After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
It was the weekend, and after eating a late lunch, we were playing games without washing dishes.
What was different from usual was that Kirigiri’s skill had reached the level of a pro, and my position as a gaming master was in jeopardy.
“All right, I won again. Kinoshita’s skills have deteriorated.”
“Ugh……you’re so cocky for a beginner who didn’t even know how to do combos until the other day.”
I muttered sour grapes for the umpteenth time today.
Kirigiri is good at cooking, studying, and sports, but the only thing I was confident I was better at was gaming. But after just a few weeks, this is what happened.
I couldn’t even win a single game against Kirigiri, who was improving at an extraordinary rate.
“The professional recommended by Kinoshita. It was very helpful.”
“Yeah, yeah…..”
I didn’t expect her to grow so much just by referring to professional videos. I was once again blown away by Kirigiri’s dexterity.
“O-one more round…….”
I said in a soulless voice.
I would feel uncomfortable if my pride as a gamer was left hurt.
“I think it’ll be the same no matter how many times we do it. Wait, hm? Kinoshita, your phone’s ringing.”
“Eh?”
I look at my phone.
The notification on the screen showed about ten incoming calls from my mother.
(What the hell !?)
It’s strange to think that that parental idiot mother is making a bunch of phone calls.
Normally I would have ignored the calls, but given this panicked behavior and the possibility that something serious might happen, I felt it would be wrong for me as her son to just ignore her.
“Sorry, I’ll go make a phone call.”
With that, I went outside and called her right back.
[Ah ! Yuu kun, you finally picked up !]
Then, within three rings, my mother’s pleasant voice rang in my ears.
[What’s the matter with you? Did something happen?]
[Oh my? You’re worried about me? You’re really are a mama’s boy, aren’t you~♪]
There seemed to be no problem since she started talking lightly.
I was relieved, but I felt more like I’d lost something by worrying about her.
[If there’s nothing special, I’m hanging up.]
[Ah ! Wait a minute, I’m on my way to Yuu kun’s house ]
[Hah? What do you mean now?]
My mother just said a ridiculous line to me.
[Like I said, I’m on my way to Yuu kun’s house ! I just started walking from the nearest station, so I’m almost there.]
[W-why didn’t you tell me that earlier !]
[Because I suddenly wanted to see you♡]
Because there’s…..there is no time for me to calmly tell her that.
I didn’t think she would come to my house as a surprise, so I was caught off guard.
[That’s what it is ! I’ll be there soon, so please wait for me ! I brought lots of souvenirs !]
[Ah ! Hey ! Hold on a sec–!]
I didn’t have time to complain, and the call was forcibly hung up.
The fact that she had already started walking from the nearest station meant that she would be at my house in less than five minutes.
“Not good, this is very bad.”
After Haga, my mother is the second most dangerous person to have in the house.
She is always cheerful and loves to joke around, but she is the first to notice any sudden changes in people. If it were to become known that I was with Kirigiri, my mother’s curiosity would finally show its fangs.
If I told her the truth, she would understand, but it would be troublesome to have her digging into my life.
The problem is that Kirigiri is in the house right now.
If she had contacted me in advance, I could have created a situation where Kirigiri was not at home, but that is not the case now.
Is there time to send Kirigiri home now?
(Hold up……)
There is a possibility that she will run into her when she leaves my house. If that happens, there is no excuse.
First of all, I have to tell this to Kirigiri, and then the problem will be solved.
“Kirigiri !”
I ran back to Kirigiri and told her about the situation.
“Huh !? Your mum’s coming !? W-why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Kirigiri is panicking.
I understand that you want to complain about it. But this time it is no one’s fault. The root of all evil is my mother.
“Forgive me. I’ll hear all your excuses later, so why don’t you go hide in the closet for a while?”
Before Kirigiri came to the house, the closet was used as a storage room, but thanks to the cleaning work with Kirigiri, it is now a clean space with nothing in it that can accommodate a single person.
“W-wait ! How long should I stay there?”
“I don’t know ! But I’ll do what I can !”
Now, I have no time to lose. I move to erase any trace of Kirigiri’s presence.
I put away the controller for Kirigiri in the back of the closet where anyone can’t find it.
I will not make the same mistake as I did with Haga.
“All that’s left is the shoes !”
Before I touch them, I apologize to Kirigiri, who is hiding in the closet, and hides Kirigiri’s sneakers in a box that used to contain men’s shoes.
This way they will almost never be found.
(The rest is…..)
I look around the whole place once more to make sure I haven’t overlooked anything. It’s probably all right. The evidence of Kirigiri’s presence is destroyed. The perfect crime had been committed.
At that moment, a ding dong sounded in the room, announcing the presence of a visitor.
“Yuu kun ! I’m here ! Open the door, please, my luggage is heavy～”
It was my mother, just five minutes after she called. Right on time.
There was no escape now. I had to keep Kirigiri hidden at all costs.
I opened the door where my mother was waiting for me.
