My Classmate Whom I Helped Seems to Be Mentally Sick, So I've Been Trying My Best to Hide My True Identity, But It Seems Like I've Been Found Out - Chapter 41

Stay Home

“Takizawa-kun, can you see me off again today?”

I was having dinner with Sumire Murasaki, as usual, when she suddenly asked me this partway through.

By the way, my mom vanished somewhere after saying, ‘I’m going out for a bit,’ as soon as she had finished preparing dinner.

“Well, it’s been a bit dangerous lately, so I guess I can at least walk you home.”

“Thanks. Then let’s eat quickly so we’re not late.”

Even though it’s still bright outside right now, she hurriedly finished her meal and moved on to cleaning up.

Is she in a hurry to get home, or does she have something else to do?

Either way, if it means I can be free of her even a second sooner, then that’s fine.

But why does this make me feel a little lonely?

Why is she so eager to leave me and go home?

…No, I should stop overthinking things.

I’m starting to sound like I’m emotionally unstable myself.

Besides, it’s impossible to be with her all the time.

I want my own freedom, too.

I don’t want to be tied down and end up as some naive person who knows nothing about the world outside of her.

I want to have more friends, and I want to experience a normal relationship.

It’s probably impossible in high school, but maybe in college.

And when I become a working adult, I want to find a good job and use the money to travel on the weekends.

I’d like to get into social activities like golf as well.

Anyway, I don’t want to be tied down.

Being emotionally tied down is even worse than being physically bound.

I’ll quickly see her off and then relax in my room.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Today ends with this as well.

Once I’ve dropped Sumire off at her home, my time of respite will finally come.

I let out a sigh of relief as I left the house with her.

Outside, it had grown completely dark now.

♡

The outside is totally dark.

I wonder if it has arrived at home by now.

——The handcuffs I bought on Amazon.

The symbol of our love.

Let’s wear them together and as we sleep♡
