「It’s bizarre to be on summer season break in September.」

Maika, whom I haven’t seen in a very long time, says sincerely.

After spending a few month at her dad and mom’ home, she appears just a bit tanned and wholesome.

「Faculty college students have lengthy summer season holidays, don’t they?」

「I used to be at dwelling for a very long time, however I couldn’t do something college-like as a result of I used to be principally at dwelling. I couldn’t use this room in any respect regardless that I used to be residing alone.」

Maika falls exaggeratedly to the ground, nevertheless it’s not tragic as a result of she’s mendacity down like a seal basking on the seaside. If something, she appear like she was having enjoyable.

I shift my gaze from Maika to the desk.

There are two glasses of barley tea and a bag of potato chips.

I take a glass with a drop of water and moisten my throat.

Her room, the place she came over me as a result of she had a memento for me, is neither scorching nor chilly. It’s saved on the proper temperature for me.

「It’s nonetheless summer season trip, so why don’t you begin performing like a university scholar now?」

「What’s college-ish about it?」

Maika asks with no second’s pause.

「Nicely, I’m wondering.」

It has been virtually half a 12 months since I grew to become a college scholar, however I don’t need to be requested about myself, who isn’t so totally different from after I was a highschool scholar. I need her to ask Sendai-san about this type of factor, not me. However I do know that if Maika begins to say that she is going to contact Sendai-san, I received’t really feel superb, so I received’t inform her that.

We repeatedly listing what we each suppose are “faculty student-like issues” after which deny them, which is unproductive.

「Shiori, how’s the journey?」

After a number of voices answered,「It’s an excessive amount of trouble,」Maika obtained up from the seal again to a human being.

「Oh yeah, Ami advised us to return dwelling for winter break.」

「Final time I advised Ami I wouldn’t be again for winter break.」

On the finish of August, Ami requested me about my winter trip plans and I advised her I might not be returning. It was nonetheless a great distance off, however my plans wouldn’t change.

「She advised me to influence you. Are you not coming dwelling for New Yr’s Eve and New Yr’s?」

「I’m not.」

「Are your dad and mom, annoying?」

「We’re a laissez-faire household.」

My father’s first precedence is his work and he doesn’t care about me sufficient to intervene.

He by no means got here dwelling sufficient to intervene with me within the first place, so I didn’t come dwelling for summer season trip.

「I’m jealous. I want I may keep right here for the entire winter break, however I assume I’ll must go dwelling. I’ve New Yr’s cash, too.」

「How good to have New Yr’s cash.」

「Why don’t you go dwelling, too? Ami will probably be completely happy.」

「I’d wish to see Ami, however…」

The phrases I uttered contained no lie, however I don’t suppose I need to go dwelling to an empty home.

「Everybody will probably be going dwelling for the New Yr’s holidays, and wouldn’t it’s boring to be alone?」

“Let’s return there collectively,” Maika says in a voice that doesn’t say, however I do know she needs to.

「I don’t suppose Sendai-san will probably be leaving, and I don’t suppose I’ll be alone.」

I haven’t heard about Sendai-san’s plans, however I’m positive she received’t go dwelling simply because it’s the New Yr’s vacation. So I might reasonably keep right here than go all the best way again to my dad and mom’ home the place nobody is coming dwelling.

「Sendai-san isn’t returning dwelling both. Come to think about it, Sendai-san didn’t go dwelling for summer season trip both, did she?」

「She was at dwelling, however…」

「Did you two exit and have enjoyable collectively?」

「We went out for what we went out for.」

I do know she’s going to need to hear it.

If I had been in Maika’s footwear, I might ask the identical factor.

Nevertheless it’s arduous to reply.

I really feel responsible regardless that I’ve nothing to be responsible about.

「The place did you two go?」

Maika asks in a lightweight tone.

I do know she doesn’t imply something deep, and there may be nothing unnatural about the truth that if I say we’ve gone out, she is going to say the place.

「Aquarium.」

I reply shortly and drink barley tea.

「Stunning. Sendai-san appears to go to totally different locations. I imply, an aquarium is sort of a place for dates!」

「It’s not a date.」

Nothing loopy about going out with roommates.

It doesn’t matter if the place is an aquarium.

It’s a superb place to go together with associates or with roommates.

It’s simply unusual that Maika says it’s like a date.

It’s unusual that I’m too acutely aware after I discuss to folks about what occurred with Sendai-san, however I feel I’m simply overly involved about it as a result of I do issues along with her that I wouldn’t name roommates.

「Nicely, I used to be joking about calling it a date. How good. I want I may have been there to play.」

「So, do you two need to go hang around?」

「That’s good. The place would we go? ——wait, Shiori, your birthday is that this month, proper? Why don’t I am going out with you in your birthday?」

「Ahh, my birthday…」

Instantly the phrase birthday comes up and I’m puzzled.

Till final 12 months, it was Maika and Ami who celebrated my birthday.

However that received’t be the case this 12 months.

「Nhn? Do you have got any plans by any likelihood?」

Maika makes a curious face.

It’s arduous to say, however I’ve to.

「…I had a promise.」

「Ahh, there’s a promise.」

「Yeah. With Sendai-san.」

「The 2 of you?」

「…Kind of like that.」

「Ehh, I used to be planning to exit with Shiori this 12 months.」

Maika exaggerates.

Then she smirked and continued her phrases.

「…Is what I might say, however we didn’t do a lot final 12 months both. I assume I’ll give your birthday to Sendai-san.」

「Sorry.」

I really feel dangerous as a result of I can inform that Maika is worried about me.

