Don't treat me like a child! - 15
"Oopsey-daisy~☆"
Â
Â
Â
"Uuuu..."
Â
Â
Â
Nonomi pulled me out from under the table.
Yes, literally pulled me out.
Â
Â
Â
She tried to hug me just as she pulled me out, but I desperately struggled and escaped.
Â
Â
Â
"Aw..."
Â
Â
Â
Nonomi looked disappointed.
Â
Â
Â
You might think it would be nice to be hugged by a pretty girl like Nonomi, right?
Â
Â
Â
It's not just the two of us, and there's no way I could handle the stares while being hugged.
Â
Â
Â
"Nito, your face is even redder now."
Â
Â
Â
Yeah, Momoi, can you just shut up?
Â
Â
Â
"Ah, it's even redder."
Â
Â
Â
Overwhelmed with shame, I tried to go back under the table, but Shiroko stopped me, and I ended up crouching down on my chair.
Â
Â
Â
When I curled up as much as possible, the shame felt a little less intense than before.
Â
Â
Â
"By the way, Nito, why didn't you tell us you were younger than us?"
Â
Â
Â
Momoi mentioned that she had her Millennium entrance ceremony this year, and asked why I hid my younger age even knowing that.
Â
Â
Â
Or maybe Momoi just wants to tease me more.
Â
Â
Â
"Just because..."
Â
Â
Â
"Just because?"
Â
Â
Â
"It's embarrassing..."
Â
Â
Â
How could I be younger than you guys?
Â
Â
Â
"Huh~? I can't hear you, you're too small~?"
Â
Â
Â
That damn rotten cat...
Â
Â
Â
Click-
Â
Â
Â
"Waaah!! Sorry, Nito!!"
Â
Â
Â
"Sis, can you not use me as a shield?"
Â
Â
Â
I'll let it slide this once.
Â
Â
Â
"Ahaha~♧ You're such fun kids~♤"
Â
Â
Â
I wish Nonomi would stop treating me like a kid too...
Â
Â
Â
"I wish everyone would stop treating me like a kid..."
Â
Â
Â
So I said it.
But...
Â
Â
Â
The table erupted in laughter.
Â
Â
Â
"Haha! Nito, you really are still a kid!"
Â
Â
Â
First Momoi,
Â
Â
Â
"Hehehe... That kind of reaction makes you look even younger, Nito."
Â
Â
Â
Midori,
Â
Â
Â
"Hehe~ Our Nito-chan is already so mature~ Good girl~."
Â
Â
Â
"Ahaha~ You're right~☆"
Â
Â
Â
Hoshino and Nonomi,
Â
Â
Â
"Okay, I won't treat you like a kid..."
Â
Â
Â
And, the unknowingly cruel Shiroko.
Â
Â
Â
"......"
Â
Â
Â
"Ahem, your food is ready."
Â
Â
Â
Oh, and finally, the waiter who happened to overhear everything.
Â
Â
Â
"Nito, your face is red again-"
Â
Â
Â
"Sob..."
Â
Â
Â
"Huh, what's wrong?"
Â
Â
"Waaaaah..."
Â
Â
Â
I burst into tears from the overwhelming shame and lethal embarrassment.
Â
Â
Â
I tried desperately to hold it in, but I kept sobbing uncontrollably.
Â
Â
Â
Do you think I want to be young?
Originally, I'm actually much older than you all...
Â
Â
Â
"Waaaaah! I hate you all! Sniff, I'm leaving!"
Â
Â
Â
"We're sorry, Nito-chan, come here..."
Â
Â
Â
"Waaaaah!"
Â
Â
Â
"Uh, what should we do, Midori?"
Â
Â
Â
"You made her cry. Apologize first."
Â
Â
Â
"Ugh, really? Sorry, Nito..."
Â
Â
Â
Hoshino and Shiroko were just watching this scene while eating the food that had just arrived.
Â
Â
Â
Maybe they are the real winners?
Â
Â
Â
After all the commotion,
Â
Â
Â
"Sniff..."
Â
Â
Â
"Sorry, Nito... Please stop being upset now..."
Â
Â
Â
Finally, after Nonomi gave me a tight hug, things calmed down.
It was actually quite comforting.
Â
Â
Â
Stroke- Stroke-
Â
Â
Â
"Now, now, Nito-chan? They apologized so much, can't you forgive them just this once?"
Â
Â
Â
Nonomi stroked my head.
It's hard to believe she's younger than Hoshino.
Â
Â
Â
More than that, this is so comfortable it's making me nervous...
What if I can't escape Nonomi for the rest of my life?
Â
Â
Â
"Ugh... I'll forgive you just this once... Sniff..."
Â
Â
Â
"O-Okay! Thank you..."
Â
Â
Â
After everything settled down, one thought came to mind.
Â
Â
Â
"Um..."
Â
Â
Â
"Yes~☆"
Â
Â
Â
"When are you going to let me go...?"
Â
Â
Â
"Aha~♧ It's so comfortable I didn't even realize~♤"
Â
Â
Â
I tried to get up to go back to my seat, but,
Â
Â
Â
"Heave-ho~☆"
Â
Â
Â
"Huh?!"
