“Chifuyu, I got an interview for a part-time job today.”
Last night, we melted into mush and ended up laying on top of each other’s skin until late at night.
Even after I woke up the next morning, I never woke up from that pleasant dream.
Even after I went to school.
I was still in the dream.
However, I finally woke up when I remembered Madoka san’s words and applied for a few part-time jobs during my break.
The one that returned my call was a nearby supermarket.
Although it was only for a few hours in the evening or at night, it seemed like I could get in right away, so I requested an interview right away.
When I talked to my parents about my situation with Chifuyu, they told me to save money first, so I took the first step to save enough money to move in quickly and move in with them.
So, I took the first step to save up enough money to move in together as soon as possible.
“Yeah, that’s great. Um, Where is it?”
“At the supermarket I always go to. It is difficult to say that there are no women there, but it is full of housewives, so there are no people of my age.”
“…… Toma kun, you like older people, don’t you?”
” Anyone as far apart as parent and child is indeed….not that, everyone is the same but Chifuyu.”
“Yes. Then I’ll go shopping every day. I’m going to see Toma-kun’s work.”
“Well. After working, I’m going to have dinner prepared by Chifuyu, which is a luxury.”
“Just dinner?”
“Together with chifuyu is the best”
“Yeah. I love you…….”
Chifuyu is also trying to be patient in her own way.
I can’t be with her 24/7.
That’s why we have time to be apart, but that’s what we need to do to be together forever.
I also want to be with Chifuyu, who is trying her best to understand me.
I have to do my best in today’s interview.
◇
“Toma kun, I’m here to pick you up.”
It has become a regular occurrence for Chifuyu to come to my class after school.
the people who were biting and nagged at me stopped saying anything at all.
After leaving the classroom with Chifuyu, I headed straight to the supermarket today.
“I think the interview will be over soon, but do you want to go home first?”
“No, I want to wait. No?”
“If Chifuyu is fine, fine. Then, do you want to go shopping in the meantime?”
“Yes.”
When I arrived at the usual supermarket, I first went to the office in the back.
Chifuyu looks at me on the other side of the door with a sad look on her face.
When I told her I’d be right back, she said ‘I’ll be waiting for you while do some shopping’
My heart ached a little when I saw Chifuyu saying this to me as if she was trying to squeeze me.
When I entered the office, a large woman was waiting for me.
She was sitting there in a jersey with a permed hair that made her look like an old lady.
“Ara, are you him?”
“Y-Yes. My name is Sagara. Nice to meet you.”
“Yes, you’re hired.”
“……?”
“No, we’re short on staff. You can come in as much as you want, so please. Ah, I’m Tanaka, the manager here. nice to meet you”
“Y-Yes”
I was hired so quickly that it was more of a surprise than a relief.
Well, whatever the reason, I was relieved that I got the job, and the interview ended when I exchanged lines with Tanaka san.
It seems that shifts and detailed explanations are exchanged on line.
“Then, excuse me”
I leave the office immediately.
I opened the door in a hurry, thinking that Chifuyu would be waiting for me,
“Toma-kun!”
Chifuyu was standing in front of me.
“Ah, Chifuyu? Have you been shopping?”
“Not yet. Toma kun, I was waiting for you.”
“You could have just hung around.”
“No, I prefer to go shopping with Toma-kun.”
I guess she was lonely.
She came to my side looking like she was about to cry and immediately held my hand.
Then, looking down, she said, ‘I’m sorry, troubling you’
“I’m not bothered. But from now on, I’ll only ask you to put up with me when I work part-time, but will you wait for me at home?”
“Yes. I’ll clean up and do some other things so that we can move in right away.”
When we were together, Chifuyu’s expression was cheerful.
Even when we were shopping, she seemed to be having fun, laughing sometimes.
I can clearly see that she would be no good without me.
I can’t do without Chifuyu either.
I want to be with her all the time.
I got a part-time job, but I don’t even want to go.
I know in my head that it’s a bad idea.
◇
“Toma kun, dinner is ready.”
I’m getting used to living together with her.
Chifuyu makes delicious meals every morning and night, and I’m a bit overweight.
But when I was worried about my flabby stomach, she said, “Toma kun, you’re cute even when you’re fat, so it’s okay. I love it,” she said, touching my stomach as if she was licking it.
Then she rubbed her own stomach and said, “Today is a lucky day, you know?” She then rubs her stomach and invites me to join her.
But at least I’m putting on what I’m supposed to to.
I stubbornly follow Madoka san’s advice.
Maybe it’s easier to give in to desire without thinking about the consequences.
Someone told me that’s not the way to go, and I want to heed that advice.
Chifuyu always looks disappointed.
If something were to happen to us while we are still in high school, we would not be able to be together anymore.
When I tell her that, she always understands in the end.
“Yes, it’s delicious. Chifuyu, today is my first day of part-time work, but it’s only for three hours. Can you wait?”
“I’ll do my best…… I’ll call Madoka all the time and wait.”
“Hahaha, Madoka san will be in trouble if you trouble her too much.”
“Are you worried about Madoka, Toma kun?”
“N-No, that’s not it.”
“I’m lonely …… and I’m not sure if I can wait properly.”
“Yes,……, don’t worry, I’ll be back as soon as I’m done.”
“I’ll be waiting for you. I’ll do my best.”
Shifts are Monday and Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
Each is only three hours long.
The first step is for Chifuyu to get used to my absence.
But, I need to earn and save up some money.
Then I can live with Chifuyu without sneaking around.
“Well, I’m off.”
“Can’t I see you off?”
“I’d like you to do that, but you’ll be alone on the way home. I’m worried about that.”
“……Yeah, okay.”
She continued to wave at me until the moment she closed the front door.
The front door closes and Chifuyu is out of sight, I also clench my leaves and leave the apartment.
It never occurred to me that it would be so heartbreaking to leave your sad-looking girlfriend behind to go to work.
I can’t wait to get home and hug her.
Thinking only of what I would do after work, which hadn’t even started yet, I struggled to keep my heavy feet in front of me as I headed for the supermarket.
