Never Not
Ch. 76: Want to Be Together Longer

The old geezer's prophecy made Rai flinch. "What kind of forecast is that? You said dangerous things to get me to come back to you next time, right? If only like that I can also predict, I predict you will fall asleep if sleepy and eat if hungry" ketus Rai while staring at the back of the old grandfather who turned his back.

He laughed without a sound while turning his body.

"You're not forced to believe this. But if you are close to him, there is no harm in warning the man of the storm that comes in a row in his life," the old man said with a glance that led to Shohei.

Rai walked nonchalantly leaving the old grandfather. As an ex-con, of course he does not believe in such things. Because, once he often pretended to be a fortune teller to ensnare the target class of big bosses.

At eight o'clock last night, Yuriko had just finished preparing dinner dishes for Shohei. After returning home from the cafe, he returned to the apartment to cook. Yes, as a house assistant, in addition to cleaning the apartment, it has become his duty to prepare breakfast and dinner for the man even though they have not met lately. He can divide his college time by working part-time here. In fact, the girl had attended a number of cooking training held for free for the sake of being truly proficient at cooking.

All food that has been arranged on the dining table, has been coated with plastic wrap to maintain its freshness.

"Yes! Finally finished too. Huaahhh .. This is a new menu that I practiced from yesterday's training. I hope the police like it!"

Yuriko looked at the wall clock that had shown the figure of eight nights.

"Is the police still working? Does he not have a day off?" yuriko thought for a moment because it was a Sunday, but Shohei was nowhere to be seen in her house, "ah, no problem! I'll understand all his work!" it was as if he was the man's partner.

Time to jump at ten o'clock in the night. Now, Yuriko has returned to her apartment. Just about to lay his body on the bed, there was the sound of the door being knocked in a row and noisy. Grumbling, the girl stepped lazily open the door.

"'Konbanwa!" greet Rai with a bang as soon as the door opens.

"Why come knocking on the door these nights like a debt collector?" yuriko growled with annoyance.

"Come, guess what I brought!" The man seemed to be hiding something from behind his back.

"What else do you bring besides often bringing up a commotion in front of my room!" yuriko said while holding her arms.

"Don't say evil to me like that, because I'm being kind to you." Rai blinked his eyes while showing the food box with a luxurious design.

Yuriko's eyes were bright. When he was about to take the food box, Rai immediately went back to hide it. The man instead barged into Yuriko's room and sat down at the small table that used to be a place to eat.

Yuriko sat down on Rai's side. Suddenly the girl became as sweet as a kitten. His eyes widened perfectly when he saw the cheese cake Rai had eaten while they were in the luxurious cafe this afternoon.

"This ...." Yuriko's voice choked.

Rai thrust the expensive cake at Yuriko as she put her hands together, allowing the girl to eat it. Apparently, after returning home from the ghost rides, Rai returned to the cafe only to buy Yuriko a piece of cheese cake.

"Eat!" the man said as he gently patted Yuriko on the head, "Oyasumi," she said, standing up and about to get out.

"What about the food?" ask Yuriko slowly while staring at the cheese cake.

"Quiet down! It's not me who paid for it," Rai replied simply.

"Actually ... You came there for a date, right? That's why you asked me to quickly take my friends away," Yuriko guessed suddenly.

"There's a woman's perfume that sticks strongly in your body. I know it must be Chanel's brand. Your date must be a rich man's son. I can detect a person's social status with just the perfume they use" Yuriko said.

Rai remained silent. Reflexively, his memory is flashed as he helps Seina out of the ghost ride. Yes, the perfume that was attached to her body was certainly that of the girl. Especially while in the vehicle, he continued to hold it.

This time, Rai did not reply to Yuriko's words, as if letting the girl stick to her thoughts.

Just as Rai was about to open the doorknob, Yuriko again said, "Whatever it is ... Arigatou gozaimasu, the best neighbor!"

"Gum." Rai nodded without turning around, then decided to move towards his room. When he was outside, Rai lifted his coat while sniffing. It seems he wanted to confirm the perfume's scent.

Yuriko immediately tasted the cheese that made her tempted this afternoon. His eyes were tightly closed when a single mouthful had entered his mouth.

"Oishi! It's really delicious! Why is the food always so good?"

On the other hand, Shohei was on his way to drive Seina home. Along the way, the girl recounts her childhood as the son her father raised one and the things she feared so much until now.

"I'm afraid of watching horror movies. You see, after watching, I will have difficulty sleeping because I continue to imagine ghosts. It seems, I can't sleep tonight either" said Seina chuckling.

"Gomen. I'm not taking you there anymore." Shohei's head bowed with a sense of regret.

"Ah, I'm making you feel guilty!" Seina leaned her head, then quieted for a moment while daydreaming about something. "But .. luckily I met your friend and asked him to take me out of that place. If not, maybe I've fallen unconscious" he recalled recalling some of the protective measures Rai had given him.

"Hontou ni gomennasai." As he ran out of words, Shohei again apologized without making much noise.

For some reason, he suddenly worries about his relationship with the girl as the time to complete the mission gets closer. Although her feelings for Seina had been spilled, but it was as if something was stuck in her heart. Yes, especially Shohei is a man who always puts logic ahead of his emotions.

Not felt, the car had brought them up in front of Mr. Matsumoto's residence. Seina took off her seatbelt while looking at the parking lot.

"It looks like papa's not coming home anymore" said Seina as she prepared to get out of the car. However, he gasped when Shohei held his wrist to make him turn his head.

"Let me stay at your house and accompany you tonight" Shohei said. This time, the sentence appeared on his own initiative. Not at Seina's request like that time, nor was it part of Rai's advice.

Seina's pair of eyebrows looked wrinkled. "Are you worried because I won't be able to sleep because of the ghost ride?"

Shohei shook his head slowly. "Because I want to be with you longer" he said, staring at the girl's jet netra.
