My First Girlfriend Is A Planet Buster Volume 2


“Hayase…?!! What are you…?! How do you know where I-“

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to come unannounced. And I pretty much figured it out, I was walking through the neighborhood and saw Hachimitsu. She’s the one who pointed me in this direction.”

“O-Oh...okay….”

“So um…” She then rubbed her arm before she scratched the back of her calf with her toe, “Want to hang out?”

“H-Hang out?!”

“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with hanging out, right?”

“W-Well, I-“

“We don’t have too, I just thought it’d be nice...I’ve been wanting to talk to you since the school year ended.”

“O-Oh...well, uh…what did you have in mind?”

“Hmmm, I was thinking of the Arcade, and then maybe a movie or we could go to the park or something.”

“Um…” He paused, “Uh...sure, let’s do that.”

“Cool!”

“Hold on,” he then shut the door so he could get his shoes on. Afterward he stepped out onto the porch and closed the door behind him.

“So, how’s life been after school?”

“It’s been fine,” Yuta said as they started to walk off, “What about you?”

“It’s okay, my dad wants to plan a trip to America and quite possibly France or Greece as well.”

“That’s pretty far away,”

“Yeah, but I’ve never been outside the country before. So I’m pretty excited!”

“That’s good,”

“Is your family planning a vacation?”

“Not really, my mom is constantly working so we can keep our house and stuff.”

“Oh, I see. That must be tough.”

“It is...I want to try and get a job or something to help, but I just don’t know what I want to do.”

“What are you good at?”

“I don’t know.”

“What about basketball? You liked that in gym class right?”

“Not a whole lot.”

“I see, well, since you like anime and stuff so much why don’t you become an animator of Mangaka?”

“I don’t know...my drawing skills aren’t super great.”

“You could come work with me,” Hayase said with a smile, “During the summer I’m a lifeguard, and during the rest of the year I do fast food.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea…”

“Why?”

“It’s just not…”

“Is it because you’re in love with me?”

“Wh-What?!?!!! No!!! I’m not!!! Well...not anymore at least!!!” He then paused, “Wait!!! How did you know?!?!!!”

“It was kind of obvious,” she said with a soft smile, “Why didn’t you ask me out?” She asked, moving a bit closer to him, “Yuta...if you asked me out, I would’ve said yes.” Her cheeks turned a light pink as she wrapped her arms around his, “I loved you too you know...I still love you now.” Yuta blushed heavily and he turned to her as she grabbed onto his hands and planted her lips on his. Yuta’s entire body started to turn red hot as his eyes widened. He then placed his hands on her shoulders and moved her away from him,

“H-Hayase….! I-I can’t….! I-I promised H-Hachimitsu I wouldn’t cheat on her…! Besides you have a boyfriend…!”

“I know…” She said, “Even if it is cheating…why does it feel right…?”

“I-It d-doesn’t….!! I-I can’t-“

“You can’t what…?”

“I…” Yuta grit his teeth before he then quickly turned away from her, “H-Hayase…! Th-This isn’t fair…!!! If you liked me why didn’t you tell me..?!?!!!”

“I was nervous…”

“You know how I felt but you still didn’t-“ He then stopped when Hayase grabbed onto his hand from behind,

“I’m sorry….I was a jerk for not telling you...I’m also a jerk for making you think I wasn’t interested, when clearly I was.” She then looked down, “Yuta...I’m really sorry. You can hate me all you want...but I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Hayase….as long as I’m with Hachimitsu, we can never be together. The only one I want in my life is her.” He then turned to her and lifted her chin looking her in the eyes, “But...that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends.”

“Friends….?” Hayase said before Yuta gave her a nod. She then gave him a soft smile, “Y-Yeah…! I’d like to be friends!”

“Okay.” Yuta said with a firm nod. Hayase then paused before she then quickly wrapped her arms around him.

“Excuse me,” a woman’s voice came, “I couldn’t help but overhear you,” Hayase and Yuta turned to the woman. She had beautiful ebony skin, violet eyes, loose and shaggy black hair and seemed to be wearing strange armor. “Did you say Hachimitsu just now?” She asked with a smile,

“Yeah, that’s my girlfriend.” Yuta said,

“Your girlfriend?! Oh, that’s even better.” She said with a smile.

“Do you know her?”

“You could say that,” she said placing her hands on her hips, “My name is Nana, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Across the city at the daycare Hachimitsu sat on the ground playing with some toys with some of the children, “You almost got it!” Hachimitsu said with a smile,

“Like this?” A child asked as he put a star shaped toy through a star shaped hole in a block of wood.

“Yes! Very good!” Hachimitsu said with a smile,

“Wow! That’s cool! I’m going to go show my friends!” The child picked up the block and ran off to go show his friends. Hachimitsu gave a soft giggle before another child got her attention,

“U-Uh, Miss Hachimitsu…?” She asked,

“Yes Rika? What’s up?” She asked turning to the child,

“I got a owie…” She said as she pointed to her knee with a small scrape on it,

“Oh no! Let’s go fix this up!” Hachimitsu then leaned forward and picked up the child and took her over to a chair and sat her down. She then went to a closet and grabbed a first aid kit before she then sat down on the floor in front of the child. Hachimitsu then opened the kid and grabbed a small alcohol wipe, “Where did you get this?”

“I was running around outside and I fell…” she said as tears ran down her face,

“You fell?!” Hachimitsu said, “I’m sorry! If you want I’ll go fight the ground for you!” She opened up the wipe and tossed the wrapper aside, “This is going to sting a little bit,” Hachimitsu said before she gently started to wipe the scrape. Once it was clean she turned back to the kit and pulled out some bandaids, “Which one do you want? There’s one with ducks, pandas, and cats.”

“I want the one with the kitty…!”

“Okay!” Hachimitsu put the other bandaids away as she opened the bandaid with the cats on it, she put it on the child’s knee before she then gently gave it a kiss, “There you go! All better!!!”

“Thank you…!”

“You can go back to playing now, just try to be careful when you run around.”

“Okay…!” The little girl got down from the chair and ran off. Hachimitsu smiled watching the girl run off. As she closed the kit she felt her phone buzz.

“Yuta…?” she said softly as she started to pull her phone out, “I told you I’d message you after-“ She then stopped dead in the middle of her sentence. She then shoved her phone in her pocket before she stood up and went to the back of the room where her bosses office was. “U-Um...e-excuse me…” Hachimitsu said softly as she poked her head in the door, “Mr. Omakase…?” He looked up to her from his desk and smiled,

“Ah! Miss Hachimitsu! To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Um...I’m sorry to do this but um….I need to leave early, it’s an emergency…”

“An emergency? What’s going on?”

“O-Oh….w-well….someone very close to me is in danger….can I please leave….? I promise I’ll work extra hard or even put in extra hours…!!!”

“Of course you can leave, don’t worry about extra hours. Go be there for them.”

“Th-Thank you!!! You won’t regret it!!!” Hachimitsu said with a smile before she turned and left the building.
