My Younger Senpai ch1: My Senpai Who Was Older Than Me

p1
>Hm?

>Who is it at this hour?
>"Long time no see. Sorry to be so sudden, but..."

>That message
>...
>Eh!?

>was the first contact I've had in ages
>from the Senpai I've always loved.
>>Seto-senpai
>>Long time no see. Sorry to be so sudden, but would you like to meet up on Saturday or Sunday? It's totally fine if you can't.

p3
>Uh~ It's cold...

>I got here way too early...
>I should've worn an extra layer.
>Still, the last time I saw Senpai was at her wedding three years ago.
>I'm so nervous...

>I need to be careful that I don't accidentally hug her.
>Calm down, me...

p4
>Guess who.
>!?

>Eh?
>"Eh... you say?"
>"That's not it, my lady."

p5
>"Have you forgotten my name?"

>Ah... Eh~~
>"Se-... no. Aaah~~~"
>Pfft.


p6
>Guess I surprised you a bit too much?
>Ahaha
>I-I couldn't help it!

>I didn't think you'd break out into performing in the middle of the street!
>What's this?
>Sorry about that.

>It's been a while, Nanasawa.
>You look really cold though.

>You're probably thinking that you should've worn an extra layer again, right?
>Ugh.
>You haven't changed at all, Nanasawa~

p7
>You're 25 years old already too, so you should get your act together.
>You can wear that scarf for now.

>So warm...
>Seto-san was my senpai in high school, one year above me.

p8
>The moment I joined the Film Studies Club and saw her acting,
>I immediately fell in love.

>She was cool, kind and reliable...
>I thought of confessing many times, but...
>Me going out with someone?
>I'm too busy with the club. I don't have time for romance.
>Of course...

>...That was the girl she was, so I couldn't do anything.
>All I could do with these uncontrollable feelings...
>Ng

p9
>was let them out on my own.
>Hah<3
>Senpai<3
>Nyah<3

>Just imagining Seto-senpai's delicate fingers
>turned me on.
>...Also...

p10
>the feelings of guilt afterwards were something else.
>...

>I should stop doing that to Senpai...
>Even after deciding that,
>I could only resist for about two days at most.

>And while I was doing that, Senpai graduated... and got married.
>Even now, I regret not using even a little bit of my lust for her
>to encourage me to confess.
>Man.

p11
>All of these cakes are seriously good!

>Still like sweet things, huh?
>They're awesome when you eat them after work or while using your brain.

>We used to go with the club to the local coffee shops just like this, didn't we?
>Ah~ Yeah, we did.
>How nostalgic.
>Do you still live in your hometown?
>That's right.

>I just got stable enough to start living by myself...
>How's married life, Senpai?
>It's been three years, right?
>About that.

p12
>I just got divorced.

>...

>Eh?
>We broke up last month.
>I just finished moving out yesterday.

p13
>What happened...?
>My husband was cheating on me.
>I loved him, but
>he was doing that for six months and I didn't notice.

>I tried to make things work between us,
>but the moment he thoughtlessly said "being with you has gotten tiresome",

p14
>I thought to myself, "I'm done with being in love with people for the time being."

>Ah...

p15
>No way...
>Sorry from bringing up something like this after a long absence.

>I just wanted someone to talk to...

>Senpaiii~...
>Uwaah!?

>I'm so frustrated~~~...
>Why did Senpai...
>Nanasawa...

p16
>Thank you. I feel a little better now.
>Would it be alright if I invited you out again the next time I'm free?
>Sure.
>Call me anytime.

>In the meantime, let's go out for some meat and booze!
>My treat!
>You're treating me!?
>I guess I can let you do that~
>Fufufu
>Leave it to me!

p17
>Hah~... This sucks...
>It was fun, but it sucked...

>Senpai looked cheerful the whole time,
>but she looked really sad when it was time to go home...

