Saenai Boku ga Kimi no Heya de Shiteiru Koto wo Kurasumeito ha Dare mo Shiranai

Chapter 9 - Only Touyama Knows My Hidden Secret

[Takai Yumi's POV]

Ever since I went to karaoke with Yuki and the others, I've been going out more and more with Uehara and the others after school.

Recently, Aizawa-san started calling me "Yuzu".

Today, at my request, I came to the bookstore with Aizawa and Uehara.

「Yuzu always reads difficult books.」

We stood in front of the corner marked "Pure Literature".

「Yes? I don't think it's difficult, but it's just that it's hard to understand.」

I explained to Aizawa-san that the so-called pure literature are works that attach importance to art and pursue the beauty and fluidity of the text. The more famous works are Osamu Dazai's『Human Disqualification』、Kenji Miyazawa『Galaxy Railroad Night』and many more.

TL/N: Btw, I also like to read Osamu Dazai's literary work titled "Sunset" whose story is quite a mental hit to me, after that you read something relaxing first like reading his book titled "Tokyo School Girl", if you relax you can also read the book titled "Embarrassing Life" that book made me quite mentally hit lah, btw, I bought this book using donations from you guys wkwkwkw

「Does it feel like a text version of a picture? Just like ordinary people who can't see the quality of paintings, I don't understand at all. Besides, I feel dizzy when I look at the text."

「After all, Mika only reads manga. If you're not good at writing Chinese characters, it's better to read more.」

「Didn't Marika also only read the manga before? I don't want to be told that by you who started reading with the impure motive of wanting to get close to Touyama.」

「Wait, wait, Mika! You, what are you talking about? It's not like that！」

「Eh? isn't it? Sorry if I made a mistake! ?」

「Mika...you did it on purpose, right?？」

「Who knows.」

I know very well that the reason Uehara-san often comes to the library to ask about books is because he wants to have a good relationship with Yuki.

「But to be serious, Mika would be better off reading more. Not only can I understand Chinese characters, but I can also find fields that I like, reading in my spare time is also a very enjoyable thing."

「Being able to read Chinese characters is really the same feeling as an elementary school student. But since all of my nutrition went into my breasts and wasn't sent to my brain, it made me an idiot.」

Saying that, Aizawa grabbed Uehara's plump breasts with her hands from behind.

「hiii！」

「Marika... Your breasts are getting bigger again? I can't hold them with my full hand anymore.」

「Can I touch them too?」

Without waiting for Uehara-san's answer, I placed my hand on her large chest.

「Even Takai-san too！？」

Unbelievable... It's so big... As expected, Yuki also thinks it's better to be big.

I put my hands on my breasts, and the huge gap between me and Uehara-san almost made me lose my confidence as a woman.

「I'm so jealous of Uehara-san's big breasts.」

「Marika will give us some of these useless parts of her breasts.」

Aizawa-san's are the same size as mine, or even a little smaller.

「Seriously, what are you two talking about in a place like this. It's so embarrassing, don't say that again.」

I looked around a bit, as three high school girls were arguing about the topic of breasts, and the eyes of the surrounding men were all focused on Uehara-san.

As expected, Uehara-san not only has big breasts, but she is also very cute. Would Yuki be happy if I could become Uehara-san too?

Uehara-san said that she was embarrassed to be seen by the people around her, so we left the bookstore after we settled the bill.

After leaving the bookstore we chatted and moved to the cafe.

「Hey, does Yuzu really have bad eyesight?」

Aizawa-san probably noticed my thick-rimmed glasses and asked.

「My eyesight isn't bad, it's just a pair of flat mirrors.」

「Eh? They're flat mirrors...」

Uehara-san looked a little surprised that I was wearing flat glasses.

I took off my glasses and showed Aizawa-san and the others to look at the lenses.

「Ah, that's right. Why is Takai-san wearing flat glasses?」

It's understandable if it's for fashion, but this flat mirror isn't pretty if it's to get compliments. So it makes no sense for Uehara-san and the others to ask me.

「I...that...I'm not very confident in my own makeup...」

「Eh!? Takai-san is obviously a very beautiful person, why are you thinking about yourself like this?"

The somewhat surprised Uehara-san didn't seem to be complimenting me, but actually thought so.

「Beautiful or whatever... I don't think that's the case...."

「Yumi you really have good makeup, it's a pity to hide it.」

「Yes, yes, if that's the case, why don't you take off your glasses and change your hairstyle? I think that would be really cute. I'm looking for a suitable hairstyle for Takai-san. 」

Saying that, Uehara-san took out her phone and searched for a hairstyle catalog, then passed the phone between me and Aizawa-san.

