- Chapter 70 - Incident
“Up this goes.”
It has been three months since I started living with Sora. Things have been busy since then. The way I did all the housework and Sora worked part-time to earn money seemed to be pretty good, and we lived happily without any minor fights.
“But…is this enough…?”
Right now I am very happy. I couldn’t be happier. Being able to go to college with the person I love, eating dinner together, taking a bath together, sleeping together… spending the night together… If I were to receive anything more than this, I wouldn’t know what to give back.
At Christmas, we had a contest to see who can make the other happier. The game is already decided, but Sora makes me happier. It makes me more dependent on him.
It was like a drug, an addiction, and I was sure I would never leave.
But…I may end up falling apart from Sora.
The reason for this is that Sora has been going out a lot lately. Could it be…cheating on me?
“No! Sora would never do such a thing!”
The moment those words come out of my mouth, I try to shake them out of my head. But the more I try to shake it off, the stronger it gets.
“No… Sora…won’t…”
He’ll never do it. I believe that. I believe it. But the doubt in the back of my mind won’t stop the feelings from welling up.
“Fueeh…”
I was half in tears when I heard the front door open. I heard the front door open, and a few seconds later, the living room door opened.
“Hey Alice, I’m ho…!? What’s wrong? Why are you crying! Did something happen!?”
“S-Sora…”
Sora came back. That alone gave me a sense of relief and I hugged him.
“I’m sorry…Sora…I…thought…Sora might have cheated on me…I suspected you…”
“Hah…!? Ah… I-I see… I haven’t been paying attention to you lately…it’s natural for you to be worried about me. I’m sorry…”
Sora hugged me saying that.
No…wrong. It was all my fault.
It was all my fault for doubting him.
“I won’t come to hate you. There’s a reason why I haven’t been giving you any attention lately.”
“Reason…?”
“…That… that… Uh… I…can’t do housework… so… I’ve been taking cooking classes and learning about housework in general. I can’t trouble you alone…”
When Sora gave an answer that’s typical of him, I felt a sense of relief and understood.
“No way…and you just left me alone?”
But at the same time, I’m angry.
“Heh…heh? Ah, Alice-san…?”
I see~! This is a burden to me, that’s what you’re saying, isn’t it, Sora-san! I see!
“I’m getting looooots of things from Sora! So I’ll at least do the housework! In fact, in order to pay back everything, I need to work part-time too! So all Sora does is to take care of me and heal me! If I have to be honest, that’s all I need!”
Saying this, I tightened my hug on Sora.
So… today… you should be more attentive to me… you idiot.”
