Going to School with a Beautiful Girl

“―Eh? You want to go to school with me?”

As we were going to school separately, Charlotte-san stopped me from asking for help.

It's just me, justifying so.

"Yes ... What is it, no …?"

Charlotte-san looked at me with rosy cheeks and an upward look.

But apparently she was conscious of avoiding eye contact with me, and her gaze was directed at my neck.

Erm, what's with this situation?

Why is Charlotte-san's cheek flushed?

Besides, why did he look so embarrassed?

I was confused by the sudden development as I observed Charlotte-san's condition.

She's even sweeter than usual now, and I feel like I'm going to feel weird looking at her.

More than anything, my heart skipped a beat at his unexpected invitation.

To be honest, I just wanted to accept his offer, but there was a reason why I couldn't do that.

“Sorry, but if anyone sees me, it will be troublesome.”.

Charlotte-san's petite appearance made her very attractive to everyone around her.

Going to school with him is like showing off our relationships with the people around us.

At the very least, there would be many rumors circulating that had no basis in facts.

In the end, it will be a problem for Charlotte-san.

So I refused.

“We can go as far as where there are only a few other students attending school... Is that still not good enough for you.?”.

"But…"

In your case, if there's even one person, it's out …

I was about to say those words, but I saw Charlotte-san shrug her shoulders as I entered from the negative, and I swallowed my words.

I still don't know why he asked me out.

But I knew from her disappointment that she really wanted to go to school with me.

The reason why I turned down one school with her is because I don't want Charlotte-san to get into trouble.

But is it something I should protect, even if I ignore her feelings?

Instead of explaining it properly, I gave him another reason to cover it up.

I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, but because of that, I couldn't ask her what she was really thinking.

One thing I do know is that Charlotte-san wants to go to school with me, even if she should be seen walking with me.

It's hard to believe that she doesn't understand what people think about the men and women who walk with― after all, she's a smart person.

…..Yes, I really want to go to school with Charlotte-san so I can think of many reasons now…

I was so nervous with him.

In short, I'm happy just to be with him.

As Charlotte-san said, it might be okay to go with her to places where other students rarely pass by.

If something were to happen, we could make up some excuses like we happened to meet each other.

I'm sure Charlotte-san will be able to respond flexibly if that happens.

Besides, this might be a chance to clear up the misconception that I'm scary.

you don't want to miss an opportunity, do you?

"Sorry, but I think I'll go with you until we get to the part where there's more people."

After much deliberation, I decided to accept Charlotte-san's offer and replied with a smile.

Then Charlotte-san looked at me with a confused expression, but after a while, her expression turned to shock and she hurriedly shook her face from side to side.

As I looked at her, wondering what was the matter, Charlotte-san rubbed her right hair with her right hand, played it, and slowly opened her mouth.

“T-thank you very much..”

As she thanked me, Charlotte-san's expression looked like a shy smile, and I turned my head away.

Charlotte-san's cheeks flushed red as she smiled happily, she was so attractive that looking at her almost made my face red.

“B-alright, let's go now..”.

I squeezed my voice out of my dying throat, because stopping like this would only make time go by in vain.

Please ignore the fact that I feel a little arrogant.

"Yes…!"

Charlotte-san happily agreed, and I started walking towards the school, but unexpected events stopped me.

I don't know why, but as soon as I started walking, Charlotte-san gripped my sleeve.

“Cha-cha-cha-charlotte-san..!?”

“Ah... Umm, is.... not good..?”

As I called out to her, she looked at me with a worried look on her face.

“No, it's okay.”

There was no way I could say no with such an expression on my face.

I immediately nodded my head.

“Ah― thank you very much..!”

When I agreed, Charlotte-san thanked me again with a very happy expression on her face.

And then she let out a “ehehe” laugh like Emma-chan, sort of a happy smile on her face.

I looked at him and thought with a confused mind,
