Fridays
Kato Yusuke went to the minimarket as usual after school.
First, he replenished all the lost items, and then checked if any oden had been soaked for a long time in the cooking pot; then he lit an electric frying pan, and tossed the chicken skewers, which he had been soaking in, pieces of chicken meat, and other things, and cleaning it while he was refilling fried food while I was in the coffee machine.
Takada Shiori is in charge of the cash register.
By the time Kato Yusuke finished all of this, more than an hour had passed, and it was still a while before the white-collar workers in the neighborhood got home from work.
So he also stood in front of the cashier and started acting as a mascot.
"Thank you~! It's for you!"
Takada Shiori, with a straightforward smile on her face, handed her a cup of milk iced tea and gestured for her to pick it up.
"Thank you." Kato Yusuke took his hand, took out his wallet from his pocket, and asked him, "How much?"
"No need, little things like that."
Takada Shiori waved her hand, looked around silently, and whispered in Kato Yusuke's ear.
"Also, Kato-kun lately has been very difficult. It's really not good to face phone fraud or anything like that, so I said..."
His expression became slightly twisted, his ten fingers in front of his stomach were also twisted timidly, his eyes were wandering and he did not dare to look at Kato Yusuke.
"That's.don't look at me like this, I saved a lot of money earlier. If Kato-kun is having trouble.you can come to me at any time..."
After she stuttered and finished speaking, the girl's face was already red all the way to the root of her neck, and she looked very cute.
Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the "men's agreement" with Mr. Tanaka the other day, and his face became very excited.
(By the way, Uncle Tanaka still owes me 2,000 yen.)
This was his first thought.
(Takata's misunderstanding seems to be deepening.)
This is his second thought.
"Cough, that, Takada..."
Kato Yusuke cleared his throat, then opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off.
"Shori..." Takada Shiro said in a low voice, with a layer of deep red color on his exposed skin: "Shori."
"Did?"
Kato Yusuke looked at him confusedly.
"...That's why!" Takada Shiori took a deep breath and looked at him with wet eyes, "Just call me Shiori! After all.we've all experienced something like that..."
The sound gradually decreased until it was barely audible.
Something like that? whahuh?
Kato Yusuke's mind came to a standstill for three seconds, and various images flashed through his mind, like wild horses fleeing on the street.
"What!" Takada Shiori's expression showed dissatisfaction, and Violet's eyes were fixed on Kato Yusuke's eyes: "You have done such a thing to others... That was my first kiss."
The brain thinks again.
(It seems I was the one forced.)
Thinking of this, Kato Yusuke could only sigh inwardly, looked at Takada Shiori and said, "No, let's talk."
"You can call me Shiori ..."
"That can't be done—" Kato Yusuke shook his head, his ink-like eyes looked at Shiori Takada without dodging, and asked word for word, "Do you like me?"
"You, you, you, what are you talking about!?"
Unknowingly wanting to deny it, Takada Shirou's face quickly flushed like a pot of hot water that had just been boiled.
"That's, that kind of thing!" His eyes fluctuated violently, then lowered his head, and muttered like a mosquito, "Don't say it here ..."
A moment of silence occurred between the two.
After a few seconds, there is an****** length in the air.
"sorry."
kato Yusuke said.
"...Uh?" Takada Shiori trembled and subconsciously raised her head: "What...? Why are you apologizing...?"
******* more.
"Do I have to explain it?"
His dark eyes looked at him calmly, and Kato Yusuke's words were like a basin of cold water flowing into Takada Shiori's head.
The water droplets began to hit the windows little by little, and rain started to fall at some point outside the window.
"...I'll be back."
After a long silence, Takada Shiori said in a low voice.
ignoring Kato Yusuke's reaction and seeing his head bowed and hurriedly walking out.
Kato Yusuke reached out to stop him.
"What does it mean…"
Takada Shiori's voice trembled as if she was pressing something.
"Bring this at least."
Kato Yusuke took the umbrella from the shelf beside him.
Cold tears fell from her eyes and hitting Kato Yusuke's arm wetly, the girl slowly raised her head.
What caught his attention was a pair of red eyes.
"People like you are the worst!"
Takada Shiori took the umbrella and at the same time reached out and took the frozen milk tea on the table, and threw it towards Kato Yusuke.
La la— wash
A drink mixed with ice cubes was poured onto Kato Yusuke's face, then flowed into his face.
He stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, staring at the girl who disappeared in the rain, without any joy or sadness in his eyes.
It might stop soon.
Kato Yusuke thought so, then took a rag and cleaned the surrounding area.
Nightfall.
"Ah? Why are you alone? Where's Takada?"
Mr. Tanaka in a raincoat walked into the store and asked Yusuke Kato who was alone in the store.
"He's not feeling well, so he's back first."
Kato Yusuke explained.
"Yes?"
Mr. Tanaka nodded, took off his raincoat, shook violently on the ground at the door, and said to Yusuke Kato with emotion.
"It's really raining today!"
Kato Yusuke glanced out the window, only to see the afternoon drizzle like cow feathers, and now it had completely turned into a different look. Heavy rain fluttered like it was about to fall, bouncing on the ground with a crackling sound.
The fact proves that he miscalculated, the rain not only does not stop, but also tends to get heavier.
"It's a little troublesome."
Kato Yusuke muttered, his eyes paused for a moment on the sold-out shelf, where the umbrella was originally placed.
Looks like we can only wait for the rain to subside before it returns.
He looked up at the sky with this thought, his eyes slightly disturbed, so he was unaware of the person beside him.
Tattoo—
"This man."
A light voice sounded in his ears.
"You look troubled?"
Kato Yusuke turned his head, and what appeared in his eyes was a beautiful girl in uniform.
"It's raining so hard."
The girl said with a smile, looking at the boy with indescribable excitement in her eyes.
He walked up to Kato Yusuke with an umbrella, lifted the umbrella over the heads of the two of them, and placed the other hand on Kato Yusuke's arm, looked at the boy with pouting eyes, and said softly.
"Come back, dinner's ready."
"it's good."
Looking at the girl leaning on him, Kato Yusuke responded with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Wood."
