“I don’t have any plans for the weekend, but where are you going?”
“How about Tokyo Disneyland? Last time I went to Universal Studios in Osaka, I thought it would be nice to come with Ryu-chan.”
‘Is it Tokyo Disneyland?’
To be honest, I’m incredibly drawn to it.
Because I thought it was a pity that I couldn’t go to the amusement park just a while ago.
“no?”
Rika’s dazzling eyes staring at him anxiously.
With those innocent eyes in front of him, he couldn’t dare to say no.
“Of course it is possible.”
“Wow! Good luck!”
Rika’s face suddenly brightened from a nervous expression that I was afraid to accept.
Seeing that, I felt a sense of guilt later.
Because Rika doesn’t know yet.
the fact that I have a girlfriend.
I wanted to say it right now, but I couldn’t say anything bad in front of her who was so happy.
So I finally shut my mouth, and Chiaki, who was watching me from the side, said:
“It wouldn’t be a good idea to wait too long. For that child and for you.”
I know that.
Even if this is the world of a love comedy, there are certain things that cannot be forgiven.
I thought so, looking away from Rika, who was looking at me with a bright smile.
***
It was during summer vacation that I became convinced that Rika had special feelings for me.
Even before that, I vaguely thought ‘maybe’, but consciously turned away from reality, saying that it was impossible.
It was also because I thought there was no reason for Rika, who was excellent in every way, to like me.
In the case of the president, I had known him for a long time before Rika, so he may have naturally developed romantic feelings, but I have known Rika for only half a year.
Of course, for some, half a year may be a very long time.
But for me, who doesn’t believe in love at first sight, it just felt strange that Rika fell in love with me so easily.
Perhaps, as Ryuji, the original protagonist of this worldview, could not play his role, I even hypothesized that I, who was a third person, took on the role of the main character instead.
Of course, the truth is still unknown.
Since I became a lover with the president, I felt the need to redefine the relationship that I had been passing over until now.
“So what?”
“…Yooseong-kun is a mask because he’s so honest.”
After hearing about the date with Rika in the student council room, the president sighed deeply as he said that.
“I’m also seriously consulting. Rika is one of my best friends in class, so I don’t want to hurt her.”
After hearing my explanation, the president firmly shook his head and said.
“It’s impossible when you choose the option of rejecting the confession.”
“Is that so too?”
“Because a woman is not such a simple creature. On the contrary, if Yooseong-kun behaves vaguely, it could hurt him even more.”
“Then what should I do?”
The president, who answered my question, was silent for a moment.
Then, after taking a sip of the tea Minami had brewed, he answered.
“Draw a clear line. You can only dissuade me by making sure that there’s no more room.”
“…Wouldn’t that be too cruel?”
“I think it’s crueler to give room rather than that. I don’t even want to do it myself. Or do you think Yooseong-kun is going to have an affair?”
“Yes? No, you can.”
When I hurriedly denied it, the president laughed and nodded his head.
“That’s enough. Because I believed in Yoosung-kun.”
“Yeah…”
As I received some blind faith, I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders.
“You drank a lot of tea. I’ll get up first.”
“Yes. Then I’ll see you at home in the evening.”
“Yes.”
Now a very natural goodbye.
I left Minami next to me saying I’ll see you tomorrow, and decided to go back to the classroom first.

“Lady, what should I do?”
“What?”
“Aren’t you going to follow Kim Yoo-sung and Kishimoto Rika’s date?”
At the question of his servant Minami, Kumiko Saionji laughed and covered her mouth with a black fan.
“I believe in Yoosung-kun. Even if I don’t exist, he will definitely take care of him.”
“I don’t doubt Kim Yoo-sung’s feelings for the young lady either. But there is also the possibility that a woman named Kishimoto Rika can be a huge variable in the president’s love affair. Because it was the closest thing to the relationship.”
“After all, what do you want to say?”
“I’ll prepare myself, so please come. Miss. Why don’t you just think that you’re going out for a drink after a long time?”
“Really…”
Saionji Kumiko muttered like that and put down the teacup she was holding in her hand.
“I can’t help it. I do it.”
He said he believed in his words, but in reality, it was Kumiko Saionji who was nervous about losing his boyfriend.

