My Girlfriend Looks Down and Makes Fun of Me - Chapter 1
Natsuki is late.
Even though it was her who invited me…
I’ve been standing in front of the station under the blazing sun.
I feel light-headed.
An hour had already passed since the meeting time of our date.
It’s been like this in the past few days.
Natsuki is a beautiful girl with long, neat black hair and stands out in class in a special way.
I fell in love with her at first sight and confessed my feelings to her on the spur of the moment, and that was the end of my luck.
At first, she behaved just like her innocent image, but gradually she started to fall apart, and now she calmly ends up being over an hour late for dates.
“Good morning!”
Natsuki-sama appeared without showing any signs of remorse.
Natsuki’s outfit today is a black miniskirt and a white top. Her top has a black ribbon on her chest. Long live her cleanliness.
“Good morning. You’re finally here.”
“Did you say something?”
Let me be clear at this point.
“As expected, I don’t think it’s okay to be late for more than an hour every time.”
“I need time to dress up and put on makeup, so it can’t be helped.”
Her overbearing attitude annoys me. You have a cute face, but…
If it takes you so long to get ready, why don’t you just delay the meeting time?
“I’m thirsty. Buy me a drink.”
“Yes, yes.”
This is how I’m treated in and out of high school. When I argue with her, she’ll just say the same thing as before.
I bought Natsuki a juice and gave it to her. Finally, the date began.
Today, we are going to a shopping mall at Natsuki’s request. Well, it’s called a date but it’s more like I’m being used as a luggage carrier. Our dates have always been like this.
We’ve been dating for three months and haven’t kissed yet.
The first shop is the general store. Natsuki chose an accessory with a serious face for over an hour.
My right hand was occupied by a paper bag.
The second stop was a clothing store. Natsuki tried on a casual one-piece romper showed them to me.
No, it’s really cute. To be honest, it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m silently carrying her luggage just to see this.
My left hand was also packed.
We ate kebabs together for lunch. Natsuki was fiddling with her smartphone throughout the meal.
My head hurts.
“Can you refrain from using your phone while eating?”
“I’m busy now. Be quiet.”
“…………”
In the afternoon, we went to the third stop, the cosmetics store. More bags on my right.
The fourth store seems to be outside, so I am made to walk again.
I have too many bags, and my legs and back are at their limits. I can’t walk straight.
“Can we take a break?”
“No. We have the next store to go to.”
“I’m at my limit. Please.”
I want you to do me a favor.
“I can’t believe you’d give up on me like that! You’re so useless! What’s the point of living? All you can do is carry my baggage, so shut up and follow me!”
My patience ran out.
I went out with her for three months, but I didn’t like her personality.
I was going to break up with her, but since I’m here, I’m going to get even with her one last time.
“Ugh”
I dropped the bags and held my chest.
“So noisy-”
“Eh? Are you okay?”
It was a realistic performance. Natsuki was unusually concerned about me.
I fell to the ground and crouch down.
“What? Huh? Ehh?”
Seeing that there was clearly something wrong with me. Natsuki was petrified on the spot.
“Hey, hey!”
Natsuki frantically shook me. I didn’t reply.
“Hey, come on!!!”
Natsuki started crying. This is a masterpiece.
“Ren! Ren! Hey, Ren! Ren!!”
Wow, when was the last time she ever called me by my name? Let’s wait and see a bit more.
“Aaaah… Ahhh. I’m sorry.”
Natsuki sobbed.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!”
What! Natsuki! Natsuki actually apologized!
“I won’t, I won’t do it again!”
It’s funny that she cried so much, I almost threw up.
Panicked, Natsuki took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
oh? what’s next?
“Somebody!!!!!! Please come!!! My boyfriend collapsed!!”
Eh.
Two passers-by rushed in response to Natsuki’s shout.
Oh, no. This is going to be a big deal.
“Please call an ambulance. Please find an AED[1]!”
“Ye-yes!” “Okay!”
Natsuki gave the two precise instructions.
