I’m looking forward to it ──ah, that reminds me, Mana is calling for you downstairs.” As Mio finished talking, she smiled happily before leaving Shinji’s room. “Ah, that……n-next Sunday, how does that sound?” “I understand. Yet, somehow he was still able to murmur out some words from his throat. TL PDF by MBAH Date A Live LN’s Translation “H-how long have you been standing there……?” “Just now──that said, Shin, when are we going?” “Eh……!? W-what are you sa……?” “So, when will this date be?” “……!” Having just heard that, Shinji tightened his breath. That’s right she was Shinji’s first love, the girl called Takamiya Mio. “! Mio……” “Un, what’s the matter, Shin.” While asking, she slightly tilted her head with curious eyes. Then, before him stood an unbelievably beautiful girl that seemed to have been standing there unnoticed for quite some time. ![]() But──this was a clear and familiar voice. For a moment, due to being too immersed in his training, Shinji thought that he created an imaginary girl in his mind. Just as Shinji was finishing that sentence, he heard a voice come from behind him. “Mio, let’s go on a date.” “──Un.” At that moment. Spurred forward by this progress, Shinji continued to speak with a straightforward expression. “Mio, can you go on a date with me?” Perhaps, due to the training, Shinji was gradually getting accustomed to asking. Shinji cleared his throat with a slight cough before continuing. Next time, could you go with me on a……d-date?” TL PDF by MBAH Date A Live LN’s Translationįor some reason unbeknownst to even himself, he had spoken out while using keigo. Shinji adjusted his breathing while staring at his own eyes through the mirror. Although when compared to past examples, Shinji hoped that Mio would think that this was “a date with Shinji.” Despite it being embarrassing, he could not avoid omitting the word “date” again. ……No, even if someone asked, Shinji also did not exactly know the difference between a date and two people heading out together. Apart from that, it wasn’t as if Shinji and Mio had not already headed out together before. This wasn’t any different from the usual invitation to go out shopping. Would you like to go out for a bit?” While spoken with more clarity than before, Shinji soon found that something was amiss. “……Just need try a bit harder.” As he tried to encourage himself, he adjusted the angle of his position projected by the mirror. “Ah──but this must be, love.” Takamiya Shinji, at this very late age, was experiencing his first love. But thinking back, that sort of feeling could not be called love. There were even times where he felt a particular longing for a beautiful sempai or had his heart race unguarded by his fellow female classmates. As a healthy high school student, there were at least one or two girls that have caught his attention up until now. If it was for her sake, Shinji felt that he had the strength to do anything. Just calling out her name left him feeling breathless afterwards. Just thinking of her face caused his heart rate to soar to new heights. However, the feeling motivating him right now was not the effect of some momentary infatuation. Indeed, Shinji had never invited a girl to a date before. “…………” No──Shinji tightly bit against his lips. ──Simply put, he lacked a natural immunity for such affairs. However, perhaps due to his natural reserved personality, he had never had any major interactions with girls before, let alone conveys his feelings to one. ![]() Shinji, who was 17 years old, had just turned into a second year high school student. Despite having said that, there was still no other alternative. If he was already this nervous practicing in front of a mirror, it placed doubts if he could actually preform this when the time came. ……Although he didn’t expected it to go well, it was even worse than anticipated. “……Ha.” Accompanied by a large sigh, Shinji finally relaxed his shoulders. The current location was at Shinji’s own room, where he was standing in front of a mirror in order to practice inviting a girl out. In front of him, there was a boy with the same facial expression──that was to say it was only Shinji himself there. Yet, that was also the natural course of things. However, the figure that stood in front of him didn’t respond back with a reply. “Da….eh, would you like to go on a date……!?” While channeling all of the effort within his body, he did his best to speak while staring at the person in front of him with a neutral facial expression. “Next Sunday, to go with me on, a da, da, da──” Despite some stuttering, he took some deep breaths to adjust his heart beat before opening his eyes. Takamiya Shinji mumbled out a few words while his face was growing redder. Fragmentary Chapter/ 1: Memory “──Eh, Mio, if it is possible, then──” On a certain day.
