“I’m home.”
I said when I came home, and my mom greeted me.
“Welcome home, Kei.”
“Mom, I’m back. Did you come home early from work today?”
“Yeah. I finished my work for the time being.”
“I see. Good work.”
“Oh, yeah, Kei? There’s a guest today, so be nice to her, okay?”
“Eh? A guest?”
I haven’t heard anything about it, but is it someone from my mom’s company?
No……if that’s the case, there was no way she would tell me to be nice.
“You don’t have to think about it too much. You’ll understand once you meet her.”
“Well, that’s true.”
–And so I came to the living room.
“Eh !? Yui??”
“Erm. I’m sorry to disturb you, Kei kun.”
I couldn’t imagine that Yui was there, so I was naturally surprised.
And then Yui came to me a little embarrassed.
Why is Yui here?
I decided to take my mom out of the living room and ask her why.
“Mom? What the hell is going on?”
“She called out to me on my way home from work, so I brought her in.
Mom said in a playful tone.
“No, I mean……please explain it to me……..”
“I’m just kidding. But isn’t that the girl Kei rescued? That’s why I wanted to talk to her properly.”
Come to think of it, I guess it was just a brief explanation?
I didn’t even tell Yui her name.
“So she approached you and you brought her here?”
“Yes ! But I explained everything to Yui chan’s mother, so she’ll be fine.”
I’m not worried about that.
In general, both my mom and Yui are very responsible people.
“Well, that’s fine…from now on, please contact me properly, okay? I was really surprised to find my friends there when I got home.”
And I just told my mom that there are three beautiful people, and I’m pretty surprised to see one of them in the house.
“I’m sorry about that. I just wanted to surprise you…and that girl is the one Kei mentioned before, right?”
The girl I mentioned………I guess what I said was that the one I’m interested in.
Well, I told my mom that there were only three people I could call my friends, and she would probably find out.
I’m not that embarrassed if it was my mom, so it’s okay.
“Well, there’s no reason to hide it.”
“I see. Yeah ! I’m relieved to hear that she’s a very nice girl……I was a little worried because it’s the first time Kei has ever talked about the girl he likes. On the contrary, you didn’t seem interested in girls.”
Certainly, if I recall, I never talked to my mom about that kind of thing.
On the contrary, before I was reincarnated, it was certainly true that Shindo Kei was not interested in girls…..or, to be more precise, it’s not that he wasn’t interested, but that there was no one he could consider more than a friend, I guess? Of course, it’s not that I was romantically interested in boys.
In fact, when my mom asked me if I liked someone, I always seemed to give the impression that I didn’t care about girls and let it slide.
“That’s true…the other two are also really good kids, so don’t worry about that.”
“I see. After meeting Yui chan, I can feel at ease as well. Well then, Yui chan must be waiting, so let’s have dinner.”
“Yeah.”
After that conversation, my mom and I went back to the living room where Yui was waiting for us.
◇
“Thank you for waiting, Yui chan♪ I was talking to Kei for a while.”
“Yes ! It’s all right.”
Yui looked at me after saying that to my mom.
“Erm…..well, I was surprised at the suddenness of it, but my mom’s cooking is delicious, so go ahead and enjoy yourself, Yui.”
“Yeah ! I will, Kei kun !”
I sat down next to Yui, although I couldn’t help but feel a little awkward with my mom smiling at our conversation.
–I sat down next to Yui and the three of us finished eating our meal and were chatting.
“Oh, I didn’t know that.”
“Yes ! I asked him to be my friend !”
Now we are talking about how Yui and I became friends.
“Anyway, thank you so much for helping him study, Yui chan.”
“No, it’s fine. I’m the one who insisted !”
“Still, Kei wasn’t the type to study that hard, and this was the first time he’d gotten such a high score.”
“Is that so? He was studying very seriously, and he remembered things so quickly that I couldn’t even remember.”
“Well, Kei had always had a good memory. He could do it if he had the motivation.”
“So Kei kun was like that. That’s surprising.”
“That’s right. That’s why I was surprised to hear that Kei is studying properly.”
Well, before my reincarnation, Shindo Kei certainly didn’t study properly……
It’s amazing that he was still getting a certain amount of marks, though.
Aren’t those two getting along too well?
The topic of conversation is always about me, so it’s a little difficult to butt in…..but I’m happy for the two of them to get along, so I don’t mind.
◇
–It was getting late and it was almost time for Yui to go home.
“Thank you ! The food was delicious !”
“I see♪ Thank you. You can come back anytime you want…..but I have to go on a business trip again in a little while, so I won’t be here.”
“Yes ! I’ll do that ! And I’ll come back even if Marina san’s not here !”
No…if my mom wasn’t here, it would be just me and her…I thought that, but I also knew she was joking, so I ignored it.
“Well then, Kei? Are you sure you’re gonna take her home?”
“Of course I will. Besides, it’s not too far from here.”
“Well, I see. See you later, Yui chan.”
“Yes ! Thank you for your time.”
And so we went outside.
“Thank you for today, Kei kun ! I’m sorry for coming so suddenly.”
No. It’s okay,…..I was surprised, but I had a lot of fun, and my mom seemed to be having fun too.”
“Really? That’s great. I had a lot of fun too. Also, Marina san was really kind and I fell in love with her too.”
“Hahaha, I see. I’m glad to hear that.”
After that, we walked and chatted until we arrived at Yui’s house.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Yui. I had a really good time today. And thank you for taking care of my mom’s urgent request.”
“Yeah. I also had a lot of fun, and I’m glad that Marina san and I were able to get to know each other so well. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Then, when I turned my back to Yui to go home…
“Hey, Kei kun !”
“Hm?”
When Yui stopped me and I turned around, at that moment… I felt a soft touch on my lips.
For a few seconds……it wasn’t a long time, but I was being kissed by Yui, who was standing as tall as she could.
The kiss was just a brush of the lips, but I was very nervous.
“I-I’ll see you tomorrow then…….”
Yui turned away from me, turned red, looked away, and said that.
“Y-yeah…….see you tomorrow.”
I said that and Yui hurriedly went into the house.
A few seconds later, I decided to leave as well, but I noticed that my face was also getting warmer.
