My Good - Looking Neighbor

Ch 9: Isn't That Too Crazy??

Today is Saturday, a perfect day for a day-long date. Early in the morning Chizuru was dressed up beautifully. More beautiful than usual. Because today the customer who booked is a VIP. There will be special treatment of course. The clothes worn accentuated all her aura of beauty all the way to the top.

Chizuru wears a rather tight sleeveless sweater and a long skirt just above the knee. He also wears heels and a small bag.

Before going out, he made sure everything was neat and ready. He stood in front of the mirror and encouraged himself.

'Yosh!'

Chizuru came out of the apartment. Now is the hour where Ryuuji usually waits for him in front to depart for campus. And usually on holidays like this, Ryuuji usually warms up below in the current hour. But what Chizuru saw now was, nothing.

As he looked down, in the parking lot of the private vehicle, Chizuru did not find Ryuuji's motorcycle. That is, Ryuuji has now gone out of nowhere.

Instantly, the sight of Ryuuji with a blank look that left without a greeting appeared on Chizuru's head. They've been pretty close all along, even though it's only been about 3 weeks that they've known each other. So, the feeling of lying to her all this time was a bit bothering her.

'Fyuh, I'll apologize after this.'

After a few minutes by train and walk, Chizuru finally arrived at the meeting place. The meeting place is the same cafe that Umi and Chizuru met before.

While on the train Chizuru and the customer, Akira, have been chatting with each other. Akira will be waiting for him at the cafe. He would wear a black T-shirt, black cargo pants, a black hat and a black mask. Everything is black. Chizuru had a chance to think, whether she was grieving or something. But he immediately dispelled such thoughts.

As soon as Chizuru entered the cafe, she was immediately able to recognize her date partner today. He sat in the corner playing his phone. Chizuru.

"Excuse me, are you, Watanabe Akira-san?"

Chizuru's soft voice resuscitated the man in front of her. This Akira man slowly looked at her.

"Mizuhara Chizuru?"

"Yes, I dated Watanabe-san today."

"Hmmm, you're even prettier than you look in your profile."

"Ah thank you."

"Please sit. And don't hesitate to order anything."

"Then I will trouble you Watanabe-san."

As Chizuru sat down, she thought somehow the man in front of her felt very familiar to her. From the proportions of the body, fashion sense, his voice even the way he treats it.

After their order comes, Chizuru drinks the cappuccino. So is her date today. He ordered a red velvet latte. As soon as she opened the hat and mask, Chizuru could not believe what she saw.

"W-You!??? Senpai???"

Is correct. The man in front of him right now was his 'love' neighbor, Shinjo Ryuuji. Ryuuji who saw the reaction of his neighbor, felt quite satisfied. He laughed lightly.

"Yes. Bingo. I'm senpai and your neighbor. Ah and also your boyfriend for the next 12 hours."

"Ouk!?"

Chizuru. His heart seemed to fly into the sky. Who would have thought his client was his own neighbor. The neighbors seemed to have avoided it before.

"But? How's it?"

Chizuru asked by slamming her cup very weakly.

Ryuuji smiled mischievously. Well, the plan to surprise her pretty neighbor was quite successful. Seeing Chizuru's cute face, Ryuuji shook his head and took the smartphone out of his pocket. He fiddled for a bit and showed it to Chizuru with the screen facing behind him.

Chizuru did not mind the silent treatment she received and only looked at the smartphone screen Ryuuji showed her.

"Senpai, I know you're using Diamond. I mean how did you find out? Looks like you're not the type to always use this app."

Ryuuji just responded casually while putting his smartphone on the table.

"Yes that's it. I'm not that type. You know, I have 3 friends you met a few weeks ago."

Chizuru nodded and waited for the continuation of the story.

"One of my friends, a tall one, Keiji, he was looking around at Diamond. I was with him too. At that time I saw a beautiful face that was very familiar in the application. You can guess who that is." Ryuuji.

Ryuuji was silent for a moment and Chizuru nodded her head twice.

"Well and so. As soon as I got home I checked it out on the web and subscribed to VIP."

As soon as the story finished Ryuuji leaned back and casually drank his cold red velvet.

"So yes."

