Today was the day that both Kaede and I had shifts at our part-time jobs, but it seemed more crowded than usual today.
It’s not like there are always no customers, but with so many, it might be physically and mentally exhausting.
“Kaede, are you okay?”
“Yes! Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine!”
“I see, I’m glad to hear that.”
I said this and my face unconsciously smiled, perhaps out of relief.
“Anyway, there sure are a lot of customers today.”
“Yeah, why so many…”
When I gave her a pained look, Kaede giggled and looked at me.
“I heard a picture was uploaded on SNS, and it went viral~!”
“Have we been on social networking?”
“I heard Manager started it recently.”
“That’s why it’s so popular.”
“I’m really getting tired~”
“Stop talking, you two, and get to work.”
Naruse-senpai scolded us for talking and to start working.
I’m working, of course, but I don’t want to work when it’s so crowded.
“Ren-kun! Let’s work hard!”
“Y-yeah…”
Kaede is still so full of energy! and I went back to work.
After that, I worked hard after Naruse-senpai told me to do so, and now it’s time for a break.
(Alone with Naruse-senpai …)
Not having a topic to talk about makes me feel awkward, even with senpai I know…
I’ll make sure to set up a conversation deck for next time.
“Ah, I wanted to ask you something.”
“Yes? What is it?”
“Are you and Shimizu dating?”
“…………..?!!!”
“Hahaha! What’s with that face? You are too surprised!”
That’s surprising, I haven’t told anyone at my part-time job yet. …
How did he know anyway? I sat there thinking about this, but nothing came out, probably from exhaustion.
“…how did you know?’
“I knew it.”
“Yeah?”
“Sort of, really.”
“Is that all?
“And then there’s the atmosphere between the two of you.”
The atmosphere between me and Kaede seemed to be the same as usual. ….
Perhaps it was completely different for the people around us….
“Don’t think we don’t know.”
“Eh?”
“Hina definitely noticed it too.”
“Urghh, not again.”
“She can read the air in the weirdest ways.”
I hadn’t done anything wrong, but I felt strangely sweaty and it started to trickle down my cheeks.
“Really?…”
“Yeah, I’m sure.”
“I gotta go now, You both do it in moderation.”
“… yes.”
After saying that Naruse-senpai left, all I could do was sigh deeply .
(Not only Naruse-senpai, but also Hina-senpai knows that we are dating?)
I could only suspect, but judging from the confidence of Naruse-senpai, it did not seem to be a lie, and my face grew hot with embarrassment at once, wondering if she really knew.
“I thought they wouldn’ find out…”
“What?”
“K-Kaede?!”
“What is it? Why are talking so lound all of a sudden?
“N-No, it’s just..”
“Hmm?”
Thinking I was hiding something from her. Kaede brought her face close and started putting pressure on me.
“Kaede, you’re close.”
“I won’t stop until you tell me.”
“Then I’ll tell you. Please stop.”
“It’s a shame, I would have liked to have seen your face closer, but I can’t break a promise, can I?”
I surrendered immediately to Kaede’s pressure. If I didn’t, my heart wouldn’t be able to take it.
I told Kaede everything that Naruse-senpai had said earlier.
Kaede laughed when she heard this.
“There is nothing embarrassing about it at all, you know?”
“I-Is that so?”
“Yeah. You don’t have to hide it…”
It made me a little sad to think that I was the only one who thought this way.
“Being in a relationship isn’t a bad thing.”
“Yeah, I was overthinking it.”
“Yes! Let’s talk about something more pleasant than that!”
What I was worried about just a moment ago was swept away by such a thing.
Should I say It was expected?
I turned to Kaede and smiled, trying not to reveal that I was no match for her today.
