Tsundere Trouble

A/N: I will be using italicized words to show something that happened but Sakuto didn't see or hear.

The tsundere girl left without saying her name. I've seen tsundere girls in anime, but I never thought they would be real. I am in a dating sim, so I guess there would obviously be a tsundere. I finish my two hours of work and head home.

Is dating even the same as in real life? A lot of things are different so dating must be different, right? The fairy's voice speaks to me, "Dating is the same as in real life." The fairy is no one where to be found, but I know I wasn't imagining it. For a dating sim that a lot of things are different it's weird that dating is the same. I have to walk home because I crashed my bike.

How did I mess things up. Hopefully she doesn't hate me too much. I check my job info. I have a girls tab now. I open up the tab and it shows one of the girl. I click on it it it shows me all the information I know about her. I know absolutely nothing about her so there is a ? in almost all the spots about her. I haven't put any time stamps into any hobbies. I should put one into athletics. I have to actually do something to time stamp it. It's only a little after noon. I should go on a jog through the woods then time stamp that. I should get fitter without actually having to do all the running.

I make it back to my apartment room I've been renting out. I change into some jogging clothes. I drive my bike to a wooded area right outside the city. I park my bike. I do some warm-up stretches then jog through the woods. I check my phone and I am already almost level two in stamina. I have like 5% of the way to level up in speed too. I finish my run and then time stamp it on my phone. I didn't make it to level two in stamina, but I will probably get it tomorrow.

I wake up the next the next morning. "I should be leveling up in stamina and my job today." I change into my work clothes and leave for work. I see a little girl sitting on the sidewalk crying. I stop. "Where are your parents?" She looks up at me. "I don't know. I fell and scratched my knee looking for them." It's a good thing I kept some bandages in my pockets after I ran into the tsundere. I pull a small bandage out of my pocket and wrap it around her knee. "Does it feel a little better now?" She nods. I step her on a bench near there. "I'll wait with you until your parents come to find you. Does that sound like a good plan?" She looks up at me. "I'm actually not with my mom or dad right now. I was with my aunt because my parents were on vacation."

"Your aunt must be a nice person." We sit talking for a couple minutes until I hear a voice yell out. "Shiku! Where are you? Shiku!" The little girl calls out, "I'm here!" The tsundere girl walk around a corner. She freezes as soon as she sees me. Shiku runs to the tsundere girl and hugs her. She asks Shiku, "What were you doing here with this man? He almost killed me not too long ago." Shiku looks at me. "He helped me when I couldn't find you." She's her aunt? The tsundere walks up to me. "Thank you for helping my niece. Let me buy you dinner as a thanks."

"It was nothing. I'm sure anyone else would have done the same thing." The little girl interrupts, "Actually, a whole bunch of people passed and did nothing." Wait. She is one of my betrothed so going on a date with her would be a win-win. "I'm Sakuto. Nice to meet you." She waits a second before introducing herself. "I'm Maya." I get a notification on my phone. I look at my phone. It says, "You have met Maya!" I should turn those notifications off. I look at the time. "I'm late for work! I have to go." I turn around. "How does right here in three hours sound?" She answers, "That'll be fine." I run off and start my work. I tell them what happened, and I think they understand. I finish my work, and turn off my notifications for the betrothed. I actually leveled in stamina and my job today.

I should head home and get ready for the date. I walk home and see Maya already at the spot. "What are you doing here so early? It's 20 minutes before we are supposed to meet." She blushes. I have no idea how to react. Could she already like me? "I'll be back in ten minutes. I have to get prepared for the date." She gets startled and blushes more. "A date? I didn't mean it like that." Now I'm confused. "That was my misunderstanding then. My bad." She looked like she was going to say something, but she stopped herself.

I change into a long sleeve t-shirt and some sweatpants. I run back to the spot where we are supposed to meet. "did you ran all the way there and back?" I guess my stamina increases a lot per level. "I run in the woods in my spare time. I do it for about an hour every day." I hope I wasn't sounding like I was bragging. We go to a restaurant. "Where do you work anyways?" She is thinking to herself, so she is not listening to me. I wait for a second, and she snaps out of it. "I work as a waitress here." The lady taking our orders seemed to know her. "That makes a lot of sense then." We finish our food and leave the restaurant. We walk through city and come across a broken down house in the middle of everything. She says, "I can't believe the city doesn't put a park there or something. I mean I could probably do it. It can't be that hard."

"Let's do it." She looks at me confused. "What? I was joking."

"I'm not." She looks surprised now. "It would cost a lot of money and we would need money for materials."

