My Good - Looking Neighbor

Ch 11: How Do I Forget It?

"Have you decided to ride what?" Ryuuji asked as he sipped his drink and looked at the people.

"I don't know." Chizuru replied while doing the same action as Ryuuji.

They were sitting in the food court. Suddenly they are lazy to ride the rides because quite a lot of people are waiting in line. No wonder it is a holiday.

"Hmmmmm..." Ryuuji cleared his throat with his lips still pressed.

He slowly turned his head. And look at the roller coaster. Not too many people lining up. Chizuru noticed Ryuuji's small actions.

"What about ro-"

"No!" Chizuru.

Even before Ryuuji finished his sentence, Chizuru cut him off with a firm yet relaxed answer.

"Come, that's the only ride that has a line that's not too long."

"Hmmmmmmmhmmm. Tidakk." Chizuru continued drinking.

Ryuuji half gave up and continued his activities. He sighed and leaned back leisurely while looking at the idle person. But, Ryuuji also thought, now he and Chizuru have enough laziness not to ride the rides because of the large number of people in line. It would be quite futile to come to the amusement park just to see people passing by while eating and drinking in the food court.

The chain of laziness must stop. The trick is to ride one of the rides that make adrenaline increase and have a line that is not too long. That way there will be the possibility to arouse the desire to ride other rides.

While what Chizuru thought was, she actually wanted to ride and try some rides. But, well since many were in line, he became lazy. Again there are rides that are not too much in line, roller coasters. But Chizuru was too scared to try.

Chizuru glanced at Ryuuji who was looking at people walking and glanced at the roller coaster track. He sighed.

'I was a paid boyfriend. Shouldn't I be a professional even though the one who hired me was the one I knew!?'

The look of Chizuru's eyes fell onto Ryuuji's face again. And once again he stared intensely at the spooky roller coaster track he thought.

"Fyuh, okay. I'm going on a roller coaster ride."

Ryuuji was unwilling to be astonished. Chizuru had refused before. Then it was the same thought as Chizuru in Ryuuji's head. Professionalism. Yeah, Ryuuji likes that enough. But, uh,

"You sure?" I have to ask him one more time.

"Yes, I'm sure." Chizuru replied while nodding.

And so, they ended up riding the roller coaster after a few minutes of queuing up. What is surprising is how different the reaction of Chizuru before and after riding the roller coaster.

Before boarding it, Chizuru had wanted to cancel it because of the fear that finally succeeded in being persuaded by Ryuuji. And after Chizuru got on it, once it came down she just fell silent for a moment and then laughed out loud. Ryuuji actually would not have expected that such a reaction would come.

After the roller coaster, sure enough, they tried several rides and ended with a ferris wheel. Their laziness ends after the adrenaline comes.

Back to the food court, it was late afternoon.

"So it was fun, senpai."

"Well, at least we managed to ride some rides before we got home."

"But you still have a few hours before you finish your date?"

"We're going to the movies, what movies do you like about Chizuru?"

"Hmmmm, I like horror or action."

After talking while eating and drinking in the food court. They both decided to watch a movie. Unfortunately, there are no horror films in theaters right now. So they finally watched an action movie.

After finishing watching the movie, Ryuuji and Chizuru went home. If usually a couple split up at the station after the end of a date like in a mainstream anime or manga, they go home together right up to the apartment. Well, because the same apartment.

...

Ryuuji and Chizuru arrive at the apartment at 9 p.m., an hour before today's dating period ends. Ryuuji stopped his motorbike in the parking lot, and Chizuru immediately got off.

Chizuru shut up for a moment and looked at Ryuuji's motorcycle.

"Ah, I remember something." Chizuru said while taking off her helmet.

"What?" Ryuuji Response.

"Your bike is different today. Scooter matic."

Ryuuji was only pensive for a few seconds. His eyeballs turned upwards. The expression on his face said he was trying to remember something. And then he realized.

"Ohh. Ja. I put it in my friend's house."

"Eh why?" Chizuru tilted her head.

"Um, I thought it would be uncomfortable for you to sit on that tall, small seat."

Chizuru had not expected to hear such an answer from Ryuuji. So he just froze with a funny face. In an instant, he returned to his world.

"Ahems. Thanks for your attention." Chizuru stooped.

A small smile curled up on Ryuuji's face.

"Well, you're together." Ryuuji answered while picking up the key and standing up from the motor.

While walking to the second floor, they chatted without any awkwardness. Unknowingly the two of them reduced the walking speed for the conversation to connect.

"I'll wash and return the clothes you bought today, Senpai."

