When I asked her why the girl sitting next to me was so venomous, she said, "Because I want to marry you in the future," and school life became a lot more fun. - Chapter 5

Is my girlfriend a pervert?
All morning I was witnessing a slightly bizarre scene.
“Mmm-hmm.”
Tojo-chan was laughing in the seat next to me.
That’s all very well, but…
“Kasuga-kun bought this for me.”
She was looking at an eraser.
It happened to be the eraser that I bought for her on our date after school yesterday.
“Good morning, Sakurako-chan. Hmm? What’s wrong? Why are you looking at the eraser like that?”
“Oh, no, it’s nothing.”
“I see… Well, I’ll see you later.”
“Okay, See ya.”
After waving the girls off, Tojo-chan carefully put the eraser back on her desk and continued to look at it longingly.
Somehow, I feel like I’m being stared at, too, and it’s making me a little queasy.
“…Um, Tojo-chan.”
“What is it? It’s bad manners to talk to someone who is appreciating art.”
“Gee, art? It is just an… eraser, right?”
“No! It’s not just an eraser, it’s a special eraser my beloved gave me.”
“But… it’s just a regular eraser…”
“Oh, my God. Are you saying that you gave me a gift with such light-hearted intentions?”
“Um, yes? I bought it for you but I didn’t really think that deeply about it.”
“So it was light-hearted…?”
Did I just step on a landmine?
“Ugh, I’m sure you’re the type of person who’d have an affair with someone else because you ‘didn’t think that deeply about it’.”
“ What?! No. Why would I do that?”
“You’re right. It’s better to have a lighthearted fling than a messy one with me.”
“No one’s saying that.”
“Shut up. Don’t talk to me anymore.”
But… I wasn’t saying any of that.
“Um, okay…?”
I am terribly confused.
……….
Since I had a fight with Tojo-chan, I thought today would be the first time in a long time that I would have meal alone but…
“…………”
She was sitting next to me eating her lunch as usual.
I’m still looking as mushy as ever.
“…Hey, Tojo-chan.”
“I told you not to talk to me, didn’t I? I wonder if your brain is the size of a peanut, Kasuga-kun?”
“No, I know that, but… Then why are you even bothering to stay with me?”
“It’s only natural for a girl to be with her boyfriend, isn’t it?”
I was at a loss for words.
Tojo turned away again with a pout.
“…Hey, Tojo-chan.”
I called out to her again, but she ignored me and proceeded with her chopsticks.
“If we’re going to be together anyway, can we at least do something that isn’t talking?”
In an instant, her chopsticks stopped.
“…What, exactly, do you have in mind?”
“Huh? Oh, um, I don’t know… Do you want to hold hands?”
“My hands are full of chopsticks and lunch boxes right now.”
“Can you put it down for a moment?”
I said and Tojo-chan, surprisingly, listened to me.
“If you’re going to hold it, do it quickly.”
“Okay.”
When I gently touched her hand, Tojo-chan twitched.
“…Tojo-chan’s hands are cold.”
“…Mind your own business.”
“…Are you nervous, by any chance?”
“…Who are you to judge?”
“…You know, you’ll lose a lot of money being stubborn like that.”
“…I’m just… nervous… I’m so nervous.”
“…You’re still cute.”
I said and Tojo-chan rolled her eyes and stared at me.
“What’s wrong?”
“…I want to stab you to death.”
“Uh… I just don’t get you sometimes.”
“It’s because I love you so much it hurts…Just kill me…”
“Then I’ll always hold your hand just so I can make sure you won’t do such a bad thing.”
I said and Tojo-chan’s eyes widened even more.
“…Oh my god. Why did you have to sound so cool?”
“What, no. It’s just self-defense.”
“I have a nosebleed and I think I’m going to die.”
“Huh?! Just calm down, okay…”
From then until the end of the lunch break, Tojo-chan stayed close to me.