In truth, it might be higher if I may invite Maika and the three of us may spend the birthday collectively, however I can’t say so.

「You stated you didn’t make any guarantees and there’s nothing to apologize for. Oh yeah, when is Sendai-san’s birthday?」

「In August.」

「It’s over now. What did you two do?」

「Simply in case.」

It’s not a lot that I did one thing, however I feel I did one thing birthday-like.

Nonetheless, I don’t know if the birthday current I gave her was the correct one, as I wasn’t positive whether or not I ought to give it to her or not. Sendai-san was happy, nevertheless it stays a thriller whether or not she meant what she stated when she stated she was completely happy as a result of she’s not the form of one who pushes again what she receives.

I attempted to have fun her birthday, hoping to reciprocate her kindness in some small approach, however I don’t suppose it went properly.

「Shiori, it’s not truthful that you simply appeared to be having fun with your summer season trip.」

「Maika has been enjoying with Ami, so why not?」

「Sure, however you recognize what? I wished to completely take pleasure in it right here too.」

Maika says in a uncommon spoiled child-like method and falls to the ground once more to develop into a seal on the seaside.

I recall the distinction between seals and sea lions that Sendai-san taught me, and Maika and I talk about the summer season trip that’s nonetheless happening in September. Then we determine to satisfy once more and go someplace for enjoyable earlier than faculty begins, and after we each have dinner, we take the prepare dwelling.

Up the steps to the third ground, I open the entrance door to seek out Sendai-san’s footwear, which she stated she wouldn’t go anyplace as we speak. I don’t know if she actually didn’t exit, however she appears to be dwelling.

After I went to the frequent area, Sendai-san got here out of her room and stated,「Welcome again」to which I replied,「I’m dwelling.」

「Utsunomiya, how have you ever been?」

Sendai-san, who has typically been in a superb temper because the begin of summer season trip, says with a downcast look on her face.

「I used to be high-quality. I used to be tanned and wholesome.」

「Then that’s good.」

「Right here, a memento. You two can eat it collectively.」

After I give Sendai-san the memento Maika gave me, she asks,「Would you like some now?」Having simply eaten a meal, I used to be not hungry and replied,「Tomortoe is ok,」Sendai-san sat down in her chair, maybe intending to speak slowly.

「Did you have got enjoyable as we speak?」

「Nicely, I haven’t seen her shortly. I plan to go to once more through the holidays.」

「And when is that?」

「I haven’t determined but.」

「I see.」

Sendai-san blurted out and tried to rise up from the chair she had simply sat down in. I opened my mouth, not wanting her to return to her room, though there was nothing I actually wished to speak about.

「Sendai-san, are you going dwelling for winter trip?」

「I’m not going dwelling. I’m pondering of doing a brief time period job that I can solely do throughout winter break.」

I squeezed my hand as I obtained the reply I anticipated and the one I didn’t anticipate.

「What about your tutor job?」

「Aside from that.」

「…Extra part-time work?」

I see Sendai-san, who’s working much more part-time along with her tutoring job, which remains to be unacceptable.

As a tutor, her scholar overlap an excessive amount of with my previous self.

Despite the fact that I do know she would by no means do to her scholar what she did to me, I don’t really feel higher when she’s working part-time. It additionally takes up Sendai-san’s time, and I nonetheless want she would stop.

I as soon as thought that I may forgive her if it had been one other part-time job, however I don’t suppose I may settle for not solely Sendai-san who tutors, but in addition Sendai-san who does different part-time jobs.

「I intend to. Is Miyagi going dwelling?」

Sendai-san appears at me.

「I received’t return.」

「Then, do you need to go someplace collectively for winter break?」

「If you wish to add a part-time job, you don’t have that form of time.」

「I don’t intend so as to add a lot that I can’t go anyplace.」

Sendai-san smiles at me, and I really feel like kissing her for no cause.

Why?

Why is Sendai-san totally different from everybody else?

I don’t need her to be particular, however nobody else can take her place. Despite the fact that I don’t need her presence to develop in my life, it positively does, and being along with her makes me need to do one thing I wouldn’t do with anybody else for no cause.

I attain out and contact Sendai-san’s lips.

I press my fingertips arduous towards them, and Sendai-san closes her eyes as if it had been a matter after all.

After I deliver my lips collectively, I can really feel her warmth even earlier than I contact her.

I shut my eyes and chew down on her lip, attempting not to have a look at my emotions.

Sendai-san pulls herself up and grabs my arm.

The tougher I set my tooth, the stronger her hand grabs my arm.

I don’t imply to place a scar on her lips, however I’ll need to put a mark on it in order that I can simply see the place Sendai-san is and what she is doing. She is just not mine, however I need to make a mark that anybody however me can see.

I chew her gentle, soon-to-be-bloodied lips heavy, arduous, and launch her.

「…It harm like loopy, you recognize.」

Sendai-san complained and stroked her lips along with her finger. Then, after checking that there was no blood on her fingertips, she let loose a small breath.

「For those who get indignant…」

I’m unfair.

I say this realizing that Sendai-san is not going to get actually indignant.

「I’m used to Miyagi doing issues that don’t make sense.」

She stated dismissively, and Sendai-san stood up.

However she didn’t return to her room.

「Are you in dangerous temper?」

Then she tugs frivolously on my bangs.

「I’m not.」

There is no such thing as a lie within the phrases I spoke.

So to show it, I kissed her lips.