“Mama! How about this?”
“Yeah. It suits you well.”
“Then what about this?”
“I think that suits him well.”
“…Isn’t the answer from earlier too rude?”
“But it’s true that we get along well. Whose daughter are you?”
“Well, it’s not wrong. Because she’s Mama’s daughter.”
When Rika said that and confidently opened her chest, Maria asked with a bitter smile.
“So, what kind of wind suddenly blew, and you asked me to go shopping with your mom?”
“Huh? That’s what it is.”
“Huh, what the hell is that?”
When Rika suddenly averted her gaze and mumbled her words, Maria sniffed the funny story and asked in detail.
In the end, Rika, not accustomed to lying, was told the truth.
“What?! You’re going on a date with Yooseong-kun on the weekend?!”
“mama!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. My voice came out loud without me knowing.”
When Maria smiled and apologized for that, Rika looked at her mother as if it were a sarcastic thing.
Because it was obviously intentional.
But in the end, Rika gave up and said, knowing that even nagging would be a swear word.
“This is my first date, so Mama, give me some advice. What kind of clothes should I wear when I go out on a date?”
“Fufu, if that’s the case, leave it to me. Mom will tell you for sure.”

Maria, who was annoyed, began to show enthusiasm for the coordinating all of a sudden.
Looking at Mama like that, Rika let out a deep sigh that might have been the number of times.
‘That’s why I didn’t want to talk about it.’

And the day of the decisive battle dawned.
Beep! Beep Big! Beep! Beep!
“……”
When I opened my eyes to the familiar alarm sound, I saw the ceiling of my room covered with white wallpaper.
After turning off the alarm display floating on the phone screen, I checked the time and got up from my bed.
“Hua-am-“
Originally, I would have slept half-naked in the living room, but since the president was staying in the guest room, I calmly organized things in the room.
In that way, I was able to create a space that was barely enough to lie down, so there was no accident that I ran into the president who had just woken up in the morning naked.
I go jogging in the morning as usual, train my hayate at the citizen park, and then come back home and have a simple breakfast.
And after taking a shower, I changed my mind and left the house early in the morning.
According to my usual schedule, I would exercise at home or roll around while reading comics, but today was a little different.
That’s because they’ve already made a reservation.
Beep!
Go through the subway ticket gates and go down to the platform.
And he didn’t forget to check the messenger window from time to time.
It seems that Rika got on the train coming next time.
Fortunately, it seemed to be on time.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, Rika’s tank came into the platform.
“Ryu-chan!”
Rika, who was sitting in the seat, noticed me and waved her hand.
“Lee…ka?”
I was about to wave my hand, but when I saw Rika for the first time, I stopped walking without realizing it.
Unsurprisingly, Rika, who always had one side of her hair tied in a side ponytail, had her hair straight for the first time.
“what’s the matter?”
“No, nothing.”
I woke up late, said so, shook my head, and got on the train.
Soon the door closes, and the train starts moving slowly.
Knock Knock Knock Knock! Knock Knock Knock Knock!
Feeling a familiar vibration, I sat in the empty seat next to Rika, deliberately looking out the window and asked.
“What’s going on today? You suddenly come out with your hair loose.”
“Just? It’s a long-awaited date, so you think you have to show a different side than usual?”
Saying that, Rika scratched the back of her head and asked carefully.
“Isn’t it okay?”
A question that comes in suddenly.
I turned my head to answer, but was momentarily speechless.
I knew that Rika was pretty in the first place, but the destructive power of her deliberately decorated appearance was undoubtedly enormous.
Even now, the men around her were constantly staring at her.
‘This is the power of being number one in popularity… .’
Thinking it was truly terrifying, I first told Rika that it suited Rika well.
“Hehe- thank you.”
Saying that and smiling as if embarrassed was a foul itself.
