Just After New School Term.
Today is the 6th of January. Three days have passed since I left the hospital, and it’s the fourth day. A lot has happened in the past three days: …When I called my grandparents to tell them that I was in the hospital due to overwork, they were really worried about me and asked me to come home, but I managed to refuse since I have Miyu now. They said they would pay for my hospital stay, which was nice, but they also said I should come home once, so I promised to come home once during spring break.
In addition, Miyu started a part-time job. She didn’t listen to me, saying that since we were going to live together, it wouldn’t be right for me to keep paying the bills. Besides,
“I don’t want Kazuya-kun to overexert himself and collapse again…”
I couldn’t say anything back if she said that.
Anyway, Miyu got a part-time job on the same day she went for the interview and started working the next day, isn’t that just too amazing? By the way, Miyu’s part-time job is at a bookstore.
I also realized that it was the beginning of the year, so I made osechi (Japanese New Year’s dishes) in a hurry. No, seriously, there’s so much going on every day that I didn’t even notice that the year had started …I mean, I collapsed on New Year’s Eve, so I didn’t have time to think about it. My New Year’s Eve was spent in a hospital bed.
My busy winter vacation is over, and school starts again today.
“Miyu. I don’t know how many times I’ve told you this, but don’t ever tell anyone that you’re living with me, okay?”
“Huh. …I know. It’s like the fifth time already, you know? Besides, I don’t have any other kids in my class to talk to, do I?”
“…I’m sorry.”
That’s right ….Miyu-san was a loner …In that sense, it seems that I have to be more careful.
“So, let’s go to school.”
“Yes… wait a minute. Why are we supposed to go together?”
“We live in the same house. Isn’t that normal?”
“Did you hear what I said? Why are you going with me if we don’t want someone to find out about it? Besides, there might be some weird rumors going around that Miyu and I are suddenly getting along?”
Miyu seems to be smart, but sometimes she’s somewhat out of it. …is it good? And, it seems that Miyu doesn’t have any friends to talk to in class but I’m worried that she might pop off at some point…
“…Do you hate it when people talk about how close you are with me?”
“No, that’s not what I mean. …You don’t want rumors circulating that you’re in a relationship with me, when you’re not?”
“I don’t mind, though.”
“!?!”
Are you saying that you don’t mind if rumors start that you’re dating me? Is that… No, I don’t think so. It probably means that you don’t have any friends anyway, so it wouldn’t bother you. It was dangerous, dangerous, and completely misunderstood.
“…That’s really not a good idea, is it? I’ll come after you so you can go to school first.”
After I said that, Miyu glared at me and then sighed as if she had given up.
“…Kazuya-kun, you are an idiot.”
Then she walked out of the house. What am I being stupid about? Maybe, in general, I’m doing the right thing. …No, I’m not doing the right thing when I’m living alone with a girl from my class…
Then, after about 10 minutes, I also left the house and arrived at the school. I had already told Miyu how to get to the school, so when I entered the classroom, she was sitting in her seat reading a book.
“Yo, Kazuya! Happy New Year!”
“Yeah, Happy New Year.”
The person who came to talk to me was Kaga Shinya. We’ve been friends since junior high school, and although we hang out as much as we’d like, we often hang out together at school. Well, even when he invites me out, I just turn him down.
“Hey, Kazuya.”
“What is it?”
When I asked, Shinya looked around and whispered to me,
“You’re dating Shiroyume-san, or rather living with her, aren’t you?”
“…Wacc?”
Could it be that they already know? Even though I told Miyu so much, and why does he already know about it before school started? Why?
“I saw it, you know. I was about to go shopping at the convenience store where you work, when I saw Shiroyume-san and Kazuya holding hands as they left.”
“….I think you’re mistaken….”
“I was definitely not mistaken. Shiroyume-san is cute, she’s an eye catcher even from a distance. And if you’re the one beside her, it’s even more eye-catching to me.”
…This is the kind of situation where you can’t make excuses. I mean, how did they even know we were living together just because he saw us coming home from the convenience store?
“I was curious, so I followed you, and she went into the room with you…”
“Oii, don’t follow me or I’ll call the cops.”
“Then I got curious, so I went over to your house to check on you… and I saw Shiroyume-san going in and out of your house like it was a normal thing…”
“I can sue you now, right?”
He’s a total stalker! I don’t know if he’s stalking me or Miyu, but it’s totally a legal matter!
“So ….it’s really true, isn’t it?”
There’s no way I can fool him now…
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
“Do you want to come with me to the police station?”
“You’re going to get charged with stalking too, okay?”
“Well, I’m sure Kazuya has a good reason, right?”
“Huh …I’ll explain it all to you later, so don’t spread rumors or anything, okay?”
“That depends on the reason I guess. Well, homeroom will be starting soon, so let me know after school, okay?”
In that way, I’m sure he kept it a secret and won’t tell anyone. I’m really glad it was Shinya who found out. …If the other guys had found out, it would have been really bad…. Well, now that I’ve been found out, I have to explain the reason, but how much should I tell him? I sent Miyu a message on LINE to explain the details of what happened and how much I should tell him, and she replied immediately, saying that she would join me when I’ll explain the reason to him.
“Huh …I can’t believe I’m thinking about this so early in the school year…”
As I was thinking about this, the opening ceremony was over and school was scheduled till the morning for today, so it was soon after school.
