TL notes

1. you probably know already but if you don’t: yakiniku and the shop
(company) mentioned
2. george clooney – american actor
3. johnny depp – american actor
4. johnny ridden – character from Gundam universe
5. original literally translated into something like “her impression of me
will fall and I will miss a meal and not be able to do my remora
strategy”, where “miss a meal” here kinda means like, Jouro will miss
out on something he thinks is important to his life if he doesn’t help
her, or so I think.
6. she fumbled her words, I don’t know how to show fumbling in English
LOL
7. She called her 小娘 – which means little girl/young lady and according
to jisho can be used in a derogatory way
 Part 3

Now then, it’s currently 7pm. Only me and Cosmos are in the student council
room, there’s no one else here.

If it was a few days ago then this would be a delightful situation. However,
right now this is anything but delightful.

Rather, Cosmos is standing in front of me, passionately writing in her

notebook with a cheerful expression on her face.

「Aah, I’m so nervous! My heart’s beating so much just thinking about going
home with Ooga-kun! Let’s see, first is the greeting.『Good
work!』or『Hello!』or『Spring is so beautiful, this season, I hope you enjoy
better health.1』… Which of these do you think are good?」

「… I think that it would be best if you don’t use the last one.」
「I-is that so? In order to show my respect I thought that something like that
would be good but…」
That’s too respectful. And why would you use a seasonal greeting?

「Huh?」

Just then, my phone started vibrating. The person who was calling me was of
course Sun-chan.

「Ah, you done with practice? …Yeah. …Okay. Then, see you at the school’s
entrance.」
After that incoherent conversation ended, I stood up and called out to
Cosmos.

「Well then, shall we go?」

「Ah, aah! Okay, but first Jouro-kun, is there anything about me that
looks weird?」
Arranging her hair with both hands, Cosmos showed a worried smile. I can
understand her nervousness.

This is a maiden in love. She had a completely different kind of smile

when she went out with me…

「Nope, you look as beautiful as always.」

「I-is that so! Thanks!」

Even though I especially told her she was beautiful, she just lightly turned
her head the other way.

If Sun-chan was the one to say that, then her face would become as red
as a lobster for sure.

Well I am a mob character after all. Keh!2

***

When the two of us arrived at the school’s entrance, Sun-chan was already
there.

Noticing me walking towards him, he waved to me with a smile on his face.

「Yo Jouro! What did ya need?」

「It’s not that big of a deal but, ah before that.」

I bent my small body to the side a bit, revealing a timid Cosmos all
huddled up to Sun-chan.
