CH 4

Lydia took out the new smartphone she had just bought and showed me the screen.

“Hey, Oojirou. Can we exchange contacts on Line?”

“Oh, we haven’t exchanged it yet, have we?”

“Yeah, let’s exchange them.”

“Okay. Add me as a friend with this QR code.”

I quickly pulled out my phone from my left pocket and asked her to add me as a friend. My parents told me to take care of Lydia, and …… I live with her, so it’s not a problem. I need it in case of an emergency.

“Thank you ♪.”

She happily added it and immediately sent me a mysterious sticker. I wonder what it is, this character of a cat with a helmet. It’ s pointing its index finger somewhere and saying, “Yosh!” and strikes a strange pose.

“Hey, Lydia.”

“No!”

“No?”

“Call me Lida!”

“Oh, that’s what you used to call yourself. Okay, I’m going to call you Lida, just to be nice.”

“Yay!”

When I called her by her nickname, she seemed very happy.

When she smiles at me with such a dazzling smile, I can’ t even get angry. In fact, it seemed to cleanse my heart. She’s an angel.

Just when I was feeling defeated by Lida’s big smile…

“Impure relationships are prohibited there!”

A crisp voice stops me in my tracks.

What!?
