――In the afternoon, we returned to Toka’s room to pack our belongings.
We packed the few remaining items in the room into our backpacks. We still had three days before moving out, so we decided to leave the bulky items for later.
“Toka, are you really going to sleep in my room?”
“Huh? I thought I would be able to stay with Ryo-kun the whole time…”
“Umm…?”
Toka said that without any hesitation. Well, it’s fine, but it’s not really fine… Will I be able to sleep tonight? We did sleep together once before, but the situation is completely different now.
“…By the way, are your textbooks okay?”
I changed the subject to distract myself from my own selfish thoughts. If I think too much about it, I’ll just get worked up, so let’s talk about school and clear my head.
“I anticipated this and left everything at school.”
“Liar! You just didn’t want to bother, that’s all!”
Fortunately (?), everything she needed for school seemed to be safe.
(Use this to buy the things Asahina-san needs.)
Saying that, my mother handed me some money. When it comes to stabilizing our living situation, there are just too many things we’re missing.
Toka’s clothes are just her usual sweatshirt, uniform, and the light blue dress we bought together earlier! Underwear… I’m not sure, but I think we’re probably short on that too…
“Toka, should we stop by the convenience store on the way home?”
“Sure, but why?”
“We need to buy Toka’s daily necessities, right?”
“Well, I thought we could just buy them as we thought of them.”
“You’re really careless about your own belongings!”
Carrying Toka’s luggage, I looked around the room. Suddenly, I noticed the TV’s power outlet.
“…Toka, I’m sorry about the TV earlier. You probably didn’t want to see the oldyou.”
“Hmm…”
I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened at lunch. Maybe I should have stopped her, even if it meant forcing her… I definitely didn’t want Toka to get hurt…
“I’m fine.”
“Huh?”
“To be honest, I was really resistant to seeing my old self… but it was way easier than I thought. Actually, I was a little happy to hear that you liked it, Ryo-kun.”
Toka said that to me with a slight blush. Those words made me feel truly relieved.
“Ryo-kun has always liked me, hasn’t he?”
“Well, I won’t deny it…”
“I don’t know the old Ryo-kun, but I like you even more now.”
“Don’t you feel embarrassed saying that yourself!?”
“Actually, a little.”
Since we started dating, Toka has started to express her feelings for me directly. Sometimes I don’t know how to respond, but it makes me very happy.
“Your face is red.”
“Shut up! Of course it’s going to be red if you say that!”
“I see. Then can I make it redder?”
Toka peered at my face with a mischievous expression. She was very close. Extremely close.
…And then Toka stood on her tiptoes and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
“What!?”
“Yes, you’re even redder now.”
“Your face is red too!”
“It’s not just imagination, is it?”
Even as I retorted, Toka smiled happily. Damn it, Toka was cute even when she was a child actor, but she’s definitely the cutest now.
“I’m sad that I have to leave this room, but there are also lots of things to look forward to.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because from now on, I’ll be able to stay with Ryo-kun all the time. I’ll be able to have Ryo-kun all to myself.”
Right now, I feel like there’s a heart mark at the end of Toka’s sentence. It seems like she’s seriously planning to move into the same room as me…
Still, it’s sad. Hearing Toka say that, a sudden wave of sadness washed over me. I had a spare key to this room, you know…
“Toka, did you forget anything?”
“I don’t think so…”
“Are you sure?”
“Ugh, I suddenly lost my confidence…”
“There’s still time, so if there’s anything, we can come back together to get it. Let’s create lots of memories together in the room from now on.”
“Wow, you suddenly started flirting with me.”
“Don’t say that, you’re the one who suddenly kissed my cheek!”
“I just felt like doing it, so what can I say!”
And so we left the room of memories. It might be a little strange, but I said “thank you” to the room in my heart before stepping out the front door.
◇
After leaving Toka’s house, we decided to stop by a nearby convenience store. I actually wanted to go to a drugstore too, but for now, let’s just buy the things we need right away.
“Drinks and snacks, right?”
“Hey, this isn’t a field trip!”
“I was thinking we could just relax in Ryo kun’s room today.”
She really doesn’t hold back with me! Yet she gets all stiff in front of my family!
“At least buy a toothbrush and face wash!”
“I’ve never used face wash before…”
“Are you kidding me!? You’re just being lazy!”
“Someone told me I’m cute.”
“I said it, but I didn’t say it like that!”
“Then from now on, I’ll leave my face to Ryo-kun.”
“Hey, you’re not just leaving your hair to me, but your face too… your face!?”
While having that conversation in front of the daily necessities section with Toka, I started to feel people’s eyes on us.
“…Hey, isn’t that Asahina Toka?”
“She was on TV the other day, right?”
“I think her agency is in a lot of trouble right now, isn’t it?”
We could feel the stares of the customers in the store. The topic of Asahina Toka still hadn’t died down.
“…Toka, let’s go. Is this enough shopping?”
“Ryo kun, did you forget anything?”
“No, I don’t think so…”
“Are you sure you didn’t forget anything? Are you okay?”
“No, I really didn’t forget anything…”
“Are you sure you didn’t forget anything!?”
“Why are you so desperate!?”
Toka was pulling on the hem of my shirt shyly for some reason.
