Earlier than going to the lecture corridor, I cease by the toilet and stand in entrance of the mirror.

I take out the lipstick that Sendai-san gave me out of my bag.

After I take off the cap, I odor the candy perfume and bear in mind the dream I had immediately.

I name Hazuki.

I, who appeal to Sendai-san.

Her softness and smoothness got here again to me, and I shook my head as if I used to be pondering one thing terribly disgusting.

It’s simply caught in my head as a result of I’ve had two related goals in a brief time period.

I informed myself to look within the mirror and noticed my lips, which weren’t painted with something. I stroked them with my fingertips they usually slid over my lips with out getting caught.

It’s not tough.

Unsure if I ought to apply a lipstick.

I exhale and chunk my lip.

I shut the cap and tuck the lipstick into my bag.

I apply the lipstick after coming to the college, as a result of it’s troublesome to make use of it at dwelling as a result of Sendai-san may say one thing about it. However not immediately. I had an odd dream and I’m not within the temper. The candy odor jogs my memory of kissing Sendai-san and extra. I don’t wish to dream a bit of too huge and get caught up in all of it.

It’s all, all of it’s Sendai-san’s fault.

I flip my again on the me within the mirror and head for the lecture corridor.

Maybe it’s due to the lengthy summer time trip, however I really feel as if summer time remains to be occurring in October. Possibly I really feel that approach much more so as a result of there are days after I nonetheless really feel sizzling, although not so sizzling that I want air con, and there are days after I really feel like consuming ice cream. Even after I’m in school, I can’t get summer time out of my head and wish to hang around at dwelling and watch the penguins on the aquarium.

With a hazy head, I stroll down the hallway, open the door, and enter the lecture corridor. After I appeared across the two-thirds full, buzzing room for Maika, I shortly discovered a well-known face.

「Morning.」

I name out to Maika, who replies,「Good morning,」and sits down subsequent to me.

「Hmmm? You’re not carrying lipstick immediately.」

Maika, seeing my face, says in a light-weight voice, and I reply with an equally gentle「sure.」

I exploit it as a result of Sendai-san gave it to me as a birthday current.

When she noticed me making use of the lipstick that Sendai-san gave me for the primary time, she requested,「Are you going to cease someplace in your approach dwelling?」I answered sure to Maika, who requested me, since then, it has change into a matter in fact that I’m making use of the lipstick. I recognize that it isn’t thought of unnatural to put on a lipstick, nevertheless it’s a bit of troublesome to be thought of unnatural if I don’t.

Sendai-san interferes in my life whether or not she is there or not.

「That lipstick is good, isn’t it? It’s identical to Sendai-san.」

「Actually?」

「Sure. It seems good on Shiori. Possibly I’ll have her decide one out for me too.」

Maika, along with her fantastically coloured lips, says in a shiny voice.

I do know that at occasions like this, I ought to actually be saying issues like, “Let’s all buy groceries collectively,” or “Come to my home.” However I’m the one who doesn’t wish to converse such widespread phrases.

I don’t need Maika to fulfill Sendai-san.

I strongly agree.

Sendai-san makes me really feel extremely small-minded. So, I can now not do what I can take without any consideration as a pal.

My mouth doesn’t open as if sealed with glue.

However, if I stored quiet, I felt a ache within the pit of my abdomen as if Maika would contact Sendai-san and we’d each go to search for a lipstick.

Underneath the desk, fingers clenched.

My fingernails dug into my palms, however I nonetheless clenched my fingers, and Maika jogged my memory.

「Come to consider it, Sendai-san’s birthday is in August, isn’t it?」

「Sure, it’s August.」

I reply shortly and slowly open my hand.

「What does she like, Sendai-san? Not issues, however folks or locations.」

「A cat, I suppose?」

「Ahhh, a cat! I don’t know if I prefer it sufficient to exit of my technique to discover it on my days off.」

「I believe she likes it.」

I would give Sendai-san some cat items for her birthday subsequent 12 months.

Given the stream of the dialog, Maika was prone to say one thing like that, so I requested her.

「Maika. Why don’t we now have dinner and go dwelling immediately?」

Since Maika has gotten to know Sendai-san properly sufficient to communicate along with her, it wouldn’t be shocking if she gave him a present, or she might give her a present with out telling her. So I do know it doesn’t matter what Maika says now, but when it’s about presents, I don’t assume I wish to hear it.

