A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 37 - First Introduction To America

Chapter 37 – First Introduction To America

I said, “Be careful, Sky. In America, there are usually purse-snatchers and the like.”

After a 10-hour flight from Japan to Los Angeles, Alice and I got off the plane.

“..What… seriously?”

“It’s for real. I was surprised because Japan is too safe. I don’t think you have to worry about it in the sky, but there are fights and such in unsafe places.”

“Otto…America is a more dangerous place than I thought…”

A freer country! Freedom! I thought it would be a free country, but that image is about to be overturned.

After receiving my carry-on case and getting out of the airport, I experienced a heat that could be described as hot and humid in Japan, but here I felt as if I was going to dry out.

“It’s hot…seriously, this temperature? What’s with that outfit!?”

I was surprised to see someone wearing a dress that exposed her belly button and bare legs, and at the same time, Alice poked me in the side with her elbow.

“Oguh…”

“That’s the way she dresses! Don’t admire her! I’m going to dress her that way, so you’ll just have to put up with me…”

“It’s not just patience, it’s a reward…”

No, but Alice is much more beautiful than American beauties…. How could she fall in love with me?

“Hey, come on, let’s take a cab!”

We got into a cab that was waiting for us near the airport and headed for Alice’s house.

………

……

…

“B-Big…”

Alice’s house was big. The house is much bigger than my house, and I feel bad that I let her live in my house.

“Haha, you’re overreacting~”

“B-By the way, can I ask you what your parents do for a living?

“My dad is the president of an AI-related business, and my mom is a fashion designer, I think.”

“Why are you being so vague?”

It is usually too strange to be vague about such a great profession, and even more so about the profession of your parents.

“Because I’m not really interested in anything outside of Sora.”

“I feel happy…but not happy…”

It was right after that. The door of the house opened wide, and a blond boy ran out of the house and hugged Alice.

“Alice!”

“Wah!”

The boy was so close to Alice’s body that my heart involuntarily throbbed and ached.

(It’s okay. In America, a hug is a greeting.)

I remind myself over and over again to calm down.

“It’s been a long time, Alice! It’s good to see you!”

“Let me introduce you to Sora. This is Zeke. He is my third younger brother.”

“Ah…what…younger brother…”

I thought from the bottom of my heart, I’ve lost my mind worrying about her…

“Hee, so this is Alice’s boyfriend?”

“Yes! He’s cool, he’s cool, he’s all cool already! I love him already!”

“Alice! Stop it, it’s embarrassing!”

If you tell me that outside, I really want you to stop because it’s really embarrassing. Just as I thought that, a soft feeling suddenly enveloped me.

“Mugah!”

“Ahn! It’s been a long time, Sora! You’ve become so handsome! You were cute in kindergarten, but I like the Sora-kun now!”

“Wha!? Mama! What are you doing!? Sora is mine, don’t take him away from me!”

What’s with this chaotic air… 

As expected of America…
