CH 19

The day after Mitoma-san’s older sister left, the final day of Miyuki’s open-campus tour had also started. Mitoma-san and I spent our time like usual at our respective home, excluding the dinner, as she would always come to our place to cook something amazing everyday.

The Golden week was already over, the current time was 18:00 and I was arranging the necessary things and shift schedule for my private tutoring job for the next day. My whole day had already passed, finishing the experiments, reports and assignments.

“Ah… I wonder if Miyuki will be back soon.”

I stopped and stretched my body. 

This was a common problem for computer science students in the engineering department, as staring at a computer screen for too long would cause our neck and shoulders to stiffen. I wasn’t well-versed in anatomy, but my neck and shoulder region felt so stiff that it was really getting painful for me to bare it anymore.

After stretching, I stood up from my seat and went to the kitchen to make some barley tea. I hadn’t had a drink in hours, so I filled a cup with the tea I had brewed and drank it all in one gulp.

“Ah… that hits the spot.”

Nothing is as delicious as barley tea after work. It’s better to say that it’s a tea specially made for after work time, rather than an alcoholic drink .

“Phew… now, all I have to do is compile everything and submit it to the professor’s email. Easy peasy.”

Compared to when I was in high school, it seems that submitting assignments has become much easier. Back then, I had to come to school early and give the assignments directly to the teacher, and if I forgot, I had to go all the way back to school.

My high school was known for its free school culture, but the deadlines were absolute, and if you didn’t turn them in, you wouldn’t get in trouble, but you wouldn’t get any credit either.

Compared to those nostalgic memories… in university, I can submit my assignments anytime, and as long as I have a smartphone, I can do it from anywhere.

Anyway, I shouldn’t be thinking about the good things about university. I need to get ready before Miyuki comes back. I want to help Mitoma-san in cooking today and settle down about that matter.

While I was thinking about that, I received a LINE message from Miyuki.

“I made a new friend today and we’re going out to eat! Don’t worry about my portion of dinner!”

Haah… This girl is really giving me headaches now. She even spent an emote saying ‘idiot’ at the end of her message. It looks like she is enjoying her final day here. Unlike me, she is good at holding conversations and can make friends relatively easily.

But I’m glad that she is enjoying her final day.

If she chooses to get admitted to our university, it will be easier financially for us to stay in the same apartment with me. Certainly, some apartments in our area are spacious enough for two people to live in it.

Well, anyways, let’s contact Mitoma-san.

And, 30 minutes later.

When I contacted Mitoma-san and told her that I was alone at home, she came instantly to my apartment.

But that was not the surprising part, I was baffled that she came here in less than a minute.

Even though the distance should be about 500m… It means she covered every 100 meters in about 6 seconds. Both Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin would have been flabbergasted if they heard about it.

[TL/N : Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin are record holding sprinters. In a 100 meters sprint, Usian Bolt has a world record of 9.58 seconds and Justin Gatlin has a personal best of 9.74 seconds.]

After she excitedly came in with a charming smile adoring her beautiful face, both of us were now in the kitchen and discussing tonight’s dinner. 

“Well, it’s been a long time since the two of us had had dinner together—”

“Wait, has it really been that long?”

“Un, the last time we ate dinner alone was about two days ago.”

“Are you sure that it is a long time?”

“—For me, it’s a long time even if it’s two days.”

“Oh, I see… Well, that depends on the person.”

“Because I enjoy eating with senpai when it’s just the two of us… time always seems to pass slowly whenever we are alone.” She murmured.

“Hmm? What takes longer?”

“Ahh~ come to think of it, senpai’s beard has grown too long.”

“Eh? Seriously?”

“Yes, it’s growing a little bit.”

“Wow… it hasn’t been that long since I last trimmed my beard.”

“No, well, you don’t really have to trim it again. I like senpai with a beard too.”

“Really? I often hear that girls don’t like beards…”

“It’s not true! I want to touch senpai’s beard.”

“Huh?”

“Nothing. Anyway, let’s go to the supermarket quickly! It’s getting dark outside!”

“Wait, let me shave…”

I somehow escaped from her clutches as she didn’t intend to let me go anytime soon and was repeatedly saying that I was fine even with my overgrown beard. She was even saying that it was too precious to get disposed of.

[PoV] Suzune Mitoma :

Wow, Senpai with a beard looks really cool.

He looks mature, s-xy… and most of all, the veins bulging from his arm and his cool face look great together.

In general, any woman who says that it doesn’t suit him is just trash. After all, I am the only girl that senpai can have.

Ehehe~, I’ll accept anything about my senpai! Back in the living room… I wanted to touch Senpai’s beard really badly. 

Oh, maybe I’ll even collect the ones that have already been shaved? 

[TL/N : “…..”]

Ehehe~, other people would definitely dislike something like that, but the fact that it is of Senpai make me feel excited

Haah… My fantasies are getting even more exciting.

At this rate I might develop some weird fetish.
