At last, it ended

I accepted. It meant nothing to me, but I still accepted.

-Fine, as long as I can get to where I'm going on time.

-Okay!

-So, I have one question. What do I have to do to pretend to be your boyfriend?

-Isn't it obvious?

How the hell would be that obvious? I have never had a girlfriend, I don't even know what I am supposed to talk about with her.

I glared at her. She was smiling and looking at her phone. She was making some plans.

-How would that be obvious? I've spent my entire life studying. I've never dated or anything.

-Ew, that's hilarious.

-Shut up!!!

I know that's hilarious. I feel bad about that too, but what was I supposed to do? From a rich, famous, cute girl's perspective, it's easy to say that.

-Found it! I found a way for you to be my fake boyfriend. Let me see. It says you have to do it.

There was a sudden blush on her face, she became red. I didn't like the situation. I knew something was wrong.

-Do it? Do it? Are you serious? Let me see that!

-No.

I was trying to get her phone, but all of a sudden she opened up her camera and took a photo. The photo was hilarious.

-Come on, seriously, stop it.

-Why don't you just use that picture? Can't you just show your parents this photo and tell them that I am your boyfriend?

-Oh, I get it! It would prove that I have a boyfriend. But this picture makes it look like there was an incident, though, so let's take another one. And above all, I'm not cute in it.

This damn girl. I am not good at taking pics. And why would I want to take a picture with her ever again? The first one was by accident, I never wanted to take it in the first place.

-"I'm not cute in it"? All about you, huh?

-Hey, come closer.

-Ugh, okay.

Is this girl really a rich person's daughter, though?

CLICK

-You look just like an idiot. Show a proper smile for the picture, or I'll send that video to your school.

-I apologize.

-Hmmm, why does it look like I picked up a random person off the street to take a picture with?

-Because I'm a random person off the street.

-Oh, whatever. Hey, come with me.

-W-wait, where are we going?

-To find clothes for you.

-Huh?

-Don't ..Huh" me. Quit gripping and come with me.

________

Why is she walking so fast? Oh, here we are, at the clothing shop. I don't wanna go in there, but she is dragging me in, I have to go to school, I can't afford to waste my time here. I have to beat my rival at school.

-Hey, check this outfit out.

Suddenly I am in a skater-boy style.

-No, this doesn't look good on you.

Next thing I know, I'm wearing a classic white suit. Damn, I look good in these. She still didn't like these. Then she showed me a streetwear outfit. Nope, not my taste. I'm not going to wear this.

She made me wear it anyway. She got some streetwear for herself too.

-We totally look like a couple.

-What's up with this?

-I just remembered a girl in my class, who went for matching outfits with her boyfriend. Look! We look really close, don't we?

-Not really. It just looks like we happened to be wearing the same clothes.

-At least you don't look like a random stranger, right ?

Well, I guess she's right.

-Hello! I'd like to buy all of this.

Wait, is she crazy?

-That will be 495000 yen.

-Four hun... No, no, no, no! I only have a thousand yen in my pocket.

And then I heard:

-I'll buy it in one payment on my card.

-All of that?

-Keep the outfit. Think about it as an official uniform.

S-so, the stuff about her being the princess is true? She is really a rich person's daughter. What kind of home does she come from?

-Here we go! Look happy, like you're having a lit-ass time.

-L-lit?

I took the best face I could.

-You're messing around, aren't you?

-I'm dead serious here.

-You have to act stronger if you are going to be my boyfriend.

-Stronger?

CLICK.

-Ugh, your faces... Ok, better than the last one. We aren't going to get anything better. I'll go change.

She is only showing her parents. Do I need to look strong? Wait... rich... Displays of strength... princess... power... contracts... force... in all black... Could it be that she's...

Gulp...

-Hang on, is your family a yakud-

-No. Hotel moguls.

-Ahhh -Phew- So, you're legit safe. But, why did you wanna dress up like that?

-I figured my parents wouldn't butt in if you looked strong.

Yes, she's actually just an idiot.

-It's no use, though. All these photos look awkward.

-What? After all that?

-A good photo... A good photo I think is the one that gives you a sense of the air of the movement.

-The air?

-Yeah. The climate, the scents... Not just that... but also the air, as in the feelings of the people in the photos and taking them. That's why I try not to edit my photos too much.

-Huh...

-So I think I'll use this photo.

-But that's the first one we took by accident.

-It's the one that makes us look the closest, though. And it's kind of funny, right?

-I guess... If you're happy with it.

-Yup.

I thought Amano-san and I lived in totally different worlds. Maybe she's pretty normal.

-And sent. It's done. I sent my parents a message with our picture. Oh, dad is responding.

"Message": You're so funny, LOL. It's almost your curfew. You'd better come home!

-Well I guess there's no point in trying to deceive your parents.

- What am I supposed to do then?

-Hmmm, let me think...

Then I hear someone's voice.

-Hey, what's this about?

Eh? Who the hell are those three idiots?

-I thought you didn't have a boyfriend, Erika-tan!

-No way... Why are those guys here?

-Are they friends of yours?

-No, these guys are from the high school next to mine. I got doxxed a little while ago and now I have to deal with stalkers.

-Oh, I guess that's what it's like to be famous, huh?

-Shut it.

-Erika-tan, you're a princess at a chaste all-girls school, aren't you? That's why we followed you, you know!

-Hey, don't worry. She's perfectly chaste.

-Seriously, shut it Nagi-kun.

-Erika-tan, who is this guy?

-Huh?Me?

-Just ignore them.

-Heh, who am I huh? I am her contractual boyfriend.

-Boyfriend? Contractual? Who do you think you are, asshole?

-Wait, are they picking a fight with me right now, Erika-san?

-You just noticed?

-Get away from Erika-tan!

That one idiot tried to punch me, but I was no ordinary student, I can defend myself and others too. So, I avoided his punch, but he got mine in his face instead. It only took one punch to take him down. He fell... Weakling...

-Never come near Erika-san again!

They ran away, scared. I turned to Erika:

-Those types of people need to learn their lesson the painful way.

-Th-That's an option?

-Umino family wisdom: "If anyone picks a fight with you, win." My parents were both delinquents. That's how I was raised.

-Never mind that. I just realized I have to punch him!

-Eh?

-My fiancee. I'm going to ruin the mood. They'll stop talking about me marrying him if I completely wreck the mood.

-I guess that's better than trying to get yourself cancelled.

-Wow. I'm still excited. I've never seen a fight in person. I promise I'll give him a proper wallop like you did, Nagi-kun.

-Yeah. If that's what you're going to do, you might as well go whole hog.

-Yeah!

A black luxurious car came.

-Miss, It's time for you to come home.

-Gah, they were tracking my GPS location!!!

-Well thanks for today. I'll delete that video, I promise.

-Please do.

-Um... since I'll probably never see you again, I'll tell you... I don't have any friends because of how I am. But It kinda felt like we were on a date today. It was fun. Too bad you're not the one I'm supposed to marry, Nagi-kun.

Wait, what? Huh? How am I supposed to get that? Is she kidding me?

-Just kidding. Goodbye!

Of course, she was kidding. Why would anyone wanna marry someone who they have just met? Well, today really was fun. Wait what time is it? Shoot, it's time to go and meet my real parents. Well, off we go.
