“Well, I didn’t expect there to be two overnight guests.
At night, the owner of the inn came back, so we decided to go to the entrance and say hello. We were in the customer’s position, but since we were introduced by the kindness of the husband’s younger brother, we thought it made sense.
To my surprise, the husband turned out to be the owner of the set meal restaurant where we had lunch. It would have been a big surprise because the other person was looking at our faces and widened his eyes.
“But getting stranded on a day trip is a disaster.”
“They say stumbles are a part of the journey.”
I let out a wry smile as I was offered a beer.
I decided to have dinner with the couple. Normally in a guesthouse, you would be served food in the dining room, but we got into a good conversation and decided to sit with the couple. There were no other guests besides us, just the couple and the four of us eating.
Misumi senpai was a little nervous, but was wrapped in the open personality of the couple and was relaxed. You may be satisfied with fish dishes that go well with beer.
“Even though you are young, you understand. It’s rare that life goes on as planned. There are mountains and valleys. Young people try to cross the wall because they have energy, but it’s also a good idea to stop and take a detour.”
“Knock it off. You’re in front of the customers.”
“I just feel so good ! I can’t help it since I’m with such a young and beautiful lady.”
The husband seems to like a lot of alcohol, and he drinks beer at a fairly high pace. My face is already red because I keep accepting and drinking sake from Misumi senpai each time.
“I’m sorry, talking to young people makes him get ahead of himself.”
“I don’t mind ! Because I got so much service. And what he just said touched my heart. I can sympathize with it, or there is a
A memorable moment that I can think of….”
“A memorable moment?”
The landlady tilts her head curiously.
I told her about the time I was fired from Lyconess. With the intention of a little bragging and retrospective.
After I got kicked out, I moved away from the music a little. Thanks to Ryoko and Ari san, I quickly got out of the rock bottom, but I didn’t know what to do after that.
I like music, but I don’t know what to do with it. I vaguely had such a dilemma.
I may have wanted to escape from such a dilemma when I helped Ari san take the exam. I wanted to think that even if I was kicked out, I could help someone. It’s a detour or rather an escape route.
But thanks to that, I was able to start a band again. The beginning of Not Noise. Not a bad detour.
“I envy you for forming a band. It really feels like youth.”
“Right. I want to go back to when we were young too.”
The couple looked at each other warmly.
I wonder if these two have been dating since they were young?
or did they know each other as an adult?
Since they are such a lovey-dovey couple, even if they go back in time, they will probably still be lovers.
If that wish comes true, what kind of youth will they spend…..
When I saw the two of them getting along so well, I couldn’t help but imagine.
[I want to be by your side even if I go back to the past.]
It’s plain, but it’s a good phrase. I want to make a song like that one day.
“Speaking of which, did you fulfill the purpose of coming to this town? I’m sure you’re looking for something. What was it?”
“I was thinking about the lyrics of the band’s songs. I was asked to write the lyrics, but I got stuck. So he brought me to this town.”
“Hahaa, I see. But it’s a pretty deserted town, so I guess nothing came to mind.”
“It’s not like that. The meal was delicious and the sea view was beautiful. The people who live in it are also kind and it is a very wonderful town.”
There is no stagnation in Senpai’s mouth. And it was immediately clear from her expression that her words were not meant to be embellished.
The same sparkling eyes as when she looked at the sea in the daytime was not fake. Feelings that can’t be suppressed cannot be expressed in a polite way.
The couple, who witnessed such a beautiful expression, had a ticklish smile that contained joy and embarrassment.
“Then it seems that it was a good trip.”
“Yes, very.”
“I really envy you. Went to college, formed a band, and traveled with your boyfriend.”
“B-boyfriend !?”
Senpai raised a silly voice to the word [boyfriend] that overflowed from the landlady’s mouth.
“Eh, aren’t you two dating?”
“W-we’re not ! Kobayakawa kun is a band member and a junior at university…..”
“What, did you not know? These two are not dating.”
“Well, I see. So you know that.”
The husband was a little stunned by the landlady who misunderstood. I told the husband that we were not lovers earlier, but I hadn’t told the landlady yet. She didn’t pry, so I forgot to mention.
“Well then, I wonder if it was a bad idea to put you in the same room.”
“Yeah, did we end up in the same room !?”
“Because it can’t be helped, you seem close, so I think you two have that kind of relationship.”
“Well, I also misunderstood at first. Please give them a separate room.”
“I can’t. The other room is leaking so it can’t be used.”
“I see…..”
Hmm, the couple twists their heads. Senpai was quick to soothe the troubled two.
“You don’t have to worry about anything more than this. I don’t mind sharing a room with him.”
“Is it really okay?”
“Yes. I’ve been hanging out with him a lot more, so I don’t feel worried. I think that I can sleep safely.”
I agree with that, too. Since last winter, I’ve been able to talk to Senpai a lot, so I don’t feel nervous or awkward anymore. I’m hesitant about sleeping in the same room as a woman, but it’s okay as long as it doesn’t make her feel weird. If Senpai does not complain, there is nothing to say from me.
“Is that so? If the two of you are okay with that.”
The meal was over when the room allocation was confirmed, so we decided to return to the room.
Just before leaving the dining room, the couple had a conversation in a somewhat small voice.
“(Those two, I wonder if there will be nothing going on tonight?)”
“(It seems they weren’t aware of this. They looked good together.)”
“(But we are not a love hotel, right? I don’t put rubber or anything)”
“(That guy probably brought one with him. He’s a male student and a band person, so he prepared.)”
“(You’re right)”
I’m sure they are feeling nostalgic and reminiscing about old stories. What a lovely couple.
