This area is not a safe place to live, as illegal dumping is a frequent occurrence.
If a beautiful girl like Mai were to walk around here, she might be approached by strangers.
So, she asked me for help…
No,…… it’s none of my business.
But …… there is always a chance.
Maybe I should at least listen to what she said just to make sure.
I had no intention of taking her home, but when I saw the serious look on Mai’s face, I couldn’t tell her to go home.
“…… please …… can I talk to you inside for a little while?”
Mai said this to me with a concerned look upward, and I nodded involuntarily.
Then, Mai suddenly turned around and her face brightened up.
“Thanks! Yui”
After saying that, she slipped past me and quickly climbed into the room.
“W-Wai—-…”
The speed of the change stunned me.
Ugh.. I still can’t believe it’s a real woman.
I was deceived by Mai’s beauty and acting again after all,…….
Mai came into my room without permission and was looking around.
Her eyes are very serious and to be frank, scary.
It’s as if she’s a detective conducting a house search like you’ve seen on TV dramas.
What in the world is Mai’s …… looking for?
Haa …..perhaps…… Mai,…… I see what you mean.
The reason why Mai came all the way to my house is …….
I’m sure Mai is trying to find something in my room.
Yes, she is looking for something to make me look bad – something that every adolescent guy has in his room.
The quickest way to get along with someone is to talk bad about him or her.
Girls are especially prone to this.
So there is always a lot of gossip in class.
I suspect that Mai is trying to use me as a source of teasing in order to blend in quickly with the class.
But fortunately, my room is quite tidy for a guy who lives alone.
I used to live in a house there until three years ago.
I had a family and they …… were very strict with me, especially my mother.
In hindsight, I think it was one step closer to abuse rather than discipline. ……
I should have realized their true nature at that time. ……
In any case, the kind of tidiness has been ingrained in my body from a very young age.
My family is gone, but I still can’t get rid of those habits.
That is why my room is still neat and tidy.
Thanks to this, my numerous collections are also hidden away from Mai’s sight.
Too bad …… Mai, your plan has failed again.
Mai takes one look at my room.
As usual, she still has the scariest look I’ve ever seen on her face.
Or maybe it’s my imagination, but it looks even more powerful than before.
“There is no sign of the foxes as per previous investigation. …..There’s no unpleasant smell either. I guess I should say it was all good for now… But even so… I can’t forgive them for letting him live like this… Those pigs… But it’s okay… From now on, I’ll take care of Yui…”
Mai is mumbling something in a whisper and staring into the void.
I was so overwhelmed by Mai’s murderous aura that I was afraid to even talk to her.
It was as if I was facing an avenger of my parents.
Mai’s…was she this scary ……?
No, no,…… it’s more than that, Mai …… is quite angry.
As expected…my behavior just now was extremely rude.
I lost the timing to speak to her and looked at Mai, wondering what was wrong.
For now, I put some pre-made barley tea in a cup from the refrigerator and set it on the low table.
Well, …… even uninvited guests will have to treated this way at the very least.
“H-here….tea”
I gently call out to Mai, who still exudes a certain air of unreasonableness.
“Ah! Y, yeah ……Yui …… t-thank you.”
The moment I spoke to Mai, for some reason, the atmosphere that she had been wearing softened.
I couldn’t help but feel relieved when I saw that situation.
B-It’s not like I was scared of Mai.
It’s just that if the person you’re with is angry, it just makes you feel worse.
Mai ran her hand through her long black hair, placed her hand on her skirt, and sat down on the tatami mat.
Mai’s gesture was extremely conventional.
Nonetheless, Mai’s gesture looked so elegant that I couldn’t help but be taken aback.
No,…… to tell you the truth, my eyes have already been glued to Mai ever since she arrived.
It’s a foul ……, isn’t it? This one is so cute …….
I dared not look at Mai in the classroom or at the old school building.
I knew this would happen – that I would be helplessly fascinated.
And yet, Mai even came to my house and…. so close in front of me.
I can’t stop looking at Mai.
Mai’s beauty and gorgeous behavior give off an overwhelming aura that makes you forget for a moment that this room is part of that apartment.
It’s a kind of elegance that cannot be exuded by a mere pretty face.
I finally remembered a fact.
That’s right,……, Mai was a very special young lady,…….
I wasn’t really aware of this when I was in elementary school, but now I realize it all over again.
The Minazuki family …… was originally a noble family, and although it shrank temporarily with the breakup of the zaibatsu after the war, it later thrived again and is now a major zaibatsu family with countless multiple companies, large and small, under its control. …… more, From wikapedia.
I had been carried along at Mai’s pace and my mind was completely swept away.
But thanks to her, I was able to regain my composure.
I now know why Mai was looking so scary.
In short, Mai, the daughter of the Minazuki family, had been taken aback by the sight of my shabby house.
Well, …… it’s okay, Mai and I live in different worlds to begin with.
In addition, it would be more convenient for Mai to get fed up with my house and leave quickly.
“Yui, have you been living in this house all by yourself since you transferred to this….. school?”
Mai turns her head and looks around the room again.
Mai’s expression seemed to be quite dark as expected.
“……that’s right, though”
“That’s right…I see. Those pigs…I wonder what I’ll do for them…No…But in order to pass judgment, I have to get Yui’s permission first…those are also Yui’s family after all…”
Mai turned her head away and seemed to be grumbling something under her breath again.
Her face is also quite tense.