Â
Â
Â
Nonomi hugged me again.
Â
Â
Â
"Let's just stay like this~♤"
Â
Â
Â
"U-Ugh..."
Â
Â
Â
I struggled, but she was too strong, and I couldn't break free.
Â
Â
Â
Stroke- Stroke-
Â
Â
Â
"D-Don't pat my head...!"
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, do you not like it..."
Â
Â
Â
"......"
Â
Â
Â
You know you're doing it on purpose.
Right?
Â
Â
Â
"Let go now..."
Â
Â
Â
"Okay~â™§"
Â
Â
Â
Finally, she let go.
I feel at peace.
Â
Â
Â
For some reason, I feel a strange sense of reluctance, but it must be my imagination.
Â
Â
Â
As I went to sit down, Momoi and Midori started whispering.
Â
Â
Â
"By the way, Nito's expression was amazing..."
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah... I've never seen her like that before."
Â
Â
Â
"What are you two talking about...?"
Â
Â
Â
"Huh?! Oh, nothing, yeah, nothing at all!"
Â
Â
Â
"Really...?"
Â
Â
Â
I was suspicious, but I let it go.
Â
Â
Â
Anyway, I went to my seat.
When I checked my phone, there were a bunch of Momotalk notifications.
Â
Â
Â
-Nito-chan, where are you now?
3:36 PM
Â
Â
Â
-Did you go out with your friends?
3:36 PM
Â
Â
Â
-Aren't you just too (lol) cute, Nito-chan? (lol)
4:01 PM
Â
Â
Â
-Don't treat me like a kid, you say? (lol) Even if you say that, you're definitely still a kid, Nito-chan (lol)
4:02 PM
Â
Â
Â
Grind...
Â
Â
Â
"Nito?!"
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, it's nothing. Nothing at all... Yeah, don't worry about it."
Â
Â
Â
"O-Okay..."
Â
Â
Â
That damn president...
Someday, I'll punch a hole in that smiling face.
And then I'll throw her to Sensei...
Â
Â
Â
-Huh~? It says you read it, Nito-chan~? Are you too embarrassed to answer~?
4:17 PM
Â
Â
Â
-It's okay, Nito-chan. If you're embarrassed, I'll give you a hug?
4:17 PM
Â
Â
Â
Clench...
Â
Â
Â
"Eek!"
Â
Â
Â
That damn guy...
No, girl.
Â
Â
Â
"Uhee~ I'm done eating~."
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah... I'm finished too."
Â
Â
Â
"Is that so? Then let's go~â™§"
Â
Â
Â
We left the restaurant with the Abydos group who had just finished their meal.
I need to go home quickly and figure out a way to definitely get back at the president.
Â
Â
Â
"Come again~!"
Â
Â
Â
As if I'd come back.
Â
Â
Â
"We have to take a different lines, so... We'll part ways here."
Â
Â
Â
"I see... Take care, everyone~."
Â
Â
Â
"Get home safely."
Â
Â
Â
"Okay~♤"
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah, bye."
Â
Â
Â
"Uhee~ Let's meet again~."
Â
Â
Â
"......"
Â
Â
Â
So, we parted ways with the Abydos group-
Â
Â
Â
"Uhehe~ Is Nito-chan not going to say goodbye~?"
Â
Â
Â
"...See you next time..."
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah~ Thanks~ Nito-chan, bye~."
Â
Â
Â
Now we've really parted ways.
Â
Â
Â
I was so happy playing at the expo, but why did those Abydos guys have to come to the sushi restaurant I carefully chose and ruin everything?
Â
Â
Â
We got on the subway and luckily found empty seats.
Â
Â
Â
I would be home as soon as I got off at my stop, but Momoi and Midori had to go a little further.
Â
Â
Â
"Yaaawn..."
Â
Â
Â
It had been such a tiring day that I felt sleepy as soon as I sat down.
Â
Â
Â
No matter how hard I tried to stay awake, my eyes wouldn't stay open.
Â
Â
Â
I eventually lost consciousness.
Â
Â
Â
"Ahaha, Nito-chan is so cute."
Â
Â
Â
Ugh... Why is Sensei here...?
Â
Â
Â
"Wh-What?"
Â
Â
Â
"What do you mean, Nito-chan? I was just letting you use my lap as a pillow."
Â
Â
Â
I felt the sensation of a thigh against the back of my head.
Â
Â
Â
"Agh?!"
Â
Â
Â
I immediately sat up,
Â
Â
Â
"Oof!"
Â
Â
Â
I bumped into Momoi.
Â
Â
Â
Huh...?
Â
Â
Â
"Ow... Nito, did you sleep well? We're almost at our stop..."
Â
Â
Â
"Haaak... Haaak..."
Â
Â
Â
What, it was a dream...
Thank goodness.
Â
Â
Â
"Why do you look so pale? Did you have a bad dream?"
Â
Â
Â
"It was a nightmare."
Â
Â
Â
Yeah.
And it was the worst nightmare ever.
