“Hey, Rai-san, good work today.”
“Ah, good work.”
We headed to the supermarket to buy dinner.
Along the way, I tried to distract myself with small talk.
“What were you two doing today?”
“Huh? What?”
“At least act normal outside…”
“It’s weird to expect someone to be sane in front of the person they like, right?”
That’s not…???
I think there should be some decorum even between a man and a woman.
“Onee san was working. I was streaming too.”
“Oh, I wish I could’ve seen it.”
“I was actually planning to stream from the morning… but it ended up being around noon.”
“Meaning the things you have to do get put off, right? I get it. Like cleaning or snack-related stuff. Once you start working, you lose motivation, huh?”
I wonder why that is.
I was always the procrastinator with summer homework too.
“Well… um…”
Why are you being so evasive?
“Yeah, yeah. I just ended up putting it off.”
Is her face a little red?
Did I say something weird??
“I thought Mei-chan was basically the organized type.”
“I usually am… but today… well… stuff happened. I’ll try my best not to let it happen again…”
Seems like she doesn’t want me to bring it up, so I’ll leave it at that.
“So, Risa, what about her work?”
“Right. Lately, she been working a lot more… she says it makes time pass faster.”
Does that mean she’s feeling lonely?
“She’s always been like that with me, but she’s also become quite close with Rai-san. For her, Rai-san is the only man she can really talk to. Since she doesn’t have many friends, conversation is the most enjoyable thing for her. So when she heard Rai-san was coming in today, she looked really sad…”
She did!?
She’s usually expressionless, so I couldn’t tell at all.
“If she’s waiting for us to come home, we should hurry back. Shall we rush home? What would you like for dinner?”
“Eel… or oysters… avocado… or maybe mountain yam… almond-based dishes are good too…”
“Wait, Mei-chan. What criteria are you using to pick those??”
“Of course, to boost libido…”
“Today’s dinner is hamburger steak.”
“Boo (・ε・｀*)”
Eel and oysters are ingredients known to boost libido—even I’ve heard of them. But avocado and yam too? If I get pressured like this every day, I’ll be drained dry and die.
Seriously, you shouldn’t underestimate young people’s libido.
Mei-chan is one thing, but surprisingly, Risa also comes on strong, which is a problem… What am I even thinking?
“Hamburg steak is great. I haven’t had any in ages, so I’m really happy.”
“I figured Risa would be happy too.”
“Do you think of me as an elementary school kid?”
“No, no, not at all.”
Yeah, you totally do?
I kept those words locked inside my heart.
