Chapter 222 – Possession #2
“Matsuda-kun…!”
When Miyuki entered the cafe and saw me, she had a happy expression on her face.
I said as I waved her hand at her as she lowered her voice as she noticed the few guests.
“Are you here?”
“Huh. Shall we sit in the corner?”
“Why is there a corner?”
“I’m afraid it will interfere with my work.”
“There is no such thing. Sit wherever you want.”
“Good luck then. Hello! Senior Inoo!”
Miyuki bowed her head to Lenka who came out of the bathroom just in time.
Lenka’s eyes widened as if surprised to see her face.
“Hello, Hanazawa. How did you know this place?”
“Matsuda-kun told me. Didn’t you know you were coming today?”
“I didn’t know…”
“Could I be rude?”
“Not at all. Welcome.”
Behind Miyuki were the vice-president and the baker.
While Miyuki and Lenka were talking, I gave a sour greeting to the vice-captain, and I gave the bread girl a chin.
“A long time?”
“Coke?”
“I was fine. Go sit down.”
Keck! The baker shook her head with a voice and immediately sat down with Miyuki and her vice-captain.
And Lenka, who was watching them like that, looked back at me with an absurd expression.
“What did you just do…?”
“What?”
“The little timid-looking kid coughed. But why are you pretending to understand…?”
He seemed dumbfounded after hearing the conversation that was not like a conversation.
Well, when the 3rd person saw it, they would want to know what it was doing.
“Because I know. If the manager is with him, you will know what he is trying to say. The pitch of the cough is different.”
“Uh, yeah…? It’s amazing… Are they all classmates?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that Hanazawa was coming?”
“Should I tell you?”
“It’s not like that, but it wasn’t difficult to tell. Also, are you really kind to Hanazawa?”
“I am also kind to Master. The same goes for the manager.”
“Me too…? Are you serious…? Everyday…”
“What are you doing every day?”
“… No. When I talk to you, I feel like I’m tired, so I’ll keep quiet.”
“Are you jealous?”
“Do not be ridiculous. This paranoid son of a bitch. What kind of jealousy is jealousy?”
Lenka shot me with her straight face, and as Miyuki approached to place her order, she smiled brightly.
“Would you like to order?”
“Yes, Matsuda-kun said that the caramel honey latte is the best, so drink it with it. Is there any drink you would recommend?”
“I like the Chocolate Chip Frappuccino or the Chocolate Ice Blended better than the Caramel Honey Latte.”
“Is it so?”
“Huh. Or should I give them one by one?”
“We would appreciate it if you would do that… But I’m afraid you’ll be too bothered to make it…”
“I came as a guest, but it’s annoying and you want to sleep? You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Then I’ll order three glasses each.”
“What size would you like?”
“Regular.”
“Okay. Don’t you have a coupon? If you collect ten stamps, I’ll give you one free.”
“Oh really? Then I will be grateful.”
After taking the order and paying for it, Lenka handed Miyuki her vibration bell.
Afterwards, as she watched her go back, she said to me who was next to her.
“Take out the espresso cubes.”
“Aren’t you going to order me?”
“Take it out.”
“The manager is strong, but he’s too strong, so he’s wearing a mask.”
“Noisy. Are you going to make a rough one for Hanazawa?”
“It is not.”
“Then work.”
It makes me have nothing to say for a while.
Let’s leave it for later.

“Matsuda-kun, can I put this here?”
Miyuki asked as she placed the coffee tray on the return table.
I said after helping Miyuki pour the ice from the finished cup into the tray.
“Put the straw in the upper left corner.”
“Huh.”
“Did it taste good?”
“It exceeded my expectations. Honoka and Masako say they prefer the Chocolate Chip Frappuccino.”
“What are they like? How were you?”
“I preferred the Caramel Honey Latte.”
After all, Miyuki has a deep inside.
Can’t we go in the warehouse for a moment now?
“I’m glad.”
“Can I come here often?”
“Why not?”
“I’m afraid I’ll get in the way… Then I’ll have to fill the coupon with ten stamps.”
She was waving a three-stamp coupon in front of me with a mischievous smile.
Fed up with Miyuki’s cute behavior, I looked at her surroundings and gently stroked her hair.
“Either way. What are you going to do now?”
“I want to go play.”
“With them?”
“Huh. I’ll go before it’s too late Didn’t you forget to study together tomorrow?”
Tomorrow was my holiday.
Miyuki didn’t forget that and said that to me.
I furiously wrinkled my brow.
“Ah, what are you studying already? Is your first holiday better if you rest at home?”
“Then you can study at home. And this is what we promised before vacation.”
Look at me staring at me with the eyes of the class president who manages those students.
She is lovely, but the thought of studying makes her feel at a loss.
But it’s okay. Because I have a way out of the situation.
“Okay. Sun.”
“Good idea. So, are you going now?”
“Good.”
Miyuki, completely unaware of my conspiracies, greeted Lenka with her bright expression, and took her vice-president and the bread girl out.
Said Lenka, who had been watching Miyuki walk away waving her hand through her window.
“I don’t understand why a nice guy like Hanazawa is close with you.”
Judging from her usual sarcastic jokes, it seems like she didn’t see the scene where I stroked Miyuki’s hair earlier.
If I had seen it, I would have tried to ask what the two of them were doing.
“Can’t we be friends?”
“It’s not impossible, but it’s surprising.”
“Why are you fighting again?”
“Wh-what…? Do you want to say something strange…? You’re the one fighting…!”
