Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

-Yui’s POV-

『How do you feel?』

A mail from Kazu.

Though it’s a simple message of kana characters, it makes my heart beat.

He cares about me so much.

However, I don’t know if it’s in a romantic way.

His occasional boyish expression, which is not very romantic, and his adult-like gazes, which is a gaze of someone looking after children, are mixed together making it difficult for me to know how he feels about me.

That’s what makes him attractive, though.

Come to think of it, I don’t really know what “love” means in a romantic way.

However, I’m sure this is love.

If someone says it’s not, that someone must be wrong.

Do boys like it to be more daring?

I hear all boys of my age are naughty.

But just bringing his face close to mine makes me nervous.

Just by touching his body makes my head almost explode and I can’t remember half of what I did.

Just thinking about him like this makes my heart race and my face burn.

This is the only moment of happiness I can feel while I’m in this house.

『I’m okay, thank you for asking』 is my reply.

I really want to send him something longer but sending so many messages of 20 characters or less might make me look like a stalker, like in those popular TV dramas.

I need to be patient.

I repeatedly read his emails, clutch my PHS to my chest, and lie on my bed.

As I’m doing that, the PHS rings.

We’re investigating the source of drugs on our own but it’s still too early for our investigation to come into fruition.

I look at the LCD panel of the PHS hoping it is Kazu.

Unfortunately, what was displayed there was not his name.
