I went home and went back to my room and a while later I received a phone call from Tsukane.
The content was that she was coming to my house now with Tanba-san …….
“No, no, no, what are you thinking?”
There is almost no problem for two girls to come to my house at this hour, but I have my mother at home.
My mother is a housewife, but she is an indoor person and basically a recluse.
However, when she gets angry, she has a troublesome side just like anyother family.
Such was the case when Tsukane and I had a fight over pudding.
When I fearfully went to check on her, I found mother reading a book at her desk in her room.
I’m sorry to interrupt but I have to tell the truth before anyone says anything later on.
“Mom, it looks like Tsukane and her friend are coming over, but don’t worry about it.”
“I understand~”
From the looks of things, she will probably stay in her room until dinner.
I decided to leave the front door unlocked, and Tsukane arrived just then.
I thought it wouldn’t take long since Tsukane and I originally live close to each other, but she was in a hurry.
“I’m going in. Where’s Kyoko-san?”
Kyoko-san is my mother’s name.
Before Tsukane can answer, she walks in with an air of dignity.
“Her room. Please don’t open the door.”
“Sorry to disturb you.”
Tanba-san, who had followed behind Tsukane, also entered.
I know Tsukane is used to it as a childhood friend.
But in Tanba-san’s case, I wonder if it is because she is experienced that she can enter a man’s house with no hesitation.
“Is the living room okay?”
“No, I want to go to Tomose’s room.”
“I want to go to a boys’ room too.”
Tsukane is not a landlord, but she seems to be the big person.
I wonder if she is showing Tanba san that she has been here many times.
In contrast, Tanba-san didn’t seem to pay any attention to her, she just seemed to be interested in my room.
“Well can’t help it.”
“You promised me the room from the beginning, didn’t you?”
I think she is more eager to show off to Tanba-san rather than wanting to get to my room as soon as possible.
Tanba-san may have noticed this and looks at Tsukane with a smiling face.
“The room is quite tidy, isn’t it?”
Her opening line when I gave it to her room was filled with a feeling of surprise.
“Did I look like someone with no life skills?”
“Even though it’s your parents’ home…but your life skills?? I live alone, and that’s what I thought compared to my room.”
I can’t contradict the right argument, please don’t do it….
Tanba san is right, it is rather clean because there are parts of it that my mother can organize for me.
It’s a little hurtful when it’s said plainly.
“Kano-chan, have you never been to a boy’s room?”
“Of course not. Are you suspicious? Tsukane san?”
“The two of you have become good friends?”
Before I knew it, they were calling each other by name.
What’s wrong ……?
It seems they got along very well while I was playing catch with Chiharu.
Next, Tsukane sits on my bed, spreads her hands and begins to occupy it.
“Hey, what are you doing relaxing all by yourself?”
“It’s fine! Come sit next to me, Kano-chan!”
“Well then, excuse me.”
Ignoring my words, both of them sat down on my bed.
Is it my fault for not having prepared a chair in addition to the desk chair?
–Is it really my fault? I originally didn’t intend to bring them up to my room though.
Thinking this, I quickly prepared drinks and brought them to the room as quickly as possible before they searched the room.
There was at least a folding table, so I used it as a place to put the glasses.
“Kano-chan, unlike with Chihara san, don’t use honorifics, and you don’t have to strain your language skills, okay?”
“No, that’s because I tend to float when I’m in a group, so this is more my normal tone.”
“Kajita…isn’t it? Even when he came to the classroom, your tone was not very friendly.”
Thanks to a boy named Kajita, I am also being troubled.
“Yes. Even to people I don’t care about, I speak in a broken way.”
“I don’t understand the standards.”
“It means that have I forgive to a certain extent.”
She holds up her index finger and explains why.
Is that what it is?
It is difficult to take it as a classification since it is a broken way of speaking even to Chihara who is probably the closest friend of hers.
“What about when you first spoke to Tsukane?”
“The first time is …… probably yesterday, right? That was because Tomose-kun was there.”
Well, if she didn’t tell me to stick around, it’s not something we have to worry about.
Tanba-san’s attitude became interesting to me, and I subsequently asked her about the opposite case.
“What if I wasn’t there?”
“I don’t know. Because now I can’t ignore you anymore ……”
Is that as a rival for love ……?
Or is it simply that she wants to continue to be friends?
Tanba san, who saw my confused face, looked back at me and smiled smugly.
“Perhaps you prefer a more casual tone of voice?”
“No, I think it’s better if it’s more of a ‘gap moe’ kind of thing.”
“Tomose, you sound like an otaku, but I don’t find that flattering.”
Tsukane has no gap.
Even if someone tells me, I don’t realize it, so I guess I just don’t understand.
“Is that so?”
“I was happy.”
When I asked Tanba-san, she blushed a little and said so.
How can she look so maidenly in love?
It’s …… tremendous.
In contrast, Tsukane is puzzled and asks me.
“Eeh, I see,……me?”
“Why, you don’t have a gap moe, let alone a moe element.”
Considering Tsukane’s girlish elements, she seems to be above average across the board, and there are no unnecessary attributes.
It can be said that she simply has a serious personality.
Well, I don’t think she’s an exemplary student,……, like the way she frequently skips club activities.
“More, praise me for not being so front and center!”
“Tsukane isn’t like that, we’ve grown up together for a long time, so everything is natural.”
“What’s that, you can say it!”
“I don’t know what your criteria is for a compliment.”
I was more shocked at the way Tsukane looked away as she spoke.
I might actually like that face that you only show to me.
It seems that the road to becoming someone who understands me is still a long one, but it’s still good enough.
In case you are wondering, it’s a secret I haven’t told Tsukane, but I like blondes.
If Tsukane dyed her hair blonde and tied it up or something, I might attack her.
Tsukane, who has been in and out of my house many times, might know that I like blondes.
Why would she wear her hair in a bun, let alone her hair color? Well, with a name like Tsukane, you would expect her to do that, wouldn’t you?
I once asked her to do so, but she probably doesn’t remember.
“You two are really close. I’m jealous.”
And Tanba-san looks at our argument with admiration.
She’s doing what she does, I don’t know.
Does Tanba-san really want to have a boyfriend or something?
I can’t help but understand how it feels to be in love.
Our grade has a relatively strong caste system, so there are many students who have boyfriends and girlfriends.
Maybe Tanba-san has one of her admirers as well.
Then again, as Shuuta said about Tanba-san’s rumors, is there an absolute standard for potential boyfriends, or is it hard to find one? There are still questions
In my case, it seems that the condition was to be ranked first in my grade, but from the fact that I was given a fake boyfriend, it seems that I did not meet the condition that she was looking for.
But I guess it’s wrong for me to be afraid of that.
I am aware that I am gradually becoming interested in Tanba-san as well.
But this time, I can’t allow myself to make a naive decision.
I drank a cup of tea and calmed down.
