My Girlfriend Who Is Older Than Me Teases Me When I’m Working At A Bar, But Maybe Because Of Alcohol

The First Step of Support and Contradiction.

“Wha- whaaat!? Tom, you confessed to a customer!?”

“I already told you, it was just practice and not a serious confession. I thought people who can confess their feelings are amazing. I never thought I would be so nervous…”

The next day, during break time before the first period, Toma reported what happened yesterday to Haru. Their exchange at the bar and its content.

“No, no, even if it was practice, that’s still strange. Maybe the other person had feelings for you and wanted you to confess? Usually, you wouldn’t ask someone you don’t like to do that.”

“That’s not the case. It’s sad to say it myself, but…”

“By the way, who is this person? I’m really curious!”

“I can only say that they are regular customers at the bar named Sasaki-san.”

“I have no idea who that is!”

Toma works at the bar where Haru has never been. Even if he said, “Oh, that Sasaki-san!” it would be terrifying.

“What about a photo? Did she ask you to take a picture together or anything like that?”

“No, they didn’t.”

“Then give me any information you have, no matter how small!”

Haru, who can be considered Toma’s best friend, leans in with a fierce expression. That’s how much he’s interested in the other person.

“Even if it’s just a trivial matter… Apparently she’s a year older than me and goes to university.”

“Give me more details!”

“She’s a neat and composed person.”

“I don’t understand what you mean by that!”

“And, she’s so fashionable that she could be a fashion model.”

“That’s why I don’t understand! You’ve been teasing me about it!”

“Hahaha, well…”

“Geez, ‘well’ is not an answer!”

This easy banter and teasing is proof that they have a good relationship.

If two people were making so much noise like this, they might be mistaken for “unstable” or “noisy,” but during class, they are serious.

Toma and Haru are both twenty years old. They are able to control their on and off personalities well.

“Oh, one more thing. Apparently, the university’s grading system uses letters like S and A instead of excellent or good. Don’t you think that’s unusual?”

“Hmm? Hey, say that again.”

“I was just thinking that it’s unusual for the university’s grading system to use letters, like in nursing school. There’s only one nursing school nearby, Reijo Nursing University.”

“Why do you know about that, Haru?”

Reijo Nursing University is a prestigious school with a nationwide reputation and a high entrance exam score of 69.

There’s a nickname for one of their nursing students, “Nursing’s Angel,” so it’s a popular topic even at South Public University.

“I think I’ve mentioned this before… My older sister goes to that nursing college over there. So I know a thing or two.”

“That’s news to me. Haru, you have an older sister? And she’s going to that nursing college? That’s impressive… It’s a highly competitive school to get into, with a deviation value of 69. It’s definitely not a place for someone lacking in intelligence.”

“She’s a noisy and troublesome older sister though… But that’s not important.”

“Uh-huh…”

Haru wants to ask about a girl named Sasaki, who he thinks might have feelings for Toma. He knows that if they start talking about Toma’s sister, they will definitely get sidetracked.

It’s currently break time, but the lecture is about to start soon. They can’t afford to relax.

“Anyway, since I might know my sister’s friend, I’ll ask her about Sasaki-san today.”

“Why bother asking?”

“Obviously, so Toma can get the upper hand by knowing more about her. You don’t dislike her, right?”

“No, I actually have a good impression of her…”

Toma’s “good impression” is more of a customer-merchant relationship than a romantic one. He sees her as a regular customer, which is not surprising considering how often she visits.

“If you have a good impression of her, then leave it to me!”

“But I don’t think I stand a chance in the first place. Haru, if you see Sasaki-san once, you’ll understand. She’s on a completely different level.”

“Toma, have more confidence! You’re a cool guy, you’re on the same level as her. If she wasn’t the angel of that nursing school, you’d definitely have a chance. There’s no way you can’t make it happen.”

Haru nods confidently based on his own opinion… but it seems that fate has a way of conspiring against them.

“If she wasn’t the angel of that nursing school, you’d definitely have a chance. There’s no way you can’t make it happen.”

Unfortunately, the girl Haru is referring to is indeed the Nursing’s Angel.

They won’t realize this fact until a little later…

“For starters, if Sasaki-san doesn’t have a boyfriend, why not ask for her contact information? If she becomes your girlfriend, you’ll be honestly happy, right? Besides, Toma, you handomse.”

“Well, I don’t plan to deny that…”

“Alright, then go for it! I’m really cheering for Toma’s love!”

Haru is pushing so much because he understands Toma’s appearance and personality, but he shouldn’t forget:

“I can definitely get her if she’s not that angel in the nursing department. There’s no way I can’t.”

…Unfortunately, the person Haru is pushing for is the Nursing’s Angel. This is contradictory to what he is saying
