“Um, what kind of… situation is this?”
It’s heaven. Or paradise.
“Hey, senpai. Can you tell me what happened?”
In my peripheral vision, I can see the large TV in the living room. My back, or rather, my shoulders and below, are sunk into the sofa.
Yeah, that’s right. If I had to describe my current state in one word, it would be…
…a knee lap
Dinner. After finishing Shiramine’s homemade omelet rice, we sat side by side on the sofa and talked about what happened after school today.
“Senpai. Can you lie down for a bit?”
“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“It’s okay. Come on.”
The current situation came about half by force.
Of course, it wasn’t unpleasant. A knee lap from a beautiful girl is an experience I might never get again in my life.
I should be grateful, and there’s no way I could refuse.
Still, I can’t deny that it’s a bit embarrassing.
“How is it? Comfortable? Or are you getting excited?”
Ah, she’s probably laughing happily right now. Little devil.
“Well, it’s okay.”
That’s not what I really think. If I respond with something like, “Yeah, it’s awesome,” that would be exactly what the little devil wants.
She’ll definitely tease me about it.
“Huh, you’re surprisingly okay with it, aren’t you, senpai?”
“Well, anyway, shall we watch a movie or something?”
There should be a new release on the subscription service.
“Sounds good. …But first, let’s talk.”
Ugh. I can’t dodge it.
“What is it that you don’t want to talk about?”
“Umm, I don’t know…”
It’s not that I didn’t think anything of it.
But.
“To be honest, I’m surprised at myself for being annoyed.”
I can ignore words that don’t matter. I don’t feel anything.
Yet, at that moment…
“Maybe I’m still clinging to soccer…”
That’s all I could do. So even now, when I can’t do the one thing I was good at, I still feel like it’s a part of me.
“…Senpai. Maybe we should skip the movie after all.”
Shiramine gently stroked my head. Her quiet, calm voice fell upon me.
“Senpai, you’re an amazing person. More than enough.”
“…No, I’m not that great.”
“Muu, what do you mean by ‘not that great’? All you need to do right now is let me heal you.”
When I looked up at her out of the corner of my eye, Shiramine puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and poked my cheek.
It was ticklish. Or rather, it was embarrassing.
At the same time, I wondered.
“Why are you doing so much for me, Shiramine-san?”
I haven’t done anything for Shiramine-san.
“Well, why do you think?”
Shiramine laughed softly and teased me.
“…I’m sorry.”
I don’t understand. Instead of answering, I looked away.
“You’re so insensitive… But if you understand, will you grant me one request?”
“Huh?”
I was surprised. Shiramine suddenly bowed her head and whispered in my ear.
“…Okay. Definitely.”
“Thank you.”
Shiramine started stroking my head again. Gently, following the flow of my hair.
“Actually, Shiramine-san. What was the message from Nishimiya?”
“Um… well…”
Ah. I understood from her reaction. It must be something quite troublesome.
“That person… is really pushing me to get closer to her…”
Shiramine picked up her smartphone, which was lying next to her, and opened the messaging app.
“Oh, oh.”
There were already more than a dozen messages in Nishimiya’s newly added column.
Well, Nishimiya looked like she had found an angel when Shiramine reached out to her…
“Shiramine-san. If you don’t like it, should I tell her?”
“No, it’s not that serious. It’s just that I don’t know Nishimiya-senpai very well…”
Shiramine didn’t seem to dislike Nishimiya, but rather didn’t know how to treat her.
“Why don’t you talk to her again? Nishimiya isn’t a bad person.”
She’s a little strange, though.
I finally lifted my head from Shiramine’s lap. I was reluctant to do so.
Then, my smartphone beeped with a notification.
The sender was…
“Why does Nishimiya know my Line ID…?”
As if on cue, it was from Nishimiya Aira
“This is Nishimiya. I got your contact information from your sister.”
That first message answered my question.
…That sister of mine, she’s not only exchanging contact information with Shiramine, but with Nishimiya as well. Even so, why would she give out my information without my permission? What is she thinking?
“What is it?”
I replied. Then, in the blink of an eye.
“How do I delete a message?”
Oh, yeah. I hope it’s not what I think it is…
“…I hope it’s not what I think it is, but is it about the Line message you sent to Shiramine?”
The notifications stopped coming. Instead.
“Uwaa! I have a call!”
“What’s wrong?”
Shiramine looked surprised as I dropped my smartphone in shock.
It was like a horror movie I had seen before. This development.
“Aren’t you going to answer the phone?”
“I’ll answer it. Yes…”
There’s no need to guess who it is…
“Hello?”
“You! How did you know about that!?”
Her voice is so loud… My ears are ringing.
“Well, since she is right next to me, Shiramine san…”
It sounds like I’m the guy who stole someone else’s girlfriend. Yeah, I feel a little guilty as a friend.
“No way…”
Why are you so upset? Sorry, but I’m the one who introduced you to Shiramine… No, that sounds like a cheating boyfriend too.
“Senpai, can I take over?”
“Okay.”
I quietly handed my smartphone to Shiramine.
“Nishimiya-senpai, right? Thank you for your message. If you’re free tomorrow, would you like to go shopping with me?”
!!!! What’s going on?
Sure, tomorrow is the school’s anniversary and we have the day off, but…
Ignoring my confusion, Shiramine smiles.
“You’re coming too, right, senpai?”
