in one hand.
“You’re late.”
“I shouldn’t be late, though.”
“Still, you’re late.”
Kaguya quickly moved behind me.
Realizing I was younger, the men became blatantly condescending.
Oh come on, changing your attitude depending on who you’re dealing with is so lame.
“This girl is still in junior high school. She falls under the metropolitan ordinance. Maybe I should really report you now.”
“Hey, why are you talking with that tone?”
“I’m this kid’s older brother! Go away, or I’ll seriously report you!”
I raised my voice.
As the passersby started to look our way, the men finally left the scene.
“Yuu-kun, thank you!”
Kaguya hugged me from behind while sounding happy.
“You okay?”
I pulled her away and faced my stepsister.
“I’m fine. I’m used to this sort of thing.”
“That’s annoying. Maybe you should wear clothes that are less revealing?”
I blurted out like an old lady giving advice.
I wasn’t used to bluffing, and I was actually scared inside.
It was lucky they retreated so quickly.
“Grrr! That kind of comment is seriously disappointing when I put so much effort into getting ready for our date.”
“You look cute, and it suits you.”
“You should have started with that.”
“Alright, let’s get our shopping done quickly.”
Ignoring Kaguya, I moved ahead.
“It’s a date! Don’t talk about it like it’s some kind of obligation. Hey!”
Kaguya emphasized that it was a date and grabbed my hand.
“Isn’t it hard to walk like this?”
“A date is supposed to be like this.”
“It’s embarrassing to hold hands with my stepsister, though.”
“Strangers won’t see us as siblings, so don’t worry. We’re pretending to be lovers today!”
“Pretend lovers?”
“That’s right. Just for today, don’t think of me as your stepsister.”
“That’s a tall order.”
“Just do it!”
Humming to herself, Kaguya headed towards the floor where the store she was looking for was located.
“So, why did you leave early this morning? Tōmi-san was worried about you too.”
We rode the escalator to ascend to the upper floor.
“Once I actually stayed over, I felt too much at home in Yuu-kun’s room.”
“What’s the problem with that?”
“I just felt like I was really becoming Yuu-kun’s stepsister…”
Kaguya seemed frightened.
“I’d welcome that with open arms.”
Kaguya turned around quickly, bringing her face close to mine.
“I don’t like that!”
“Don’t move around recklessly on the escalator.”
“Treating me like a child again! Hmph, you can only say that for now.”
I certainly felt intimidated while standing in front of the place she had brought me to.
The first stop was a lingerie shop.
The store, usually unrelated to men and filled with pale colors, is crammed with various shapes and colors of underwear, making it very difficult to know where to look.
“Come on, help me choose.”
Kaguya grinned.
“That’s impossible.”
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
“What kind of style does Yuu-kun like? Sexy? Cute?”
“It’s hard to even look directly.”
“Wow, you’re blushing.”
“I’ll be waiting outside.”
I was held back even as I tried to escape.
“Don’t be embarrassed. It’s just fabric. No different from normal clothes.”
“This small piece of fabric works wonders on men.”
“You can check out how they looked when I tried them on.”
“No, you’re on your own.”
“Look, here’s a sexy one. Oh, there’s a hole in such a place.”
Kaguya pointed to an adult design at the front of the store.
“Junior high school students are not ready for this!”
“Is that so?”
“Spare me the underwear, please.”
Kaguya looked satisfied with my desperate plea.
“Yuu-kun, it’s funny how you treat me like a child. Now look at you.”
“If you want to laugh, go ahead.”
I said, turning my back to the store.
Your provocation was a great success.
“Now, wait a moment.”
While Kaguya was cheerfully browsing the lingerie shop, I wandered around nearby.
The building had an open atrium, allowing me to look down at the floors below.
I happened to spot the duo who had been hitting on Kaguya earlier.
Amused, I followed them with my eyes and saw them approaching another woman.
“That woman… she looks familiar somehow…”
Her face wasn’t clear because of her long hair and sunglasses, but even from a distance, her presence was unmistakable, and she is slender but has a great style.
The men tried to talk to her, but she sharply dismissed them.
