Chapter 88 – The Flinching Chinami
Geeing…!
The phone under the tatami vibrates.
I, who had passed out with Miyuki, tried to fumble my hand,
“…My phone…”
Waking up from her slumber, Miyuki frowned and brought her cell phone, and she answered the call.
“Hello…?”
[Were you sleeping?]
A faintly audible voice over the phone, albeit decent, but timid.
It was Tetsuya.
Rin Miyuki rubbed her eyes and replied.
“Yes…”
[Did I call too early? Sorry.]
“No…But what happened…?”
[I was bored, so I called. You usually get up around seven o’clock.]
Are you curious about what you did yesterday?
Well, I can’t help but wonder what my childhood friend of 15 years that I have a crush on did with me alone.
So you should have acted right.
I’m telling you, but because you’re so dull, precious people are taken away.
Renka and Hiyori will be like that too.
Don’t have false hopes.
I laughed at Tetsuya to the fullest in my heart and listened closely to the conversation.
“It’s the weekend, so I’m going to sleep in…”
[Okay? Then sleep more Contact me when you wake up.]
“Okay… I’m sorry.”
[Nope. I’m sorry. Then I’ll hang up.]
“Yes…”
Miyuki pressed the end dream call button and let out a long breath through her nose.
Then he came into my arms, curled up like a shrimp, and trembled.
“Cold…”
I said as I embraced Miyuki.
“Why are you such a nice kid?”
“What…”
“He calls me without hesitation since morning, but if it were me, he would curse.”
“Why are you swearing about something like this… Tetsuya-kun, you called me because I knew it would happen around this time…”
“I’m going to have to hit you a few times soon.”
Quack.
A stinging, heavy pain rose from his chest.
Miyuki would bite.
He seemed angry when he said he was hitting me… But it hurts.
I hurriedly removed Miyuki’s head and calmed her down by rubbing the back of her neck.
“Why are you biting people? Are you a dog?”
“That’s why you say such nasty things…”
“I only spoke, do you use violence at all?”
“…..”
After being silent for a moment, she dug deeper into her arms.
It was an act of trying to cover up the situation with aegyo because he had nothing to say.
Patting her butt, I let out a low laugh.
Miyuki herself might not be conscious of it, but her behavior made me feel very comfortable with her.
Much more than Tetsuya.
To the point where I can’t even compare him to him anymore.
**
Shoot ah-!
A car glides smoothly through the rough rain.
Miyuki, who had adjusted her own cardigan, turned to me and said.
“Do you want to go with Matsuda-kun?”
“No. It’s a place to spend time with family, so what’s the shame?”
“Would Mom and Dad like it?”
“I can’t even say that. I feel uncomfortable because I wasn’t invited.”
Miyuki made a pouty expression at the firm answer.
We were currently heading to Miyuki’s house.
It was because Midori suddenly called, telling her friend not to be a nuisance and to come in for a meal with her family.
“I told you that I’m going to sleep for two days…”
When she grumbled, she took Miyuki’s hand and intertwined her hand, soothing her with a soft voice.
“It is natural for a mother to worry about her daughter. A person who is usually quiet at home is now leaving the house for several days a week, which is cause for concern for anyone.”
“….Even so…”
“Arrived. Enter carefully, and contact me.”
A car stopped in front of the house.
After letting out a long snort of regret, Miyuki suddenly brought her hand to her chest and pressed her lips against the back of her hand.
Then she quickly opened the door and ran away.
Fed up with the sudden expression of affection, I was driving home, but I thought of Chinami and stopped at the side of the road for a moment.
After that, I turned on the chat app and looked for Chinami.
The profile picture is of Momo, who is still messing around.
Entering the chat room, I quickly tapped the keyboard that appeared on my phone screen.
[Master.]
Contrary to the expectation of an immediate answer, the phone was silent for a minute.
Are you dating someone? By the time you think
[Hello. Junior. It’s raining really hard.]
Chinami’s reply came.
[I see. What are you doing?]
[I just came out of the shower.]
[Looks like you have an appointment?]
[I was supposed to meet Lenka in the evening, but I took a shower because it was cold and I wanted to warm myself up with warm water.]
Now that I think about it, I haven’t held an event where the two appear together until now…
Shall we visit this time?
The meeting place for the two is fixed, but since it’s a rainy day, it could change, so I’ll have to hint at Chinami.
[Okay. Is lunch free?]
[That’s right.]
[If you don’t mind, would you like to see a movie with me? I was supposed to see it last time.]
[Which movie is this?]
[I haven’t decided yet, is there a genre you want to see?]
[Then when shall we meet?]
No, you asked what genre you want to watch.
What if I skip the process?
Seeing Chinami’s still wacky reply, I tapped on the screen, bursting with laughter from her.
[Shall we go now?]
[How long does it take?]
[About 15 minutes?]
[Hmm. Like.]
After talking with Chinami, I turned around.
