Since I woke up early, I should make a hearty breakfast.
I’m sure my sister Hiyori will wake up soon.
“Ryoma, I’ll help you.”
“Tsumugi, are you a good cook? I don’t really that image of Tsumugi.”
“Muuu. I’m not the same as when we were playing make-believe.”
So I decided to ask Tsumugi to help me with some of the breakfast.
The way she handled it, I could feel the years that had passed since I had been away from Tsumugi.
When we were playing make-believe, she tried to feed me mud dumplings without question, and she fed Reo
Such Tsumugi dropped an egg into the frying pan and dexterously cooked an omelet.
Her glossy black hair that reached her back was tied up with an elastic band, and the way she skillfully used chopsticks was truly picturesque.
If Tsumugi had been next to me as a childhood friend, I wonder what kind of feelings I would have had for her.
“What’s wrong with your daze?”
“Nothing.”
But the reality is different.
Breakfast was ready, so I decided to do my usual routine.
I changed into my school uniform and went outside.
“Ryoma, where are you going without eating breakfast?”
“I’m going to wake up the neighbor”
“Yeah……, what a jerk.”
When it comes to that guy, Tsumugi is not very nice
So I headed to Reo’s house to wake up another childhood friend
“His House hasn’t changed either. Are his parents still the same?”
Tsumugi followed behind me.
“Yes. I hear they’re coming back to Japan in a few more years.”
“By then, we will all be working, right?”
All three of us had parents who worked hard and were very dedicated to their jobs.
Because our parents were away a lot of the time, Reo, Shishi, and I had a strong bond as childhood friends.
Eventually, Tsumugi had to move away due to a job transfer.
Reo lives alone in this big house because his parents are working abroad.
In his spare time, he comes through the roof to my room, and since he has recently found a girlfriend, he keeps her at home with him.
Thanks to this, the number of times Reo eats dinner at my house has drastically decreased. I guess he has his beloved girlfriend make it for him.
I enter the house with a duplicate key and head upstairs to Reo’s room.
Without question, I open the door to find the lioness asleep in her bed.
“He plays basketball huh. How is it that the small Reo becomes the tallest?”
Unlike me, who joined the club because he played, he genuinely liked basketball.
He’s been playing little since elementary school. He also admired the American NBA, and his room was filled with posters and DVDs.
But well, the room is too clean. This is Otsuki-san cleaning it. He really found the perfect girlfriend
“You sleep so well~. I see you are still sleeping”
“That hasn’t really changed. He never wakes up at all.”
“It’s because Ryoma spoils him, isn’t it? You have to be more strict.”
“I don’t think he can do it anymore. He has found a lover who spoils him more.”
I think Otsuki san is better than me when it comes to the degree of pampering.
She was also quite pampering towards Arisa. She was risking her life for her.
“It’s morning. Food’s ready, let’s get up.”
“Hmmm… a little more.”
“Tsumugi helped me. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”
“Mmm, I’ll get him up if you give me a kiss.”
“I’ll beat you.”
“Wow……., you’re so boring.”
When I told her it was no use, she really wanted to kiss me, so I had to be on my guard.
Reo yawns and gets up.
“Ryoma good morning”
“Good morning, Reo.”
“Wait Is Tsumugi here too?”
“Would it be bad if I was here? Well, Ryoma is closer to me than Reo. We were in the same bed yesterday too.”
“Tsumugi, don’t say unnecessary things.”
She intercepted the message immediately. Do not give information to Reo. He will immediately spread the word to his girlfriend and the circle will widen from there.
Just then, his phone rings with an incoming call.
He picks up his phone and presses it.
“Good morning, Shizuku.”
“Good morning, Reo kun. I see you’re awake today”
It must be on speaker mode. From the phone comes the voice of Otsuki-san, his girlfriend.
“Yeah Ryoma came to wake me up. I’ll be right there.”
“Hmmm, Kogure-kun, huh?”
“‘You seem to have something to say.”
“Can you please stop pretending to be Reo-kun’s boyfriend?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Fufu, I’m only joking, about 20%.”
It seems that 80% is true. But I can understand Otsuki-san’s feelings a little.
I can understand how a pampered woman might feel that her role as a wake-up caller is being taken away from her every day.
“Shizuku chan! Good mornign! It’s Hiiragi Tsumugi!”
“Hiiragi-san! Oh, I see. You live together with Kogure-kun.”
“Watch it!”
“Yeah, today too, with Ryoma in the morning.”
“I won’t let you say it!”
“……. I’ll ask you to tell me the details with Arisa.”
“Why Arisa?”
I feel like every day is somehow inconvenient for me.
“Hiiragi-san is in Reo-kun’s room now, isn’t she?”
“Yes. Ah, don’t worry, I have no interest in Reo! I just want to be by Ryoma’s side.”
“Hmm, I’m not worried about that, but I think I’m more worried about being by Kogure-kun’s side.”
Unable to understand what Otsuki-san was saying, Tsumugi and I tilted our heads at each other.
Well, there’s no need to dig deeper.
“Then I’ll wake up this child. See you later, Reo-kun.”
“Ou. I’ll see you later. At school.”
The call ended there.
Otsuki-san was probably going to wake up Arisa. She said she wakes her up every day.
“I wish Shizuku would wake me up directly.”
Reo muttered in a whisper,
“Ah! It’s not that I don’t like Ryoma waking me up. In fact, I love it!”
“To be honest, I don’t really need the first part.”
“Why don’t you ask Shizuku chan to come and wake you up? But it’s a lot of work to get here.”
There was no way that woman would not take that option.
Otsuki san is the kind of girl who would get up at four in the morning to take care of her boyfriend if she had to wake him up.
One reason. It’s because Arisa cried really hard and decided to ban it.
I can’t wake up in the morning without Shizuku waking me up directly! She said.
Therefore, Otsuki-san couldn’t leave Arisa alone and only called Reo to give him a wake-up call.
“I’m going to make friends with Arisa chan and Shizuku chan today!”
Tsumugi is eager to make friends of the same gender.
She seems to be looking at Arisa with envy. Last night, she asked me a lot of questions about Alisa.
I asked her why and she just said she wanted to be friends with a beautiful girl.
It wasn’t the image I had of Tsumugi, but I guess people change after ……10 years.
“I wonder if they’ll accept me if I tell them about Ryoma and Reo ten years ago!”
“Don’t do that, really.”
“Damn ……, this woman is still the same as ever.”
But there are some things that remain the same. The things that upset us haven’t changed at all.