>Uuuh...

p18
>If it were me,

>I'd be with her forever.
>Ng...<3
>Fu<3

>Senpa-...<3
>Ah<3
>If could've confessed to her back in high school,

>then maybe Senpai wouldn't have had to make that face.

>If it...
>Ah<3
>Yah<3
>were me...

p19
>I'd make Senpai...
>Nng~<3

>Wah!?

>Ah... Crap...
>My head's... getting.. dizzy...

>...It's been a while
>since I did it... to Sen... pai...
>...

p20
>...san.
>Onee-san!
>Oh?

>Thank goodness you're awake.
>You shouldn't sleep in a place like this.

>Huh... It's morning!?
>Are you okay? You don't feel ill or anything?
>Ah... I'm fine, I think...

>Watch out for cars on the way home.
>If you're hungover, drink plenty of water.
>S-Sorry for the trouble.

>Uuh~
>How shameful for an adult...
>...Hey, wait.

p21
>It's really sunny today!!

>The cicadas are really buzzing.
>I should take off this scarf...
>This isn't what I'd call autumn weather...

>I could've sworn yesterday's forecast said it'd be colder today.
>What time is it anyway?

p22
>>11:40 July 25th (Mon)

>...July?
>Is this thing broken...?

>Well, whatever...
>My body's all crackly from sleeping in a weird place.

>I think I'll just take a shower and go to bed for today...

>Hah~ I'm tired...


p23
>...

>What do you want? I don't want any newspapers.
>Erm... This is my house...

>What are you saying? I've been living here for ages.
>Heh?

p24
>You smell kinda boozey. Go sober up already.
>Eh...?

>>Kubota
>What's going on?
>Something's off.

>It's hot... My phone says it's July...
>and there's a stranger living in my house.

>Both these search results...
>>Today's date
>>Monday, July 25th 2011

>>Blue Times
>>July 25 2011
>and the date on this newspaper are...

>...
>>2011


p25
>No way... It's ten years ago.
>Is this one of those timeslip things?

>It's hard to believe
>but that's what everything keeps adding up to...

>...Ten years ago?

>If it's July in my hometown
>in the middle of the day during summer break...

p26
>then at this store should be...

>Se-...

p27
>Senpai~~~!!

>She used to go to this coffee shop a lot.
>Hya~
>This really is ten years in the past...

>It's Senpai during her second year of high school...
>but for some reason...

p28
>she seems way cuter than I remember...!
>Yeah... yeah.
>Yeah, that should be fine, right?

>I guess she looks more like a child now that I'm older?
>I feel kinda mixed about that, but it's still really nice...

>I wanna go talk to her,
>but isn't it supposed to be bad if someone from the future meddles with someone from the past and changes the future...?

p29
>Hmm~... I wanna talk to her~...
>No~... There's no telling what could happen...

>......
>...Alright.

>I'll just walk past her.
>And maybe get a close look at her.

>If it's just that much, then...

>Then how about next week...
>!

>WATCH OUT!

p30-31
>!

>!!

>Hyah!
>Wah!

p32
>Ouch...
>Oh crap.
>Our lips...
>Ah, hey!

>I'm sorry~!
>Don't use your phone on a motorbike!!
>Hey! Watch where you're going!!
>Our lips touched...

>Senpa-...
>Her lips were so soft...
>Are you okay, miss!?

>Ah... yeah.

p33
>Uwah. She's hot.
>Uwaah... She's hot...

>Sorry for jumping at you like that.
>I hope I didn't injure your pretty legs...
>This much isn't a big deal...
>Ah.

>My cellphone's broken...
>No way! I'm sorry!
>I'll pay you back.

>It's not your fault, Onee-san.
>I'd be far worse off if that bike had run into me.
>But...

>If anything, I should be repaying you~
>...
>In that case...

p35
>Senpai...

>At that moment, I had a thought.

p36
>...
>Eh?

p37
>...
>If I've already gotten myself this involved,

p38
>then I may as well go out with Senpai in this era.
>That might've been a bit too much...
