Miyagi and I watch movies and read manga in our room.
These few days of the holiday weekend were consud by such trivial but important things for .
And today.
Across to is not Miyagi, but Hanamaki Kikyō-chan.
I don’t intend to miss my part-ti job, and I have no complaints about working part-ti.
I think the act of teaching learning is for and I enjoy it.
But I also want to go ho.
Because Miyagi acted in a way that put in a good mood.
I know it’s probably not true. I know that Miyagi would never get in a good mood, but the fact that she acted like she did makes want to get back to my normal, uneventful life with Miyagi, even though I am still working part-ti.
Students are important and should not be treated carelessly, but there is a part of that wants to give up everything and stay by Miyagi’s side.
——These things are not good.
I look at Kikyō-chan, squeezing her painted nails, the color Miyagi said would look good on her. Being a good student, she is doing exactly what I told her to do.
She never fails to do the howorks I assign her, and she never tries to skip class while I’m teaching her. She’s not slacking off just because it is the holidays, and she’s sitting in front of diligently.
This is not the sa Miyagi where I imitated the tutor.
Well, Miyagi is different from everyone else.
I answered so of Kikyō-chan’s questions and asked so new ones. Ti passed as it had in the past during Golden Week, and before I knew it, the end of the allotted ti was approaching.
「I’m about to wrap this up, do you have any questions?」
When I asked Kikyō-chan, who was running a pen in her notebook, she thought for a mont before opening her mouth.
「Do you have any plans for the holidays?」
「My schedule, huh? I guess only teaching.」
I smiled and replied that I had other “tutoring plans”.
「Other than that.」
「Other than teaching, I just stay ho and don’t really have any plans.」
I have plans to go see the penguins, but I won’t bother to tell my student, so I’ll keep quiet.
「Your roommate, …don’t you and Miyagi-san go out and have fun?」
Kikyō-chan puts down her pen and stares at .
She has been saying the word “roommate” a lot since she t Miyagi. Or maybe even before we t.
「I don’t know if I plan on going.」
I smiled and uttered a lie.
It’s painful, but I have a feeling that telling the truth will get into trouble.
「Even though it’s your day off. Are you fighting with Miyagi-san?」
「We’re not, we’re not. We’re getting along well.」
「Miyagi-san said she doesn’t have a part-ti job, but maybe you have a part-ti job and are busy?」
「Well, sothing like that.」
I don’t feel so good about lying about Miyagi, but I figure it’s better than telling the truth. In a situation like this, it is better to pass it off as a safe reason.
That’s what I’ve been doing all my life and I’m used to it.
But it’s also sothing I haven’t done much of lately, and I’m starting to feel guilty about it.
「Being a college student sounds like a lot of work.」
Kikyō-chan says sincerely.
「Fair enough.」
「If I had a roommate, I would love to hang out with them on my days off!」
「Then I hope you can be roommates with soone like that.」
Does she have a yearning for a roommate?
Or is it for another reason, I don’t know, but I can only speak in bland terms.
「Right.」
Kikyō-chan said in a voice that did not really an it, and added,「Sensei, it’s ti.」I looked at my watch and sure enough, the allotted ti had passed.
「Well, that’s all for today.」
「Okay.」
After hearing Kikyō-chan’s reply, I put away the reference books and pen case on the table. As I leave the room with my bag, Kikyō-chan walks to the entrance as usual.
「See you again.」
In my voice, Kikyō-chan bowed her head and said, “Thank you very much.”
As soon as I stepped out the front door, I imdiately thought of Miyagi.
I can’t wait to go ho.
The steps I take beco bigger to reflect our feelings. The scenery flows faster than when I arrived here. I walk and ride the train as if running through the city at night.
Miyagi is ho today.
She said we were all working part-ti and won’t be going anywhere during the holidays. So she will be ho tomorrow and the day after.
When I was in high school, my place was Miyagi’s room, but now that house where I share a room with Miyagi is my place and also Miyagi’s place.
Eternity is not sothing I believe in, but if I could, I would like to be a college student who could live in that house as Miyagi’s roommate forever.
Thus, I work part-ti, take the train, and go back to the house where Miyagi is.
I want to repeat those days.
I turn away from the reality that I can’t keep repeating and think about what I can’t do, and then the station I need to get off at arrives and I get off at the platform.
After leaving the ticket gate, I walk down the street where I often et Mike-chan. But Mike-chan doesn’t often show her face at night, so I reach ho without seeing her.
I unlocked the door and went inside to find Miyagi’s shoes in place. When I entered the common space, I saw Miyagi struggling with a frying pan and called out to her.
「I’m ho.」
「Welco ho.」
Without looking at , Miyagi says,「Do you want so food?」
「I’ll eat… is this mapo tofu?」
Anticipate the dinner nu from the aromas wafting through the common space.
「Yeah, maybe.」
「Maybe?」
The voice I heard sounded so unsure that I moved closer to her. Then I looked at the frying pan and there was what looked like bean curd without any trace of tofu.
「It’s the sa when it’s in your stomach.」
Miyagi says it like an excuse.
「Looks good, doesn’t it? I’ll leave my bag. Wait for .」
The tofu should not be so crumbly that it makes the bean curd less tasty. And even if it is not good, I would not complain about what Miyagi has made.
I go back to my room and put my bag down.
I quickly return to the common area and help prepare dinner.
I prepare rice and bean-curd soup on the table.
Spoon to plate.
Chopsticks beco chopstick rests for cats.
And Miyagi is on the opposite side.
Everything is in place and I sit in my chair.
「Itadakimasu.」
Our voices co together and we both bring the bean-curd soup to our mouths.
I can’t wait to sit next to her.
With this thought in mind, I took a bite of the bean curd, which looked like tofu playing hide-and-seek.
