SS 12: The Result When the Usually Not-So-Honest Boyfriend Got Drunk

Translated by: chocolalaEdited by: Seiryuu

“By the way, Yamato-kun, I brought some snacks today.”

In the literature club room as usual. In the middle of playing an RPG, Yuzu said to me when we were taking a break.

“Ta-da! Brandy bonbon!” Yuzu proudly brought out a box of sweets from her bag.

“Whoa, that looks quite expensive. Did something happen?”

I asked that to Yuzu when I saw the high class packaging and she neatly opened it as she answered,

“My parents received this at their workplace, but they don’t eat it, so they gave it to me. Let’s eat it together.”

“Okay!”

When the box opened, bottle-shaped chocolates appeared.

“Then, I’ll eat this.” I ate the small-sized chocolate in one bite.

The sweet smell of the chocolate first wafted about in my mouth, then when I chewed it, a strong smell of liquor filled my mouth and the taste changed to bitter at once.

“Oh, this is delicious. Really deserves its high price tag.” Yuzu also ate it in one bite and broke into a wide smile.

“That’s right. This is not something I can afford to buy.” As I agreed, Yuzu puffed out her chest boastfully.

“Isn’t it? You should be grateful to me, Yamato-kun.”

“Yeah. Thanks, Yuzu. Yuzu, you really are cute and considerate, truly the best girlfriend ever.”

“Hm, mmn? Hurm, you don’t need to praise me that much.” Yuzu made a somewhat troubled expression when I honestly complimented her.

“No-no, not only this time, this is what I usually feel. Yuzu is not only cute, you also properly observe others and are cooperative. I’ve always thought that you really are a girlfriend I’m proud of.”

“Wh-what’s wrong!? Yamato-kun! You’re spouting nauseating flattery non-stop so suddenly!?”

Yuzu was obviously shaken. That side of hers was exceedingly cute too.

There, she looked at the brandy bonbon and seemed to have figured something out, “Do-don’t tell me… you’re drunk?! Just by one of these?!”

“Come on… How can I get drunk with only that much? Yuzu, you sure know how to joke. But even that side of you is cute. No, when you’re this cute, no matter what you do, everything will look charming, you’re so sly.”

“You’re completely wasted! Yamato-kun, so you become like this when drunk?!”

Yuzu’s eyes darted about as she was at a loss for what she should do. Just what was wrong with her? Well, she’s cute, whatever. Anyway, she had brought the chocolates all the way here, I should thank her.

Yuzu always wanted to have stories about us she could use when chatting with her friends, so for now, I should just grab this chance to add another anecdote.

“Yuzu, you’ve brought these chocolates here, it’ll be a waste if you don’t eat them. I’ll let you eat them. Here, open your mouth~”

I unwrapped one of the chocolates and carried it to Yuzu’s mouth.

“Ya-Yamato-kun is being so proactive like never before…! Wh-what to do?”

Yuzu froze like she was utterly surprised. Despite being a narcissist, her guard was so weak like this; it left me with no choice but to be on the aggressive side.

“Open your mouth, Yuzu.”

I wrapped my arm around Yuzu’s waist to prevent her from escaping and pushed the chocolate into her mouth.

“Nom…!?” She grunted from my sneak move, yet she still ate the chocolate I fed her.

“Is it delicious?”

While still holding her, I looked at her up close. She nodded a few times while she blushed. Her face had turned bright red, she was way too cute.

“Yuzu, you’re red up to your ears. So cute~” As if enticed by it, I touched Yuzu’s earlobe that had flushed red.

“Eh, ah, aw, aw…” Yuzu jolted her shoulders, but she was frozen stiff.

In the meanwhile, I kept pressing on her squishy earlobe.

“Ya-yamato-kun…!”

“You’re shy?”

“Of-of course…” Yuzu answered with a faint voice when I asked.

So cute.

""

“I see, but I won’t stop. The shy Yuzu is so cute.”

“Wu-wuuu… This is outside of the calculations…! I would die in embarrassment…! I need to do something…!” Yuzu muttered something very fast as she started to think.

So cute.

“Oh yes, Yamato-kun. I’m a bit thirsty. There’s a bottle of tea in my bag, can you take it out for me?”

“Of course. Please wait a moment.”

When the chocolate was taken out, the bag was left open; I took out green tea in a PET bottle from there and passed it to her after I unlidded it.

“Here you are.”

“Thanks…Alright!”

When Yuzu received the bottle, she looked over here with a sort of determination in her eyes.

“Yamato-kun, sorry!”

Then, she thrusted the mouth of the PET bottle into my mouth.

“Nghuk?!”

I couldn’t respond to her sudden rough action and reflexively swallowed the green tea that was flowing inside my mouth.

“Please! If you cherish me, please drink it all!”

There was no way I could refuse once she asked me like that. So I just continued to gulp down the content.. And the fog that was hanging low in my head gradually cleared up.

“Wuu… Just what did I do until now…?” I became fully sober after downing the whole bottle of the tea.

“Ya-Yamato-kun…! I’m glad you’re back!” Yuzu heaved a very deep sigh of relief like it came from the bottom of his heart.

In that instant, our eyes met. But like opposing magnets, we reflexively looked the other way.

“Urm, you’re sober?”

“…Yeah.”

“You have those memories?”

“…Perfectly intact.”

I could only answer Yuzu’s question while feeling like I wanted to just die. Yuzu sensed my awkwardness and she gazed in my direction and tried to console me.

“Urm… I don’t hate it, you know? It’s just that I also haven’t fully prepared mentally.”

“No, it’s okay! No need for such a follow-up! It’ll only make it even worse! Whoaaaaaa! I wanna die! What’s that! Who’s that! Just who controlled my body until just now?!”

“It-it’s okay! It’s ten times more adorable than the usual Yamato-kun! Maybe, personality-wise, that one is better!”

“Is the usual me inferior to that guy! I didn’t wanna know that! Ah, now I just want nothing more than to disappear!”

In that moment, my eyes caught sight of the root cause of all that–the brandy bonbon. In reflex, I took that in my hand and unwrapped it.

“Yamato-kun?! What are you doing wanting to eat that again!”

“So noisy! How can I stay sober anymore! I can’t think of any other way to get rid of this feeling of shame! Don’t stop me!”

“Of course I would! If you fawn on me like that, my life is in danger! Even at normal times, I was already at the brink of death from shyness!”

“It’s okay. Yuzu, you have a strong mental fortitude, you’ll quickly get used to it! Aah, even that part of you is cute, Yuzu.”

“I didn’t make it in time! Uwaaaaah! Here we go again!”

An hour later, I was dying to just disappear.
