Chapter 6: Visiting Friends
Chapter 6 Friend Visits
Since that cleaning, it seems like the wall between Amane and Mahiru has eroded a little, but the distance between them does not close.
Even at school, they were strangers, and even after school, they would only exchange words while sharing dinner.
A few days ago, Amane was reminded to keep his house clean. He was rude, but he understood very well how he liked to take care of others.
And it was because of the timely cleaning reminders and advice he gave that Amane's house has remained clean ever since.
” Ooh, it looks much better.”
As soon as she heard the apartment looked better, Itsuki came running on the weekend. As soon as he saw this completely new home, all he could do was be amazed with astonishment.
“ Never thought it would be so clean, especially when it was so messy. I did help you clean up last time, and it got dirty a few days later. “
” Silent.”
” No, I don't want to nag you, but think about how long since you last threw something all over the place.”
“ Don't worry, it's a new record. Two weeks in a row. “
” Can you be embarrassed because your new record is only two weeks?”
You don't usually throw your items on the floor. When Itsuki nagged, Amane frowned, but the latter could not resist the goodwill of honesty and common sense.
In fact, before Mahiru helped, she had caused Itsuki trouble, so she could not retaliate harshly.
Grrr, as Amane stood up, Itsuki chirped happily. “But yeah, because it is very clean, I want to bring Chii.”
” Don't. Why should I see you two flirting with each other in my house? ” “You don't have to be polite.”
” Don't think of my house as a dating place.”
How tragic would it be for him to see his friend messing around with his girlfriend?
After seeing what others called the idiot couple being friendly, he hoped that they could show him some attention.
While he knew Itsuki was joking, he could not laugh considering he had seen them every day.
” Well, enough with jokes. I guess it's not gonna get dirty right now because it's so clean, is it? ” “I've dealt with it.”
” So I said .. whatever. It is good to have the habit of returning the items you picked up ”
” Are you my mother ..?”
” Seriously, Amannneee, you should start cleaning the house often, know ~?” “It sounds disgusting, and it sounds disgusting similar to mom. You're scary. ” Amane feels his spine goosebumps when Itsuki makes a false impression on his mother. While Itsuki has never seen Amane's mother, it's scary how much she looks like.
Furthermore, a boy who fakes the voice of a woman is really disgusting, and Amane really has the desire to stop Itsuki there and then.
He stuck out his tongue in disdain, and Itsuki continued to laugh.
” So your mom is like this, Amane? My mother's pretty hands. ”
” I guess I'll say that I envy you. My mother is the type to keep talking. ”
” Only a good mother worries about her son, right?”
” But the child will not be independent ..”
” No, you are so terrible that your mother cannot leave you.”
“ Silent. He was too busy with his son. ”
Maybe because she was an only child, but Amane's mother really took care of her.
He did not love her, rather, he was the type to disturb everything, and worry about everything. While Amane himself did not hate him, it was troublesome dealing with him.
She said a lot of things when she chose to live alone near her high school, stopping by often to check on her. He's quite a hassle.
” Well, at least that means he really thinks you're important, right?”
” This love is too heavy.”
” Simply surrender. One day you'll understand how valuable it is. “
” You're a standard rebel child, and now you sound like you've experienced.”
” Hahaha. Can't do anything when it comes to Chii. ”
Itsuki had some disagreements against her father because of her boyfriend, so these words really sounded unconvincing, but what she said did make sense, so she listened to him …
He had his own problems to deal with, so Amane thought as he let out a long sigh. Itsuki himself remained optimistic, not looking tired in the slightest. “Itu
the brave one between Chii and I could be kicked by a horse. ” even though he said such scary things before.
“ By the way, I'll do something about my father. You need to spend your days well, Amane? “
While Itsuki grinned, “I know it without you saying it to me.” Amane frowned in frustration. He then realized Itsuki's words were exactly the same as a certain person, and made a wry smile.
But Itsuki came to visit Amane's house. The home topic was soon over, and they started playing.
