After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
After school–Haga was stepping out of the classroom, saying he had plans with his girlfriend.
And as for me, I was stumped by the content of Kirigiri san’s message.
[(Kirigiri san) I’m bored, do you wanna come home with me?]
[(Yuuma) No, think carefully about your influence.]
[(Kirigiri san) Hmm? What do you mean?]
[(Yuuma) How can you not know……]
Kirigiri san doesn’t seem to be aware of her influence……
Kirigiri san invited me to walk home from school. I was very happy and well aware that it was an honor, but if Kirigiri san, who has defeated so many boys in school, was seen walking home with a mob like me, strange rumors would spread and my peaceful school life would be in jeopardy, so I decided to politely decline.
[(Kirigiri san) Well, whatever. Anyway, I’m going home now, so I’ll be a little late.]
[(Yuuma) OK.]
◆ ◆ ◆
And then, I returned home safely.
I looked around to see if the delinquents who had picked up Kirigiri san the other day were wandering around, but it turned out to be an unnecessary worry.y.
I’ll be home a little late.
“Ah, ouch…….”
In the room, there were about ten bottles of soda scattered on the floor, and as I expected, I stepped on one of them.
A few of them still had their contents in them.
There were about three unused garbage bags piled up in the kitchen. I knew it was dirty, but even throwing them away was too much of a bother.
“Oh well, I’ll do it later.”
I muttered to myself and stretched as tall as I could.
I feel like I should tidy up before Kirigiri san arrives, but she’s not coming into the house or anything, so I’ll take my time after returning the umbrella.
It’s a secret that I have a habit of putting things off until later, so most of what I do is done after a few days.
(I don’t care about that, I want to play a game.)
I turned on the game console with a flick of the switch.
The last boss of Finishing Fantasy. It is said to be the most difficult boss in the series so far.
I had been working hard every day to level up for this day.
Now—–
“Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ! !”
I spent about an hour struggling with the last boss, screaming alone in the small room.
Somehow, I succeeded in defeating the last boss, and a tremendous sense of accomplishment filled my whole body. Even though I had leveled up, I did not expect to have such a hard time, but the battle system, worldview, and storyline were as good as any of the previous games.
All that was left was to see the ending and aim for the trophies—.
At that moment, a chime suddenly rang in the room, announcing a visitor.
It was probably Kirigiri san. She said she was running late because she had something to do, but it seems she finished earlier than expected.
I slowly get up and open the front door.
“Hey, you’re late—–eh.”
“What?”
Kirigiri san’s strange appearance caused my thoughts to stop.
“Hey, what’s up with that….”
Kirigiri san was wearing a pink women’s mask over her mouth. Her small face was obscured, but there was no doubt that it was Kirigiri san.
But what caught my attention the most was what she was holding. In her right hand she was holding a large garbage bag, and in her left hand she was holding the umbrella I had lent her the other day.
Kirigiri san is staring at me with her usual sharp eyes. However, I could clearly see through the mask that she has a neat face.
Kirigiri san looked as if she wanted to say, [Is something wrong?].
“I bought it a while ago.”
“No, I know that, but…..”
Was this what she was talking about when she said she had something to do?
However, her strange appearance made her seem different from someone who had come to return an umbrella.
“Let me in.”
Kirigiri san says bluntly.
But as you can imagine, that’s an impossible proposition.
After all, I’m in the middle of the game. The best ending awaits me soon. I can’t let her enter.
“I can’t, not now……where’s the umbrella?”
“I’ll return it later. For now, I’ll help you clean up.”
“Eh? What now?”
“I said I’ll help you clean up ! Last time I came here, it was dirty.”
I see, so that’s why she puts on a mask and brought a garbage bag.
I know I’m the one who knows best that it’s dirty…..no, wait, but why should Kirigiri san go out of her way to clean my room?
No matter how many times I thought about it, that genuine question was never resolved.
“Gee ! Get out of the way ! You were playing a game anyway !”
Kirigiri san pushed me out of the way and forced her way into my room.
“Ah, wait ! You’re bothering me !”
“It’s as dirty as ever.”
It was the same reaction she had when she first saw the inside of my room.
Of course. Nothing has changed since then.
There were plastic bottles, comic books, magazines, and even underwear strewn about. To top it all off, even my underwear was scattered around.
If it was going to be like this, I should have organized it just a little bit…….
“I was about to clean it up later.”
“Ha? What was that?”
Her sharp gaze pierced my entire body.
There was no doubt that he was more impressive than the final boss I had defeated earlier.
“Later when? I bet you were making excuses like “tomorrow” or “the day after” and never do it, right? That’s why this is happening.”
I couldn’t say anything back, so I stammered as I looked at her sideways.
Living alone has made me realize once again how great a mother is.
“You’re absolutely right……”
“Come on, I’ll help you clean up.”
“But why would you.. Kirigiri san, we only just met the other day, right?”
It may have sounded a little cold, but I decided to ask her something that I was genuinely curious about.
After all, Kirigiri san is popular at school and not the kind of person someone like me should have anything to do with.
We’re like yin and yang. It’s no exaggeration to say that we are contrasting beings. Of course, I’m the yin.
“Nothing really…I was bored, that’s all. Do you have any complaints?”
Her expression was hidden by a white mask so I couldn’t read it, but I could see that she looked a little embarrassed.
I wondered if she was really going to this extent for a male classmate just for lending him her umbrella, and I also had some doubts about Kirigiri san, who hates men, going into a man’s room, but I didn’t say anything more about it.
“By the way, can you stop with the honorifics? We’re the same age, so it’s fine if we’re on a first-name basis.”
“Well, you know…..I’m a little uncomfortable with it…….”
“Say it.”
“Kirigiri……”
“Good…….”
Kirigiri san, or rather Kirigiri, gave permission for me to speak casually.
I don’t know if I can say that we’ve gotten closer, but it’s certainly not a bad relationship.
“Come on, don’t just stand there, we have to start cleaning.”
“Oh, yeah.”
She came all the way here to clean up. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her to get out after she’d come all the way here, so I reluctantly followed her lead.