「How about this hairstyle?」

Uehara-san showed a photo of a model with short hair.

「If the hair is always black, it will make people feel heavy, and it would be better to color it a little brighter.」

I have medium to long black hair right now and I haven't dyed it at all.

「How? That kind of hairstyle. I think it suits Yumi very well.」

「Does it suit me?」

「Since it was chosen by Marika, I think it must suit you. After all, this kid is very good at helping people dress up.」

「I also chose clothes for Touyama before. He looked very suitable back then, and he was so handsome, I really wanted you two to see it too.」

When I thought of Uehara-san choosing clothes for Yuki, my heart ached.

「If Yumi also changed your hairstyle, took off your glasses, and became cute, is it possible that you can confidently show yourself to Touyama?」

Aizawa-san sounded like she knew that I had a crush on Yuki.

「Eh!? Does Takai-san also like Toyama?」

From the point of view of Uehara-san said, "Yes, I didn't mean to hide my liking for Toyama at all.

「I, that's...for Yu, no, I'm not like that to Touyama-kun...」

In order not to let the other party know about our current relationship, I deliberately pretended not to care.

「Yes, yes... That's great... What should I do if a cute girl like Takai-san becomes my love rival.」

Uehara-san and Aizawa-san both said I'm cute.

Will Yuki be happy if I change my hairstyle and take off my glasses?

I want to attract Yuki's attention, and I'll start by making myself more cute.

———Scene Change———

◇ ◇ ◇

In the morning, Touyama, who came to school, stepped into the classroom and found that the classroom was noisier than usual.

What about today's situation?

Looking around the classroom, all the girls were gathered in one place as if they were making noise.

I remember that seat was... Takai's! ?

A moment of unease flashed through Touyama's mind, Touyama wondered if something was wrong with him.

Approaching Takai's chair, he peered through the gap between the crowd.

Eh!?

The one sitting there was not a country girl with medium dark hair and thick black-rimmed glasses, but a pretty girl with short hair, dyed her hair brightly, and took off her glasses to be cute.

「Touyama, Takai-san has become a very beautiful woman, are you surprised?」

Just when Touyama was dumbfounded, Uehara spoke with a satisfied look on her face.

「Ahhh...I knew Takai-san was beautiful, so I wasn't surprised. But it's really surprising that she can change her image.」

Takai had gone to great lengths to avoid getting involved with others in the past, but now he would deliberately turn towards the visible, which showed that his mood had undergone a considerable change.

「Touyama has long noticed that Takai is beautiful！？」

Uehara looked surprised that Touyama noticed Takai's hidden beauty.

Seeing her again like this, Takai was truly a beautiful woman.

「Touyama, how can you see Yuzu's charm. Are you now obsessed with Yuzu?」

Aizawa spoke jokingly.

「No, no, that's not the case... I just feel that if she becomes more popular, she and I will suddenly become very distant, and I will feel a little lonely."

「Oh oh oh, Touyama is definitely not Yumi's boyfriend, why do you want the monopoly?」

Aizawa, who was smiling, found it funny.

「Mmm」

On the contrary, Uehara didn't find it interesting.

The days when Takai no longer needed Touyama might be coming soon. Thinking of this, Touyama could not deny that he felt a little lonely.

Takai was surrounded by girls in class and was asked a lot of questions. In contrast, Touyama watched the scene from a distance.

Touyama probably didn't know how to deal with the suddenly beautiful Takai.

『Takai-san, is it possible that you changed your image because of someone you like? 』

『Ah, this is very concerning.』

Like『eh who,』『Is it Kurashima-kun? 』Everyone said something to themselves, but only Kurashima... Absolutely not!

Takai, who wasn't used to talking to others, didn't know what to do, so he could only speak「Yes......」or「that......」such ambiguity.

「Okay, you saw Yumi with a troubled face, right? Although I know everyone cares about that, the class meeting is about to start. Everyone, please return to your seats."

Aizawa dispersed the human wall beside Takai to take their seats. As expected of someone from the former circle's top brass. Speaking not only upright, but also influential.

The students who gathered at Takai's seat scattered back to their seats like spider children.

「Takai-san, this hairstyle suits you perfectly.」

Taking aim as everyone left, Touyama whispered to Takai.

Takai's expression rarely changed, and his face was flushed with a shocked but embarrassed expression.

「Oh, oh, oh... How did Touyama seduce Yumi?」

Hearing Aizawa's most troublesome words, Touyama smiled wryly.

「No, I was just praising her frankly.」

「Yes, I thought so. However, if you praise her so much, you should be careful not to make Marika jealous. hum hum.」

Aizawa seemed to find this situation funny.
