Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San? - Chapter 4.1
Sato Koharu’s Father—– Kazuharu was looking down with icy cold eyes.
What he was looking at was a smartphone that was glowing faintly at the bottom of the bathtub.
He rolled up the sleeve of his shirt and picked up the smartphone from the bathtub.
He had bought it for Koharu as a gift for her entrance into high school.
He never in his wildest dreams thought that he would get to find out how high the waterproof performance of latest smartphone models is in this situation but anyway he stared at the display.
Some Kind of app chat room was opened in the smartphone.
Kazuharu hadn’t installed “MINE” in his smartphone but he immediately understood how it works.
Koharu was exchanging messages with a boy named “Oshio Souta”.
And the call history up until the moment before Koharu collapsed in the bathtub is still there.
The notorious message sent from “Oshio Souta”.
“I like Sato-san”
[Oshio, Souta……]
He put the phone to sleep, wiped the water droplets off the surface with a towel that was close at hand, and tucked it into his breast pocket.
And said in a thin voice,
[…….Seems like Koharu isn’t ready for smartphone yet]
The sharp eyes peeking out from behind his glasses were as cold and wet as a blade.
♠️
I felt the glare of the morning sun shining through the window, even through my eyelids, and I opened my eyes.
My thoughts became clearer and clearer.
That’s my room and I’m currently on my bed but why would I have a futon at this time of year…….?
So I took a peek inside the futon and somehow I was naked.
[What!?]
I was so surprised because I didn’t have the habit of sleeping stark naked.
But the surprise triggered a gradual revival of my memories of yesterday.
——-that’s right.
I’m pretty sure I fainted in the bath and then my mother dragged me out and looked after me….
When I thought so far, I looked around restlessly.
And then I saw my smartphone on top of my study desk right next to the bed.
Did I bring it with me unconsciously? Or did my mother retrieve it?
Anyway, I wrapped my body with a poor excuse of futon and jumped onto my phone with great force.
If it wasn’t just a convenient dream that I had in the bath, then I was by Oshio-kun……
With trembling hands, I managed to wake up my smartphone from sleep mode.
Hereupon smartphones started up without any problem and showed it on the display.
There was a call history on the MINE chat room, and the message sent from Oshio, “I like Sato-san”.
It becomes real feelings rushing over to me.
My body ripples from my core and tells me. Yes, I was confessed to by Oshio-kun yesterday.
[……………!!]
I quickly clamped my mouth shut, jumped into bed, buried my face in the pillow, and screamed.
Of course, I was still stark naked.
No way, really? I, I was really by Os, Oshio-kun,…..!
His each and every word of confession revived inside my head clearly.
I still can’t believe that Oshio-kun confessed his love to me, but more importantly, I never thought that I would receive such a drama like confession in my whole life.
Even though it was through my phone, it was so close to my ear, so clearly… There was no way I could forget it! It has been deeply carved till inside of my ears!
[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!]
I pushed my own face down on the pillow and rolled around on the bed screaming.
Of course, stark naked.
It’s no wonder I’m like this. Because now I remembered!
“I’ve always liked you since the first time I met you.”
That’s what Oshio-kun said.
That’s, I don’t know when he meant by ever since out first first meeting. However, if it really meant what I hoped he really meant then Oshio-kun and I have been in mutual love from the first time we met.
Oshio-kun…… probably is more experienced then I am, probably not as hopeless and frazzled like I am and yet we felt the same way.
When I took the school entrance examination, when I was entangled by scary Onii-san and Oshio-kun helped me in the Cafe tutuji
When Oshio-kun taught me about how to take nice pictures in his room.
The time we took the selfie together, the time we had to gone to drink tapioca milk together, the time he rushed to my side when I was eating ice cream alone, all of it.
In all of the countless scenes that remain in my mind, Oshio-kun loved me.
I’m already too happy about that——-
——No, hold on.
[Huh?]
I came to my senses and sat up quickly.
Oshio-kun said that he likes me and I also know that our feelings are mutual.
That’s good, that’s good but…..
[What did I say to Oshio-kun’s confession?]
Ahh, I hadn’t thought about my response at all.
I desperately twist the inside of my head to dig up yesterday’s memory.
………..bad very bad.
Although I remember each and every word of the Oshio-kun confession, I couldn’t remember the reply I gave.
Because the moment I received the confession from Oshio-kun, my face became feverish, my mind went blank and I felt dizzy.
As I groaned, a vague memory came up.
a line I had uttered popped into my head.
ーーーーI also…… like…… Oshio-kun.
[I replied]
I’m glad, I breathed a sigh of relief.