As expected, it’s bad. Let’s get up.
I tried to speak out, but no sound came out.
Apparently, I had a heat stroke. Come to think of it, I only bought drinks for Natsuki.
” The ambulance will be here soon!?I’m almost there!?It’s going to be okay!!”
Natsuki comforted me a lot.
I tried my best to respond, but Natsuki started giving me CPR.
“Uh, uh, uh, uh”
Wait, is CPR supposed to be painful when you’re conscious?
After Natsuki lifted my chin with two fingers, she pinched my nose.
The next moment, my mouth is blocked.
Natsuki gave me artificial respiration without hesitation.
Oh no, my first kiss with Natsuki was like this.
The air was pumped into my lungs with all her might.
“Co-cough”
I choked.
“Puhhh…! Ren!?Thank God he’s regained consciousness!
No, I was conscious.
“Sorry……”
” Don’t apologize!?It’s my fault for taking you around!”
While shedding tears, Natsuki laid me down on my side, put her upper hand under my face, and put me in a recovery position. That skill.
“I’m glad I studied just in case…”
Natsuki spoke with tears in her eyes.
I was able to learn an unexpected side of Natsuki.
I was then taken by ambulance to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with heat stroke.
While I was on an IV drip, Natsuki was holding my hand the whole time.
“sorry”
That arrogant Natsuki started apologizing with tears in her eyes.
“I’ve never had anyone be this kind to me before. I think I was too spoiled by Ren’s kindness…”
Pampering??Hmm??Is that spoiling??Isn’t that being a servant?
“I’ve been so selfish that I’ve neglected Ren’s feelings and made you feel overwhelmed…”
That Natsuki…
“I’ll take better care of Ren from now on…”
I sat up from bed.
“Natsuki, thank you- “
“Eh… Don’t leave me… I don’t want it.”
Natsuki clung to me. I’ve never seen Natsuki so timid like a puppy.
“I won’t throw it away, so listen to the end.”
“Mmm”
Natsuki is looking me up and down, trying to catch my every move.
“So, I pretended to collapse to get back at you, but I actually collapsed for real, but Natsuki gave me a lifesaving treatment, and I was able to learn about a side of Natsuki that I hadn’t known before. I didn’t know everything about Natsuki, but I assumed that she was a person who couldn’t care for others.”
“So I’m the one who’s sorry.”
Natsuki shook her head.
“So, let’s call this time even, and I’d appreciate it if you’d be a little nicer to me from now on.”
“Yeah. Understood. Thank you, Ren. I love you.”
Saying that, Natsuki firmly grasped my hand and smiled.
Her face was also cute.

After that, many things changed.
First of all, Natsuki has stopped being overbearing to me at all. On the contrary, her personality has changed so much that it worries me.
Natsuki now picks me up at home every morning when I go to school. She even makes me a homemade lunch every day. She used to make me go to the store to get my lunch.
On Valentine’s Day, she brought a huge heart-shaped cake to school. It was scary.
Naturally, she was no longer late for our dates.
Even when I arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, like today, she was waiting for me.
“Good morning Natsuki. Did you wait?”
“Ren!?Good morning!?I’m not waiting for you at all!?Do you want something to drink??Do you want some tea?”
“Thank you.”
This was also unthinkable before.
“Well, let’s go!?In the morning, I want to go to a clothing store. In the afternoon, we’ll go to karaoke, which Ren wanted to go to!”
“Can you carry my things again?”
“I don’t mind the luggage…hold my hand…”
Natsuki’s outfit today is a brown T-shirt and a black one-piece romper she bought the before. Long live the cleanliness!
As usual, Natsuki and I started walking together, holding hands.

Symptoms that appeared on Ren such as dizziness, headache, and inability to walk straight, may indicate heat stroke!
Stay hydrated!
This was a heat stroke prevention novel.
Even if you came to read a romantic comedy, but you were planted with preventive and lifesaving knowledge before you knew it ??? I would be happy if you could review and follow me!
