Suddenly
After coming back to our train stop, an hour had passed. We decided to send Konoha-chan back home first.
“Sorry for having you take me home.”
“It’s quite close, so it’s fine. Also, I’ll be worried. I need to protect Konoha-chan if something unexpected happened.”
“I’m also worried about Ane-sama, even though you say that.”
W-What!?
What part of me are you worried about?
Even though I may look like this, I was a former male you know! I’ll kick any suspicious person away!
“Well, it’s not late at night, so it’ll be fine; there’s no need to worry that much. Well, be careful of the suspicious person next to you,” Nii-san said as he was smiling at Koyou.
“Aren’t you being a bit mean there, Riku!? I said sorry for being insensible at that time.”
“No, I don’t care about the haunted house anymore. I’d act like this without that happening.”
“So cruel!”
You sure can tell that they’re truly close.
This is what it means to be on good enough terms to always quarrel with each other.
If they weren’t close, they wouldn’t say these things, you know.
Ah, I didn’t fight with one-sided violence like this in my last life, so don’t get me wrong.
“Well then, I will be fine from here on out. Ane-sama, Onii-sama, see you again.”
“Let’s play again♪”
“See you again, Fukubayashi-san.”
“Hey? What about me? Hey, hey?” Kouyou was being the comedic relief as always.
“Bye bye.”
After Konoha-chan bowed this way, she walked away, pretending not to see him.
At any rate, Konoha-chan sure is used to dealing with Kouyou.
Kouyou started, “Even though this was our second time meeting, I sort of feel close to her.”
I replied, “Isn’t that just how everyone deals with you? So, what are you going to do? Go home?”
“No, I was going to drop by your house.”
“Please go home.”
Why are you dropping by like usual?
“Well, I’ll go home sooner today.”
I’d wish you’d go home without stopping by since you said that, though…
“Well, let’s go home.”
Then, we walked to our house not having any particularly conversation.
Since we were tired, we didn’t really talk.
◆◇◆◇◆◇
We flopped onto the living room sofa after we arrived home.
“Puhaa~ I’m tired.”
It can’t be helped since we walked this much in one day right.
The back of my foot hurts…
“Naru, I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
“Eh? There’s still no hot water yet?”
“No, I’m just taking a shower today.”1
Like that, Nii-san went to the bathroom.
I think you should take a bath when you’re tired…
Well, he probably wanted to get it over with quickly.
Come to think of it, only Kouyou and I are in the living room right now .
Because we’re not alone together that often, it was slightly awkward…?
To be honest, it was complicated.
Well, I guess it’s fine if I deal with him like usual.
“Thank you very much for the ticket today. It was fun.”
“Ahh, I’m glad that you’re happy. It’d be nice if we go again.”
“Of course…”
“…”
“…”
Huh!? It’s kinda hard to talk!
The mood is different from usual, or rather how do I put this…
Kouyou seems to be different from before…
To think that Nii-san changes the atmosphere this much.
Kouyou looked as if he was thinking hard, and looked straight at me as if he decided something important.
“Naru-chan, there’s something I want to tell you!”
“Y-Yes!?”
He shouted so suddenly that I got surprised!
What made you speak so abruptly, Kouyou?
After that, Kouyou said something unbelievable to me.
“I like…you.”
“…Eh?”2
- Good time to explain this short exchange. Common Japanese houses have baths, but usually hot water takes TIME to heat up because not all houses have boilers, and apartments usually have small boilers which require you to start up when you want to take a bath (or even a shower).
- The author actually put: “Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.” But I simplified it for you guys :)
Yep Thank you very much
