After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
“Ah !”
Kirigiri shouted in surprise as soon as the closet door was opened.
I twisted my face in bitterness.The thought of having to endure the barrage of questions from my mother was exhausting.
“H-hello…….”
Kirigiri greets my mother from the closet with a dry smile.
My mother stared at the mysterious beautiful girl who appeared in front of her, and would not open her mouth.
The silence was strangely frightening to me because I have a personality that requires me to speak once every five seconds.
My mother looked at Kirigiri from the bottom to the top as if she were inspecting her.
“So cute~♡”
She opened her mouth with an enraptured look on her face.
“Eh !?”
“What’s your name?”
“I-it’s Kirigiri Misuzu…….”
Kirigiri slowly walked out of the closet as she answered in a reserved manner.
She seemed unsure of how to react, as she probably never thought that my mother was the pushover type.
“Your name is cute too !”
“T-thank you.”
Then my mother looked at Kirigiri again, as if she was inspecting her, and then said.
“Yeah. She looks cool, but she has a pretty face. She has a nice style and shiny hair. And her hands are thin and beautiful. I envy you so much.”
I was wondering what she was going to say to Kirigiri, but she started talking with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen.
“And this citrus smell. You’re wearing perfume, aren’t you, Kirigiri chan?”
“Ah, yes…….”
“That’s why I thought something was strange when I entered the room. Your scent was different from your usual scent.”
Come to think of it, Kirigiri used to like to wear citrus perfume. She’s been coming over to my house a lot lately, so maybe that smell has been lingering around.
I thought there couldn’t be any more oversights, but it seems things were already shaky from the moment I let my mother into the house.
“Anyway, Yuu kun ! Why did you lie to me? If you had a girlfriend, why didn’t you just introduce her to me?”
My mother looked at me with a sour expression on her cheeks.
“Just to let you know, Kirigiri is not my girlfriend ! Don’t get the wrong idea.”
This will lead to misunderstandings unless I clearly change her perception. I said this firmly.
Kirikiri nodded her head in affirmation.
“What do you mean she’s not your girlfriend? Isn’t it strange to have such a pretty girl in your house?
“I told you–”
“And why did you hide her from me? You didn’t think it would be good for me to find out, did you? How so?”
“I-it has nothing to do with you !”
My mother’s questioning never stopped. I brush them off, but she doesn’t seem convinced.
I guess it’s understandable. It’s normal to think it’s strange to have a woman in a man’s house.
I have my reasons for having Kirigiri in the house, but it would take a lot of effort to explain them all from scratch. Besides, I don’t want to be bombarded with more questions.
Then my mother turned to Kirigiri and shook her hand forcefully.
“He’s a bit of a pain, but please continue to be good friends. Yuu kun is a bit cynical, isn’t he? But deep down he’s a good kid, so you don’t have to worry. I guarantee it.”
I hate it when people blabber about unnecessary things like this…
I was exasperated and winked at Kirigiri to say “don’t worry about it too much.”
“I really want to talk to you a little longer, but I think it’s time for me to leave now !”
My mother said and started to pack up her things. It seemed that she was really leaving.
“Yuu kun, you’d be sorry if you let such a cute girl slip away♪ And you youngsters should get along well ! See you later~♪”
My mother left like a typhoon. Kirigiri stared at her with her mouth hanging open.
I’m not sure if she realized that Kirigiri and I weren’t dating, but at least that troublesome person is gone, so I guess you could say that the matter is closed.
“She was a powerful mother.”
Kirigiri opened her mouth with a puzzled look on her face.
Kirigiri is usually cool and unfazed by anything, but this time was an exception and she seemed to be swept away by her mother’s momentum.
In fact, I was overwhelmed to see my mother in such a high state of excitement for the first time in half a year.
“She’s always like that. I’m sorry if she bothered you.”
I sat down as hard as I could, probably because I was tired from talking to my mother for the first time in a long time.
“Not at all. She’s a great mom, by the way.”
“What’s great about her?”
In fact, she’s a very good mother, except for the overprotective and parentally stupid part. She cares about me a lot and sends me money every month. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better mother.
“But she came all the way home to see you because she worried about you, didn’t she?”
“I don’t know if she was worried about me…maybe she just wanted to hear my voice. It’s fine to see her occasionally, but being with her every day is tiring. Whenever she has free time she’ll ask me if I have a girlfriend. To put it simply, she’s a doting parent.”
I can’t tell her, but I wanted to be free from that parental stupidity so much that I decided to live alone.
Well, I never thought I would learn to appreciate my parents on the first day…….
I’m afraid Kirigiri will laugh at me if I tell her this, so I’ll keep it to myself.
“I think I’m jealous that you have such an energetic mother……”
Kirigiri’s face looked somewhat lonely, as if she was comparing her to her own parents.
