NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 16
● Chapter 16
● Pov: Yuuki
Today is Sunday, the day I arranged to go out with Emi-san.
Since I don't like leaving the house, I have few clothes to go out, so I wear the one that makes me most comfortable.
That would be mine, a black long-sleeved shirt and black jeans.
I look in the mirror and see if my clothes are okay, after all, even though I don't have good clothes to go out, I don't want to make Emi-san uncomfortable with the way I dress.
After that, I leave the house and head towards the station to catch a train that goes to the city center.
I wait for Emi-san at the agreed place, which would be in front of a square.
I was a little anxious about this outing, of course we go out together sometimes but I still haven't gotten used to it.
While I was distracted in thought, I felt someone touching my shoulder.
When I turned to the direction I was touched, I saw Emi-san standing next to me.
(I didn't even notice when she arrived!!)
I was surprised that she had suddenly appeared next to me.
Emi-san was wearing a pink dress with some white stripes and a beige bag, which made her look very beautiful.
While I was admiring Emi-san, she spoke to me.
"Hello Takahiro-kun, did you wait long?"
"I-I didn't just get here."
"That's good, then let's go."
She took my hand and started walking.
"W-wait, where are we going?"
"Before we go to the family restaurant, we're going to watch a movie first."
"O-Okay."
While trying not to think about our hands touching, I followed Emi-san to the cinema.
________________________________
After we finished watching the movie Emi-san chose, we headed towards the family restaurant.
I was surprised by the movie Emi-san had chosen, an action comedy. She has very different tastes than her appearance suggests.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we saw that it was quite crowded inside.
It was no surprise, after all, it is a restaurant that recently opened and is being well-received by the public.
When we entered the restaurant, we managed to find an empty table, which I thought was very lucky given the popularity of this restaurant.
We sat across from each other, then a girl dressed as a waitress brought us the menu.
While the waitress handed out the menus, I stared at her uniform.
(I think a maid's outfit would be better for the waiters.)
With these thoughts in mind, I felt someone staring at me, and when I turned my face I discovered that it was Emi-san.
When the waitress left, I asked Emi-san.
"What is it Emi-san?"
".... it's nothing Takahiro-kun."
“Okay…”
I was a little confused by that but decided not to insist on the subject.
After 15 minutes the food arrived at our table. I ordered a “Donburi” and Emi-san ordered a “Tonkatsu”.
It looked very good, we thanked them and started eating.
After we finished eating, which, by the way, was very tasty, I went to the counter and paid the bill.
They were going to pay alone but Emi-san insisted on sharing.
When I returned to the table I saw Emi-san putting something in her bag, it must have been makeup so I didn’t want to ask.
So Emi-san and I left the restaurant and went to some clothing and accessories stores.
While we were deciding which store to go to, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom.
I excused myself from Emi-san and left to go to a nearby bathroom.
After doing my business and washing my hands I went towards Emi-san.
As I approached the place where I had left her waiting for me, I saw two guys talking to Emi-san. From the look on her face, she didn't like it.
"This kind of thing... is happening to me, seriously?"
I walked towards Emi-san and the two guys.
