A Girl I Worked With At A Convenience Store Was In A Difficult Situation, So I Told Her To Come Live With Me, And She Was Fantastic As A Wife. - Chapter 7: Your Smile Makes Me Happy.

The one smiling in front of me was Natsume Koshiba, a gal JK who also worked part-time at the same convenience store.

“So, for how long have you two been dating? Have you kissed yet? Have you rubbed her tits? Perhaps …… sex too …… Kyaaa!”

“Koshiba, shut up!”

I raised my voice and Ando-san next to me was startled.

“Hiya!”

“Ah, I’m sorry, Ando-san. I scared you.”

“N-no. It’s fine.” She said,

“I mean~, aren’t you super nice to Hiyorin? You’re so strict with me.”

“That’s because you’re an idiot.”

“Ah~, power harassment again~!”

“You, don’t say that in public, so please stop.”

“Ehehe~. Then, today’s lunch is Tsugutsugu’s treat~”

“Hah~, all right.”

I said with a sigh.

“U-um, Matsuo-san.”

“Hmm?”

“You’ve already paid for my haircut and clothes, I’ll pay for this myself.”

Ando-san said.

I smiled at her and said,

“It’s fine, but thank you.”

And I placed my hand on her head.

“Heh.”

“Ha”

“If you don’t hesitate and eat a lot, I’ll be happy.”

“Y-yes. ……”

Ando-san nodded.

“I see. Tsugtsugu.”

“What?”

“So you’re going to feed Hiyorin a lot of food and nurture her, aren’t you?”

“Nurture?”

“Yeah, Her boobs and all.”

“Koshiba, Go home.”

I said with a big smile.

“Uwah! Tsugutsugu, you’re so evil~!”

“Don’t call me evil just for this.”

“But, but~, even Tsugitsugu would be happy if Hiyori’s tits were bigger, right?”

“You really have no restraint or rather rude.” I shrugged,

“Ando-san is already cute enough as it is.”

“Hah?!”

I feel like Ando-san uttered something next to me, but I continued telling Koshiba.

“Well, yeah. I’m worried that she’s a little too skinny right now. I hope she’ll eat more and get healthier, though it’s probably none of my business.”

“Hey hey, Tsugutsugu. Look next to you.”

“Huh?”

I looked at Ando-san next to me, at the behest of Koshiba, who was grinning for some reason.

“…Funyaaa~”

For some reason, she sounded listless.

“A-Ando-san? Are you okay? Could it be that you’re not feeling well?”

She was still a bit unstable due to her past trauma. So today’s outing may have been a burden for her.

“…N-No, It’s not like that.”

“I-I see.”

“But …my chest is aching.”

“A-As expected, Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”

“N-No, it’s not that. ……”

Ando-san blushed slightly and said in a weak voice.

“Tsugutsugu, So lovey dovey~. As expected, innocent couples are different.”

“Like I said, Koshiba. Me and Ando-san don’t have that kind of relationship.”

“So what kind of relationship is it then? Your relationship, it’s obviously closer than before, isn’t it? I can tell when we work part-time together, you know?”

“That’s ….”

Then the food was brought to us. After the waiter walked away.

“… Ando-san. May I tell her?”

When I asked her, she hesitated, but nodded. I then explained to Koshiba about her situation and I also told her about my current living arrangement with Ando-san.

“….hicc…Uuu”

And Koshiba was crying.

“K-Koshiba, are you all right?”

“I-I’m fine …….”

Koshiba wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Hiyorin, eat this.”

Saying this, Koshiba sliced the hamburger steak and put it on Ando-san’s plate.

“Ko-Koshiba-san? That’s bad. You must be hungry, right?”

“My hunger is nothing compared to Hiyorin’s hardship.”

Koshiba said in a nasal voice.

“Here, a handkerchief and tissues.”

I gave it to Koshiba.

“Thanks, Tsugtsugu…….”

Koshiba wipes her tears with the handkerchief.

“Zuuu!”

(T/N: She is blowing her nose sfx for that)

“Oi! I went to the trouble of giving you a tissue too, why are you doing it all with the handkerchief!”

“Ah sorry, I just …”

“Hah, well, that’s okay.”

I let out a sigh.

“…… Fufufu.”

Next to me, Ando-san let out a laugh.

“Ando-san?”

“Ah, Excuse me. …… your interaction was so funny…”

Ando-san had tears in her eyes again. But they were a little different from the tears she had shed before.

“…Shall we eat?”

I said with a smile on my face.

“Well then, Itadakimasu!”

Koshiba said cheerfully.

“Itadakimasu!”

Ando-san said with teary eyes. Then we ate the food.

“… Delicious.”

“Good to hear.”

“Hiyorin, please eat the hamburger steak I gave you.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“And after this, Hiyorin, who was fattened up by me, was eaten by Tsugutsugu. Yes, a perfect assist!”

Kiran

“Koshiba, shall we go home?”

Smile.

“Wahn! That smile is so devilish~!”

To be honest, it’s embarrassing to mess around in the restaurant too much, and I’d like to refrain from that. Ando-san laughed happily, so I decided to tolerate it at least for today.