It is a sin to go home and rest just because time suddenly becomes empty.
Our God is helping us, but we shouldn’t waste our free time.
**
Rattle.
Opening the passenger door, Chinami folds her umbrella and she climbs in with a whimper.
Shorts and sandals, and a thick sweatshirt and a hat that was slightly turned to the side.
It seems like a coordination that doesn’t match well, but it suits me because it’s Chinami.
It’s a bit cute and hip.
“Hello, junior.”
She bows her respectfully.
I asked after bowing my head and being greeted.
“You said it was cold, so you came wearing shorts?”
“If you wear long pants, rainwater will get on you. Bring a blanket and it’s fine.”
Chinami confidently unfolded the blanket.
It was the pink blanket I had seen before, with a large picture of my mom in the middle.
Chinami, who put it on her lap, looked back at me with a smile on her face.
Then, as she was about to say something, she suddenly sniffed her nose.
“Hmm… It smells like plums. Come to think of it, I think my junior’s body smells like plums these days. It was like that in the clubroom last time…”
“Do you smell my body too?”
“Oh…! I didn’t take it on purpose, it means that my juniors gave it to me.”
Chinami is confused.
I said with a smile on her face towards her.
“It’s a joke. Do you like plums by any chance?”
“Of course I like it. Not as much as a peach.”
Then I’ll play well with Miyuki.
Suddenly, I think of this.
As Chinami neglects her best friend, Lenka, she spends more time with me and Miyuki…
Renka gets NTRed by Chinami like that…
Something’s wrong
“Why did you decide to meet Inoo-senpai?”
“We decided to buy clothes together.”
It’s a clothing store…
I already know where the two often go.
I think I can meet you if you kill nearby.
We went to the cinema, having a chat, and chose a movie to watch in front of the kiosk.
An action blockbuster that has been praised for its splendid directing.
I wanted a quiet movie, but it was a pity that it wasn’t shown during the time we were going to watch.
Because it was a weekend, there were a lot of people, so there were only seats that were not very good for on-site reservations.
But for me it was even better.
It was because the remaining seat was a corner seat that was perfect for doing something, where no one else could sit next to it.
I asked after I had voted for her while appeasing the disappointed Chinami.
“Would you like some popcorn too?”
“Oh, yes! I have peach powder.”
“… Peach powder? Are you referring to the iced tea powder?”
“No. It is a delicious seasoning powder sprinkled on potato chips or popcorn. I saved it because it was hard to find, but I specially brought it to eat with my juniors.”
Did such seasoning powder exist in the world?
It looks like it will taste so wicked that it can’t be compared to peach ice cream… But since you brought it for me, it’s no big deal.
I don’t want to eat even if I die, but I have to eat.
As the screening time remained tight, we went inside the theater as soon as we bought popcorn and drinks.
The drink was, of course, peach iced tea.
I desperately want to degrade Chinami to normal taste as soon as possible.
If this continues, peaches will get neurosis.
I seated Chinami in the far corner, and when she took out a wrapping paper that said [Peach Bomb!] From her crossbody bag, I was startled.
Your name is so ugly
“Is that peach powder?”
“Yes. Are you looking forward to it? If you try it once, you will fall in love with it.”
In the movie, Chinami spoke lines like a villain who seduces women with something like watermelon.
Opening her wrapper, she immediately sprinkled powder on the popcorn, shook the popcorn container, and held out a popcorn to me.
“Try it.”
Popcorn with the most powder.
I tried hard to hide my fear, and I took it and carefully brought it to my mouth.
And,
‘Five…?’
I opened my eyes wide at the sweet taste that burst into my mouth.
I didn’t expect anything, but the unique savory taste of popcorn and the sweet taste of that powder went really well together.
How the hell can this be delicious?
“How are you?”
Chinami looks at me with eyes full of anticipation.
I responded by grabbing another popcorn.
Then Chinami raised the corner of her mouth and let out a meaningful laugh.
Hehe…”
For some reason, my pride hurts…
I don’t know if I’m rather corrupted and barking that I’ll do anything for the peach powder.
You need to get your mind right.
After eating another piece of popcorn, I moved my butt and sneaked closer to Chinami.
To the extent that our waists touched the armrest that blocked the middle of us.
“What…?”
Seeing me like this, Chinami flinched.
He seemed to think that the distance was too close.
After observing Chinami’s reaction, I reached out and took a piece of tissue from her lap.
“If you had told me, I would have given it to you…”
She scolded me in a voice that was barely audible.
I calmly wiped my hands and said with a smirk.
“Master is so comfortable. I apologize if I offended you.”
“Hmm… Not really… Hmmmm…”
The atmosphere becomes giddy.
It means that if you try subtle skinship like this, the air becomes very soft.
Will there be a chance to touch your neck while watching a movie?
Looking at Chinami right now, she seems to be very nervous, but the moment I relax her shoulders, I will try to gently touch her while pretending to let go.
