“It’s about time they came.”
I muttered to myself after buying drinks and other things at a nearby convenience store on Saturday afternoon.
I was preparing for Kaoru and Kirara to come over to my house for a study session at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon.
“And even so, when’s the last time I had a study session……?”
I’ve had one in a previous life, but it was when I was in elementary school or at that level.
After I lost my parents, I retreated into my own shell for a while and stopped making friends.
And even after I became a college student, I guess I still had some of those feelings…….I couldn’t find anyone that I could truly love or trust from the bottom of my heart.
“If you think about it that way, it might be a little strange.”
After coming to this world and meeting Kaoru, I came to be able to trust her as if that was a lie, and I was able to say that I liked her from the bottom of my heart.
I knew about Kaoru from the game, that may be a big part of it……but it means that Kaoru was such a wonderful woman.
“Well, I’d like to continue to have a wonderful time with Kaoru, regardless of my previous life or anything else.”
I still don’t understand the meaning or reason why I was reincarnated into this world, and I don’t think I’ll ever find out.
But there’s no end to worrying about that.
I’m with Kaoru because I want to be with her.
I’m with her because I love her…..and that’s all that matters.
I was waiting for Kaoru and Kirara to come while thinking that.
◆
–Then time passed and the chime rang.
(Ding dong)
“I wonder if they’re here.”
I heard the sound and decided to go to the front door.
When I opened the door, Kaoru and Kirara were there.
“Welcome, Kaoru, Kirara !”
“Hello, Kaito kun !”
“Kaito kun, hello…..and thank you for letting me join you.”
Kirara said a little apologetically.
She probably already knows that Kaoru and I are dating, so she’s probably wondering if she’s in the way or something.
Of course neither Kaoru nor I think that at all, but with Kirara’s personality, I guess we can’t blame her for thinking that way.
“Yeah. At any rate, you two can come inside the house.”
“I guess so. Sorry to bother you.”
“Sorry to bother you.”
I led them to my room.
Would it be better if it’s not my room, since Kirara is in here too? I thought so, but there is no room suitable for studying in this house except for my room.
The only rooms other than my room that are suitable for studying are a small gym-like room that I use for myself and a room with a dryer for drying clothes, and this room is the only room with a desk.
Well, since Ohgo Kaito lived alone and the only people he would invite to his house were women with whom he had only physical relations, there was no need for them……and there are a few rooms that are not used at all.
◆
–And so I was sitting in my room with the two of them.
“Kaito kun’s house is so big…..”
Kirara said as we sat in my room.
“I was also surprised too when I first saw it.”
“Well, maybe you’re right.”
I, or rather Ohgo Kaito, was rich and bought a big house, but from my point of view, a house this big is a bit inconvenient.
I thought about it before, but it’s hard to clean……
Well, it’s not a big house like a mansion, but it’s bigger than an average house.
“Wow, that’s amazing…..what kinda work do your parents do, Kaito kun?”
“Ah……”
Kaoru looked awkward when Kirara asked her that.
As for me, I don’t feel bad about being asked about my parents anymore, so she doesn’t have to worry about it.
Besides, Kirara herself has no ill intentions toward me at all.
“Actually, I don’t have any parents or family.”
“Eh…..that means……I-I’m sorry…….”
When I said that, Kirara bowed her head apologetically.
“No, it’s fine, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“Y-yeah…….”
Still, she thought she said something unnecessary, and since Kirara was depressed, I was wondering what I should do……so I looked at Kaoru, and our eyes met, and Kaoru said.
“Then, Kirara chan. Shall we study together?”
“I think so. Since we took the time to gather together, let’s study right away.”
“I guess so…….”
And so the study session began.
-Thirty minutes later, me and Kaoru were going on as usual as if nothing had happened, so Kirara should be back to normal.
“Yes, yes ! That’s how you do it.”
“I see ! Thank you, Kaor chan ! That’s awfully easy to understand !
Now, Kaoru is teaching Kirara, with Kaoru sitting next to me and Kirara sitting next to her.
From what I’m seeing, it looks like Kirara really doesn’t know how to solve the problem……I say she doesn’t know, it’s just that she hasn’t been able to study because of things at home, but her memory itself is pretty good.
I think she’ll be a lot better if she studies properly.
I had seen Kaoru and Kirara getting along well from afar, but seeing them up close, I could tell that they were really close, and it was starting to make me smile a little.
Just like in the game, they probably get along great…..and I wonder if Hitomi, who is not here now, will eventually get along great with these two.
Of course it was so in the game, so it will be so in this world ! I can’t say that, though.
As I was thinking that and looking at Kaoru and the others, Kaoru came next to me, perhaps thinking something.
“Kaito kun ! Teach me this part !”
Then she showed me a difficult applied math problem.
“Okay. Here, do this and…….”
Then I showed Kaoru how to solve the problem.
“I see….wow, Kaito kun, that’s amazing……”
“No, that’s not true, but if there is anything else you don’t understand, I’ll teach you. If you do the same thing for the next problem, you’ll be able to do it, so give it a try.”
“I see ! I’ll give it a try.”
Kaoru was working on the problem, but Kaoru glanced at Kirara, so I looked at her too, and she was looking at her textbook with a difficult expression on her face.
Kaoru probably couldn’t tell because she was also concentrating.
At that time, Kaoru said to me in a small voice.
“Kaito kun…..can you teach Kirara if you don’t mind? Actually I would like to teach her, but right now I want to understand this problem properly…….”
“That’s totally fine.”
“Thanks. Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yeah.”
I went next to Kirara after that conversation.
“Are you okay? Kirara.”
“Eh, ah ! Yeah, I’m fine. There’s a part I don’t understand…..”
“I see. Then I’ll teach you if it’s okay with you. Kaoru is also concentrating on her own studies. Since we’re having a study session, the three of us.”
“Are you sure? Kaoru told me that Kaito kun is smart, but……”
“Of course, I could teach you. I helped Kaoru earlier.”
“I see. Then I’ll ask you to do it.”
–A while later
I taught Kirara a few problems.
“You’re amazing……Kaoru chan was the same, but Kaito kun’s teaching is also very easy to understand.”
“I see. I’m glad to hear that.”
“No ! Thank you, Kaito kun !”
“Yeah.”
As we were having this conversation, it seemed that Kaoru had also just finished solving the problem.
“I’m done too…….”
Kaoru said with a tired look on her face.
“Good work, Kaoru.”
“Yeah. I’m really glad that Kaito kun was here. It would’ve taken much longer if it was just me.”
“I’m glad I was able to help Kaoru.”
I returned next to Kaoru and as I said that, she tried to hug me.
“Yeah. Thank you, Kaito kun…ah…”
Just before she was about to hug me, she stopped when she looked at Kirara.
“Erm…..you don’t have to worry about me, okay?”
“……I just got into the habit……”
“Habit…….”
Kaoru’s face turned red when she heard Kirara’s voice after she said that.
She must have been trying to make excuses, but because of the way she said it, she must have felt it had the opposite effect.
“I-it’s not….that’s, um…….”
Kaoru was too flustered, so I said.
“Kaoru. You need to calm down.”
“Y-you’re right……”
Then Kaoru took a deep breath to calm down.
