"Ms. Tsundere" Creates An Agreement

I, Kazuhiko Kazushi, collapsed on the school rooftop after being forced to go out with the highest person in our class, also known as “Ms. Tsundere,” Furumi Furimizawa-san. I have now confirmed that Furimizawa-san is 100% a tsundere.

After I collapsed, I woke up to see a white light above me. Ahh… Did I die? I thought. However, someone broke that thought.

“Oh, you’re already awake. How are you feeling?” Furumi’s voice called out.

I looked to see who it was and saw Furimizawa-san in front of me. I realized I was lying on a bed in the school infirmary.

“I guess that’s still far from happening…” I muttered.

“What are you talking about? Here, eat this,” Furumi said, handing me an apple.

“Thank you, Furimizawa-sa—” Before I could finish my appreciation, she interrupted.

“You didn’t forget that thing and just get an amnesia again, right?” she asked.

*sighs* So… That wasn’t a dream, huh? I guess there’s no going back now after all this happened. But… Again?

“You know, you looked pathetic when you collapsed on the ground back there. You did make me worry a bit,” she said, blushing slightly.

But then she added, “Don’t misunderstand, okay? I was a bit worried about you because you still have a responsibility to bear! Hmph!”

I’d like to ask what she means by again… But I just shrugged it off.

And with this, I could confirm even more that she is a tsundere. Well, I don’t have a problem going out with a tsundere since I like them, hehe…

While I was thinking that, Furimizawa-san looked at me with disgust, and I realized my feelings were leaking out and visible on my face.

In the meantime, I asked her about how we would go out.

“Umm… Furimizawa-san, how will we go out then?” I asked.

She took a deep breath and started to speak. “Okay, I’ll tell you how we’ll do it. First, don’t worry since you’ll only go out with me until I find someone I love, okay?”

I replied “Yes.” But… this is just a fake relationship, huh? That’s what I thought. I mean, there’s no way a girl like her, the highest person in our class, would go out with me romantically… I should have expected something like that.

After that, Furimizawa-san continued to explain more about how we would go out.

“If you understand, then let’s go with the second rule. Just because we’re going out together doesn’t mean everyone should know about it. In short, this relationship is our secret,” Furumi said.

What? A secret? Then what is this for? I didn’t know, but I asked anyway.

“Umm… Furimizawa-san? May I ask something?” I said.

“Yes. Go ahead,” she replied.

“What is the purpose of us going out if it’s a secret? Shouldn’t we just become friends and let me help you with something?” I asked.

“Why, you ask? For your information, if everyone knows I’m going out with someone like you, a loner, they’ll distance themselves from me, you know?!” she said.

I guess she had a point.

“And by the way, you’re going to go out with me for practice, so that if I go out with someone for real in the future, I would already have the experience,” she added.

Oh, I guess I kind of get it now. Well, I can’t escape this now… I need to finish this responsibility fast so that I can go back to having my peace. My peace is important to me, after all.

And so, I replied to her, “Sorry, I just wanted to make it clear.”

“That’s good, as long as you don’t misunderstand anything,” she said.

With that, she continued with our main topic.

“And so, back to our main topic. The third rule is that you will give me love advice. You are an anime otaku, aren’t you? So, I’m sure you watch rom-coms and can use material from them to give me advice, right?” she asked.

I replied with a “Yes.” But… I don’t know if I can use rom-coms as material for giving her love advice. I mean, real life and anime are different. Even I, an anime otaku, can differentiate reality from fantasies, okay? Even so, it’s not like I could say something like that to her, so I just agreed.

Furimizawa-san continued, “Fourth, you will stop calling me Furimizawa-san and start calling me ‘Furumi’ instead, okay? Because if you call me Furimizawa-san, it would only look like we’re not dating at all. However, only call me ‘Furumi’ when we’re alone, understood?!”

This is kinda hard but… be strong, me.

“Yes, Furumi,” I said, blushing slightly as it was pretty embarrassing for me to do something like that.

And with that, Furimizawa—or rather, Furumi—went on with her explanation.

“And last but not least, give me your Line ID. We need to contact each other as well. But don’t misunderstand! This is only because you’re going to go out with me and help me!” she said.

“Yes, Furumi,” I replied.

She is a tsundere… But well, let’s go and finish this responsibility I have. I gave her my Line ID, and now we’re in each other’s contacts. As we exchanged our Line IDs, she stood up from the chair in front of me and confirmed our agreement.

“If you understand now, it’s settled. It is our agreement, so don’t dare break it, okay?” Furumi said.

I was going to reply with a “Yes,” but this time, something weird came to mind.

“Before I agree, I have a question,” I said.

“What is it, Kazuhiko?” Furumi asked.

Wow, that was quite bold of her to call me by my first name. It’s unfair she didn’t blush. Anyway, let’s ask it out.

“What will happen if one of us falls in love with the other?” I asked.

That was the weird question I asked, and as you can imagine, an awkward atmosphere surrounded us.

“Huh?! What are you talking about?! There’s no way I would like you, you idiot! And I’m sure you will not like me too, right?! Right?!!” she exclaimed.

“No need to repeat that question and be shocked, Furumi. It will be ‘I won’t,’ of course,” I replied.

“I’m not shocked though?! If you say it like that, then it’s all good if you don’t fall in love with me. But if one of us falls in love with the other…” Furumi took a deep breath and continued, “…Let’s stop seeing each other. That will be the best way. However, don’t assume that I would fall in love with you! Bye!”

After that, Furumi ran away.

*sighs* She is a tsundere, though she is not in love with me. With all that in my mind, another thought came to me. But… will we be able to not fall in love with each other in the future?

For now, neither of us has feelings for the other, but… what about the future? I thought about those kinds of things, but… I’m sure I’m not going to fall in love with a person like her. Even though she’s a tsundere, she’s rude, as expected of the highest person in our class.

And with that, our agreement was settled, and I was done for the day. Also, with that… our daily lives and future would soon start changing.
