It’s Sunday, and I’ve been spending the morning rumbling around with sore muscles.
The cause is, well, yesterday’s exercise.
“I should not do something I’m not used to doing…”
I’m sure Kokoa will get me some soreness relief, so I’m going to spend the rest of the day doing whatever I can until then.
After a while of lounging around like that, Kokoa came to see me.
For some reason, another girl I knew was with her.
“Why is Nagisa with you, Kokoa?”
“She was hanging around in front of the apartment, so I brought her here before things got troublesome.”
“I see.”
She’s holding a souvenir bag from the department store basement in her hand.
“Oh, um, how are you today?”
“Huh?”
“Nii san, I think it’s about what you said the other day about coming back to apologize.”
“Did I say that?”
I just ignored it.
She doesn’t need to come.
“By the way, Nagisa, why are you looking at that fancy diary?”
“I’m very sorry about this.”
“Here’s a note for you, Nii san.”
“An apology?”
I’ll remember it.
“E-erm, I talked to a friend of mine in class 5, and she wrote me a note telling me not to say anything.”
“The way Nagisa is treated is becoming more widespread.”
“Here’s a little something for you”
“Okay, Hanashiro san. Here, Nii san, it’s a hampers.”
“A New Year’s gift?”
“There’s no sign of anything being mixed in.”
“I guess it’s hard to do that with hampers.”
You chose something I’d be more likely to accept.
“Well, to prevent this from happening in the future…”
“It’s time to reflect on your actions, Nagisa san.”
“You should write your name in furigana…”
“Got it, I’m gonna work hard for the future.”
“This woman is so sly and annoying.”
“You’re absolutely right, Nii san.”
She’s a clever one.
“Ahaha.”
“What are you laughing at?”
“Fwueeh….”
“Don’t cry.”
“You’re a hard person to deal with….”
This woman looks small and has the fighting strength of a preschooler.
Crying in front of me usually makes me look bad, and in fact I’ve been misunderstood a few times.
Well, now that I think about it, I realize that the other girls were using that to get at me.
“….I don’t want you to cry at the door, Hanashiro san.”
“Whew…”
“This woman is an airhead.”
“I’m sorry to bother you. Uh, I’d like a cold drink.”
“So brazen.”
“I only have iced coffee.”
“Oh, well, I don’t mind.”
“I don’t get her…”
“Do you want sugar, Hanashiro san?”
“No thank you.”
She drinks her coffee black.
“Here you go.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“That’s my line.”
“I-I was so nervous…”
“….Well, take your time.”
“Uh… uh…”
“You sounded really upset. Are you okay?”
“I think the coffee tastes bitter.”
“You look like a sneezing Chihuahua…”
“Uh-uh, uh-uh…”
“Hanashiro san? You shouldn’t drink it by yourself.”
“It’s delicious.”
“You son of a bitch.”
“No, Nii san, don’t lose your temper.”
“Sorry, Kokoa, let me pet your head for a second.”
“Go ahead.”
“Haa….I’m calm now.”
Let’s just get the conversation going quickly and let her go home.
“Hey, Nagisa, cut to the chase.”
“You’re being too hasty, Nii san.”
“U-um, I’m here to apologize. I’m sorry I was so mean to you.”
“…..I’ve told you several times, it’s over. Even if you apologized, the time for me to forgive you or not has long passed.”
“Yeah, I know. That’s why I’m gonna do everything I can from now on.”
“…Well, Mei and you have come to an agreement. I’m fine with that.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
“Don’t ever screw around with me again.”
“Yeah, I won’t.”
“Okay, that’s the end of the story.”
Nagisa is at fault too, but in the end she was just being used.
I’m not that angry anymore, to be honest.
–Ding-dong.
“What’s up, another visitor? That’s unusual.”
“Are they trying to sell me an optical fiber line? I’ll have a look at the security monitor—-Nii san, come here quick ! !”
“What is it, Kokoa !? What’s wrong !?”
The monitor that Kokoa points to shows the entranceway, but there’s a woman there who looks familiar…!?
“…H-how the hell does she know this apartment !?”
“I’m sorry, maybe Kokoa was followed…”
Our mother, or rather ex-mother.
What the hell is she doing here now…! !
