“Tired.”

I sigh deeply as soon as I leave the office today, a little stressed out from hard work and relationships. But this is not a sigh of despair. If anything, I would say it is a sigh of relief.

There is an end. I will quit this company and go to a new one. With such a goal, a person can overcome any hardship.

Moreover, I have an appointment today.

Dinner with Ai nee

It’s been a long time since we met, so I guess she just wants to know what I’ve been doing as a childhood friend. Nothing more, nothing less.

I am also somewhat interested in what kind of life the three Kirie sisters have led since the accident. How can three people who experienced despair when they were young be so radiant, how can they smile so brightly? That is what I want to know.

So I am wearing a slightly expensive suit today.

The time is 18:30.

The meeting time is 19:00, so I have to hurry.

Fine dining in an office district

At first I was looking for a stylish restaurant on my phone, but Ai nee sent me a message saying, “Leave it to your onee chan,” and she took care of everything, even making the reservations. I wanted to show her how good I was, but it would have been even more embarrassing if I had stretched myself too thin and exposed my ugliness, so I left it to her.

Once inside the restaurant, I looked around. I had been working as a developer for a long time, so most of my dinners were held in small, dirty pubs. So, being in an unfamiliar place, I let out a small breath and was shown to my seat by an employee.

There,

A beautiful woman with long black hair in a ponytail and glasses was sitting there. She was wearing a suit, and her well-defined eyes, nose, and body were so attractive that the men eating next to her were glancing at her. But she paid no attention to them, and was staring at her slim laptop computer.

But when the beautiful woman noticed my presence, she quickly put away her laptop and waved me over. I waved to her and sat down in the seat across from her.

“You have a lot of nerve making me wait. Fufu.”

“Sorry, the train’s running late.”

“The train?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, I guess you have no choice”

At first glance, Ai nee’s words sounded like coercive speech, but she had always had a quiet personality, so I felt rather nostalgic.

“Let’s talk after we eat for now. I’m hungry.”

“Ah, Yeah.”

I ate the food brought to me, feeling a little uncomfortable at the mysterious power of Ai nee’s words and expression.

During the meal, I tried to look at Ai nee while eating, but her breasts were showing off their size, so I quickly looked away and concentrated on eating.

Soon after we finished eating, tea time arrived.

“How are Ai nee and others doing?”

I asked her, and she took her lips away from her coffee cup and said

“Yes, we’re very healthy right now. We’re doing very well.”

“I see. That’s good.”

“I feel better now that I’m reunited with Yu-chan.”

“! Stop joking around. ……”

“Fufu.”

Ai nee is staring at me with her bright brown eyes narrowed. The fascination never fades even through the lenses of the glasses. I tried to cover it up with another story.

“What are you doing, by the way?”

“We are. ……”

With a thoughtful look on her face, Ai nee suddenly reached into her pocket and pulled out a business card case. She took out a business card from it and handed it to me. I took it and skimmed through it to see what it said.

Reganda Co.

President and Representative Director

Kirie Ai

“!”

“I started a company with Arisa and Sera a few years ago. I’m a small company that sells clothes. Arisa does all the business work here, while Sera works as an exclusive model and in public relations.”

“The logo and name …… look familiar from a department store near the station.”

As soon as Ai nee heard the word “job change,” she rolled her eyes and asked me back, staring at my eyes until they were piercing.

The dark-haired, bespectacled beauty who had always exuded an intellectual, calm, and mature atmosphere seemed to be shaken up.

However, Ai nee’s expression gradually changes. Her cheeks are cherry-red, and she keeps looking at me greedily.

I gulped hard at her unexplainable reaction, and then sipped from my coffee cup. The atmosphere was a little awkward. However, a sense of relief flooded from deep within me.

They are alive and well, aren’t they? AI nee, Arisa, and Sera……

I was so happy about that that my cheeks loosened up. So I decided to tell Ai nee how I feel.

“I’ve been thinking about you guys ever since we separated. But I’m so relieved to see you’re doing so well.”

“!”

It was the moment I resolved a problem that had plagued me somewhere in my mind for years. All that remained was to cheer on the three sisters from a distance.

With this in mind, I stood up.

I had drunk all my coffee, and it was already late at night.

Tomorrow would be another weekday, so there was no point in staying long.

It was time to go.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

With these words, I turned on my heel and headed for the cash register.

Let’s pay the bill while I go to the restroom. Then let’s get out of here.

“E-Eh!? Wait, wait…… the same expression …… as that time …….”

I thought I heard something behind me, but it wasn’t anything I would have to worry about. She’s that beautiful and capable. No other man would leave her alone. So, meet a man who loves you, forget about your sad past, and live happily ever after. I came to the cash register with this desire in my heart.

“Well, …… she already paid for it ……”

“Eh?”

“Wait! Yu-chan!”

When I turned around, I saw Ai nee looking at me with a sad expression on her face, her breath bubbling out of her mouth. Her long, thin legs were shaking and she was exhaling sexily, her brown eyes

Her brown eyes caught me exactly.

“Don’t go. ……”

“Eh?”
