When I returned to my room, I found Yamanashi waiting for me in the living room.
She was dressed in a plain jersey and slightly oversized sunglasses. She was wearing a mask that covered her face and her hair was tucked into a deep hat.
When she saw me, Yamanashi took off her mask and sunglasses. The ornaments that had hidden most of her face were gone, and I could see her smiling face.
“Welcome back, Sendo-kun. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“…..Why are you waiting for me? I thought you said you wouldn’t be back for another three days.”
“I snuck out. I wanted to see you, Sendo-kun.”
When you put it all together in words, it sounds cute, but I know that there is something lurking behind it. I kept as much distance between me and Yamanashi as possible and continued the conversation.
“You’ve been away a lot today, haven’t you?
“How did you know? I don’t remember contacting you.”
“Right pocket.”
At Yamanashi’s request, I fearfully put my hand into my right pocket. Inside was a small GPS, which is nowadays used for attaching to things you don’t want to lose. The one in my pocket was one of those. What a dangerous world we live in!
“One Man Alone at the Aquarium ……’”
“Are you trying to say it’s fishy? If you’re going to say that, apologize to all the boys in the country who love aquariums before you say it.”
“I’m not accusing you for free. Your father gave you a ticket yesterday, didn’t he?”
“I’m not going to ask you how you know that at this point”
“I guessed. …… and who did you go with?”
Depending on the answer to this question, my future life will be decided. I guessed so, somehow.
I’ve been through the rough spots many times with my quick thinking. I should do the same this time. I was searching for an excuse in my brain.
The excuse that was instantly bursting out of my brain, I immediately uttered.
“It was with a friend. It’s not who you think it is.”
……not wrong. She’s a friend in my mind. We helped each other fall in love, but we didn’t love each other. I’m not lying.
“…… Hmmm~? I see.”
Yamanashi’s reaction was whether she understood or not. After that, she slowly approached me, her heart pulsing wildly. Then, she slowly crawled her hand to my neck where I froze……
“Sunsun ……”
She sniffed me with her nose as much as she could. When you are in such close contact, various parts of your body come in contact with Yamanashi’s body. The large chest area in particular is in close contact with Yamanashi’s breasts, and it shakes my rationale violently.
In addition, the sweet smell of Yamanashi shakes my reason, and I am in a very dangerous state. My reason is in danger before I can even question whether I can judge by smell. My reason, which was cornered, wanted a quick break from the situation.
“…… Um, Yamanashi?”
“this smell …… antiperspirant, ASM’s floral series, not what Sendo-kun usually uses ……?”
“……This position is quite, I mean, quite embarrassing in many ways?”
“……Who did you go with?”
“I told you, a friend. That’s why I borrowed some antiperspirant from him. Doesn’t this make sense to you?”
“……, well, I’ll just leave it at that. We’ll find out later.”
I quickly removed my hand and Yamanashi moved away from me. I’m glad that my rationality didn’t collapse, which would have been unthinkable.
Yamanashi stared at me for a few seconds, not satisfied with the situation. I nodded my head, and Yamanashi opened her hands.
“Give me a hug.”
“Haa? You just did. You’re not satisfied after all?”
“I’m not satisfied with the way you hugged me. Just do it.”
At this point, I didn’t want her to struggle. I reluctantly held Yamanashi in my arms. The sweet aroma of her fragrance and the warmth coming through her skin warmed me once again.
“… don’t leave me, please.”
In an infinitesimally quiet voice, Yamanashi murmured. At that time, I sensed a weakness that I could not feel from her who usually acts stout-heartedly. Her voice was somber, filled with anxiety and regret. I had an idea of what was at the root of it.
“….I know you’ll follow me even if I try to leave you. I can’t leave for the time being unless you give up.”
“…I won’t give up. I’ll always keep searching for Sendou-kun. No matter what happens to you.”
Those words were so grave that it was a waste for me, and I started to worry about my future.
After I hugged her for about ten seconds, she slipped out of my arms. She put on a mask and sunglasses again, hiding her expression.
“I’d better get back to work. Thanks for the warm hug. I’ve got three more days to get it done.”
“Be careful. If they find out you’ve been coming here, I’ll be in trouble.”
“Yeah. I want a big kiss when I get back. Bye.”
Yamanashi waved her hand lightly as she left. It seems that I managed to get through the day.
In the living room alone, I plopped down on the sofa. Without taking off my school uniform, I looked up at the ceiling.
I was now under a fierce appeal from Yamanashi, and today, Hoshirobe told me that she likes me. I was trapped in a very strange situation. I’m just trying to live one day at a time.
I’m happy that my days are not as empty as they were then, but it’s only a matter of time before my body reaches its limits. I have to do something. ……
I tried to get up, but fatigue stuck me to the couch. I let go of my fading consciousness, and I departed to the world of dreams.
