Chapter 57: Beauty Salons and Transformation.
The hair salon that Ken-chan brought me to had a stylish exterior that, like Ken-chan’s store, made it hard to tell that it was a hair salon at first glance.
Again, I was a little intimidated by the overwhelming stylishness that I had never experienced before in my life.
But Ken-chan followed up with a light laugh and said, “It’s like that for everyone at first.”
When I entered the salon, a handsome man, as stylish as Ken-chan, was sitting on a chair waiting for me to arrive.
“Ken, is that the boy you were talking about?”
“Yes, make sure he’ s dressed up.”
”What, is he one of those types of people……,” I thought, as the handsome man observed me closely.
“I see, he certainly looks like he’ll shine if he polishes up.”
“Right? Please make him look cool.”
Ken-chan and his handsome friend grinned at each other as they said this.
Why …… am I a little scared ……?
“I didn’t introduce myself yet, my name is Hiroshi, so you can call me Hiro-chan.”
And then Hiro-chan turned his handsome smile on me.
Like Ken-chan, it was hard to get used to the tone of voice of these two guys who are usually good-looking when they’re not talking.
But there are people with all kinds of values in this world, and since I am going to be taking care of now, I should get used to it quickly.
“Well then, he’ll take care of the rest! Good luck, Takkun!”
Ken-chan winked at me and went back to the store.
After that, Hiro-chan explained everything to me while he cut my hair, and to be honest, his scissors skils were amazing.
To tell the truth, Hiro-chan’s scissors work was amazing.
Hiro-chan is also a famous person in the area, and he’s actually a great guy who works exclusively with celebrities.
He’ s also in charge of cutting the members of the Angel Girls, and while he was cutting my hair, we talked about Shi-chan.
Hiro-chan said that Shi-chan was the most beautiful idol in the world when she was working, but when she was off the job, she was a little off, and that made her cute.
Needless to say, we hit it off at once, and I understood that feeling very well.
After the haircut was finished and my hair was set with hair wax, I saw myself in the mirror and my impression had changed to the level of a different person.
In other words, I was a good-looking guy. I saw myself reflected in the mirror.
I don’t really like this kind of expression, but it still made me feel good about myself.
“And? Perfect, right?”
“Y-yes. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to change so much. …… I’m very surprised. ……”
“As a hairdresser, it’s a great pleasure to hear you say that.”
When I honestly told him how I felt, he smiled happily.
It was a day that made me realize that fashion coordinators and hair stylists who have mastered their craft are truly amazing.
Then I went back to Ken-chan’s store to show him my changed self. He said “Ara! You’ve cleared up a lot! If I had been ten years younger, I might have fallen in love with you!” He joked with me and praised me for my change.
So I took the train back to my hometown with a happy feeling.
On the train, I looked at my phone for the first time in a while, and saw our group Lime buzzing with memories of yesterday.
I decided to join Lime, thinking that it would be a lie not to have something to talk about since Akarin and YUI showed up after playing at the pool …….
“Sorry, I was out for a bit and didn’t notice! Thanks for yesterday!”
Okay, I’ll send it.
Anyway, I wondered if people would be surprised to see me in the clothes I bought at Ken-chan’s and the cut I got at Hiro-chan’s. I felt a bit of mischief and a desire for approval.
I was thinking that I wasn’t supposed to be like this, and as I was operating my phone to listen to music, I heard Lime’s reply: “Hey!”
“‘Good evening! Where have you been?”
I wondered why she replied so quickly, but it was from Shi-chan.
And for some reason, it wasn’t from the group Lime, but from an individual.
“Oh, I went shopping for a bit!”
I was about tell her about Ken-chan’s place but I had a second thought.
Since I had changed so much, I thought I would keep it a secret and surprise her.
“I see. you didn’t read my messages, so I was wondering what you were doing.”
O-Oh, I’m sorry about that.
But it was just a normal, casual conversation, and it didn’t matter if I wasn’t around. …… It’s like you’re wondering what I’ve been doing all day…….
“Sorry, I was out of town and didn’t notice.”
“Did you go on a shopping trip?”
Ah, crapt. I thought I had said something completely unnecessary, but it was too late.
“Yeah, just a little!”
“I see, Takkun, you’re going home now, right?”
“Hmm? Of course.”
“You’re taking the train, right? What time will it be?”
“Yes. Uh, a little after 6:00 p.m., I think.”
“I understand”
Hmm? What?
Anyway, I was a little overwhelmed by Shi-chan’s quick reply.
Now that Lime has stopped, and I still have about 50 minutes until I get to the station, I decide to listen to some music while I ride the train.
I finally arrived at the local station and got off the train.
For some reason, I saw Shi-chan in front of the ticket gate.
She was kind of scurrying around as if she was looking for someone.
Since she was outside, she was naturally wearing sunglasses as a disguise, but her hair was a little bouncy today, and she looked a little different.
I wondered if she was in a hurry to get out.
At any rate, since it would be bad to just pass by and I was worried about Lime, I decided to talk to her.
“Shi-chan, what’s wrong?”
When I called out to her as usual, she turned to look at me and for some reason froze.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Y-you’re Takkun ……, right?”
Oh, I see.
Thanks to Hiro-chan, I now had a positive style.
“Oh, yeah. What do you think? Isn’t it weird?”
“It’s cool. !!!!”
What do you think,? When I asked her how she liked it, Shi-chan raved about it with gusto.
I was so happy to see Shi-chan raving in front of me, sniffling, and I could tell that she was not lying.
“What’s wrong, Takkun? What are you doing?”
“Oh, I really wanted to keep it a secret, but I guess I’m done. Today, I went to Ken-chan’s to buy some clothes. Then he introduced me to a hairdresser named Hiro, and I got my hair cut as well.”
“Hiro-chan? I see. So it was Hiro-chan. Good.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s nothing! I see, so that’s what happened.”
I wondered what was good about it, but for now, Shi-chan seemed to be in a good mood and smiling, so I called it good.
It was a shame to go home straight after meeting Shi-chan like this, so I decided to be brave and ask her out.
“You know what? If you have time, why don’t we go out to eat together?”
“Fue~?”
When I took the plunge and invited her out to dinner, Shi-chan looked very surprised and made a strange noise.
“Oh, no, it was sudden. If you can’t make it, we can do it another time.”
“I’m coming! Please let me go! Oh, but I came out in a hurry, so my hair is …… woo~……”
She raised her hand and said she was going, but then she seemed to be worried about her bouncy hair, so she held her hair and sagged down in disappointment.
I couldn’t help but smile at her because she was so cute and emotional.
–Really, you’re always so cute, Shi-chan!
This is how I won my dinner date with Shi-chan on short notice.

June 7, 2021 at 4:23 amBeing confessed by a line of girls might not happen though as they were surely gonna start dating during this summer event!! But summer had just started and he might get entangled with Shion’s Idol friends though.

Now he’s hooked Hiro-chan…
(No seriously, I am loving how delightfully NORMAL this story has been. It’s refreshing. )

August 21, 2022 at 3:20 amThis is not related to the chapter, but I just suddenly realized how perfect it would be if he confessed suddenly out of the blue while Shi-chan is in disguise in the convenience store, as she’s paying at the cash register.
