Chapter 15 Meeting Akane-chan on Campus

Meeting Akane-chan on Campus

One afternoon.

“Ah, Senpai!”

“Hmm? Ah, it’s Akane-chan. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work!”

As I was walking through the campus, my good junior, Akane-chan, came up to me. Then, Akane-chan was happily spinning her body in a circle.

“Fufufu, how do you like my outfit today? I changed into a refreshing summer outfit.”

“Eh? Hmm, I guess so….”

When she said that, I stared at Akane-chan.

Today, Akane-chan was wearing a sleeveless white dress with black shorts underneath, which was certainly very summery. It was also very revealing and looked very gal-like.

Well, basically, it was an outfit that suited Akane-chan, the gal, very well.

“Yes, it suits Akane-chan very well!”

“Really? Fufufu, I’m so happy!”

So I honestly told Akane-chan that, and she gave me a very happy smile. If she was that happy, it was worth telling her honestly.

“Fufufu… Oh, that’s right. By the way, is it possible that all your classes are finished today, Senpai?”

“Yes, I’m on my way home now.”

“Oh, I see! Then, if you’re free afterward, would it be possible for you to go shopping with me? Of course, I’ll pay you back somehow!”

“Eh, shopping with Akane-chan? Well, I’m not busy, so that’s fine, but if you’re going shopping, wouldn’t it be more fun to do it with a girl than a guy like me?”

Akane-chan made such a suggestion to me.

Of course, I was happy to hear Akane-chan’s invitation, but I thought it would be more fun to go shopping with a girl of the same se_x, so I asked Akane-chan.

“Ah, yes, of course, I think what you said is right, but lately, when I go shopping or something like that… I often get approached by people who seem to want to pick me up….”

“Eh? I see… Yeah, that must be hard….”

“Yeah….”

Akane-chan said that to me with a stern look on her face.

(Well, since she’s such a cute girl, I’m sure she’d get hit on if she walked around town….)

“I see… It must be really hard for girls to go out alone and have that happen….”

“Yes, that’s true. To be honest, I’m the kind of person who’s a little afraid of people I don’t know talking to me. So I’d be happy if you could come with me….”

“I see. Ah, come to think of it, you were really shy when we first met, weren’t you?”

“Eh? Ah, please don’t talk about such a long time ago.”

“Haha, sorry, sorry.”

When I laughed and told her that story, Akane-chan puffed up her cheeks and acted a little sulky.

(Haha, they are sisters after all….)

Her sister, Shijou-san, sometimes puffs up her cheeks and acts sulky, just like Akane-chan is doing right now. But I think they’re both really cute when they’re sulky.

“…But, Senpai… Do you still remember the first time we met…?”

“Yes, of course I do. Of course, I would remember things with a junior who is a good friend of mine.”

“Oh, I see… Fufufu, that makes me very happy….”

After I said that, Akane-chan changed from her sulky attitude to a gentle smile.

“Then I’d like Senpai to go shopping with me today… Is that okay?”

“Yes, of course, it’s okay. I’ll go shopping with Akane-chan today.”

“Yay! Thanks, Senpai! Yeah, let’s go then!”

“Yeah, okay.”

So we walked out of the main gate of the university together and went to the front of the station.

A few minutes later.

We got on the train together and got off at a station in the city center. And I went shopping with Akane-chan at the station.

“Wow, even on a weekday, the crowds in the city center are huge. It’s really different from the countryside I used to live in.”

“Oh, really? Was there no such crowd where you lived?”

“Yes, the place where I lived was quite rural. So when I first came to Tokyo, I was overwhelmed by the crowds.”

“Ah, I can understand that! I never got off at a city center station until I was in high school, so when I became a college student and started going to different places, I was surprised at how many people there were. I wish I could go to Senpai’s countryside….”

“Haha, my countryside is a plain place. I bet young girls like Akane-chan would get bored and want to go home right away.”

“Eh? No, no, no! That’s definitely not the case! After all, it’s where Senpai used to live, right? Fufufu, I mean… I can see a lot of places where Senpai used to live. I’m sure I could look around forever….”

“Oh, really? I see. Well, if you ever want to visit my countryside, you can always let me know. I’ll always be there to show you the way.”

“What… What!? Really? Really? You promise!!”

“EH? Oh, yeah, yeah, I promise.”

“Yes, thank you! Fufufu… I’m happy….”

I just said that in a normal way, but for some reason, Akane-chan replied with enchanted eyes. Was she that interested in the countryside?
