What happened yesterday with Mai – her threats – is still one of my concerns.
But now that I know what she wants, there are steps I can take.
Mai’s goal is money after all.
Besides, it is probably too late to be wary of being alone with her now.
Mai already had the material to blackmail me yesterday.
After some hesitation, I said, “I understand ……,” and shook my head.
At that moment, I didn’t miss the suspicious smile on Mai’s face.
……I won’t make the same mistake I made yesterday.
I entered Mai’s house with a strong …… feeling.
Guided by Mai, I was led into the living room of the house.
The moment I entered, my eyes were drawn to the large window spread out in front of me.
The city where I live was spread out in front of my eyes.
It is a suburban town in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and there is nothing particularly noteworthy about it.
So, under normal circumstances, the scenery should be nothing special.
However, looking down from such a high floor, even the scenery seemed somehow special.
At least, I felt somewhat uplifted when I saw it.
It is often said that stupidity and smoking like heights, …… but maybe I am also simpler than I thought.
I laughed at myself, feeling confused by the elation that suddenly rose in my chest.
And Mai glanced at me,
“Yui…… you were okay with the heights, right? How’s this view?”
I said.
I thought that Mai was somehow watching my face.
“Eh…..Ah….I think …… it’s a good view ……..”
I murmured quietly.
The truth is, I was quite excited about the view in front of me.
But, not wanting to look like an idiot, I pretended to be unconcerned.
But the shrewd Mai may have seen right through my bravado.
Mai smiled with a big smile on her face,
“Well, then I’m glad. I’m glad I chose this apartment.”
she said
Mai looked strangely happy to see my reaction.
Mai ……
I don’t know if she wanted to show it off to me that badly.
She’s been trying to show her my celebrity life …….
In fact, I’ve fallen completely for Mai’s plan.
Ever since I stepped into this apartment, I’ve been simply overwhelmed by how different it is from my own life. ……
“Umm, …… what would you like to drink? We have coffee and tea though….”
“Eh, ……, I’ll have …… coffee then.”
“Yeah. Okay, I’ll get it for you. I’ll prepare it for you, just sit down and wait.”
After saying that, Mai went to the kitchen.
After a while, the fragrant smell of coffee tickles my nostrils.
Besides, I can somehow smell the good aroma from the room as well.
It’s a far cry from the indescribable smell of stale air emanating from my shabby apartment.
The eyes and nose …… were stimulated by all of my sensory organs, and before I knew it, I had forgotten that this was Mai’s house and was just feeling better.
Oh …… what did I come here for?
I look down in panic.
Wake up,……, wake up,…….
This is enemy territory.
D-damn …… no good …….
The atmosphere of the place is overwhelming, and I am completely caught up in the pace of Mai.
If this continues, it will be a repeat of yesterday.
I sat down at the dining room table for four in the living room and looked around to cool my head a little.
There is a minimal amount of furniture …… dining table, chairs, and furniture ……, but it didn’t feel very lived in.
The living room alone is quite large.
The living room alone is quite spacious for Mai to live alone.
And …… very clean.
When I was in elementary school, I went to Mai’s room many times.
But …… it wasn’t very tidy, even if it was complimentary.
Although Mai seems to have a methodical personality, she is surprisingly lacking in that aspect.
Well,…… it is not surprising that after three years Mai’s personality has changed,…….
……But I somehow feel uncomfortable with it.
I mean, this house ……does she really live alone?
One thing is bothering me.
Earlier,…… before I was shown into this living room,…… there was a room with the door half-open.
I couldn’t help but take a peek into that room.
