Chapter 47: I was used living to see Miyagi — 47
Translated by KaiesV

Surely, a one-day-at-a-ti schedule is not the way to go.
I can afford to think about what I did yesterday and what I am doing today.
When I think about it repeatedly, it stays strong in my mory. It is the sa as studying. On the way from ho to the prep school, from the prep school to ho, while taking a bath, on the bed before falling asleep. There were plenty of gaps for Miyagi to get into. So today, which is now Friday, I am still wondering what Miyagi did yesterday.
There’s only so much a high school student can do during sumr vacation, so I can only anticipate where she went.
Karaoke, shopping, watching movies, going to amusent parks, etc.
That’s about it, and there should be no indication that she went to a particularly unusual place.
Where did you go yesterday?
I could ask her now, but I don’t expect her to answer today what she didn’t answer when I asked her on Wednesday.
「Sendai-san, I don’t get it here.」
Miyagi, sitting next to , points to the top of the unfolded problem book with a pen.
「Ahh, this is——」
It is not so difficult to pull what I need from mory and say it. I know that this kind of thing is not tutoring and not worth getting paid for. But I couldn’t co to Miyagi’s house during the vacations without any reason, so I made up a reason.
I think Miyagi is aware of that.
Even the kiss on the neck that I gave her for doing her howork, Miyagi had every right to be angry. She don’t have to follow my argunt that I am not working for 5,000 yen.
Then why didn’t she get really angry after kissing her?
I would like to ask, but I don’t think they would answer this either if I asked. As the number of unntionables increases in this way, I fear that one day I will choke.
「…Yesterday, where did you go?」
Of the two words I had swallowed, I uttered the easier one to hear.
「I’ll answer if you do my howork.」
Miyagi simply answers and places the problem book in front of .
Well, this is how it goes, isn’t it?
She probably doesn’t intend to answer, because she probably thinks I won’t do her howork.
「I think we should call this a night.」
I closed Miyagi’s problem book and lean back on the bed.
「Isn’t it early?」
It’s only been an hour since we started studying, so if you ask if it’s early or late, it’s early. This is not the ti to say it’s over, so I’ll make one suggestion.
「It’s early. You can order around.」
「What’s that?」
「It’s not the kind of ti to finish studying, and I’m not teaching Monday, so that ans you can order around for that.」
In the first place, I would not utter the words that this is not tutoring.
「Stop making up new rules on your own like that.」
「There’s a handy word in the world called resourcefulness, and that’s okay.」
「It’s not okay.」
「Then, Miyagi can decide. Suggest sothing other than orders.」
Anything I do instead of leaving tutoring early is fine. I tossed everything to Miyagi because I was not sticking to the order, and Miyagi changed his opinion, as if she had no other ideas.
「… I’ll command you.」
「Alright. What do you want to do?」
「Now Sendai-san will take to her house.」
「Hah?」
「It’s always been my house, and it’s fine to go to Sendai-san’s house once in a while.」
Why did you decide to give such an order?
I would like to smash Miyagi’s head and crack it open to see what’s inside.
I have never invited friends over to my house since I started high school until now. I have been asked several tis to go visit, but I have turned them all down. It is not likely that my parents will co out of the house just because my friends are here, but there is a possibility that they will bump into each other.
If that happened, it would surely be a hassle. I didn’t want to go out of my way to let people know that I was not on good terms with my family, and I didn’t want to let people into my territory.
「I’m just kidding.」
Miyagi looks bored and opens the problem book I closed.
「I haven’t said anything about this yet.」
「I know you’re going to say no.」
「I don’t know that, you know?」
Saying so, I lightly slapped Miyagi’s thigh, who was wearing shorts like I was the day before yesterday, and she shook my hand off.
Perhaps this is a bad mood.
I suck in a breath and stand up vigorously.
「Let’s go, Miyagi.」
「Eh?」
「Eh, that’s not it. You told to take you to my house. Right, Miyagi?」
「That’s right.」
「If you won’t go, sit down.」
I’m not inclined to do so, but I’m willing to let Miyagi into my room. But if the person who said it was not willing to go, there is no need to force her to go to my house.
「I’m going, but are you going with ?」
Before I could sit down, Miyagi got up and said sothing ridiculous.
「You won’t understand unless we go together. Miyagi, do you know where I live?」
「I don’t know.」
Of course.
She have never asked where I lived, nor have I ever told her. I can’t go alone to places I don’t understand, so I have to go with them. But Miyagi stood up and would not move.
「If you have sothing to say, say it.」
「…Are you sure you don’t want to be seen walking alone with ?」
I don’t talk to anyone about what happened after school, and I don’t talk to anyone at school.
Because of that promise, no one knows that I am eting with Miyagi. It has always been our secret and will remain our secret. So she might want to say that I don’t walk together, but I might at least et a forr classmate by chance and walk together, and it would be a hassle to go separately to the sa place.
「It’s fine, I won’t mind.」
Miyagi bites back with a short answer.
「Tell and we’ll go separately. It’s better that way.」
I don’t know if she is concerned about or if she just doesn’t want to see hee own friends, but she spoiled by not wanting to go with them.
「It’s a hassle, and you should just go with . I don’t want Miyagi to get lost.」
「With a map, I won’t get lost. And I’m not directionally challenged.」
「Even if you do, you’ll go with . It’s not that far from here, and we won’t run into anyone if we walk together.」
The only acquaintance I’ve ever bumped into near my ho is Miyagi. She wouldn’t even et her friends.
I clear the table and grab Miyagi’s wrist. Then I left the room, dragging her with .
「We’re going to walk for about 20 minutes.」
I said as I put on my shoes at the door.
「That’s far.」
「It’s just near.」
If we walk quickly, we can get there in fifteen minutes, so it’s not that far.
We take the elevator to the entrance. I walk slowly out of the apartnt and Miyagi follows a little behind . I stop and wait for her.
「Can we stop at a convenience store on the way?」
I ask Miyagi, who has co up next to .
「It’s fine.」
「Then, let’s go.」
I paced and headed ho, trying not to leave Miyagi behind.
