“You don’t run. I’m just not in the mood.”

“I hope so. Thanks… Saotome……”

“No problem. Let’s go to the convenience store.”

She turned off the engine and got off.

Thank God, I was on the verge of running off, but I guess Saotome had some common sense.

◆

I could see the stars very well on the island, probably because there were not many streetlights. It was great to walk …… with Saotome under the starry sky.

“I wonder if there are aliens here.”

Suddenly, Saotome made a strange remark.

I don’t know how I feel about that. I used to be addicted to shows about UFOs and UMAs.

“What, you were an occult enthusiast too?”

“Yes, in junior high school, I was a member of the occult research club as well as the swimming club.”

Oh~, the occult research club. Wow, I can’t imagine the present Saotome. But it’s a good hobby, and as a fan of science fiction, I think she would make a great conversation partner.

We continued talking about the occult and arrived at the convenience store.

We quickly finished our shopping and returned to the apartment.

“That was fun, Saotome.”

“We talked about UFOs, ghosts, and science fiction movies. I wish we had more time. ……”

“We’ll talk some other time. Right now, Lida is waiting for you with an empty stomach.”

“That’s true. Okay, let’s move on.”

We went up to the front door and went straight to Lida’s room.

When I knocked on the door, there was a short reply, “Come in,” so I went in. Then I saw Lida flicking on her phone.

“I’m glad to see you’re doing well, Lida.”

“Yeah, Azusa put a compress on me and I’m fine! But I’m hungry…”

“We bought some bentos from a convenience store. Let’s eat together.”

“Sounds good!”

…… Ha!

Eating with a Russian girl and a beautiful blonde girl this late at night? I’ve been treating them so naturally, but when I think about it, it’s a terrible situation for me.

Well, …… fine!

It was too late now.

It’s not a big deal to have dinner together. For now, let’s just enjoy this precious moment.

I ate my yakiniku bento while watching the anime “Nekomimi no Maid no Eir-san” on a streaming site. Saotome, who apparently didn’t know about the anime, was completely hooked on Eir-san.

“I never knew there was such an interesting anime. I didn’t know that.”

“You don’t watch anime, do you, Saotome?”

“I only watch foreign dramas because of my mom.”

“Oh, foreign dramas?”

“Yeah. I watch them on Netflix. Recently, I’ve been watching Game of Thrones.”

Lida’s twitching reaction increased the tension.

“Azusa-chan, you’re watching foreign dramas on streaming sites. I also watch them on Netflix and Amazon Plus.”

“It’s so convenient these days.”

As we continued to talk about this, it was already around midnight. This is not good.

“I’m sorry, but I’m going to get some work done.”

“Oojirou, are you leaving?”

“It’s okay, Lida. Saotome is staying with us today.”

“Seriously! Yay, I like you so much, Azusa-chan! ♡”

Lida was relieved when she learned this fact. However, we have school tomorrow. I’ll consider it.

“Well then, have a nice evening, Saotome.”

“Uh… can I use your bathroom?”

“Oh, okay…”

Saotome will use the bath… I don’t know, I’m usually around Lida a lot, so I wasn’t aware of it, but when it comes to Saotome, it’s different.

A naked Saootome in the bath ……?

No, don’t think about it, me. Let the worldly desires go!

I went back to my room.

I went back to my room, and about ten minutes later, I got a “beep” on my phone.

“Hmm, a line?”

When I opened the screen, there was a message from “Saotome”.

Jesus, did she send it from the bath?

When I looked at it, it said, ‘Thank you for letting me stay here today. I heard from Lida that you two were living together. I’m a little shocked that it’s true, but I had a great time today.’

…… Ah! I’ve been living a very normal day, but I guess I forgot to tell her. It’s really too late now……. I can’t help it if I’m already exposed.

I message her back.

“Thank you, too. Especially for taking such good care of Lida.”

“No problem. I like the relationship between the two of you, and I support you …….”

“I see. I’m sorry about that, Saotome.”

“Yeah, I think it’s time you called me by my name. You can call me Azusa.”

…… A name, huh?

I was more comfortable with the surname, and I was completely comfortable with Saotome. However, I decided to use it as a sign of respect since she had taken care of me so well.

“All right, Azusa. Keep up the good work.”

“… Yeah ♡”

I received a message from Saotome, or rather Azusa, along with a photo.

“Wow …!”

This is what they call a “hand bra” or …… a very risqué picture. If Lida found out about this, she’d probably kill me.

But it was a nice gift.

I’ll keep it as a family heirloom!
