“Oh…..that feels so good.”
“Can I do it again?”
“Is that okay? Then I want you to do it harder.”
“Okay.”
“…..Fufu, I’m so happy that my son can do something like this.”
“I’ll do it any time if it’s this much.”
“Really? Then I’ll keep asking you to do this for me.”
The night of the day I had the incident with Yume chan, I was massaging my mother’s shoulders.
“It helps me forget all the bad things I’ve been through at the office.”
“You know, Mom,……you don’t accumulate too much–“
“I won’t. I told you before, didn’t I? No matter what happens, your presence not only makes me happy but also cheers me up.”
“…..I see.”
“Yeah.”
My mother’s smile reassures me.
…However, there was a reason why I rubbed my shoulders like this, and it was because I offended my mother.
The truth is, I spent a lot of time with Yume chan, and it was much later than I usually return home….that’s why I was trying to put her in a good mood, because I had made her worry.
(Well, I was wrong about this)
I know it’s not true, but I heard that kidnapping and rape by female criminals is on the rise, and that’s why my mother was angry that I walked outside in the dark.
Honestly, I’m still not used to this.
Yume chan looked ecstatic all the way through, and it seemed like she was watching me until I entered the house, and that’s how worried she was.
(……I don’t understand why she was worried about me with an ecstatic expression on her face.)
Well, Yume chan wasn’t that bad…
I told my mother, who was in a perfectly good mood, good night and went back to my room to pick up my phone.
Then a call came in just in time from Kanade.
“Hello?”
[Hey Ren, are you okay now?]
“I’m fine, okay?”
[I see. ……I heard from Yume who came home today. She said happily that you helped her.]
“I just happened to see her.”
[Still, thank you very much. Partly because Yum is my precious sister to me, but I was also happy that her partner was Ren.]
…He’s a very polite person who goes out of his way to tell me this.
However, even in this world, Kanade still cares about Yume chan, and it makes me happy to hear that expressed in words like this.
[That Yume…..she keeps talking about Renwhen we eat. My father is encouraging Yume as well as my mother.]
“Well, I’ll come visit you sometime.”
[I’d love to.]
“……Kanade, take good care of your family, will you?”
[Haha, that’s obvious. It’s just…lately I’ve been feeling a little scared of my mother.]
Oops…I ended the call without asking any further details.
After the phone call with Kanato ended, what I had to do in the evening was as I had planned…I first called Minase…and unexpectedly, she answered on one call.
[Hello….hello !]
She’s very easy to understand.
The fact that I smiled at Minase’s appearance helped to ease some of my nervousness and anxiety,……but I’m still anxious about various things.
“Hello, Minese,…..you remember?”
[Erm…..about what?]
“…………….”
I was….not disappointed in Minase’s reply.
This was predicted to some extent, and I was mentally prepared for it when the world switched in the first place.
“No, it’s nothing. I’m sorry Minase, for calling you out of the blue.”
[No, that’s not true…but thank you very much. Um..it was stuffed in a pretty naughty way, wasn’t it? That’s why you really didn’t like it, and thought you wouldn’t call me even if I gave you my contact information.]
“……Who?”
Maybe Minase is the type who calms down in situations like this?
Putting aside for a moment the fact that Minase doesn’t remember what I said, I told her this in order to reassure her, who looked somewhat anxious.
“I definitely don’t dislike it…there are a lot of things that make me really nervous. But I’m definitely happy to have become friends with Minase.”
[Ah…♡]
Well…I wonder why I can say such disgusting lines so easily.
Well, when Minase, Noto, and Yume chan look anxious, I just want to reassure them.
“Hey, Minase, do you want to talk a little more?”
[I do !]
So I talked with Minase for about 30 minutes.
During that time, Minase’s voice sounded very sexy, and I was concerned that I heard something like water bouncing, but in the end the call ended with Minase looking very satisfied.
“As I thought…Minase’s goodwill really shows through.”
…Well, let’s take the time to ask Noto about it.
I tried my best to forget about Minase’s sexy voice that kept lingering in my head, so I called Noto and she answered with a single call.
[Hello? What’s wrong, Sukui? I didn’t expect you to call me ! Still, I waited ! If anything, I’ve been praying !]
“Y-yeah……good evening Noto.”
Ah, Noto is also the type whose character changes.
But at this rate, Noto might be the same as Minase,…..I thought, but my heart almost jumped out of my chest when she said the words that came out of her mouth.
[Hey, Sukui…I vaguely remember something. Sukui has something going on…isn’t that probably what’s happening right now?]
“…..Noto?”
[I guess that’s true, isn’t it? I know from the way you looked…I said I wanted to comfort you, right? I told you I want to embrace you and support you–hey Sukui, could you please talk to me a little more?]
“……Noto !”
My tears…I can’t stop crying……!
That may be an exaggeration, but Noto’s words lit a ray of hope in my heart.
Then I tried talking to Noto about it again,……but the conversation didn’t seem to mesh.
[..Well, I understand. But somehow I can’t seem to understand…um, I’m really sorry.]
It was as if the world itself was interfering with Noto’s thoughts…I felt like I was witnessing such an impossible phenomenon.
Maybe….I really have no choice but to take my time with this.
It’s impossible to get people to understand everything in just one or two conversations,…..but it’s good to know that Noto’s memories have remained with her, even if only a little.
“Noto….you really are a sweet girl….I can’t stop crying.”
[No, no, no….you’re crying !? Shall I fly over there now??]
“As expected, I’ll be fine up to that point…but thank you, Noto.”
[Huh…I’m always happy to hear Sukui’s gratitude. Hey, is it okay if I call you again?]
“Okay. Of course.”
[Thank you……♡]
Sweet…the voice that echoed through the smartphone sounded so sweet.
Then, after talking for a while with Noto as well as Minase, the call ended and I let out a sigh.
“……Haha, I can’t worry too much….I hate to admit that there’s something magical going on here, but the two of them have made me feel a little lighter.”
I still have a lot to think about…but I have people on my side.
That fact not only helped me, it also made my supposedly big worries seem a little smaller.
(……This makes me think about how I want them to be by my side no matter what they do to me…..)
In fact, if it’s just this…it might be a bit of a mistake to think that it’s fine.
I think that’s how far Minase and Noto have gotten inside my mind.
“…I guess I’ll go shower and go to bed.”
In a way, I wonder if this could also be a new problem.
However, rather than worries, problems just flow one after the other…because something a little strange happened.
“…..Eh?”
I noticed that a message from a huge celebrity had arrived in the direct message on the SNS I usually use.
