「Are you in need of money, Sendai-chan?」
When I put my latte on the table, Noto-senpai says sothing rude there.
「I’m not having troubles.」
She’s the senior who introduced to my part-ti tutoring job, with whom I have only interacted to the extent of saying hello when I see her, but now we have beco friends to the extent of having rude conversations there at this cafe, where I am working at my new part-ti job.
「So, were you paying tribute to a bad man or woman?」
Noto-senpai wrinkles her brow and says sothing even ruder. A regular at this café, she catches the wait staff talking nonsense, but I can’t quite tell the line between joking and being serious.
「That’s wrong.」
「I guess so. You don’t look like the type of person who would be deceived by a bad person.」
「What in the world is this investigation about?」
「I was thinking that if you need money enough to hold down a part-ti job, I could introduce you to a new part-ti job as a tutor. I know you said this part-ti job here is only until the school festival.」
As I say this, Noto-senpai takes a sip of her café latte and asks,「What do you want?」Apparently, this story is serious and they are really going to introduce to part-ti tutoring.
「I’m happy to be introduced to you, but I have so things I want to do when this part-ti job is over.」
I utter a suitable pretext.
「If I ask you to tell what it is, will you tell , Sendai-chan?」
「It’s a secret.」
I know that for the cost of a part-ti job, I would rather work more tutoring jobs than at the café. But even if I increase the number of part-ti tutoring jobs, I cannot work with Miyagi, nor can I ask Miyagi to co visit us. In the first place, Miyagi seems to hate my part-ti tutoring job terribly. If I’m going to get more part-ti work anyway, I’d like it to be sothing that doesn’t upset her too much.
Well, she’s in a bad mood right now for a different reason than my part-ti job.
「Well, then, I’ll find a girl who isn’t Sendai-chan.」
As I listen to my senior’s voice, which may or may not be convincing, I picture Miyagi’s face, which has been grumpy ever since the day I picked up the lipstick that had rolled off.
It has been about ten days since then, but Miyagi hasn’t asked for a kiss. On the contrary, her mood has worsened and she no longer allows to kiss her.
「I’m sure Senpai will take their ti without having to tell them, but take your ti.」
Instead of sighing to Miyagi in my head, I call out to Noto-senpai.
「How cold, Sendai-chan. If it were Mio, she would’ve been more willing to talk with .」
Brushing back her long hair, Noto-senpai drinks a café latte.
She is not angry with the manager if the conversation gets lively and goes on for a bit longer than usual. But Noto-senpai’s stories are always too long. Even if she doesn’t get mad at , I have to cut her off sowhere to finish the story.
I smile at my senpai.
「This is not the type of place where the staff and custors interact with each other.」
I wish it were in Miyagi.
It’s not that I don’t want to talk to Noto-senpai, but if he wants to talk to more, I would prefer Miyagi.
Not as much as I’d like.
I shouldn’t have done anything extra.
Just because a stray cat misses a little doesn’t an I should get carried away and try to get her to play fetch or give her a refill. I can’t help but be disappointed in myself for choosing the easy way out, even though Miyagi will never work the way I want it to.
「It is like that type of store, isn’t it? I ca here because Mio asked to.」
I hear Noto-senpai’s voice and erase the grim-faced Miyagi from my mind.
「Mio, what did you do?」
「When I was reading a book in a park near here, Mio, who was a high school student, picked up. She said, “If you want to read a book, let’s read at the cafe there.”」
「…That’s so Mio-like.」
A friendly Mio wouldn’t be afraid to talk to a stranger or even bring a custor to the café. Noto-senpai has a habit of glaring at her with her slit eyes—— To be precise, she has a habit of wrinkling her brow when sothing is bothering her, so she is not the type of person I would want to approach and actively talk to, but I don’t think Mio would mind.
「It’s a good thing, though, because now I can have a good latte thanks to you.」
Noto-senpai gulps down her latte as she says this. Then she would look at and say,「Speaking of which,」as if she still didn’t have enough to say, so I would end the conversation and return to work without waiting until the end. Even regulars cannot stay with their seniors forever.
Although the number of custors cos and goes, the café is busy on Saturdays.
There is room in the seats now, but there will not always be room.
I look around the restaurant.
To co and play around.
I told Miyagi that and left the house, but she’s not there. I know that she will never co.
Two or three hours pass in the afternoon, and Miyagi still didn’t co. At night, Mio arrives and the end of the part-ti job cos.
「Hazuki-chan, can you get a part-ti job tomorrow? I got a call that one of them wants to take the day off for an ergency.」
As I was about to leave, I was approached by the manager.
「It’s alright.」
「Okay, three o’clock, please.」
「Yes.」
I don’t mind if I have a part-ti job for a day or two more.
I’m grateful for the extra day or two I get paid for my part-ti job.
But I can’t rejoice when I think about Miyagi.
Part of wants to spend ti with Miyagi, and there is also the problem of Miyagi’s bad mood when I talk about my part-ti job. Moreover, my part-ti job ended late today, and I didn’t even get the call that I was going to be late in ti.
I got on the train and got off at the usual station.
I walk quickly down the street where I sotis et Mike-chan and head for ho.
Up the stairs to the third floor and open the front door.
I take off my shoes and go to the common space, but Miyagi is not there.
I knock on the door of my room.
Knock, knock.
After two taps, the door opens and out walks Miyagi, who looks visibly displeased.
「I’m ho.」
「…Welco ho, it seems that you’re late today.」
Miyagi said in a slightly low voice and looked in the ear.
「I’ve been busy. Also, sorry. I got a part-ti job tomorrow.」
「Why are you apologizing?」
「Nothing in particular.」
「You don’t have to apologize, you’re still going to work part-ti.」
Miyagi kicks my leg a little.
My eyes remain fixed on my ears and do not move.
「Your earring, can I touch it?」
I ask softly, and a hard voice responds.
「I don’t mind.」
「Can I touch it?」
「I didn’t say I wanted you to touch .」
「I want to touch Miyagi.」
When I reaches out and touches her cheek, Miyagi peels her hand away with a crunch before I can get to her face. Apparently, she was not going to allow anything that would lead to kissing.
I wish I could put that stupid ulterior motive from that day sowhere and erase it from my past.
She doesn’t have to beg to kiss her, but please let kiss you.
I wasn’t suited to a contest of endurance.
There was no way Miyagi would snap faster than .
「This is a punishnt ga.」
Of course, Miyagi says it.
「Okay, but what are you going to make do?」
「Don’t go to your part-ti job tomorrow.」
She kicked in the leg again.
It doesn’t hurt, but I can feel Miyagi’s frustration.
「That’s impossible.」
「I know. I’m just saying it.」
「So what’s the punishnt you want to do?」
「You can go to your part-ti job, but from now on, you absolutely have to do what I say.」
「I’ve said it before, but only if you use common sense.」
She didn’t kick my leg as hard as usual.
Miyagi not wanting to be touched.
I think it’s as if it has been decided that the punishnt ga will be a bad one. As proof, Miyagi said,「Co inside,」without saying that I understood.
