「Shiori. On Sunday, are you free? There’s a movie I want to see.」
On the other side of the table, Maika looks at after finishing her chicken nanban.
Sunday, of all days.
I sigh in my mind.
I don’t want to say it, but I can’t keep quiet.
「…Sorry. I have an appointnt with Sendai-san. Can it be next week?」
Inside the family restaurant, which is reasonably crowded with people who have co to eat dinner, I answer, trying to blend in with the voices coming from all over the place.
I didn’t want to ntion Sendai-san’s na because I was afraid she would bring up the subject of “visiting the house,” but I didn’t want to lie to Maika any longer.
「Okay, but are you going sowhere with Sendai-san?」
「Buying so stuff.」
I stopped eating my fried food and answered truthfully.
「Heh. You two were going shopping together.」
I don’t know if she’s smiling or grimacing, but Maika is looking at with a very happy expression on her face.
「Well, yeah.」
「I don’t think both of you have the sa taste. What are you going to buy?」
「Earrings. Sendai-san is supposed to choose it for .」
On Sunday, I am supposed to fulfill a promise I made to Sendai-san. It was a promise that Sendai-san made to as a punishnt on my way ho from Maika’s house, a promise I had not been able to fulfill. I couldn’t keep it on hold forever, so I decided to go out this coming Sunday.
「I see. It’s been more than a month since you had your earrings pierced. Still, it seems strange that you are so close to Sendai-san that you ask her to pick out your earrings.」
Maika says while looking at the area around my ear, which is hidden by my hair and not visible. Then she added as if she rembered.
「Speaking of which, what happened to our talk about going out to play?」
I knew it, this topic seed unavoidable after all.
I swallow the sigh that is about to co out of my mouth, but it is still not enough, so I take a sip of my oolong tea before answering.
「Ahh— Yeah. Sendai-san was okay with it.」
I now give the reply that I had been leaving unanswered, taking advantage of the fact that Maika did not ask .
「I’ve always wanted to see Shiori’s room, and I’m glad. When is it okay to go?」
「Can you do it next month?」
「Isn’t it subtle and far away?」
「Should you go early?」
I think I need more ti before Maika arrives.
and Sendai-san are living as usual, but we are not really back to normal. Not that things will be back to normal next month, but I think we will be more like roommates than we are now.
「Okay then, next month.」
Apparently not wanting to co to our house as soon as possible, Maika accepts my proposal.
「Next month, settled. I’ll ask Sendai-san about her schedule.」
「Okay. I’m always good.」
Reassured by the lighthearted reply, I bit into my last piece of fried chicken.
