Chapter 90 – Eve
Morning, ten o’clock.
In Kazumi’s room in the Chindou Hall residential area.
The young girl, dressed in pajamas, was sitting at her desk as usual every weekend, holding a textbook she usually studied and reading it intently.
But today, Kazumi seemed a bit different from usual?
After carefully flipping through the book for two more pages and committing the content to memory, Kazumi’s eyes inadvertently glanced at the alarm clock not far away. The large “ten o’clock” on the alarm clock indicated the current time.
[Only one hour left before I can get ready to go out.]
She calculated silently in her mind, then shifted her gaze to the neatly arranged clothes on the chair beside her, as well as some carefully prepared small decorations and cosmetics.
[Kazumi, what are you doing, Kazumi!!!]
Seeing this, Kazumi finally couldn’t help it. She angrily slammed the book in her hand onto the desk, causing the water-based pen on the desk to fall to the ground with a crisp clatter.
If it wasn’t her doing these things, she would definitely teach that person a harsh lesson.
Are you an idiot?!!
So excited about a so-called date that you can’t sleep all night??
Running to the toilet in the middle of the night to wash your shoes, are you a ghost??
And you even fantasize about wearing casual clothes from when you went on missions, you stinky brat, do you really not know how to write the word “death”!!
At this moment, Kazumi was completely falling apart. If she hadn’t clearly known that all of this was Sato Shinichi’s feelings for her that were causing her distress, Kazumi would have thought there was another personality inside her body.
This matter is too upsetting. It’s just a date, and in Kazumi’s plan, all of this was a prelude to better utilize Sato Shinichi.
But why did it completely change taste when it was implemented?
Like a maiden in love, after hearing the invitation from the person she admired, she was so excited that she couldn’t control herself and prepared all night.
Actually, Kazumi could still accept not being able to sleep at first. After all, her body had become somewhat special due to her abilities, and her required sleep time was greatly reduced. Not sleeping for a day was a normal thing. Sometimes, when Kazumi got engrossed in reading, she would easily stay up all night and make up for it the next day.
But what Kazumi couldn’t accept the most was that she, because of going on a date with Sato Shinichi, even wanted to wear those casual clothes in the closet!!
Perhaps it was because she usually wore school uniforms. Thinking that it was her first date, her body naturally wanted to wear other “nice” clothes.
First of all, let’s not even mention whether the pure black clothes chosen by the original owner’s extremely bizarre aesthetic were good-looking. Just the fact that Kazumi had engaged in activities with Fukada Akihiko while wearing these clothes before meant that Kazumi would absolutely not wear them out!!
Although she now knew that the so-called mission before was just a game set up by Uncle Fukada to take care of her, she had still been in contact with him. With Kazumi’s meticulousness, she would absolutely not allow herself to make such a mistake.
Adding buying casual clothes to her schedule, Kazumi planned to immediately pack these black clothes into the [Black Coffin] and destroy them as soon as she bought new clothes.
But after making this decision, a new problem arose. When Kazumi lazily took one of the only two uniforms from the hanger, feelings of unwillingness, sadness, and shame surged out all at once.
It was as if wearing such clothes on a date would make her look like a country bumpkin and embarrass her in front of the person she admired.
Kazumi struggled for a long time with the sudden tantrums of her body. It wasn’t until she found a hairpin and some cosmetics in the box that she managed to suppress the feeling of unhappiness in her heart.
Alright, in order not to let her body actually do something dangerous like wearing casual clothes on a date, Kazumi finally surrendered. She took out some of the girl’s old decorative trinkets, hoping to suppress the unhappy feeling in her heart with them.
As for the effect, emmm, it can only be said that it was slightly effective. At least the emotional fluctuations were not to an unbearable extent. But it also meant that she probably needed to dress up before going on a date??
This is simply a nightmare!!
“Why go on a date when you can stay home and read and study, isn’t that better?!”
Now that things had developed to this point, Kazumi had no mood to continue reading. Or rather, with her efficiency of glancing at the clock every ten minutes while reading, it was better not to read at all!
She stood up, took a sip of water with some annoyance, picked up her phone, and replied to Sato Shinichi’s message. This silly, honest guy had replied to her message early in the morning. Was he, like those virgins on their first date with their girlfriend, so excited that he couldn’t sleep all night!
Picturing Sato Shinichi’s immensely excited and foolish look, Kazumi’s mood improved slightly. She sent another cat emoji, put down her phone, and started changing into the neatly folded clothes on the chair.
Then, she took out a small black box. According to Kazumi’s memory, it was a birthday gift from Uncle Fukada last year, containing some very basic cosmetics.
Although the previous Kazumi had put this box away in the closet with disinterest, she immediately remembered it when such a situation arose.
With a somewhat dazed look, she opened the box and looked at the various bottles and jars. Kazumi showed a look of despair.
“So, how do I use all these things!!”
……
Forenoon, eleven twenty, outside the mall.
The young girl in uniform walked to the side of the mall with a hint of despair. Her previously plain features were slightly enhanced after a light application of makeup. Combined with the girl’s aloof expression and the unique uniform of Shikoku Junior High School, passersby couldn’t help but cast more glances at this somewhat special girl.
As for the reason for Kazumi’s despair, perhaps only she herself knew.
Helplessly touching her forehead, Kazumi took out her phone and looked at the “eleven twenty” displayed on it, muttering to herself in despair.
“What kind of girl arrives forty minutes early for a date!! What was I thinking!!”
Standing in place, Kazumi picked up her phone and opened the chat window. Now, all she could hope for was to urge Sato Shinichi to come earlier. Otherwise, waiting here awkwardly for forty minutes would be too stupid!!
But before the text edited in the girl’s phone could be sent, a familiar shout rang out.
“Kiyomizu-san!!”
