The Classmate Who Is Adored by Everyone Smiles Teasingly Only at Me-Chapter 2V1 .6 - Smiling Strawberry Parfait

Smiling Strawberry Parfait 6

Chika, not noticing Sōma’s state, asks, showing herself off.

She chose a lavender-colored cutout top with black lace edges, black sheer innerwear, and black leather pants and loosely wrapped a pure white sash belt around her waist as an accent.

“Do I look somewhat more grown-up?”

It’s more than just ‘somewhat’. She looks incredibly mature, alluring, and beautiful.

Just by looking at her, Sōma’s heart rate accelerates rapidly.

The daring off-shoulder cut of the top exposes her elegant white shoulders and collarbones, which one would never see in the high school uniform. The pants fit snugly, emphasizing her slender legs even more.

The combination of the mature lavender and black colors, the normally unseen skin, and the confidence of wearing self-selected clothes——all of these things make Chika appear incredibly mature.

The childlike, adorable Chika, who is constantly pampered by her female friends, is nowhere to be found.

All she did was change from her school uniform to slightly more grown-up clothes. That’s it.

However, the change in atmosphere is so significant.

Sōma’s heart races, and he can only gaze in admiration.

“Um, Sōma-san?”

Perplexed by his lack of response, Chika tilts her head and comes closer while brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

Even with such a casual gesture, he can’t help but feel flustered.

“What do you think? The size is fine, but I’m not sure if it looks strange or not.”

Chika turns around gracefully to show the outfit.

“I-I-It looks fine, yeah, I think it’s okay.”

Sōma awkwardly replies while casually averting his gaze.

He can’t look at her up close.

“Sōma-san, please look carefully and give me your opinion. I’m spending my pocket money on this, so I don’t want a vague response.”

“No, I’ve seen enough, it’s fine.”

“.. Sōma-san, what’s wrong?”

Finally, Chika notices that something is off with Sōma.

She furrows her brows and cautiously moves around to peek at his face.

“It’s nothing,” he says, turning his face in the opposite direction.

Chika goes around again.

He averts his face.

She circles around again.

“….”

“….”

The lively noise inside the store serves as background music, while a strange silence fills the air between the two.

Chika breaks the silence.

“Your ears are really red.”

“They’re not red!”

Reflexively, Sōma covers his ears and glances at Chika.

In response, she smirks mischievously and gazes back at him.

‘Oh no, even if I say that now, it’s already too late.’

“Sōma-san, you really do have some cute side….”

“…Like I said, don’t tell me that I’m cute!”

Although he tried to frown, he couldn’t hide that his cheeks and ears were turning red.

Seeing Sōma like that, Chika seems satisfied, chuckling softly as she raises her hand to call the store clerk.

“Excuse me, I’ll purchase these four items. I like them, so can I wear them out of the store just like this?”

“Just like this!? Are you saying I have to walk next to you while you’re dressed like this!?”

“Thank you for your purchase. Of course, that’s not a problem. I’ll just remove the price tags for you.”

As if not hearing Sōma’s scream, Chika and the store clerk smoothly complete the payment in no time.

“Now, shall we go to the café?”

It seems like she’s seriously planning to keep wearing this outfit.

With a grateful nod to the store clerk, she confidently walks outside.

“Seriously…”

Unconsciously, he is amazed by the situation.

Then, his eyes met the gaze of the store clerk who had seen them off.

The store clerk amusingly grins as if watching something entertaining.

“…I guess I should just go, let’s go.”

Sōma mutters, somewhat disheartened and chases after Chika.

I can’t stand it, that’s what people say in situations like this.

“Hmm-hmm-hmm♪”

Walking beside Chika, who is humming a cheerful but indiscernible tune, Sōma secretly thinks.

He’s simply heading to the café with his female classmate. In this context, that’s all it is.

However, he still feels extremely uneasy.

Even though they are heading to the long-awaited café, he wants to desperately go back home.

“…This is really happening, huh.”

He murmurs quietly to himself, trying not to be noticed by Chika.

Just by changing clothes, the atmosphere has changed so dramatically.

He is almost doubting if the person walking next to him is truly Chika Satomi.

…She looks unbelievably beautiful.

If he lets his guard down, he feels like he will be captivated forever. That’s why he’s so uncomfortable.

He wonders if it’s okay for him to walk beside her.

He has very little experience doing something alone with a girl, and for a high school boy like him, walking together with an incredibly beautiful girl like this would undoubtedly make him nervous.

Sōma laments his lack of experience.

“It’d be nice to have shoes that match the outfit. Stylish and cool pumps, maybe in a chic beige color. Please accompany me when I buy the shoes next time!”

Chika says such cheerful things, completely unaware of Sōma’s state.

He mutters again under his breath, calling her such a carefree person, and lets out a secret sigh.

“Sōma-san, is something wrong?”

She didn’t likely hear that sigh, but Chika stopped and turned to him.

Unconsciously, the distance between them has increased.

It seems Sōma’s nervousness affected his pace.

“Don’t worry about it. Go ahead, I know the location of the café.”

“If we don’t do this together, it won’t be interesting, right? Let’s go together!”

Even though she looks more mature, her childlike way of speaking remains the same.

“If we keep strolling leisurely, we’ll miss the reservation time.”

Saying that, she grabs Sōma’s sleeve and starts pulling him along.