"so. But you know, I wonder how people have been unaware of your disguise all this time? I can know it in one look. Are you actually the female lead in the comics or what?"

Chizuru only looked on with a wry smile after hearing Ryuuji's honest opinion.

"Is that as bad as my disguise?"

Ryuuji simply raised one of his eyebrows and leaned back tiredly. He sighed and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. He wondered how this girl was not aware that her disguise was bad enough that Ryuuji, himself could notice it in just one look. Beauty like Chizuru is a bit hard to hide.

Ryuuji could see the wrinkles on Chizuru's face due to the opinions that came out of her mouth.

"That's bad. At least according. Well, as long as the people around you don't realize it, hmmm, I think it's safe."

So, at least after surprising him with the fact that Ryuuji's version might be hard to accept, he relieved it with majority opinion and facts. And yep it worked. Chizuru's face condition is somewhat controlled. The change is pretty sweet. His face returned without any wrinkles and his body relaxed slightly.

Chizuru sipped her cappuccino casually.

"Is that just to cheer me up?"

Ryuuji simply raised his right eyebrow while staring at Chizuru.

"Where do I know. Whaddya think? Are the people around you aware of your disguise?" Ask Ryuuji.

Chizuru was just holding her cappuccino cup. He thought for a moment and answered.

"I don't think so."

"Now you know. I'm not just entertaining you."

Chizuru remained silent for a moment and thought. Ryuuji who was in front of him, as usual sat down leisurely and full of charisma. He's chatting with a client right now, apologizing for taking the day off. So he was staring at his phone.

"But there's one more person who knows my disguise. Hmmm I think I should be more careful." Cetus Chizuru who was previously silent.

Ryuuji who heard it was a little surprised. But there are people Ryuuji is thinking about right now.

"Hmmmm, was that your boyfriend from yesterday? Real girlfriend?" Guess Ryuuji.

"Ehh?? Not not not not. Of course it wasn't. Umi-kun is just my friend."

Chizuru quickly replied while waving her hand. His expression was not like that of a panicked person. It was just a casual answer that looked unconcerned. Looking at her reaction, Ryuuji could guess most likely that Chizuru's answer was correct and honest. Ryuuji slightly smiled, put down his phone and leaned back.

"so yeah. Then who do you mean?"

"Kinoshita Kazuya's. First-year students majoring.emmmm majors.what was that time.emmm ah, Business Administration."

"Oh, our university? How did you meet?"

Chizuru could see Ryuuji's relaxed face. Something strange about his expression. His expression was actually normal and friendly, but somehow something was different.

'Only my imagination is possible.'

"Um, he hired me. And she learned of my disguise the next day when we passed by accident on campus. He hired me again and we met again in the hospital by accident not long ago." Answer Chizuru.

For some reason upon hearing Chizuru's reply, Ryuuji felt that the hospital was the same one where his chatty grandfather was being treated.

"Is that a CCRA hospital?"

Chizuru was not too surprised to hear Ryuuji's guess. After all it was a hospital quite close to the apartment.

"How do you know, Senpai?"

"My grandfather was admitted to that hospital. Remember the day I drove you on the bike?"

Well, only now is Chizuru's reaction a shocked person's reaction.

"Don't tell me..."

"Yes. I just went home to see my grandfather at the time."

"Aah so yeah."

"Back to the laptop. Why did you come to the hospital, Mizuhara?"

Chizuru feels a bit strange being called by her fake last name by Ryuuji.

"My grandmother was also treated there."

Ryuuji was not surprised. Quite a lot of strange coincidences that she had with the beautiful girl in front of her. And now she says that her grandmother is being treated in the same hospital where her grandfather was being treated. It just happens to be pretty crazy.

"Now it's surprising. Quite a lot of strange coincidences we experience. Are you now going to say that Kinoshita's grandmother was also treated there?"

Chizuru was again surprised by Ryuuji's guess. This time the right guess. Chizuru simply shrugged and leaned back in her chair while drinking her cappuccino.

"Don't tell me it's true?" Ask Ryuuji.

"Yup, 100%." Chizuru replied with a helpless smile.

Ryuuji. Even the expression on his face was also following his body. Then he blinked a few times and leaned back on the chair.

"Now it's crazy."
