The Delinquent Shimizu-san Sitting Next to Me Has Dyed Her Hair Black-Chapter 2Volume 4 . - Shimizu-san and Observation

Shimizu-san and Observation 2

“I understand Runa-san’s situation, but in the end, what do we need to do?”

“There’s just one thing I’d like you two to do!”

“What’s that?”

“Please act naturally, just as you always do, and let me observe you!”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to directly observe what kind of people you two are and what kind of relationship you have! Understanding that will help me get a lot of inspiration!”

Runa-san’s eyes sparkled with determination as she spoke.

“So, Kei and Daiki-kun just need to act as usual, okay!”

“That’s right!”

Ai-san and Runa-san simultaneously gave us a thumbs-up.

“You two are too in sync.”

“We’re soulmates, even though it hasn’t even been a month since we met! So, are you two okay with Runa-chan observing your daily life?”

“…Well, I guess I’m fine with that.”

All three sets of eyes turned to me. My answer was already decided.

“I’m okay with it too.”

“Then it’s settled! Let the daily observation by Runa-chan begin! Just talk as you normally would, both funny and interesting!”

“Don’t set the bar so high! …Well, I’ll just talk casually, Hondō.”

“Right, Shimizu-san, have you been well since the training camp ended?”

“…Yeah.”

“Then that’s good.”

The conversation stalled.

Strange, I can’t seem to keep the conversation going as usual.

“How about you?”

“I’ve been fine too”

“I see…”

Once again, the conversation paused. Even though Shimizu-san started talking to me, I couldn’t keep it going.

What’s wrong with me today?

Ever since I became conscious that I might like Shimizu-san, I hadn’t had the chance to talk with her alone until today.

But I didn’t expect to be this unable to converse.

“Are you two okay? You can think of me as a wall if that helps.”

“I can be Wall Number Two if you like!”

“Shut up! If you’re walls, then be quiet and watch!”

“Ahaha.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. I reflexively looked at Shimizu-san, who seemed somehow relieved.

“You finally look like your usual self.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t know if you’re nervous because Runa is here, but your face has been a bit tense.”

I hadn’t realized it at all.

“You always pay such close attention to Hondō-kun.”

“Anyone would notice if they looked! And if you’re a wall, don’t talk!”

“It’s cute when you’re embarrassed. Daiki-kun thinks so too, right?”

“That’s true.”

There’s no doubt that a blushing Shimizu-san is cute.

“What are you saying!”

Shimizu-san’s face turned redder by the second.

“Kei’s embarrassed face is a treasure of the world, this is common knowledge.”

“Cut it out! I’ll bury you in a wall!”

“Oh, scary, scary. Then I guess I’ll go back to being Wall Number Two.”

With that, Ai-san went silent again.

“Remember this when we get home…”

Shimizu-san glared at Ai-san, but it seemed to have no effect.

“Thank you, Shimizu-san.”

“For what?”

From her expression, it seemed Shimizu-san really didn’t understand.

“For worrying about me just now.”

“You don’t need to thank me for that.”

“Shimizu-san is kind.”

“You’re about the only one who would say that.”

“I’m sure there are others who feel the same but just don’t say it.”

“You always have to have the last word…”

Somehow, I felt like I was starting to get back into the usual rhythm of talking with Shimizu-san.

“…Precious.”

Turning towards the source of the voice, I saw Runa-san, who was supposed to be just a wall, looking up at the sky with tearful eyes.

“What are you doing?”

“I-I’m so sorry! I had heard about the two of you from Ai-san beforehand, but the reality was more overwhelming than I imagined, and I got carried away with my emotions.”

I wonder how Ai-san had explained it to her.

“I don’t get it, but should Hondō and I keep talking?”

“Yes, please! This time I will truly become one with the wall, so please go ahead!”

“Got it. Hey, Hondō, got any topics in mind?”

“Well, let’s see… Oh, right, Teruno wanted to meet Shimizu-san.”

“Who is Teruno-san?”

Runa-san, who was supposed to be a wall, asked Ai-san, who was also supposed to be a wall.

“Daiki-kun’s little sister. Teruno-chan is really fond of Kei.”

“What!? You not only know Daiki’s sister but are also close to her!”

“…I’m not saying anything more.”

Shimizu-san seemed to have concluded that it was impossible for the two of them to simply observe our conversation.

“Teruno really wants to meet Shimizu-san, so she’s insisting on coming to the cultural festival. Could you talk to her if she comes?”

“Well, I guess that’s fine.”

Am I the only one who notices her lips curving up more than before?

“You seem happy, Kei-san.”

“Kei loves Teruno-chan, after all!”

It seems my impression wasn’t wrong.

“Thank you, Shimizu-san. Teruno will definitely be happy.”

“She’s about the only one weird enough to want to meet me.”

“I enjoy meeting with Shimizu-san too, you know?”

“Only you and Teruno, that’s it!”

“…Amazing. Is this how you always talk?”

“That’s how it is in the clubroom. As expected of Daiki-kun, a true gentleman of the Astronomy Club!”

I wonder what Runa-san and Ai-san are talking about.

After that, Shimizu-san and I continued our conversation, forgetting that we were being observed, talking about whether we had finished our summer homework, what we had been doing since the training camp, and so on.

“Oh, is it that time already?”

When I checked the time, more than an hour had already passed since we started talking.

“You two were so engrossed in your conversation that you forgot about the time and us!”

“You guys stopped talking halfway through and really made yourselves invisible.”

“Today, Ai-san and I are the wall!”

“Why do you sound so happy about that? So, Runa, are you satisfied with our talk?”

“Yes! I am extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely satisfied!”

I was a bit worried since it was just the usual conversation with Shimizu-san, but Runa-san’s expression seemed genuinely content.

“Runa-chan, do you think you can write a good script?”

“Of course! My creative drive is skyrocketing!”

“Then I’m looking forward to a great script!”

“Leave it to me!”

Ai-san and Runa-san exchanged a passionate handshake.

“Please look forward to it, both of you!”

“Yeah, good luck, Runa-san.”

“…make sure it’s a good script.”

“With encouragement from both of you, I can’t afford to slack off! Now, I must get started on writing the script, so I’ll call it a day here. Ai-san, Kei-san, and Daiki-san, thank you so much for today!”

With those words, Runa-san headed towards the door.

“Ah!”

Just as she was about to leave the room, she seemed to remember something and turned back to us.

“What is it?”

“Kei-san, I’m also rooting for you!”

“Wha?!”

Runa-san smiled and finally left the room.

“That’s nice, you’ve got one more person cheering for you.”

“That girl, she’s not getting off easy the next time I see her!”

I didn’t quite understand, but it seemed that the other two got Runa-san’s intention.

“What did Runa-san’s last words mean?”

“She was probably cheering for Kei, who’s going to play a major role in the play for the first time.”

“I see?”

It was Runa-san’s way of showing concern, but Shimizu-san’s reaction seemed a bit off.

“That girl, I’ll take her down.”

Shimizu-san wouldn’t normally say something so ominous about someone who’s simply showing support, could it be her way of hiding embarrassment?

“Don’t worry, Runa-chan isn’t the type to spread things around.”

“Where did she go?”

“Don’t try to delete her directly!?”

In the end, it took Ai-san more than enough time to calm down Shimizu-san, who was on the verge of going berserk.
