On the day before a three-day weekend in September, I received a line from Yuri.
[Urgent call ! Furniture assembler, first day of 3 consecutive holidays, place of work: my house, working hours: 14:00-18:00, remuneration negotiable.]
[Resume, Kingo Samejima, 17 years old, remuneration: dinner desired.]
[Hired ! Come directly to my house.]
“Welcome.”
Yuri, who greeted me, had her long hair in a ponytail, different from usual.
She was wearing a cute short-sleeved T-shirt with fluttering sleeves and half pants, which were more skin-colored than usual.
“Oops. Your loungewear is cute too.”
“Thanks. The assembled bookcase will be here soon, so wait a bit.”
“So you’re ordering online this time?”
“Yes. I ordered one that fits the size of the books I have.
I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait a bit.”
“Yeah. I’ll do my homework and wait.”
The bookshelf arrived around 3:00 p.m., and we decided to take it to Yuri’s room to assemble it.
The first time I entered Yuri’s room, it was a small western-style room about four and a half tatami mats,
There was a tall system bed integrated with a desk and a few cute accessories and stuffed animals.
It was still hot, but the window was fully open, and I couldn’t help but sniff it,
“Don’t sniff it !”
I was severely scolded.
First, we lightly read the instructions, put the boards in order, and then worked together to assemble them.
“We did it !”
“It was easier than I thought ! Thank you !”
Yuri was satisfied with the result, even though she had only put the book in the place where she planned to put it.
We decided to take a break for now, and while we were sharing the two kinds of Hagens I had bought and eating them in a good mood, I heard the front door lock jingle !
“I’m home～!”
It was Yuri’s mother, who had returned, and she was in a super good mood!
“W-why?”
Yuri was flustered, I was frozen, and her mother smiled at me.
“Welcome, Kingo kun !
Kukuku ! I knew you’d be here !”
“Why? You said you had to work until 20:00 today !”
“I mistook it for tomorrow～, Tee-hee !”
Her mother mockingly patted herself on the head with a winked,
showing a little tongue.
Oh, Yuri, you’re being set up !
“You tricked me !”
“I said I made a mistake !
You guys are finally going out with each other?
Hey, hey, are you dressed like that because…”
Auntie grinned and stared at Yuri’s T-shirt and half pants, which were more skin tone than usual with a grin.
“Nothing happened !”
“Is it over already? What a shame, I should have come home a little earlier…”
She twisted Yuri’s denial and was disappointed, as if she had missed out on some interesting shows.
“Like I said, nothing happened ! Hey, are you listening?”
Yuri’s exclamations were completely unbearable, and Auntie put her hand on my right shoulder.
“Hey, Kingo kun, you don’t have to sneak over, okay?
You can think of it as your home and you can come here every day,
You can stay over if you want.
Of course, you can stay here in bed with this girl.
I won’t bother you, so don’t mind me.
Oh, and just be careful with birth control until you graduate high school !”
With that last line, she winked at me.
What do you want me to do?
Thank you very much ! I smiled and bowed my head,
I’m sure Yuri would have cut me off…
“Mom ! I just asked him to assemble a bookcase for me !
“You’re so noisy.
Hey, Kingo kun, how about me instead of this noisy little girl?”
She brushed her hair back and made a sexy expression on her face.
Auntie is indeed a former snack bar worker,
She has a high level of underhandedness-related aggression and is also very free with her methods of attack !
I’m at a loss for what to say when I get involved.
“Mom !”
Yuri screamed, her eyes lifting up more than ever.
“Don’t yell at me so much.
It’s because you’re slowing things down.
You’ve been clutching your phone with a maiden’s expression on your face since Kingo kun rescued you from that piece of shit this past spring !
Kingo kun, you got hurt in the summer, didn’t you?
At that time, she always looked worried and was wandering around the house because she couldn’t see you ! ”
Yuri’s anger fizzled out when she finally revealed her maiden-in-love attitude.
“I can’t take it anymore !”
She mumbled with tearful eyes and ran out of the house !
“Yuri ! I’m sorry to bother you !”
“Take care~!”
As I hurriedly chased after Yuri, I heard Auntie’s easygoing voice bumping into my back.
Yuri was standing still at an intersection near the house.
“Yuri…”
I didn’t know what to say to her, so I just called her name.
“I can’t. I’m not going home !”
Yuri’s face turned bright red and she was sulking like a kid.
“Okay, I’ll go out with you. But you’re dressed like that…”
Yuri was still wearing her loungewear with fluttering sleeves, a T-shirt, and half pants, which were more skin tone,
She was also barefoot and wearing sandals.
“No. I’m not going home.”
“Well, where’s your phone and wallet?”
She was also empty-handed.
Yuri was surprised, but she kept shaking her head.
“No. I’m not going home.”
“Okay. Then, would you like to put this on?”
I took off the top of the light jersey I was wearing and offered it to her,
Yuri took it without hesitation.
Yuri was about 10 cm shorter than me,
The length and sleeves were long, and it looked like she was wearing a college jersey.
It still had the feel of loungewear, though.
Well, I guess people would look at me a lot less now that it has less skin color.
“What should we do? Should we go to a karaoke bar or an Internet cafe to kill time?
“No. I don’t wanna take the train, and I don’t wanna go near the station.”
“Hmmm. Well, why don’t you walk to my house, even though it takes almost an hour?”
“….Don’t you have a sister?”
“She’s working part-time right now, and she’s going out to dinner with her girlfriends.”
“Let’s do that. I’ll cook dinner for Kingo, as promised.”
Finally, Yuri smiled a little.
I glanced toward Yuri’s house and saw her mother staring at me and waving.