「What about Sendai-san?」

「Working part-time.」

「Is it a part-time job on the new café she began?」

「Sure. She mentioned she’d be dwelling late immediately.」

I wish to be with somebody if I can, as a result of I really feel like I’m dwelling alone immediately and I’m excited about pointless issues.

「Sendai-san is superb, isn’t she? She’s working part-time. I had a picture of school college students having free time, when actually they’re fairly busy.」

「I don’t assume she must work a lot, however she needs to work throughout winter break too.」

「Sendai-san is totally different from the picture I had of her in highschool. I didn’t have the picture of her tutoring or working part-time on a regular basis. The previous picture of her was that she’d be part of a circle and have enjoyable.」

「Certainly. And Ibaraki-san and the others have been fancy.」

Maika nodded at my phrases.

There was a time when Sendai-san, who was at all times with Ibaraki-san, who stood out in school, was near my picture of Ibaraki-san as properly. Now that picture is nowhere to be discovered. Sendai-san has been reconstructed in my thoughts and has change into the Sendai-san that solely I do know.

「Ohh, proper. Would you wish to have dinner immediately on the cafe the place Sendai-san works part-time?」

「Eh, why?」

Maika abruptly mentioned one thing surprising and I couldn’t assist however ask again.

「Why, as a result of I wish to see Sendai-san working. Don’t you wish to see her too, Shiori?」

I wish to know her with a part-time job.

However I don’t actually wish to see it.

I can’t truthfully say I wish to see her as a result of I’m afraid that if I knew the brand new surroundings surrounding her, I’d need her to stop her part-time job much more strongly than she does now.

「I didn’t get the small print of the place she works.」

「Effectively, let’s ask her. I’m certain she’ll get again to us earlier than we go away.」

I mentioned in a panic as Maika pulled out her cellphone from her bag.

「I’ve a restaurant I wish to go to immediately.」

「The place?」

「The final time I used to be right here, Asakura-san informed me about this place.」

She named a pal she met when she began school.

「Oh, the cafe with the lovable cream soda?」

「Yeah–yeah.」

「That’s the place I wished to go, too. We could go to Sendai-san’s place another time?」

As I nod vaguely at Maika’s phrases, the door opens and the instructor enters.

The category begins instantly, however the content material doesn’t stick in my head.

Attributable to the truth that I had been speaking about Sendai-san till simply earlier than, she was taking on the vast majority of my time, and I had no place to maintain the voices I heard, nor did my fingers transfer to take notes.

Not like the tutoring job, I can go see if I can get a job at a restaurant.

I had considered this a number of occasions, however when Maika informed me, I turned conscious of it once more. Sendai-san additionally mentioned that I ought to come to her place to have dinner.

A time that may by no means be mine.

It’s miserable to think about myself simply watching it.

I don’t wish to give it some thought an excessive amount of, so I push the part-time job out of my thoughts, and now the dream I had this morning comes head to head.

Sendai-san might have had an identical dream.

If that’s the case, what sort of me am I in her goals?

Many occasions I take into consideration issues that I’ve by no means considered earlier than.

In the long run, I finish the day unable to focus on my courses and go along with Maika to a café that isn’t Sendai-san’s part-time job.

Whereas Sendai-san works part-time, we chat nonsense. I don’t know in regards to the menu at Sendai-san’s part-time job, however the cream soda at this cafe is cute and the meals is scrumptious, simply as Asakura-san mentioned. Even being with Maika is enjoyable. That doesn’t change even when Sendai-san is working part-time.

Time flies by and I half methods with Maika.

Returning dwelling, I activate the sunshine within the widespread house and sit down in a chair.

Sendai-san hasn’t returned but.

I’m pissed off that she has not returned, regardless that I used to be informed she can be late.

My thoughts was a multitude all day immediately.

Sendai-san is making me a multitude.

I ought to’ve been used to being alone, however I can’t get used to not having Sendai-san round. I ought to have been used to individuals who mentioned they’d come dwelling and by no means returned, however simply the late return of Sendai-san, whom I do know will return, makes me anxious. It ought to have been enjoyable earlier, however it’s not enjoyable as a result of Sendai-san is working part-time.

On the desk, I take out a lipstick from my bag and stand it up.

「…Hazuki.」

I do know nobody is there, however I name out in a small voice.

Shortly, shortly, shortly.

As quickly as attainable.

I want you’ll come again, Sendai-san.