Initially, they were supposed to revise the exam to be held the following week, but before they knew it, they were playing video games.
“ Hey, stop throwing healing items, man. We may not have enough later. “
” We will find out.”
“ No, not that, you have not increased your level. It will be troublesome later .. “
While Amane wonders how he should retaliate on Itsuki's thrill seeker, the doorbell rings, causing a different problem.
Itsuki stopped the game, showing the menu as he raised his face.
He knew Amane barely told anyone else about his address, and thus practically no one wanted to visit. Even if there were, they would be stopped by the gate of the apartment block, and would instead press the speaker.
” I don't know. Neighbors maybe? There may be news on the notice board. ”
” I understand.”
” I'll go check for a minute.”
He restrains his facial muscles from moving as he tries to pull that faster than Itsuki,
before rushing to the door.
Lucky he didn't call after ringing the bell.
He opened the door without checking, opened a small gap just in case he was seen, slipped out, and closed the door.
As expected, Mahiru was inside, and she blinked when she saw how Amane was outside the character. “Ssst.” he made this gesture with his index finger.
“... Please be quiet. Itsuki's at my house. ”
” Itsuki?”
” My friend. He's here to play. “
” Ahh, so.”
Once he understood why he was so stealthy, he nodded and did not continue the matter. As usual, he handed the tupperware to Amane.
It seems he's been preparing for this since morning. Inside was udon, and it was the perfect dish for a season that was starting to turn cold.
Mahiru handed the tupperware without any further question, Amane accepted it kindly, sighing.
“ Ehe, well, thanks for the attention you showed me, but I could never reveal it. Sorry.”
” I did not do that to thank you .. but thank goodness your place is neat enough to invite your friend.”
” Do I have to prostrate and say thank you?”
” Not at all. Don't.”
Stop making me look like a bad girl, she gave a dumbfounded look, and Amane could only smile wryly.
After all, he really couldn't raise his head towards her, so he was a bit serious with her
what he said. Having been in his care for so long, dogeza itself may not be enough …
He brought enough portions of dinner, and he regretted being a freeloader. He intended to find an opportunity to talk about dinner money.
“ Since your friend is here, I won't bother you for long. Excuse me.”
“... Thanks for all the help. I won't tell Itsuki about you. ”
” Please do that.”
” Well, even if I did, he wouldn't believe me.”
” I guess.”
Amane felt conflicted that he confirmed his statement so easily, but looking from Itsuki's point of view, he would wonder if Amane was delirious if he said, Shiina actually cooked for me.
After all, the Angel itself is a flower in a high place.
It would be one thing if he was a talented and handsome man, but it was impossible to assume a lazy and useless brat like him could make him cook for him.
“... May I ask you something ? ”
” What is “
” Because you cook for me every day, are you planning something?”
Labor is too expensive, and such free meals are usually impossible. Amane himself wouldn't have done it if he was in the woman's shoes, and while he had no hope once in a million occasions that he liked her, his curiosity got the better of him.
Mahiru raised her head slightly as she pondered, “Only for self-satisfaction” and she said without changing expression.
“ Not difficult at all. It's easier for me to cook a two-man section than one, and I just want to serve someone else. “
” So, you just love cooking?”
“ That might be one reason. I'm also relieved that you don't have any strange misunderstandings, just expressing what you're thinking. I worry every time I see what you eat, so I do it for self-satisfaction. “
“... Is that it?”
” Of course. You don't have to worry about it. Think of it as wealth falling from above. ”
” Good, fine.”
It seems that Mahiru has no intention to speak further, “I'm sorry.” so she bowed politely, and returned to her home.
(.. Is it true that this is the case?)
Amane didn't think it would be enough reason for a free dinner, so he muttered as he also returned to his house.
” Who is it?”
” Only neighbors share food. I'll put it in the fridge. Don't continue without me. “
” Ah, sorry, I finished off boss.”
” Fuck you.”
