The Cheeky Junior Gal Becomes Too Cute When She Gets Attached to Me-Chapter 2Volume 1 . - The Too-Cheeky Junior Gal

The Too-Cheeky Junior Gal

“I came because I want to eat with you, Senpai.”

“Sure sure.”

“I brought cup ramen so that Senpai would come. It’s like an excuse to meet, you know?”

“Could you at least look away from the cup ramen before saying that?”

“No way. The ramen is tempting me… Ah! The water’s boiled now!”

The reason is almost entirely because she wants to eat ramen. Definitely.

Ooba pours the water from the kettle and places a box of tissues on top as a weight.

She then sets a timer on her smartphone.

“Even waiting is happiness~”

“Don’t talk like we’re a couple waiting for each other.”

“Was Senpai waiting for me too?”

“No, not at all. I didn’t even have a promise to meet with Ooba in the first place.”

As I respond, Ooba puffs out her cheeks a bit.

“By the way, call me Monaka instead of by my last name~. Isn’t it a cute name? I really like it.”

“It does sound tasty.”

“Eh, is that a dirty joke?”

“You’re the worst.”

How could that possibly sound like a dirty joke.

“But maybe I wouldn’t mind being eaten by Senpai.”

“That’s rather gruesome.”

“Don’t change the subject. Hey-hey, call me Monaka~”

“A name is just a symbol, right? I don’t see the point in being particular about how you’re called.”

“If it’s just a symbol, that means you don’t care either way, right, Senpai? So wouldn’t it be better for you to choose the option that makes me happy?”

Crap, I’ve dug my own grave.

Logically, Ooba’s argument is becoming correct.

Seeing me at a loss for words, Ooba lifted the corners of her mouth in triumph.

“See, it’s Monaka-chan~ Repeat after me, Mo-na-ka.”

“…Monaka.”

“Yay!”

It’s lame to acknowledge someone’s logic and still be stubborn.

It’s important to admit defeat.

I give up and decide to go with calling her by her first name. After all, there’s no particular reason for me to insist on using her last name.

“Then I’ll call you Masachika-senpai. Maybe Chika-chan is fine too.”

“I am your Senpai, remember?”

“Masachika-senpai… Masachika-paisen… Chika-pai-!”

“That’s an annoying nickname!”

“Ah, three minutes have passed.”

With the sound of the alarm, Ooba cheerfully exclaimed.

She opened the lid, added the soup base and other ingredients, and stirred while humming a tune.

She pursed her lips and blew on it carefully to cool it down, then slurped it up with a contented narrowing of her eyes.

“Yummy~. Want some, Chikapai?”

“Stop calling me that.”

“Eh, but a name is just a symbol, right?”

“Choose a way of calling someone that doesn’t make them uncomfortable.”

“You’re secretly a little happy about it though~”

Well, it’s the first time someone’s given me a nickname, so there is a part of me that feels new, but this particular nickname is annoying.

While eating my ramen and watching the noisy Ooba out of the corner of my eye, I start eating my own bento.

“…you know, you’re really kind.”

“Hmm?”

“You waited to eat until my ramen was ready.”

“Because I didn’t have a chance to start eating with your machine-gun talk.”

It’s better if she doesn’t voice out these unnecessary things.

With a “Hmm,” and a sly grin, Ooba snatched a meatball from my bento box.

This girl…

Well, perhaps a lunch break like this isn’t too bad once in a while.

〇

I, Ooba Monaka, am currently quite full.

“Alright!”

On my way back to the classroom for the afternoon classes, I made a small triumphant fist pump.

My steps felt lighter.

“Just as planned!”

I had the perfect excuse to buy cup ramen and needed some hot water.

It was a flawless strategy.

It was worth thinking about an excuse all night. I went to bed at eleven, but when I woke up in the morning, I had it figured out!

I could have waited until after school, but I wanted to see him from lunchtime.

But going without a reason would be embarrassing. I didn’t have the courage to go see him without an excuse.

If I didn’t bring anything but cup ramen, I wouldn’t have lunch unless I met with Senpai.

It was my way of ensuring I didn’t back out, a last stand.

…Truth be told, I was a little scared.

What if I was rejected? Senpai might want to spend time with his friends, and I might just be a nuisance.

That’s what I was anxious about.

But Senpai, despite what he said, went along with it.

He is nice.

I’m glad I mustered the courage. Because, even though it was just for less than an hour, it was fun.

No, not just today.

Even going to the Student Council room after school yesterday, I was super nervous.

I went up to the door, then turned back… I lost count of how many times I did that.

“Senpai…”

Tsujidou Masachika Senpai.

I gently ruminate on that name in my heart.

I acted like I learned his name for the first time yesterday, but in truth, I’ve known it for a while.

But I don’t think he remembers me. After all, we hardly ever spoke.

So I’m happy that we’ve had this interaction.

“It was worth wandering around looking for Senpai since morning.”

Being bothered by Shirahata was unexpected, but thanks to that, I got closer to Senpai.

For that, I’m a little grateful, maybe?

“Do I like him?”

I quietly ask myself.

I wasn’t supposed to be the type to fall for someone easily… In fact, I’ve never really had a crush before.

So I don’t know if this is what a crush feels like.

One thing is for sure, I really enjoyed the time I spent with Senpai.

I want to get to know him better, and whether I like him or not, I can decide that later.

“I wonder if Senpai dislikes gals…”

No, it’s embarrassing to call myself a gyaru, but I’m often told that I am one.

Even though this look of mine has a pretty bad reputation with most Sensei, I actually quite like it.

I mean, who doesn’t want to be cute?

I’m confident that I look good with blonde hair.

But if Senpai prefers someone who looks more pure and innocent, maybe I’d consider a makeover.

“I’ll ask him after school.”

I was told not to come, but I’m totally planning to go.

I wonder why I’m so proactive, even I find it surprising.

Maybe I’m the type who goes all-in when it comes to love? I had no idea.

But this is actually quite fun.

“How shall I tease him today?”

Thinking about after school, a smile naturally spills across my face.

Well, it would be pitiful for Senpai to be all alone.

As his cute junior, that’s why I have to go see him.

“…Though it’s really just because I want to see him.”

I mutter quietly to myself and gaze out the window.
