I Went Back in Time to 10 Years Ago and Saved My Young Lady Childhood Friend and She Became My Fiancee ~She’s Honest and Cool and Looks at Me Like She Wants to Be Cared For~
“What kind of clothes do you usually wear, Enami-kun?”
“I think it’s something that’s easy to move around in. A normal shirt, a hoodie ……”
“I see. …… How about this one?”
Moving to another store, Minamori is looking through men’s clothing. She picks up something that looks good and looks at it in front of the mirror, adjusting it to my body while muttering, “Hmm.”
Next to me.
Yorumiya is standing beside me with a somewhat sulky expression on her face.
“…… Um, Yorumiya?”
“Yes?”
“I’m not sure how to say it, but isn’t it a little close to ……?”
Yomiya grabbed my arm and snuggled next to me. The distance is close. It is said that there is such a thing as personal space in this world, but no matter how you look at it, she is intruding into it.
“No ……?”
I silently shook my head. I shook my head silently. I can’t say no. If I see this face…….
Yorumiya has been a little strange since she saw me and Minamori earlier.
I don’t know why, but she’s been by my side the whole time, holding onto my sleeve.
But I can’t try it on if she’s holding my sleeve.
“…… can I try on some clothes?”
“….. yes.”
It’s incredibly heartbreaking to just be let go. It’s like untying the hand of a young child who is clinging to you. Minamori is looking at us with eyes like a Tibetan fox.
Anyway, I changed my clothes and stood in front of the mirror.
……Mmmm. Isn’t it cool? I don’t know much about fashion, but it looks clean and presentable. Maybe. No, I think it’s actually good.
“I think it’s cool. ……!”
“Oh, thanks …….”
“Yeah, I think it looks good on you. It’s easy to match it with the clothes you wore today.”
They both give me compliments. They praise me, but for some reason, only Minamori’s tone is casual
“Minamori …… is kind of messy, isn’t it?”
“No, it’s not that”
Minamori turns away with a blank stare.
“Shuu-kun, are you buying?”
“Yeah. I’m going to take this opportunity to buy it.”
“I’ll take care of it for a while after you change, so could you wait there for me?”
“Eh? I-I understand.”
I changed my clothes and handed the clothes I planned to buy to Yoeumiya. “Then please wait for a moment,” said she grabbed the clothes and left the fitting room.
What are you going to do …..? Maybe try on some other clothes as well? If that’s the case, I think I’d better go along with you,…….
“Enami-kun, can I ask you something?”
“Hmm?”
Seeing Yorumiya move away, Minamori calls out to me.
“‘Is Hina-chan a character like that?”
“…………”
“I don’t think she was like that in middle school. …… Enami-kun, did you do something to her?”
“No,……”
If I had to say whether I did it or not, I guess I did. my fiance.
Could that be the cause? It’s true that the sense of distance just now feels strange. Usually when I’m at home, there’s a little more appropriate distance between us. It’s been a while since she grabbed me by the sleeve. Since elementary school?
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Yorumiya came back as soon as I waited while thinking back. He is holding a store bag in his hand.
…….Hnn?
“……Yorumiya bought something too?”
“This is the one from Shuu-kun just now.”
“Eeh!?”
She paid it!?”
“No, no, no! You can’t do that!”
“But…”
Yorumiya looks up at me, clutching the bag.
“In that case…this will only belong to Sara-san…”
“…… Eh?”
Yorumiya looks away sulkily. The face of minamori is losing its beauty.
“I can’t choose your clothes or …… anything else. I can’t do anything here, so I thought I’d help you in some way …….”
Y-you don’t have to worry about that.
“No, but Yorumiya always does a lot for me, doesn’t she?”
“I do?”
“Like making sweets and …… packing lunches.”
I am indebted to her on a daily basis. Lunch boxes are one of them. My mom is a working person, so having her make lunch for me is a huge help. And it’s delicious. That too every day. The words “thank you” are not enough.
“I would rather pay for it myself. ……”
“But that’s …..”
“And even Yorumiya said that this outfit was cool. That was one of the deciding factors.”
“Is that so,……?”
Yorumiya’s voice is wavering.
Should I give it another push? …I can’t make her pay no matter what.
The people around me are also amazing.
[Is he some kind of pimp?]
[He’s a pimp. What kind of man …… makes a woman pay for it?]
It’s a misunderstanding. ……!
“Well, let’s do something together sometime.”
“Eh? What do you mean ……?”
“Yeah, anything Yorumiya likes to do …….”
“Does that mean you’ll do me a favor ……?”
“Eh!? Uh,…… yeah, then,…… that’s it.”
You can’t replace your stomach with your back. I feel like I’m agreeing to something a little risky, but that’s the only way to survive this situation.
“I understand. I’ll see you next time.”
“…… yeah.”
Yorumiya hands me the clothes. I’ll give the money back as well.
When I looked at Minamori next to me, I saw that the light had disappeared from her eyes and she was looking up into the void.
“H-hey, Minamori? Are you okay?”
“……Yeah, well, I guess I’m fine. ……”
Are you sure you are okay? I thought, “Well, let’s go, haha ……” and we started to move forward, so I decided to follow her. If you can move,……, are you okay?
