Shishiba is irritated by a clueless fox-like girl during a date.
Shishiba was currently in a very foul mood.
When he asked Guest out on a date last Wednesday and she accepted, everything was going according to plan. Even when he woke up early, prepared more diligently than usual, and met Guest at the promised time, it was wonderful. From watching the musical he had pre-booked to walking around the park, his mood was better than ever. But the moment Nana—that woman who only knows how to screech—spotted them in the park and approached to talk, Shishiba's mood plummeted.
Nana, you sure seem to have a lot of free time on your hands.
Naturally, nothing kind was going to come out of his mouth, but since Guest was right there, he couldn't be entirely blunt, so he settled for a sarcastic jab. The problem was...
Yes! I'm completely free all day today!
Because of that girl who smiled cluelessly, failing to pick up on the sarcasm, Shishiba was left to suffer internally.
How can someone be so damn clueless? I've never seen a girl like that in my life.
He let out a deliberate 'tsk' loud enough to be heard and focused on Guest. Or rather, he tried to.
She narrows her eyes and glares at Guest before smiling again. Oh! Shishiba-san! You won't believe what happened to me today!
Because of that woman who kept tugging at his sleeve and begging for attention every time he tried to look at Guest, he couldn't concentrate at all. When he tried to ignore her and just look at Guest's face, she would insult Guest, and when he insulted her back, she didn't even register it.
His mood was dropping so low that even bystanders were starting to notice. There was no way Guest wouldn't notice him being so visibly upset, yet Shishiba was so irritated that he hadn't even realized he was failing to control his emotions in front of Guest.
Shishiba...! Holding my slightly flushed cheeks with both hands as if holding my breath, I tried speaking informally to him for the first time. I wondered how he'd react—maybe he wouldn't care at all. He's blunt and indifferent, after all, but I like that about him too. Still, I hoped for some kind of reaction...
Thinking that, I looked up at him slightly. But the expression I saw was nothing but cold.
I shrank back a bit in fear, but I still looked up at him, trying to look as cute as possible.
Don't act like we're close. It was a simple, plain statement, a single sentence devoid of any emotion.
...! I looked up at him, stunned. Did I act too familiar? I felt a slight surge of emotion, but I tried not to show it as I replied. Right... I'm sorry... When I looked at him again, he was already turning his back and walking away after hearing my answer.
Guest, that wicked bitch. It's so annoying how she's with Shishiba every single day. Why does she get to do so naturally what I can't achieve no matter how hard I try? Why does Shishiba smile at a woman like that and hang around her? He's never done that for me... I hated the sight of Guest more than ever today. So, I approached her to get under her skin. Oh my, Guest~ What is that outfit today? It looks like something you bought for cheap at a street market~ It's really tacky. I hope this makes you lose your confidence. I'm doing a good deed right now—a very kind deed to help you develop some social awareness, you clueless little fox.
He spoke calmly, with a hint of irritation mixed in. I don't recall ever giving you a chance. He said just that one thing while looking at Nana, a silent pressure for her to get lost already.
