Chapter 29: The Spring Breeze is Mint Blue

Chapter 29: The Spring Breeze is Mint Blue

Thanks to my thriving business, I finally got an apartment of my own.

This marks the end of my life in Bottakuro.

It’s a small apartment that only consists of two rooms and a kitchenette, but it’s nice and comfortable for a single person to stay in.

No matter what other people say, I’m glad that I no longer had to endure verbal abuses like “I’ll kill you!” or “Get the f*ck outta here!” just for making a slight noise.

However, there’s still a problem.

There’s this guy who keeps on coming to visit me every day......

[I bought the ingredients for our meal. I’ll cook us dinner.]

When I opened the door, I found Minerva behind the door again today.

[You’re here again......]

[I’m going to make stew today.]

Minerva walked into my kitchenette, looking quite accustomed to my place.

For some reason, my kitchenette ended up becoming Minerva’s camp, where he stored many of his personal belongings.

[You know, why the heck are you storing strange tools in my home again?]

[This is a cookware called a blender. ......Am I bothering you?]

[I don’t mind now, but when I get a girlfriend, I’m sure she’ll hate you being here.]

[You got a girlfriend!?]

[No, I don’t have a girlfriend yet. However, even I want to eventually have one. I don’t think it would look good if I had a male friend who came into my house every day.]

[That’s right. Guys like that are nothing but trouble!]

[Right? So, when I get a girlfriend, take all your stuff here and bring them back home.]

[Umu......]

Minerva nodded honestly.

[Yuusuke really wants to have a girlfriend?]

[That’s obvious, having a girlfriend makes life more enjoyable. We can talk about various things and go on dates, having one would enrich your life, don’t you think?]

Minerva nodded in agreement. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

[Besides, it’s not like I’m some sort of saint or anything like that. Even I want enjoyment in my nightlife.]

[Nightlife!?]

[Is that really so surprising? Do you not feel the desire to do that, Minerva?]

[No...... To be honest, I’m interested...... quite interested......]

This guy, even with all his eccentricities, is just like me.

You freaking closet pervert!

[However, if Minerva stayed over every night, you wouldn’t be able to do that, right?]

[Umu......]

[It’s not like I hate you, Minerva. It’s just, no matter how good of a friendship we have, I don’t think it’s right for you to stay over every night. Do you understand?]

[I understand. In other words, Yuusuke wants to be with your lover all the time.]

[All the time......? Well, I guess you can say that......]

I think it would be a bit stifling being together with someone all the time though.

I let myself fall into the pleasant world of dreams.

[Alright. I’ll be gentle......]

Before I let go of my consciousness, I felt like Minerva said something.

[That’s...... a good...... thing...... z z z z z z.]

◇◆◇

I gently removed my mask in front of the drunk Yuusuke.

The magic robe that hides my womanly body is also taken off on the floor.

If Yuusuke wakes up now......

A mixture of anxiety and anticipation clenched in my chest.

I picked up Yuusuke, who was sleeping defenselessly, and carried him to bed.

[Geez, you really are helpless without me......]

Yuusuke doesn’t wake up even when I poked his cheek with my finger.

Should I do the usual thing now that I have the chance?

I quietly crawled next to Yuusuke and snuggled up to him.

Feeling his body warmth on my skin, I’m also feeling sleepy.

How happy would I be if I could just fall asleep right here next to Yuusuke?

[Someone gentle huh......]

If that’s what Yuusuke wanted, I felt like I could be as kind as I could be.

◇

My head hurts. I’m completely hungover.

I must have drunk too much last night.

[Here, drink some water.]

Minerva magically produced a glass of water for me.

[Thanks.]

Every dry cell in my body is starting to get moistened.

[Fuuu...... Feels like I’m coming back to life.]

I feel like I’ve been relying on Minerva a lot lately......

[Do you want to take the day off work today?]

[No, I can’t do that. I’ve got a lot of regulars waiting for me.]

I take out one of my snacks.

Product name: Sky Mints – Blue

Description: Refreshing mint-flavored soft candy. Eating this will help sober you up.

The spring breeze blows in through the window Minerva has opened.

The smell of flowers whose names I don’t know mingled with the scent of mint and wafted through my nose.
