The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 175. Aihara Riori's Exciting Day

175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. 175. Aihara Riori’s Exciting Day

Today is the day for me, Senpai, and Isezaki-chan to go on a date together.

Of course, meeting with Senpai is exciting, but the main event today is none other than the divine JK, Isezaki-chan.

(Note: If you are keen to details you might notice the title of the novel in japanese also has “JK”. In Japan, “JK” typically refers to “joshi kousei(女子高生),” which translates to “high school girl” in English) 

Isezaki-chan is cuter than the local models or celebrities, exuding this aura, and for some reason, she’s close friends with Senpai too. By the way, I asked just to be sure before, but it seems like Senpai and her aren’t dating.

So when I thought I’d like to get closer to such a cute girl, it turns out Isezaki-chan and I are relatives! This is like a heaven-sent potion, isn’t it!?

After earnestly appealing from my side, we finally arranged to hang out together, so I’m really looking forward to today.

And so, I arrived at the meeting spot, the station square.

This is the nearest station to my company, and it’s not exactly where I want to be on my day off, but there are various places to hang out here, so there’s no helping it.

Looking around, it seems like the two of them haven’t arrived yet. Well, I did come a bit early compared to the appointed time.

So, while I’m killing time playing with my phone, someone called out to me.

“Oops, sorry. Were you waiting?”

But when I raised my head, there was a strange guy in flashy clothes with a smirk on his face standing in front of me. Isn’t this a pickup?

“You’ve got the wrong person. I’m waiting for someone, so could you go away?”

“Oh, what a coincidence! I’m also waiting for someone, but it seems like I got stood up, you know? Wanna hang out together? I’m really fun, and I won’t bore you. How about it?”

I don’t get it, who’s this guy? Seriously, the people who approach me are always like this. Why is that…?

Unfortunately, I’m used to dealing with this kind of pickup. The time Senpai helped me before was a rare exception among exceptions.

Since these guys can be persistent if you go along with them, the best thing to do is ignore them and go somewhere else. It can’t be helped, so I’ll put in a request to Senpai to change the meeting place—

Just as I was thinking that, I heard a familiar voice from behind the pickup guy.

“Ah, sorry. Did she do something?”

Why does it always start with the assumption that I did something wrong? Didn’t it start like this last time too?

“Huh? What’s up all of a sudden, old man? It’s got nothing to do with you.”

The pickup guy raised his voice defiantly, but Senpai, also known as the old man, didn’t seem intimidated and instead tilted his head with a furrowed brow for some reason.

“It’s not like it has nothing to do with me. I’m… What am I to her? Well, we’re not colleagues anymore, are we? It feels strange to call me Senpai after quitting the company…”

“Senpai, this guy’s obviously trying to pick up girls, so let’s just say you’re my boyfriend for now! Isn’t it the norm to say something like that? Oh, and Isezaki-chan! I wanted to see you!”

“Hello. I look forward to today.”

Isezaki-chan, who was behind Senpai, bowed politely. Seeing that, the pickup guy got all excited and turned his gleaming gaze toward her.

“Wow, seriously!? That girl over there is super cute, isn’t she!? Then I’ll call some friends, and let’s all go somewhere together! It’ll be super fun!”

“Ah, sorry, but we have something to do now. Can you give up on the pickup soon?”

“I’m telling you, old man, don’t get in the way. Can’t you read the mood?”

The pickup guy groaned tiredly and took out his phone from his pocket—

—but when he pulled it out too forcefully, the phone slipped out of his hand and flew backwards with a swoosh.

And when it was thrown into the tall tree behind him, the phone strap got caught perfectly on a branch near the top. Uh oh, that’s hilarious.

“Huh!? Why did that happen!? Hey, wait for me! I’ll get the phone back right away!”

Leaving those words behind, the pickup guy dashed toward the tree and tried to climb it. But he slipped and couldn’t climb at all.

“Let’s go while we can.”

“Oh, right! Senpai, Isezaki-chan, this way!”

So we just left the pickup guy desperately climbing the tree and quickly got away from there.

Later…

“Haha, that was seriously hilarious! I never thought something like that would happen.”

“Yeah, it was quite a coincidence.”

“Hehe, yeah.”

Senpai responded while somehow avoiding eye contact, and Isezaki-chan looked at him with an amused expression.

But seriously, this is the first time I’ve seen her up close, and she’s so cute! Her hair is beautiful! Her skin is radiant! She’s got long legs and a slim waist and a big chest! Is this some kind of divine miracle!?

Just being related to a girl like her gets me all excited! I just hope I’m not making a sloppy face like that pickup guy.

And even though such a girl is sitting next to him, Senpai has his usual laid-back expression. Well, he’s my beloved Senpai, after all? If he were to act lovey-dovey, it’s still kinda troublesome, you know?

The seating arrangement is Senpai and Isezaki-chan sitting side by side, and I’m sitting across from them across the table. Yes, we’re currently at a café.

After walking for a while after that incident, we decided to go to a café for a fresh start and introduce ourselves properly there. We were interrupted by that weird pickup guy, so it was a fresh start.

“Okay, let’s do introductions. I’ll go first. I’m Riori Aihara! I’m a working adult who used to work at the same company as Senpai! Nice to meet you!”

“I’m Seina Isezaki. I’m a second-year student at Saint Castle Academy. Nice to meet you.”

“Alright, nice to meet you! …So, Senpai?”

“Huh, do I have to introduce myself too? …Well, I’m Koutarou Matsunaga. I’m an unemployed single guy…”

Senpai let out a disappointed sigh. But wait,

“Senpai, are you still unemployed? You seemed so busy lately, I thought you’d started working seriously.”

“I’ve been doing a little bit of help for relatives, but it’s hard to say I’m working yet. …Forget about me. What are we going to do from here? Are you sure about this, Aihara?”

“Yeah yeah! I also want to explore the latest JK trends!”

“Well, even if you say trends, Isezaki-san is…”

“Ahh! I can’t hear you! It’s more fun not to know about these things! Ahh!”

I covered my ears to shut out Senpai’s spoilers.

This three-person date was my idea, and we decided to go to a spot that Isezaki-chan wanted to visit.

I really do want to know about the trends among JKs, but more than that, Isezaki-chan looks like a high-class lady, and she’s underage, so I’m not sure about dragging her around too much…? I have to consider these things properly. I don’t want to be disliked.

“Come on, let’s get going. Seina-chan!”

“Yes, Riori-san. If it’s okay with you, I’ll choose where to go.”

Seina-chan smiled brightly. Wow, she even called me by my name! It feels nice to hear it!

“Ohh. I have no idea what’s going to happen…”

While my excitement skyrocketed, Senpai was holding his head for some reason. While tilting my head at his behavior, we headed from the café to Seina-chan’s chosen spot of interest.