Lenka’s face turned red in an instant.
I don’t know why I’m messing around when I can’t find it like that.
Is it natural that it’s a half bone?
“Saying that, I am closed tomorrow, so can I do well by myself?”
“… What can’t you do? The boss is helping me too… I’d rather do better than when I was with you? You will feel comfortable.”
“I have to come as a guest tomorrow.”
“If you do, I will spit in your drink.”
“Is it so? Rather good.”
“Wh-what…?”
“Spit as much as possible.”
“… A real pervert.”
“Is that the only thing you know how to swear at? Now that sounds like a compliment, but try being a little creative.”
“…”
Lenka who is sulking at the sarcasm… So pretty.
I want to jump right in and kiss those protruding lips that taste like blueberries.
I thought so and continued with a smile.
“Are you going back together today?”
“I don’t like it… What is it…? Don’t come closer…!”
Lenka, who was about to politely refuse, flinched and stepped back from her.
Because I got closer to her.
I asked again while Lenka, with her head pulled back, couldn’t contain her embarrassment.
“Are you going with me?”
“Go, I’ll go…! You can go…! So get away…! There are also guests…!”
“Can I do this without guests?”
“Of course not, you ignorant bastard…!”
“I’m just staring.”
“No…! Don’t even look…!”
Sooner or later you’ll be allowed to do whatever I do.
Drawing a golden future, I meekly left Lenka.
“Wait while looking at the figures at Robot Mania after it’s over.”
“I won’t…! Don’t watch…!”
“Then watch anime in the dressing room.”
“… I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry…”
“All right.”
After I finished today’s Lenka training session with my teeth exposed, I calmly put on her rubber gloves as a sink.
**
After finishing my shift with the evening shift, I raised one hand to Lenka, who was waiting by her car just in time for the appointment.
Then Lenka crossed her arms in her haughty gesture.
Trying not to get discouraged… It’s virtual.
On the way to pick up Lenka and return to her house.
Concentrating on driving quietly, I glanced through the room mirror at Lenka, who was staring out of her window.
“Director.”
“What.”
“Where have you been? Didn’t you buy a figure today?”
“Don’t talk half-heartedly.”
“You didn’t buy it?”
“I was just wandering the streets.”
“Isn’t it cold?”
“Not really.”
Seeing Lenka giggling again, I burst out laughing at her, then took advantage of the signal and stuck my head out in front of her nose.
“Huh!?”
Were you surprised by the sudden appearance of her head in front of your eyes?
A frightened Lenka let out her short screams and threw her head back, as in her cafe.
She opens her eyes wide with the back of her head resting on her headrest.
She scolded me for making her nervous and swallowing her saliva.
“Go, why is there a fuss all of a sudden…!”
“It looks cold, so I’m going to check it out.”
“Uh, how do you check?”
“If you get close, you can feel the cold coming from your body.”
“What nonsense…”
“Chief, her constitution itself is cold, so you can find out this way.”
After I finished speaking, I relaxed my eyes slightly and lowered my eyelids halfway.
After that, I brought my face a little closer to Lenka.
It’s like a person right before a kiss.
“Hey…! Hey!”
In response, Lenka placed her hand on the backrest adjuster with an expression of great urgency.
It looks like he’s trying to keep his distance by lowering his back… Do you know what’s even weirder?
I laughed inwardly at that cute act, and said with a chin gesture to the side.
“I’m going to get some blankets.”
“Blanket…?”
Lenka looked in the direction I pointed.
She opened her eyes when she confirmed that a blanket was lifted from my hand as I was rummaging in the back seat of hers.
“Why did you pick up the blanket this way…! You just need to turn your body slightly…!”
“Because this is comfortable.”
“Do not be ridiculous…! You were trying to make fun of me…”
“It’s not, so cover it up.”
I unfolded her blanket and placed it on Lenka’s lap.
Then she rolled her eyes and blinked her own long eyelashes two or three times.
“You’re doing something stupid…”
There again while good
Shrugging my shoulders, I looked forward again and changed the topic as if passing by.
“Working part-time with the manager is really fun.”
“I am not funny. I’m regretting introducing you to the boss.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t look upset at all, do you?”
“That’s right. Would you like to watch a movie with me during the holidays? The famous anime theatrical version came out this time. It’s not an action joke.”
“… Don’t look.”
“Why? Have you already seen it?”
“No…! I’m not seeing you…! I’d rather watch it alone.”
Looking at the reaction, I think we can go to the cinema together if we do well.
Lenka put her hand on her own chest and let out a sigh, as if surprised by the situation she had just gotten into.
As I drove slowly while looking sideways at Lenka, I entered the neighborhood where her house was.
An old-fashioned house that began to appear before my eyes.
I said, having parked the car in front of him.
“Go in, think about it.”
I was referring to the cosplay I mentioned today.
Sensing this, Lenka pursed her lips inward and opened her passenger-side door.
“I don’t thank you at all for the ride.”
As usual, she gave her tsundere-like thanks before folding her blanket and placing it on her sheet.
Afterwards, she blew out her snort and moved her steps towards her gate.
I slowly started the car watching her elongated back and stopped at the store to buy bath bombs before returning home.
It was to create an atmosphere today and induce Miyuki to go to bed naturally.
If Miyuki was completely exhausted, she would be so tired that she wouldn’t even dare to mention the word study.
It’s an ignorant way, but so what?
Sometimes I don’t think it’s bad to do this.
