My part-time job is over.
I fall into bed in my uniform and huff and puff.
Even though it is a weekday today, I have used a lot of energy because quite a few people have come in.
At any rate, I have finished what I had to do for the day, and I feel like taking a breather.
I haven’t eaten dinner yet, haven’t done the laundry yet, haven’t taken a bath yet.
But I don’t feel like doing anything right now, so I sink into bed for a while.
“Uheee”
I think I sounded a bit sloppy.
Well, no one is listening, so I don’t need to worry about it.
While I was moping around like this, the phone in my pocket vibrated with a whirr.
I looked to see what was going on and saw that I had received a text message from Iyoki-san.
“What is it?”
We had been connected since I bought this phone, but I had never sent her a text message.
‘Well, we are together almost every day.”
Yes
It’s not that we don’t see each other enough to bother to send mails.
In fact, I spend most of the day with Iyoki san.
If I have something to say to her, I can tell her at that time, so there is no need to send her a mail.
So, when I receive a mail like this, I feel nervous.
…..Well, it is rare to receive a mail from someone in the first place, so I get even more nervous.
I mysteriously make up my mind, “Okay,” and launch the app.
[Sae: What are you doing right now?]
I am relieved to receive a text message that is nothing.
In the back of my mind, I was thinking, “What if it’s something outrageous?
With an unaccustomed hand, I flick through the text and finally send the mail.
[Iriake: I am slogging. Too tired to do anything. ……]
The reply came back immediately.
[Sae: You had a hard day, didn’t you? Iriake-kun’s face was dead on the way home.]
“R-Really?”
I didn’t realize it myself.
I was kind of embarrassed.
[Iriake: Please forget about it.]
[Sae: Fufu, what should I do?]
[Iriaki: Please. I’m embarrassed.]
[Sae: I think it’s fine, you know? I don’t dislike it. In fact, I even like it.]
My hand stops on Iyoki-san’s mail.
“W-what do you mean you like ……”
Lately, I have a feeling that Iyoki-san seems to be saying “I like you” in response to everything.
No, maybe it’s just my imagination.
[Iriake: I don’t like it. By all means, please erase it from your brain.]
[Sae: I can’t help it, I will]
[Iriake: Thank you very much.]
It looks like the negotiation was successful.
Well, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Iyoki-san will really forget about it, but I’ll trust Iyoki-san there.
[Iriake: Speaking of which, what’s going on? It’s very unusual for you to send me a mail.]
Let’s get back to the main point.
It is very unusual for Iyoki-san to mail me, so something may have happened. ……
I let my imagination run wild before I got a reply from Iyoki-san, but what I got back was unexpected.
[Sae: No, I just wanted to talk to you. It’s not like I had any special business or anything.]
I hadn’t thought about that answer.
That’s just, because we had been together just a while ago, and we had talked a lot there.
[Iriake: I-I see.]
[Sae: Perhaps I’m annoying you?]
[Iriake: That’s not true! In fact, you’re welcome!]
[Sae: Really?]
[Iriaki: Really, really!]
[Sae: Then I’m glad!]
Watch out, watch out.
I was almost making Iyoki-san pay more attention to me.
This lack of interpersonal skills is something I need to work on from now on.
So, as it was, I and Iyoki-san exchanged mails.
The content of our conversation was the same as when we walk together.
Even so, it was refreshing to exchange mails, and it felt different from the usual.
[Sae: See you tomorrow. Good night.]
[Iriake: Good night.]
Finally, the exchange ended, and I glanced at my watch.
“It’s already that late.”
I had been so engrossed in sending mails that the time had passed faster than I had expected.
Dinner was not ready yet, so I decided to get moving.
I tossed my phone on the bed and headed for the kitchen with a heavy heart.
♦ ♦ ♦
I closed my cell phone screen and took a huff.
My heart was very full right now.
Because I had been able to text Iriake kun to my heart’s content just now.
I was so strange today that I wanted to talk to Iriake even though we went home together.
That’s why I texted Iriake-kun without any reason, but he was very attentive to me.
That’s why my heart was so full of Iriake-kun.
“I’m getting more and more addicted to Iriake-kun. ……”
I know I shouldn’t.
But I am becoming more and more unable to suppress my reason.
In fact, my reason was broken when I moved in next door.
“Haaa, Iriake-kun.”
I touch the wall facing the bed.
If I press my ear against it, I can hear the clattering sounds of daily life.
These were all the sounds of Iriake-kun.
“I’m hopeless.”
I muttered to myself, but the reality is that there is nothing I can do about it.
I quietly listen to the next room.
I feel safer this way, and I am more content.
The dryness is moistened.
“Fufu, I’ll always be with Iriake-kun, won’t I?”
I am so grateful for the thinness of the walls in this apartment, and I stick my body to the wall so as not to let Iriake-kun leak out.
“Fufu, I love you, Iriake-kun ♡.”
I hope that one day Iriake-kun will receive these feelings.
Of course, all of them, every single one.
