A week has passed since then, and nothing special has happened.
However, Kamiya was looking at me a lot, and it was a little annoying.
But that doesn’t matter now, I have a mid-term test in two weeks, but that’s no problem, a high school test should be easy if I study a little.
One week from now, one of the heroines, Nanase Haruka, who is still not involved in the story, will be in trouble.
Haruka is with a single mother, her father died when she was very young, and he was also a gambler who left her with a lot of debts.
A week from today will be 10 years since she borrowed the money, and the black market money people are coming to collect the money, but since it has been 10 years, the black market money people are serious about collecting the money.
In the game, the main character consults with her two childhood friends, borrows money from the principal and various other people, and manages to pay it back.
However, after that, everyone has to work part-time to pay back the borrowed money, and Haruka, who has always been more cautious than others, suffers from the constant feeling of being sorry to the three.
Because of this, Haruka quit the badminton club, remaining as her energetic self at all times.
I had nothing to do with Haruka, but I saw her playing badminton several times.
Because of this, I don’t want Haruka to feel that way, so I want to help her.
However, I can’t help her now that there is no value in the relationship.
“Haaa~ I don’t know what to do~”
I said and sighed deeply.
“Somehow I have to get Haruka to trust me within a week.”
Also, I said that nothing happened for a week, but if I say small changes, there were actually two things that happened.
The first is that I started practicing cooking. I had never cooked before in my life, but it was a good opportunity for me to start, and it was more fun than I thought it would be.
Secondly, although we hardly talk at school, I started to communicate with Ai every night on LIME, but it was just a light communication like talking with friends.
After school, I decided to leave school early and go shopping at the supermarket because I had no club activities today.
“Hmmm~ what should I try cooking today?”
As I was thinking about this while heading to the supermarket, I saw a beautiful woman in front of me walking unsteadily with her shopping bag swinging from side to side, obviously not feeling well.
I decided to go help her, even though I had never met her before, thinking that she looked familiar for some reason.
“Um, are you all right?”
“Y-yeah, I’m fine. I just got a little dizzy, that’s all.”
The woman said, but she didn’t look like that.
“I’ll lend you my shoulder if you want to take a break on the bench there?”
“W-well I’ll take your word for it.”
The woman was a little wary, but she said so.
“You just rest here for a minute, I’ll get you something to drink, would you like something to drink?”
“You don’t have to be concerned about me”
“No, I just want to do it myself, so you can count on me.”
“Well, I’ll have a cup of tea, then.”
“Yes!”
I was walking to the vending machine to get some tea when I had a thought that I couldn’t seem to remember.
She looked so familiar that I was sure I had seen her before.
“I bought you some tea.”
“Thank you. Speaking of which, what is your name?”
“My name is Sano Akuru.”
“Yes, Akuru kun, and you can call me Kaori.”
“Yes, I understand, Kaori san”
“I’m feeling better now, so I’m going home.”
“Yes, please take care of yourself.”
I said goodbye to her, but when I looked at her back, I saw that she was still walking unsteadily.
I was worried and followed her.
“Excuse me, Kaori-san, you look a little wobbly, and I’m a little worried about you, so please let me walk you home.”
“Yes, then may I ask you to walk me home?”
I was still pushing myself too hard and said so with a wry smile.
I decided to lend her my shoulder and walk her home.
“This is my house, thank you.”
“No, no, it’s fine.”
“After all the work you’ve done for me, I can’t bear to return you like this. If you don’t mind, would you like to have dinner with me?”
I was a little hesitant, but I had no reason to say no and I had some concerns about Kaori san, so I decided to take her up on her offer.
“Yes, by all means.”
With that said, I went over to her house.
Kaori san’s house was an old apartment.
“By the way, do you live alone?”
“I have a daughter, just about the same age as Akuru kun”
“Then, is it all right if I come over? Won’t your daughter be surprised?”
“Fufu, you’re very kind, Akuru kun, in my experience, most of the cool younger kids are disrespectful people.”
“No, it’s not like that, and I think it’s normal.”
“Fufu, that’s just the way it is♪ don’t worry about my daughter.”
After a conversation like that, a few minutes passed without anything in particular being said.
I heard the front door rang.
“Mother, I’m home”
“Ara, welcome home.”
I looked toward the front door and met eyes with her daughter.
We both looked at each other, because we both knew each other.
“Well~, you don’t happen to be Kaori-san’s daughter, do you?”
“Yes, this is my daughter Haruka.”
“Mother, why is Sano here!”
“Eh? You two know each other?”
“We are in the same class, not that we know each other, but come here, Mother.”
Haruka pulled Kaori san along with her.
“What’s the situation here, Mother?”
“You see~……”
She told her about what had happened today.
“Hmmm~, I see such a thing had happened.”
Haruka has been thinking a little bit about Akuru lately, Sara’s face turns a little red when she glances at him after he rescues her.
She heard that Ai sometimes goes home with him, and they even keep in touch with each other. And for Ai, it’s rare to see her turn her eyes away and fidget a little when she talks to him.
“But be careful, mother, he’s been with me since middle school, and I’ve heard nothing but bad things about him.”
“Fufu, I don’t think Akuru kun is that kind of a boy, and when I talked to him, I could tell that he was concerned about me without any ulterior motives.”
“W-well, if mother says so, it’s fine.”
“I’ll have Akuru kun eat dinner and go home tonight, so please be good to him.”
“Eh, wait, Mother! Why did you do that?”
“Fufufu. he’ll be in your care.”
“Mouuu~”
