Episode 42 – A hunch I have from experience

“Ha?
“Didn’t you hear me? Shooting’s on. —-“
“No that. Why do I have to escort you?”

I don’t understand.
What’s the point of going all the way to her magazine’s photo shoot?
Do you want me to watch your luggage while you work?

“I want you to watch me work!”
“Ha?”

I sound even more like an idiot.
I don’t know what that means.

“What do you want me to think when I see you working?”
“I want you to think I’m cute or amazing?”
“I’m not going.”
“I’m kidding, really. I want you to see how serious I am.”
“Why?”
“You know, I’m always so close to you that you might think I’m a pain in the ass, don’t you?”
“Not probably. I’m thinking it.”
“So, if he sees me in a more respectable light, maybe he’ll change his mind.”
“It won’t change. …………”

I was at a loss for words for a moment.
The very first time I saw a magazine with Shiina in it, anywhere but in an interview, my mind did indeed waver a bit.

The girl who always acts like this is in a magazine that every teenager picks up with a 180 degree different look.

If it were a normal childhood friend, I would be happy to go see her and she deserves my respect, but with Shiina, I’m not in the mood.
But, well, it would be a good experience if I could at least see her,

“I don’t mind if just follow along.”

When I heard those words,

“Really? I knew it, Saku-kun, you’re my prized boyfriend!”

Shiina’s smile was bright and she hugged me.

“Don’t be like that! You’re annoying!”
“I have to show your feelings of happiness to get through to You!”
“Don’t tell me, keep them to yourself.”
“If you’re coming, that’s all that matters.”
“Don’t get stuck with me forever.”

I’m going along to a magazine shoot, but I have a bad feeling about it.
The instinct is to feel it.
I’m afraid that if Shiina does something on her own, I might not be able to handle it, but I’m afraid that she’ll bring others into it.

“I’m going home calmly today.”

When we get to the front of the house, Shiina opens the gate and turns around.

“Get inside the house.”

I immediately open the front door too.

“I’ll see you at school! I mean, tomorrow morning!”
“Who’s going to school with me, you idiot?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll catch up with you even if you go first, Saku-kun.~”
“…………….Tch”

I glared at Shiina, who waved at me with a smile on her face, and I clicked my tongue, and I shut the door to my house hard, locked it, even chain-locked it, and told my parents never to let Shiina inside the house.
