Episode 8 A Date with The Ninja

TLed by: TanoshiKara

The day of the date with Kokone.

I am heading to the place we decided on beforehand.

I would probably reach ten minutes before the meeting time at this rate.

That said, she got docile after I accepted her invitation.

We used to have some kind of interaction every single day, but we have not met these past few days, let alone contacted each other.

When I tried asking Aone, as I had suddenly not been contacted by Kokone, she said that it was normal.

Well, it depends on whether Aone is telling the truth or not.

"Kokone is......not here yet, huh"

I reached our meeting spot, the plaza in front of the station, exactly ten minutes early, but Kokone is not there.

It is a weekend, so there is a lot of human traffic. There are even couples among them.

"I should wait for now, huh"

Until Kokone comes, I'll use my ability to observe people.

Now that I'm naturally using my ability to observe people, I feel that I've gotten quite used to it. That said, I can see things that I don't want to see because the ability has leveled up, so it's still tough.

Telling myself to get used to this is difficult.

"Hmmmm......"

As expected of the front of the station. As many people gather here, I get information that I've never gotten before. 

I've used my ability for close to ten minutes, and I saw the name of a new act on the boy, who is probably the same age as me, and is wearing glasses, and just came out of the station.

"Honestly, I do not have the courage to look at the exact details......"

The name of the act the boy who was wearing glasses had was Masturbation (Female Underwear).

A name I can somewhat imagine the act from the words in the brackets alone.

Well, he's in the middle of puberty. It's only natural that he'd make such mistakes.

The problem is whose underwear is it? If it's one of his family members', then I wouldn't criticize. However, if he stole someone else's......underwear? Then that's totally unacceptable.

That said, how do I tell him even if my prediction is right?

As expected, it's convenient, but only being able to look is......

"That said, she sure is late"

I temporarily turn off my ability and check the time. It is already twenty minutes after the meeting time, but there are no signs that Kokone is coming.

Don't tell me I got the date, time, or meeting place wrong?, or so I thought as I checked the message Kokone sent, but I did not get the date, time, or meeting place wrong.

That would mean that something happened on Kokone's end.

I should try contacting her at least once, huh.

"Sorry for the wait......"

"Oh. You're finally here, huh"

The moment I was about to press the call button, Kokone appeared. Although it was only a little, the expression on her face looked to me like it was awkwardness.

"Sorry for being late"

Kokone apologized sincerely for being late.

"Don't worry about it. Something like twenty minutes does not count as waiting. Not to brag, but there was a time when I waited for two hours," I replied after putting my smartphone into the pocket of my pants.

That was when I was in my second year of middle school.

I was waiting for my male friend, whom I got along with after I moved over, but he only came two hours after the appointed time.

When I asked my friend, who apologized, for the reason he was late with an exasperated expression, it seemed like it was simply because he overslept.

I had no phone at the time, and there was no public phone nearby, so I had no way of contacting him. He treated me to lunch to make up for being late, though.

Ever since this happened, twenty minutes does not count as waiting to me.

"Even after that, there were times when I waited for an hour, an hour and a half, and for long hours at times for a friend who had made plans to come over to my house to hang out, only for them to say that they were busy and could no longer hang out when I thought that they had finally contacted me"

I cleared my throat when I realized I could not help but talk for a long time after remembering the past.

"So, well, that's how it is"

"Rei has a big heart, huh"

"Is that so?"

"After all, you continue to be friends with them even after they have made you wait for that long, right?"

"Well, yeah. They weren't bad people, so. I don't dislike waiting, though"

How do I put it? It's like I have gotten used to waiting. Due to this, I think, "What, it's only thirty minutes?" even after I have waited for thirty minutes.

But a lot of things were different about this time in particular, so I was a little worried, though.

"So, why were you late?"

"Weren't you telling me not to worry? ......Well, that's fine, though. I was the one who was late anyway"

Kokone looked down and murmured after she heard my question.

"It just took a lot of time for me to choose my clothes"

"......"

"What?"

"No, was thinking that Kokone is a girl too, huhh"

"How rude. What did Rei see me as?"

As expected, Kokone, who was in a bad mood, pouted and glared at me.

I thought for a while and answered honestly.

"A whimsical cat girl?"

"What's that? It's as if you think that I'm not normal"

No, well, I do actually think that she's not normal, though.

"My bad, my bad. Don't be so upset"

"You want to deceive me by petting my head?"

"It's not like that, though"

That said, she was late because she was choosing her clothes, huh. It's true that the clothes she's wearing today are different from the usual.

She usually wears a jade green cat-eared hoodie, but it's white today. Also, to add to that, she's wearing a red skirt and spats on the bottom, huh. It seems like she's not wearing a mask as well, so it's clear that a lot is different from usual about her.

"Well then, let's go on our date"

"Please do"

Well then, what does Kokone want from this date? It would be good if I learned about that.

"Oh"

"It's a date, so," Kokone said as she held my hand tightly.

"You're assertive, huh"

"I want to actually have fun if we're doing this. Or do you dislike this?"

"That's not it"

I, too, held Kokone's tiny hand tightly as well.

"So? Have you decided on where to go and what you want to do?"

"Nothing in particular. It'll be based on my mood, while we walk around"

"Haha. So you went with that, huh"

I thought she would come up with some plan, but......Well, this might be part of her plan, though.

I should try to have fun while not letting my guard down.
