Chapter 186 – Time to Come #2
“Then… Hanazawa kouhai-sama, see you next week.”
Chinami bowed her head.
When she added a bit of her lies and was so polite that her head touched the floor, Miyuki frightened her and lifted her upper body up.
“All right, see you next week. It was really fun today.”
Said Chinami, who showed her wriggling smile at her bewilderment.
“Me too. I will bring my favorite peaches on Monday, so I hope you eat them together.”
“Oh, I’ll eat whatever you like.”
“Yes, then… Good-bye, Matsuda-sama.”
Chinami, half covering her lips with her own scarf, raised her hand.
She’s petite, but her proportions are great, and the way she waves her hand with her fingers pressed together is pretty.
Come to think of it, you didn’t wear the mittens I gave you?
When I ask later, you won’t say that you’re keeping it because it’s so precious, right?
“Yes. Have fun with the manager.”
“Four…!”
“The manager is also working hard.”
A completely different way of speaking than when dealing with Chinami.
At that, Lenka, who narrowed her brows, nodded roughly.
“Uh.”
As if to avenge the attitude I had just shown, she said goodbye to Miyuki in a friendly voice.
Pouting at the mold. You make me feel like bullying.
But today, without unnecessary talk, I got along well with Miyuki, so I look after her.
While watching Lenka go to the shopping corner with Chinami, I got on the elevator with Miyuki.
On the way to the car parked at the parking lot, Miyuki, who was chewing on something, looked up at me and asked,
“Are there separate peaches for winter? I think I saw it on the news…”
“Well. I don’t know… Why peaches for winter?”
“No… Nanase-senpai said he was bringing peaches.”
“Ah… That? I heard last time that they bought it in advance around early fall and freeze it. There are many varieties, but among them, Nanase-senpai must have a particular favorite.”
“Ah… That’s amazing…”
“I think so too. How was your day?”
“It was fun.”
It’s not bad, but it’s a bit boring answer.
Is this a unit price?
“I think I need to communicate a lot with Nanase-senpai personally.”
Nope It seems that Miyuki also had many feelings in her own way.
As she said, she wasn’t talking directly to me about the threesome.
I think this is better than mentioning it over and over again.
I grabbed her hand tightly as a sign of gratitude for not saying anything bad.
And then he gave me strength.
Then Miyuki let out a picky laugh.
You will notice what kind of heart I have.
Just once, at least once.
Maybe she thinks so.
Maybe that’s why he shows such a calm reaction.
But what would you say if you contacted Chinami personally?
I haven’t talked to Chinami about the threesome yet… I’m sure she won’t be chatting about it, right?
It may take a little while, but don’t fret for nothing. Let’s stay still.
Miyuki, much wiser than me, will take care of it.
“Shall we go see a movie at the cinema next door?”
“Huh. Good.”

“It’s Matsuda. What are you doing here?”
On Monday morning, I came to check supplies for a short time in the insolvent room, so I bumped into the director.
The bottom of the eyes are swollen, and the expression is properly drained of energy.
Did you play defense on the weekend? If you’re struggling, I might be able to help you a little…
Therefore, he promised not to touch his wife, but it’s a different story if he wants to.
I want to ask if you don’t invite people.
“Hello. Delivery came this morning, I wanted to check if it arrived well.”
“Did I check earlier? All came well.”
“I have to do it myself. It’s the manager Oh, it’s not that I don’t trust the director. I’m going to look at it while cleaning it up.”
Because of his smirk and light laugh.
He put his oversized, furry hand on my shoulder! He asked.
“I get it. How’s your training going these days?”
“Yes. Thanks to Nanase-senpai, we are doing well.”
“You speak humbly. I wish they were a little less aggressive in friendly matches.”
It’s understandable to say something like that.
Because of that, I did some bad manners in front of him.
As I scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed, Goro continued.
“As others say, kendo is a martial art based on examples. Respect for the other person must be backed up so that you can be respected as well.”
“I will work hard to fix it.”
“That was it. When does class start?”
“In about 20 minutes.”
“Okay? Then can I give you some tips?”
“Hey, well… I have no reason to refuse to teach you.”
“It’s a good attitude. Take a good look.”
Goro, facing me, took a deep breath.
Then, his upper body, which was already large, swelled up.
In that state, Goro pretended to hold the shinai and raised his arm above his head to take the top three.
In Chinami’s case, the upper class is the main target, but her physique is small, so she doesn’t feel intimidated.
Of course, if you exchange karate once, you’ll sweat in your sharp hands, but it’s true that it looks cute until then.
But Goro was different.
His physique was so large that the atmosphere was great when he took the top three.
The feeling of facing a huge, solid wall that won’t break no matter how many times you hit it.
I thought I was the same size, but compared to Goro, who was originally strong, it was three feet.
“It’s big.”
“Yes, is it big? Enlarge your upper body by sucking in a lot of breath into your chest before you start. However, if you go on the offensive, you have to turn it back so that your movement does not become dull.”
“Is it for a boost?”
“Accurate. As you may know, facing a top team with good momentum in a situation where you don’t know whether the opponent is better or worse than me has a great psychological shrinking effect. Try it.”
I obediently followed Goro’s words, took a deep breath, and raised my arm up. Goro, who was watching my posture, said,
“Here, spread your elbows out more to the left and right.”
