My Girlfriend Who Is Older Than Me Teases Me When I’m Working At A Bar, But Maybe Because Of Alcohol, Her Face Turns Bright Red Very Quickly.

I don’t have anyone I like…(?)

A white painted school building that resembled a high-rise hotel.
The entire building was covered with glass windows, and the schoolyard, with its vast area and blooming flowers, was impressive.
The distance from the main gate to the school building was about 100 meters, and the magnificent gate exuded an overwhelming atmosphere that was unbeatable.

There was not a single piece of garbage on the campus, and a large decorative fountain serves as a symbol of the school, which boasts the highest admission ratio and popularity in its specialized field nationwide.
The four-year Reijo Nursing University has a deviation value of 69, and its popularity has exploded due to its cleanliness and the fact that tution was relatively low thanks to a donation from a certain plutocrat.

The current time was 8:15 in the morning.
Sasaki Mio, a third-year student at Reijo Nursing University, had just finished some business and was returning to her classroom.
However, when she tried to sit down at her seat, she was interrupted by someone.

“What… Nanami.
Why are you grinning like that…?”

“I just thought, ‘As expected of Mio-chan.’ You’ve had 38 consecutive victories since entering this nursing university… Your opponent was called the Prince of South University, and he was so cool, why did you turn him down? It’s such a waste, really.”

Sighing, Sasaki Mio narrowed her round black eyes.
She has a youthful appearance with silky black hair, and despite being noisy, she is also a reliable person.
Nanami is Mio’s friend since she entered this nursing university and is someone who can be called a close friend.
Their seats were next to each other.

“I don’t care about peeking into the confession, Nanami.
But, where were you watching me from?”

“I was called to the main gate, so I went to peek.”

“Come on, make an effort not to peek… It’s not something to be proud of.”

“Hahaha, sorry, sorry.
I’ll be more careful next time!”

“I can’t see any trace of regret in you…”

Mio stared at Nanami, who was holding her fists to her head, with a sharp look in her eyes.
As Mio said, Nanami probably didn’t regret it.
After all, Mio has warned her dozens of times.

“But, you know, I’ve been thinking about it for a while now… It would be better if you confessed to me, right?”

“W-what do you mean by that…?”

“I’m not sure if I should say this to you, Mio-chan, but… why don’t you date someone? The guy you turned down earlier doesn’t seem like a bad match for you, and if you have a boyfriend, you’ll be less likely to be confessed to, don’t you think?”

“Well… I don’t want to date someone I don’t like.
I want to date someone I like.”

“I understand that feeling, but from my standpoint, it would be better to start dating someone you have a crush on rather than being stuck in a one-sided crush situation, don’t you think?”

Values are different for each person.
Some people want to start dating only after becoming mutual, while others may date based on the idea that they may start liking the other person after getting to know them.

Mio supports the former while Nanami supports the latter.
The proportion of “real couples” in Mio’s class is very high, around 60%.
This may be due to the fact that many of them attend the Reijo Nursing University, which is known for producing such couples.

Nanami, who is Mio’s best friend, also has a boyfriend.

“Why do you always try to set me up with someone, Nanami?”

“Well, Mio-chan, it’s not like you’re not interested in love, right? You seem very interested when I talk about my boyfriend.”

“That’s because you always say ‘tell me, tell me’.”

“But still, you always ask ‘what happened next?!’ and urge me on with your arms!”

“I-I’ve never done that before! I admit that I might have urged you on, but…”

Blushing, Mio lowered her beautiful cat-like eyes and twiddled her index fingers together.

“In other words, you do want a boyfriend, right?”