"Eh? No no no no! Not necessary! That's foryou. And the shoes, too."

"Ets ets, enough! I was planning on buying you something on a date."

"really?"

"Totally true."

"You sure?"

"Yes, 3000%"

"That's a lot of numbers. So this is mine now?"

"Do I have to steal the reality stone from Thanos to change the reality in which you accept my gift?"

Ryuuji asked with a seductive smile. Chizuru also smiled slightly in response to her joke. Looks like a smile.

"Well, you convinced me, Senpai. I'll take it. So you don't have to look for Thanos to the end of the galaxy. It is not good to keep refusing the gifts of others. So, thanks again." Chizuru stooped.

"Together." Ryuuji smiled.

Then Chizuru straightened her body.

"But, for the helmet, I'll carry it anyway." Ryuuji added by pointing towards Ryuuji's helmet that Chizuru was carrying. Not to forget he put on a typical Ryuuji seductive smile.

Chizuru glanced at the helmet she was carrying and smiled back seductively as well.

"Well, this helmet looks really expensive."

"I saved up and added to my job to buy these two helmets." Ryuuji just shrugged his shoulders.

After handing over his helmet to Ryuuji, they both unknowingly arrived in front of his room.

"Thank you for today, Senpai."

"Thank you too. I had a good time today. Then I'll go in. Good night!"

As Ryuuji walked towards the door, Chizuru remembered something. Something important that he forgot for a moment because the holiday was quite pleasant. He looked at Ryuuji's wide back. By the time Ryuuji had turned the key and opened half the door,..

"There's still 1 hour left for the tenancy."

Chizuru spoke quite softly. However, Ryuuji who was not far away, could definitely hear him. Ryuuji turned his head with a plain face.

"Hmm?"

Chizuru raised her face and looked at Ryuuji intensely. He stepped his foot, walking towards Ryuuji.

"I'm, sorry." And bend.

Fyuh, how many times did Chizuru bow?

"I'm sorry? What's for?" Asked Ryuuji who he currently closed the door back with a face of astonishment.

"For me who suddenly scolded you for no apparent reason when you wanted to buy a new digital watch."

'A.' Ryuuji thought in an instant.

Ryuuji's astonished face suddenly disappeared and recalled what Chizuru said. Thanks to that, Ryuuji fell silent. Waiting for quite a while, Chizuru straightened her body slowly. When his body was fully upright, he could see the expression on Ryuuji's face. It was a sad face. Seeing that, inevitably Chizuru started to think negatively.

'Is it very effective? Did I hurt him?'

That's Chizuru's head now. Not only were the thoughts that were in his head swirling around unclear, his heart was now as if it was stirred, and his feelings were pierced by guilt. Therefore Chizuru simply lowered her head, not daring to look at the face of the man in front of her.

They are in a quiet mood now. The temperature also dropped because of that. Plus, this season is autumn.

The now lowered Chizuru could see Ryuuji's feet stepping back. Negative thoughts and excessive thoughts hit his head.

"I also apologize for my cold attitude back then."

But now his reality was different from what he had thought earlier. Evidently it was only Chizuru's negative thoughts that appeared because of guilt. In fact, now the man in front of him is bowing and apologizing, even though it is not his fault. But of course, Ryuuji also felt guilty for the cold treatment he threw towards Chizuru after getting an indistinct anger from her.

'Eh?' Yep girl's. You think too negatively.

Surprised by the sudden change in situation, Chizuru raised her previously immersed face. He looked at Ryuuji who was still bowing in front of him.

'So her sad face earlier, out of guilt?' Chizuru.

Yes, that's right girl. Even Ryuuji felt guilty about the incident. He also intends to apologize. But instead it was forgotten because he had fun today. There is no room to feel sad when the atmosphere is good.

Chizuru woke up from her daydream now.

"Eh, senpai. No need to bend over and apologize for that. From the beginning it was my fault."

Chizuru held onto both of Ryuuji's shoulders frantically and awkwardly, making him to straighten up.

When Ryuuji's posture was in a normal position, Chizuru could see the guilt on her face. Chizuru took a deep breath and gave a small smile.

"Actually you don't need to apologize because it was entirely my fault. But, I forgive you, Senpai. And once again I ask maa-"

Chizuru's words were completely silenced by Ryuuji's hand touching her head.

"I'm sorry!"

Ryuuji rubbed Chizuru's head. Just then, Chizuru could see the sweet smile that Ryuuji's lips formed. And at the same time, he could feel his heart pumping blood faster than usual.
