Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

Chapter 717 - 717: Watch your date

Kaoru could tell that Asahina Nazuna was feeling restless.Ever since they entered the restaurant, she had been sneaking glances around from time to time, clearly distracted by their surroundings.

"I'm going to the restroom for a bit," Kaoru said.

"Ah... oh, okay. Hurry up, or I'll secretly eat everything."

As if trying to cover up how absentminded she had been, Nazuna quickly brushed the hair beside her cheek back and stuffed a few bites of beef into her mouth, her cheeks puffing slightly as she chewed.

"If you eat it all, then I'll have to make do with you for dessert tonight."

Seeing the faint blush rise on her face, Kaoru laughed.

"You're thinking way too much. I'm not spending tonight with you."

Nazuna gave him a small protest.

Kaoru did not take that protest seriously at all.

At worst, he could simply follow Nazuna all the way back.

After all, he had already been acting shameless for so long.

There were not many people near the restroom at the moment.

Kaoru deliberately waited by the entrance for a short while, and before long, Kiryūin Fūka appeared in front of him.

"Why are you following us?"

Kaoru looked at her in confusion. She had not even changed out of her school uniform and had been trailing behind them with such open confidence that it would have been harder not to notice her.

"To watch you date."

Fūka answered very directly. "I've been observing you for a while. You're pretty awful, aren't you?"

She had realized that Kaoru was even more outrageous than Nagumo Miyabi.

He spent time with different girls every day, and most of them were apparently his girlfriends in name, practically forming a harem around him.

"I thought you already knew that, senpai. Thank you for going out of your way to remind me."

Kaoru sighed. "Anything else?"

"What does being in love feel like?"

Fūka asked next. "When you're with Asahina, does your heart race?"

"Love is something you experience for yourself. Even if I explain it, you won't truly understand the feeling."

Kaoru smiled faintly. "Are you that curious now, senpai?"

Fūka frowned slightly. In truth, she felt that she understood far more than Kaoru did. She simply had not met the person meant for her yet, so for now, she was temporarily behind.

"You've been staring at me and Nazuna this whole time. You're making her embarrassed, and I'm trying to enjoy a date with her."

Hearing that, Fūka seemed to come back to herself a little before letting out a small scoff. "I'll watch whoever I want to watch. If she's embarrassed, that just means the two of you usually act too guilty when you're alone together."

Although Fūka sounded arrogant, she was not exactly wrong. Her eyes were sharp enough to see through what both Nazuna and Kaoru were thinking almost immediately.

"We're going back later. Are you planning to listen through the door too?"

Kaoru raised an eyebrow.

"If you're willing to let me watch."

Fūka smiled as if she were only half joking. She was not some delicate, innocent girl who would get flustered over that kind of provocation.

If Kaoru dared to agree, she would dare to follow him in.

For once, Kaoru was left speechless. He glanced toward Nazuna not far away. If he kept wasting time here, she would probably start getting impatient.

"If senpai is that interested, I'll teach you properly next time."

Kaoru said, "But right now, I have another cute senpai to take care of."

That sounded truly awful.

Fūka curled her lips, not believing for a second that Kaoru could teach her anything useful.

Kaoru washed his hands in the restroom. By the time he came out, Fūka had already disappeared.

"You're so slow. I'm almost done eating!"

"That's exactly what I was waiting for. Nazuna, can you feed me?"

"Hey, don't think you can order your senpai around just because you're younger!"

"Nee-san, I want to live off your kindness."

"Can you have even a little shame when you're with me?"

Even though Nazuna knew Kaoru was deliberately taking advantage of the situation, she still half-resisted and half-gave in, actually reaching out to feed him a few bites.

By the time she came back to herself, her pretty face had turned completely red.

"Delicious."

Kaoru smacked his lips, clearly not satisfied yet.

As expected, as long as he was shameless enough, Nazuna would eventually give in.

"Nee-san, one more bite."

"No more. Eat by yourself!"

Nazuna raised her fist and lightly hit him several times in a row.

He was way too shameless!

They were outside right now, so why had she agreed to that? She must have lost her mind for a second!

After hitting him, Nazuna felt her heart beating faster again.

Feeling guilty, she glanced around nearby. Kiryūin Fūka had not seen that, right?

To be honest, Nazuna felt conflicted.

On one hand, she was very curious about who Fūka liked.

On the other hand, having Fūka watching from somewhere nearby made her unbearably embarrassed.

Kaoru finished eating his meal, then noticed Nazuna's conflicted expression.

He reached out and gently brushed aside the loose hair near her face. Girls with long hair always had a bit of trouble while eating.

Thankfully, they were not eating ramen right now. Otherwise, Nazuna would have needed to tie her hair up.

"Do I look good?"

Nazuna's voice held a faint sweetness.

Many people thought Kaoru and Nagumo were both shameless flirts, but in her view, they were completely different.

Nagumo would never be this thoughtful with her.

"Of course you do. But shouldn't you be asking whether something got stuck in your hair?"

Kaoru said casually.

"Huh? Did something really get stuck?"

Nazuna was instantly alarmed and had just been about to check when she noticed the smile on Kaoru's face.

"I'm kidding. Don't move."

Kaoru gently touched her cheek. Nazuna was not the overly thin type, her face had a soft roundness to it that made her look especially cute.

When their eyes met, Nazuna's heart began to race. His palm was warm against her cheek, and his fingers lightly brushed her hair and the side of her ear.

Her thoughts immediately started wandering. Based on past experience, Kaoru would probably try to kiss her.

If it was only a kiss, Nazuna did not mind that much.

The problem was that Kaoru always liked to tease her until she became flustered.

Someone might see them.

Nazuna's lips moved slightly, but she could not bring herself to say it out loud. She was too embarrassed.

"Want a kiss?"

Kaoru lowered his voice, a trace of amusement tugging at his lips.

Nazuna's face instantly went bright red.

He had seen through what she was thinking again.

Seeing through it was one thing, but why did he have to say it out loud? This jerk!

"Who wants to kiss you? Who knows how many girls you've already kissed?"

Nazuna pushed against his chest, her cheeks still warm. "If you're done eating, hurry up and pay."

"As you command, Nazuna-nee-san."

Kaoru smiled.

Without realizing it, he had changed what he called her again.

Nazuna was too lazy to argue with him.

She honestly had no idea how he could say those things so easily.

After paying the bill, Kaoru held hands with a reluctant-looking Nazuna as the two of them strolled through Keyaki Mall.

"Do you feel like someone is watching us?"

Kaoru suddenly asked.

Nazuna instinctively looked around several times, but she did not see Fūka anywhere.

Then she realized Kaoru was talking about a few passersby.

They seemed to be students from their year, and she had some impression of them.

"Am I causing trouble for you?"

Nazuna bit her lip.

Ever since she started dating Kaoru, those kinds of stares had become more common.
