I was just trying to serve them food, but why was the air so heavy?

I wrote this episode correctly! I’m serious!

　The student council meeting was over, and we were all going home together.

　Maya-nē and Kagurazaka, now quite familiar, are walking side by side next to each other.

 

　The sun has set, and we are the only students going home.

　Thanks to this, I am able to go home without any jealousy from others.

　That’s the only advantage of joining the student council.

 

“Hmm～, finally, the student council’s work is over…”

 

　Maya-nē folded her arms wide above her head and stretched out.

　The gesture was very wonderful.

 

　Because her posture emphasizes her large bre*sts!

　…Are they F cups?

 

“——Tokimori-kun, where are you looking? I wonder? “

“Hmm? Maya-nē che—— No, I was only looking at the sky. “

 

　Why is that? I felt a lot of pressure from Kagurazaka.

　And how did you know I was looking at her bre*sts? Is that it? Have you finally reached the same level as Saijouin?

 

　Isn’t it okay? Why do you pressure me just by looking at her bre*sts?

　Kagurazaka is big enough too…

 

“As usual, Nozomu-kun loves chest!”

“I don’t deny it, Maya-nē, but you shouldn’t say that now.”

 

　When Maya-nē said that, the light disappeared from Kagurazaka’s eyes.

　Oh, no——this is what happens when Kagurazaka’s bad mood reaches its peak.

 

　I told you! Don’t provoke her now!

　I don’t know why, but talking about bre*sts is not for Kagurazaka right now!

 

“If it was a chest, you can look at mine… “

 

　Kagurazaka was mumbling to herself while touching her chest in frustration, but I couldn’t catch what she was saying.

　Was she comparing her own bre*sts with Maya-nē’s?

　Don’t worry, they are still bigger than Saijouin’s! Rest assured!

 

“Well, that’s not important! Can I stop by the supermarket on our way home? “

 

　I quickly change the subject.

　I mustn’t make Kagurazaka unhappy any more than she already is. That’s what my gut was telling me.

 

“No problem! Are you going to buy dinner tonight? “

“Well, yeah, I guess so.”

“What? Tokimori-kun, can you cook? “

 

　Kagurazaka’s eyes light up, and she asks me as if it’s a surprise that I can cook.

　I’m glad to see that Kagurazaka seems to have calmed down.

 

　Really, why was she so grumpy when it’s not a new thing that I like bre*st?

　I don’t understand what she’s thinking.

 

“Hmm? Well, I can do it, I guess? I mean, I live alone, and it’s a matter of life and death if I can’t cook.”

 

　Well, there’s also a reason I took cooking lessons: to be popular.

 

“Huh…Tokimori-kun, you live alone? “

“Yeah, my parents passed away a year ago.”

“Ah, sorry…”

 

　Kagurazaka apologized dejectedly, thinking she had asked something she shouldn’t have.　

 

“Don’t worry, I had already sorted out my feelings a long time ago, and I’m fine with the Maya-nē family taking care of me from time to time.”

“Yes-yes, I come to visit him once in a while! “

 

　I don’t have parents.

　A year ago, they said, “I’m going on my honeymoon!”. They died in a plane crash on the way to Hawaii.　

　I was also appalled at the idea of a honeymoon at that age, but I never thought they would have an accident.

 

　I was in the third grade of junior high school.

　I had no close relatives, and there was even a suggestion to send me to an orphanage, but fortunately, I could live alone with the money my parents left me, so here I am, living on my own.

 

　Maya-nē’s family asked me, “Why don’t you live at our home?” But I felt sorry for them and refused.

　Now I earn money by making clothes and other things in addition to the money they left me, so my life is stable.

　Even so, I still feel lonely living alone, and I often visit Maya-nē’s house to see play.

 

　Seriously…I’m grateful to the Maya-nē’s family.

　They treat me like a family, even though I’m like this.

　If it were not for Maya-nē’s family, I probably would not have been able to act so cheerfully and recover from the death of my parents.

 

　So, I have endless gratitude for Maya-nē’s family.

　And I also consider Maya-nē’s family as my second family.

　Now I call Maya-nē’s parents “father” and “mother.”

