The Case of My Childhood Friend Who Became a Very Popular Model and Came Back to Fulfill a Promise We Made When We Were Children
We made a promise of marriage when we were young, and met for the first time in four years.
And then, my youthful romantic comedy, which unexpectedly led us to live together, but the desire of the Skinship was apparently satisfied with a little finger-tie.
“(Akane, who has returned after a four-year absence, is now in the “fussy-chan” mode. I wonder if she’s going to make a scene tonight?)”
The adolescent boy’s hopes were unfounded.
“Good morning, Ayumu.”
“….haa…..aka……”
It was the first morning after we started living together.
I was unable to sleep at all due to my weird expectations, and I was getting up in the morning after munching and studying.
Akane seemed to be sleeping well …… and that was a good thing.
“Huh. Ayumu, you don’t feel like you’re sleeping well?”
“On the contrary, why are you sleeping so soundly?”
“I have to go far away for work, so I’m used to it. Even if I change my sleeping environment, I’ll be fine.”
She gives me a thumbs-up as dazzling as the sun in the morning.
Still, my eyelids were heavy.
“Besides, I’ve been sleeping at Ayumu’s house a lot,”
“It happened”
“When I woke up in the morning, we often ended up on the same futon,……, you know?”
“…… forgive me for that. My sleeping pattern is so bad it’s almost an art form.”
“Though your sleep-talking was terrible, too.”
“I don’t know about that. What did I say?”
“It’s a secret.~”
Akane made a cross in front of her mouth and laughed like a child.
Apparently, I had said something strange.
“…. really, what did I say ……?”
I prayed in my heart that I had not said something that would become black history, and headed for the dining table with Akane.
“What are your plans for today?”
“I’m going to stay in my room today for now, since school starts on Monday, the first day of the week. There’s no shooting either.”
“I see.”
I answered while biting into a loaf of bread with a heaping pile of baby sardines on it.
This is the specialty of the Hassaku family, the Shirasu-don bread. The name has no meaning. I named it as I saw fit.
Shirasu is also very effective in making me smarter, and I often eat it between the lines with tomatoes.
To be honest, I don’t look for goodness in food.
“Do you want me to pick you up from school today too?”
“Buh!”
She said such a thing out of the blue, and I couldn’t help but blurt it out.
The person in question is watching the news with a casual look on her face, and I think that she is really a frightening person.
“As expected, that would be a bad idea, wouldn’t it? If by any chance it is revealed that it is Akane, it would be a big problem. ……”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry! They will never find out, you know~”
“Of course they will find out. ……”
Didn’t this person see the crowd yesterday?
If more people saw her, they would surely recognize her even if she wears sunglasses, and she attracts too much attention because she has an aura of a beautiful girl even if they can’t see her face well in the first place.
“Isn’t that exactly what your manager or something told you?”
“Oh, sure, she said, ‘Y-you’re going to meet your fiancee?
Are you living together? Akane? If the world finds out, you’ll be in trouble! Do you understand?!'”
“Then it’s even worse, isn’t it? You should stay at home and look out for yourself.”
“Muuu~!”
Akane was sulking, but I couldn’t help it.
Honestly, if you could come pick me up, I’d like you to come pick me up too.
However, if she is in front of the school gate, she will stand out and become a hot topic, so it is no good.
“Well, why don’t you just stay home with me and have fun today? Ayumu’s middle school photos and videos.
show me a lot of things♡”
“M-Mom! that’s just too much—”
“Yay~! I’ll look forward to it!”
“Wait, Even Akane……!?”
It seems that it is already completely too late.
There’s no stopping these two now that they’ve started moving forward.
“Haa…..I don’t want to go home.”
I could easily imagine being teased by a smiling Akane when I got home.
“(I really think I should go to a network cafe or something. ……)”
I seriously contemplated.
“Well well. I’ll give you a warm ‘welcome home’, okay?”
“…… I can’t help it.”
I was so happy that I internally pumped my fists.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to resist the urges of adolescence.
“(I’ll be back soon)”
That was my resolution.