"I can pay for it. So I'll ask you, Do you want to build a park with me?" She sits in silence for a couple seconds. "There is no way you can do it. I'll see how long you can keep this up."

The next day I go to the city hall and have a talk with the mayor. As I predicted the laws are weird here. He said as long as I let the safety inspector check the finished product before I release it to the public I can do whatever I want with it. He said the city would maintain the park after it was released to the public. I run the the restaurant after I get everything worked out. The place is empty so Maya comes over and talks to me. "I have everything worked out. We can create the park." She facepalms. "I can't believe you actually have a chance of doing it. I get off of work in a couple minutes. I'll meet you at the park."

I buy materials to destroy the old broken building there. I give Maya a helmet and a sledgehammer. "Are you ready to destroy this eyesore? Just think of something you hate then swing. Like an ex-boyfriend or something." She smiles and puts the helmet on. She swings her sledgehammer and knocks a huge hole into a wall. "Now I'm a little scared." After an hour the company to destroy everything came. I hired some people to carry away all the rubble too. I was ordering everyone around while Maya was sitting on a bench. Maya said to herself, "That glimmer in your eyes is only of kindness and hope."

After the people take away the rubble the plot is just a field with a wide hole in the middle. "Why are you doing this Sakuto?" I smile and look up into the night sky. "From what you said it seems pretty obvious that nobody wants the old building there. A park would be a nice addition for everyone." I stand and start to walk away. She grabs my arm. "That's not what I meant. Why are you being so nice?" I laugh. "What's the point of doing anything if it's only for you?" She let go of my arm. She was at a loss for words. "Don't think I'm going to let you slack around during construction. I will work you to the bone." She smiles. "Of course. You are giving this project your all. I should too."

The next day I go to the restaurant where Maya works. "What are you doing here so early Sakuto?" I look at her. "I'm working here now." I put a time stamp into cooking and got it to level two. "I'm a waiter right now, but I'm hoping to become a cook here." She sighs. "You are a lot Sakuto." After both my jobs, we start actual construction. I oversee the whole operation and help out. Maya helps out however she can. We do this for five more days. I earn two time stamps in the process, but I don't use them yet. It's the final day of construction. We just have to set up the swing set up.

We finish setting up the swing except for one screw. One of the workers asks, "Do you want to do the honors Sakuto?" I point to Maya. "She was the person to start it, so she should be the one to finish it." She smiles at me and finishes the park. Everyone is cheering. The safety inspector comes up to me and says, "Everything is good. You did a good job." I thank the man.

The next day we have to be at the opening ceremony. I finish my jobs and we head to the opening ceremony. I made Maya my assistant project manager. The mayor announces, "Thanks to everyone working on this project, we now don't have the eyesore of a building ruining our town anymore. Please welcome the man who made this all possible, Sakuto." I walk on the stage. "Thank you everyone for supporting this project we have started. My assistant project manager inspired me to want to fix this plot. I would also... like to... thank--" I think I may have worked a little too hard.

"Ow. My head. Where am I?" I open my eyes to find myself in a hospital room. A male doctor tells me, "You overexerted yourself." I see Maya sleeping on some chairs in the corner of the room. "She stayed here all night." He snickers then leaves the room. I sigh. That Maya being so worried about me. She wakes up. "Sakuto! You are all right!" She comes up to my cot and hugs me. "You better not do something so reckless again! You have to stop working yourself too hard." I laugh. "Sakuto... why... did you have... Why did you have to make me love you?"

"Maya..." She stops me. "I understand if you don't like me back."

"Maya, I--" She stops me again. "I said it was fine!" She was in tears by now. She was crying into my hospital gown. "Maya, you aren't listening." She looks up. "Maya, I love you too." She pulls me to her, and we kiss.

She finally let's go of me. "I wasn't expecting that, Maya. I'm not complaining though." We both laugh. I look at the time on my phone. "Maya you should get to work. I will join you once I'm feeling better."

"No. As your girlfriend I can't let you go to work today. I will tell them at work you can't come today. I'll also tell them we are an item now." I sigh. "We are already putting a title on it and telling everyone. If I tell you not to you probably still will tell everyone." She smiles back at me. "You know me." She runs off to go announce our relationship to all of our co-workers. "That Maya." I sit is silence for a few minutes. I can overhear a couple doctors saying something from outside my room. "Dr. Yurima we have a patient in this room. Will you go check on him?" Dr. Yurima answers back, "Absolutely." My door opens and a doctor with long red hair to her hips, purple eyes, and glasses looks at me. She looks to be pretty young for a doctor. Her face turns red when she looks at me. *Ba-dump*

Is Dr. Yurima a betrothed?
