The Classmate Who Is Adored by Everyone Smiles Teasingly Only at Me-Chapter 4V1 .7 - Infinite Possibilities of Ice Cream

Infinite Possibilities of Ice Cream 7

“When Miki-chan held me, and when my father carried me, it felt different. I don’t know what’s different, but it definitely is. What is this feeling?”

“Even if you ask me, I wouldn’t know.”

“It feels comforting, embarrassing, and exciting at the same time. No, it’s more than that. It’s like my heart skips a beat. For me… Sōma-san… special…? Or is it just natural…?”

As she gazed intently at Sōma’s face, fragmented words swirled in her mind.

On the other hand, Sōma was also perplexed by the emotions that arose within him. Holding a girl like this, his heart was pounding heavily.

Chika smelled nice and felt soft and warm.

The sensation of being tightly entwined with her made his heart beat faster and stronger.

It felt good—— no, it’s not good, but he couldn’t deny that he was feeling something indescribable.

The problem was the emotions that welled up simultaneously.

To be more precise, it could be called desire.

He found himself wanting to hold Chika even tighter.

He wished to be the only one to hold her like this.

When he heard that Miki and her father had held her before, a clear sense of jealousy spread in his chest.

“What is this…?”

‘Why did these selfish and self-centred emotions suddenly well up?’ Even he couldn’t understand.

He was just utterly confused and bewildered.

Struggling to control his arms that wanted to embrace Chika in response to his desires, Sōma looked conflicted.

Whether or not she was aware of this conflict, Chika suddenly chuckled.

“Sōma-san, you’re interesting. Sometimes I think you’re so reliable, and other times I think you’re really cute.”

“You’re saying that again?”

Sōma retorted.

She was always toying with him, switching between acting like a child and behaving like an adult.

As Sōma made a grumpy face, Chika slowly moved away and said,

“Yes, it’s true. When I’m with you, I find myself doing things I’ve never done before, and it surprises me. But I find this new side of myself refreshing, enjoyable, and exciting. So, please continue to be with me——forever and ever.”

As Chika lowered her head, the school bell suddenly rang. Due to that interruption——or perhaps thanks to it, Sōma missed the opportunity to reply.

“Oh, the chime rang! Sōma-san, let’s hurry!”

Chika dashed off, and Sōma followed her.

“Ahh, my side hurts! It’s hard to run right after eating! I can’t run!”

“I’m leaving you behind!”

“Wait, wait! Don’t abandon me!”

“I refuse!”

“Immediate rejection!? What’s more important, being with me or being on time?”

“Of course, being on time! And besides, if you talk while running, your side will hurt even more!”

“T-that’s true! It’s really starting to hurt! Sōma-san, carry me on your back!”

“I refuse!”

“But you hugged me tightly just now!”

“Stop saying such things loudly in the school hallway! People will misunderstand!”

“What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about?”

“Don’t go into demon mode here!”

“Like I said, at least call me a little devil or fallen angel!”

‘......I guess this is how I feel for the time being.’

As he gazed at her flowing brown hair that danced like a wave, that thought crossed my mind.

After eating a large carb-loaded serving of beef bowl, he felt incredibly sleepy during the fifth-period class.

The unfortunate part was that the subject was English, and for Sōma, who struggled with English, it sounded like an evil lullaby.

Just as he was about to succumb to the temptation of drowsiness, his phone in his pocket vibrated briefly, waking him up from his sleepiness.

Opening the message with suspicion during class, he saw that it was from Chika.

『If you’re free after school today, would you like to hang out?』

Cautiously, he replied,

『Are you saying you want to play not only on lunch break but also after school?』

『Isn’t it okay? Being with you for various things is exciting and fun.』

『Among those various things, there won’t be any teasing me, right?』

『Ehehe—』

『Don’t laugh it off.』

Glancing over at Chika, she seemed to be sitting up straight, attentively listening to the class.

However, upon closer look, she had her phone on her lap and was discreetly typing, trying to take advantage of the teacher’s distraction.

She’s quite skilful.

『Well, sure, I don’t have any other plans today.』

He didn’t have any particular business, and there was no reason to refuse.

『Thank you! So then, let’s meet at our usual meeting spot.』

『Roger.』

The exchange ended, and he put his phone back in his pocket.

However, a few minutes later, the phone vibrated again.

『Actually, I wanted to try secretly messaging during class like this!』

Glancing towards Chika, he noticed her right hand making a peace sign under the desk.

‘…Skipping school during lunch break, playing with phones during class—if her parents found out, they would probably scold me.’

When he thought of her parents, who doted on their daughter while also seeming serious, he couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed.

But Sōma had forgotten one thing.

That there was another person who would be furious if he led Chika astray down the wrong path.

After school, he headed to the familiar meeting place in front of the station, and Chika was already there.

“Hey, Sōma-san, over here!”

As soon as she noticed him, she energetically waved her hand.

“Alright, let’s go.”

“Wait. Where are we going? What do you want to do?”

She had only said, ‘If you’re free, hang out with me.’

“Oh, right.”

Scratching her head as if she had been absentminded, Chika continued,

“I want to go to the game-center today.”

“Going for something straightforward, huh?”

He felt a little relieved, as he had been on guard, thinking they might go shopping again.