 

“Still, I’m sorry, okay? I may have said something inappropriate…”

“I told you not to worry about it. Besides, I’m not lonely now that I have someone to support me.”

 

　I pat Kagurazaka on the head to reassure her.

 

“…okay.”

 

　Kagurazaka seemed relieved by the pat on her head, and her voice became cheerful from the apologetic tone she had used earlier.

 

　Kagurazaka must be cheerful, you know.

　I don’t want to see her face sinking because of me.

　I’d be happier if she just cheerfully interacted with me normally without being overly concerned.

 

“What do you think? Do you want to come over today? “

“No, I just went the day before yesterday. I’m not coming over today.”

“Is that soー? Anyway, I told you before, you don’t have to worry about it! Mother is happy that Nozomu-kun is coming too! “

“Okay, then I’ll show up tomorrow. Tell your mother I’ll be there tomorrow.”

“Yes, okay!”

 

　I really appreciate you, Maya-nē.

　Maya-nē was the first person to cheer me up when I was down.

　On the day of the funeral, when I was crying alone at the funeral home, she gently hugged me and comforted me.

 

[ Don’t worry, Onē-chan is here. I will always be with you, Nozomu-kun… ]

 

　I still remember those words.

　I can’t tell her how much those words saved my heart…

 

　Maya-nē is a person whom I truly care for, though I usually treat her roughly.

　So I want to support her in my own way, little by little.

　I still think so.

 

“So, how about we have dinner at my house after a long time, Maya-nē? “

 

　I invited Maya-nē to my house, perhaps because I remembered the old days.

　Not to repay the favor, but I should cook for her once in a while.

 

“Yes! Go go go～!”

 

　Maya-nē replies cheerfully next to me and hugs my arm.

　…Ah, I wouldn’t have a problem with Maya-nē if she didn’t do things like this.

　Please don’t provoke this adolescent boy too much.

 

“Ah, umm! Can I go too? “

 

　Then Kagurazaka wants to go to my house, too.

　…I don’t mind if she eats dinner with us.

 

“Is that okay? Can you come to the house of a man who lives alone? “

 

　Yes, that’s the point.

　Even if Maya-nē is there, I’m still a man.

　Spending time under the same roof with a beautiful girl like Kagurazaka is pretty dangerous, you know?

 

　Mainly, I’m afraid the guys will find out about it and kill me.

 

“D-don’t worry! I’m ready!”

 

　You don’t have to come with such enthusiasm…

　Does it take much courage to come to my house?

　Or are you ready to be attacked?

 

“I’m a man, too, you know? “

“I know!”

“All men are wolves, okay?”

“I know! “

“Wolves will attack a pretty girl like Kagurazaka if she’s around. “

“No, it’s okay! I’m… wearing lingerie I don’t mind being seen in today! “

“I’m sorry. I’ll never attack you, so don’t yell something like that that in public.”

 

　Kagurazaka shouted loudly in the street.

　Stop it! I’m sorry! Stop blushing and yelling something like that!

　See, people around here are glancing at us secretly!

 

　Why does Kagurazaka want to go to my house so badly?

　Besides, you mean you’re willing to be attacked by me, what’s that?

　That’s very tempting, but I won’t attack you in Maya-nē’s presence. ——I also won’t attack you without Maya-nē!

 

“…Isn’t it fine if you come to Nozomu-kun’s house separately?”

 

　Maya-nē, who was listening to our conversation, says something like that.

　——She lowers her voice about two tones lower.

 

“No, it’s not that she doesn’t want you to come too. It’s just that you don’t know how dangerous it is to go to a man’s house————”

 

“Wait, I’d like to talk to you alone.”

“——!? …M-me too! I have wanted to talk alone with Maya Senpai for a long time! “

 

“Ehh… Why are you two getting heated up? “

 

　Maya-nē and Kagurazaka were throwing sparks at each other as if something was going on between them.

　Uh, what do you two want to talk about?

　By the way, do you know that we are going to my house? What should I do while you two are talking?

 

　Despite the uneasy atmosphere between us, we headed to the supermarket to do some shopping.

 

　…Ah, the air is so heavy.

　I was just trying to serve them food…