“Like this?”
“Okay. Widen the left and right width to make your already large physique look even bigger. If I saw you while wearing a protective mask that limited my vision, it would feel like I was facing a big mountain. It’s better if you open the ax eye.”
“I think I know.”
“Good. Were you the spearhead?”
“Yes.”
“It must be a position with a lot of pressure, do you have any plans to move back?”
“Doesn’t exist. I am satisfied.”
“Good idea. The vanguard is the perfect position for you. Learn a lot from Nanase.”
“All right.”
“Go check the supplies.”
After a brief introduction to Goro, I moved to the warehouse.
I am checking and organizing the consumables delivered there,
“Under…”
A sigh came from behind.
I turned around to see Lenka looking at me with her arms crossed.
It feels like we run into each other often these days, but isn’t this guy stalking me?
“See you again?”
“…”
“Are you not even answering now?”
“…”
“Director.”
“…”
I wanted to call out his name when he was still without a word, but in the current state, I think I’m going to cross the line a bit.
“But did you just sigh?”
“…”
“Why? Is it nice to meet you?”
Lenka wriggles while trying to induce me to answer in a good way.
As I grinned at her and made her stride toward her,
“I’m sorry…!”
She let out a short, small exclamation, and I could see the strength going into her throat.
“Why aren’t you answering?”
“Ha, because I have nothing to say…”
Why don’t you have anything to say It’s just a bunch of things.
“Did you go well yesterday?”
“It went well.”
“What did you do with Master?”
“Shopping.”
“Did you buy clothes?”
“No.”
“Then Momo’s goods?”
“No.”
“Please keep answering with short answers.”
“… I-I just took pictures of stickers… I went shopping for dessert.”
You must be beaten to listen.
No, it’s correct to think that Lenka is being trained well here.
I saw you today Be thankful for the generous master’s heart.
“A sticker photo? Can I take a look?”
“Of course not…! No.”
“Even if the manager doesn’t show it, I’ll ask Master to show it to me anyway.”
“Then you can ask Chinami to show it to you.”
“I want to see it now, so the manager shows it to me. Delay your wish…”
When the word ‘wish’ came out, Lenka lit a double wick in her eyes.
“Hey, look at this…! Don’t be condescending, so…”
“I was trying to ask if I could show it to you because you did me a favor, not condescension.”
“That’s condescending…!”
“Is it? Show me anyway Then I won’t bother you.”
“…”
Muttering something to her, Lenka rummaged through the inside of her coat and took out her mobile phone, showing me the backside.
“Ruler.”
A sticker photo is attached to the inside of the case.
The first thing that caught my eye was Chinami, who raised her hands on her shoulders as if dancing to a nursery rhyme.
The pose is fatally cute. I feel the untainted innocence.
And Lenka… Stands behind Chinami with a really bright smile on her face.
She put a cute chick character on either side of her brightened face, and it fits surprisingly well.
You look pretty cute
“Is that okay?”
As if my eyes staring at the photo were burdensome, Lenka put her cell phone back.
I want to take a picture with a slave too.
If you get closer while doing part-time jobs together during vacation, you should ask to take a picture while you are off work.
“That’s Okay. It came out beautifully.”
“…Now don’t bother me.”
“All right.”
I nodded her head willingly and passed Lenka.
Then Lenka called me with her puzzled tone.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I want to go.”
“Weren’t you at work?”
“You promised not to bother me.”
“No… I just need to be quiet… Just get back to work. I’ll be leaving soon.”
Were you sorry that you stopped working because of yourself and went back?
Or was he pretending not to like it, but feeling empty when he actually went?
Considering the current relationship with Lenka, the former is a little more likely, but it could be both.
“All right. By the way, manager.”
“Why.”
“Did you know that the next volume of Mr. Asagao’s family situation is coming out?”
“… I didn’t know at all? Why do I care about that?”
Looking at his face, it’s clear he knows.
Did you like the book so much that you checked it out? It’s worth knowing.
“I thought you were looking for it because it was interesting.”
“It’s not even a hobby in the first place, so there’s no reason to look for it. But don’t you bother? Do something.”
“So be it.”
After answering coldly, I went back into the storage room and started sorting things out.
Lenka also went to the place where the hukou was located to check the condition of her equipment, as if she was preparing for sparring today.
How long had it been since they were each working in a warehouse where only rustling sounds could be heard?
Just when I thought I should go back to class after finishing most of my work, Lenka suddenly turned to me and asked,
“I heard you got a tip from the director?”
“Yes.”
“Keep it in your head. The director’s advice will help you unconditionally.”
“I’m going to.”
He told me not to bother… I guess the silence became awkward when we were together in a quiet place.
Seeing you say such a simple thing.
I opened the warehouse door, exhausted to the point where Lenka, who was quietly staring at me, didn’t notice.
“I did everything. I’ll just go.”
“Bye.”
“The manager isn’t going? It’s class time soon.”
“I still have work to do.”
“Okay then. I’ll see you during my off-activity time.”
“Huh.”
I left the storage room after listening to Lenka’s calm reply and trudged to the classroom, thinking.
It feels like there are too many things to do these days.
I have to pay attention to the upcoming threesome, of course, the tournament, and the school trip.
It’s like having to attack Lenka in earnest during vacation… Is it time to get really busy?
Let’s run hard
