The Classmate Who Is Adored by Everyone Smiles Teasingly Only at Me-Chapter 2V1 .9 - Smiling Strawberry Parfait

Smiling Strawberry Parfait 9

“Come on, ahn——”

By now, it seemed like there was no reason to refuse anymore. He obediently opened his mouth.

“Is it delicious?”

“Ah, it’s delicious.”

What is she, really?

As he was being fed the parfait, he suddenly thought about it.

Normally, she’s incredibly childlike, but sometimes she shows this surprisingly mature side that catches him off guard.

Just when he thinks she’s become so beautiful just by changing her clothes, she goes back to her usual childish reactions.

She’s a peculiar girl, switching between being a child and an adult.

It’s a bit overwhelming to watch, but at the same time, it’s refreshing and enjoyable.

As he vaguely contemplates whether he will get to see various sides of her as they spend more time together, Chika suddenly comes up with a good idea and claps her hands.

“There are couple-exclusive parfaits, right? The big ones that two people eat together. I saw it in a manga I borrowed from Miki-chan before. I want to try it. Let’s go eat that next time!”

“I absolutely won’t go. I’m sure your main purpose is to see me embarrassed.”

“What if that parfait is famous for being delicious?”

“…I’ll think about it.”

“Sōma-san, you’re surprisingly easy to persuade.”

“Shut up.”

While exchanging such banter, Sōma was fed the parfait until the contents in the glass were empty.

“Chika, you seem to be in a good mood this morning.”

The next morning, while walking to school hand in hand, Miki commented on it.

“Eh? Do I look like it?”

“Yeah, did something good happen?”

“Not exactly something good, but yesterday after school, I had so much fun.”

“Oh? I thought you had something to take care of yesterday?”

“That thing I had to take care of was the source of my enjoyment.”

“Oh, what was that enjoyable thing?”

“Hehe, it’s a secret.”

In high spirits, Chika puts a finger to her lips and strikes a secretive pose, leaving Miki puzzled.

It’s the truth; yesterday’s after-school time was incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable for her.

She was able to buy the goods and clothes she wanted without needing someone’s help, and she even managed to make a reservation at a cafe.

She could confidently talk to the store clerks and even pulled off the high-level technique of wearing the purchased clothes right away.

For Chika, it was a perfect score for after-school time.

Not just shopping but interacting with Sōma was also incredibly enjoyable.

She admires him for always being dependable and serious when it comes to sweets, she aspires to become a person like him, and those feelings are genuine.

However, when she sees him embarrassed, emotions she wouldn’t normally feel start welling up inside her.

She finds herself wanting to tease and playfully bother him, which is something she’s never felt before.

It surprises even herself.

She knows she shouldn’t do such things. She knows that.

But still… When she sees Sōma’s embarrassed face, she’s not confident that she can control herself.

“I guess it’s not good to be so cute.”

“Huh? What’s cute?”

Miki overhears a small muttering.

“I think there’s nothing cuter than Chika in this world.”

“Well, um… thank you?”

Chika is happy that someone values her, but Miki’s serious face at times like this is a bit scary.

As they arrive at the classroom of Class 1-4, feeling the firm grip of Miki’s hand, Sōma is surrounded by the boys.

“Be honest, Sōma!”

“You said you were too busy with sweets to care about girls, but you were clearly doing things with that girl!”

The boys seem to be accusing him of something.

“It’s the wrong person!”

Sōma vehemently denies it, but the boys don’t believe a word he says.

“That was definitely you!”

“Yeah, it was undoubtedly Sōma with a college girl!”

It’s quite rare to see such a quarrel in this usually cheerful class.

“You guys are so noisy from the morning.”

Miki furrows her brows in annoyance, but Chika immediately catches on.

It seems someone saw them eating the parfait at the cafe yesterday.

Although they didn’t recognize anyone inside the cafe, they were seated by the window.

Perhaps someone saw them from outside.

‘Hehe, to think they mistook me for a college girl. It’s a bit thrilling since I chose to wear clothes that make me look more mature.’

“Hey, Sōma.”

The boys, who were arguing vehemently, suddenly show a calm expression and gently place their hands on Sōma’s shoulders.

“We’re not jealous of your happiness or trying to ruin it. We congratulate you. Congratulations. Be happy.”

The other boys start applauding.

“Uh, what…?”

Seeing the sudden change in the boys’ demeanor, Sōma looks perplexed and wary.

“We just want a tiny share of that happiness.”

“…What do you mean?”

“If you have a connection with college girls, introduce us.”

“I told you, there’s no such connection!”

“You’re still lying, you bastard!”

“If you want to meet an older woman that badly, why don’t you lie about your age and try a dating app?”

“I tried, but it didn’t work, so I’m asking you!”

“…you’ve already tried dating apps?”

As the boys crowd around Sōma, their eyes meet for a moment.

——Please help me——

His eyes seem to plead like that.

Chika understands his feelings, but even if she were to reveal the truth about yesterday, it would only change the people surrounding him from boys to Miki and the others.

That wouldn’t solve the fundamental issue, and besides, she doesn’t want to casually share their secret with others.

She wants to treasure it a little more.

With that in mind, Chika discreetly makes an ‘X’ sign with her finger, hoping that Sōma will understand.

“…..!”

Seeing Sōma’s face, it looked like that of a sad puppy left behind.

‘…Whoops, he looked so cute that I couldn’t help but want to hug him.’

I know I shouldn’t be thinking like this, but I just couldn’t help it.
