Delivery Boy and Masked Girl - A delivery boy discovers the secret of a beautiful gal at his delivery destination. - Chapter 2: Lies and Secrets.

Lies and Secrets.

Shizuki closed the door and shouted through it, “Please wait a minute!” and finally opened the door again after a while.

It must have been at least ten minutes.

She looked frightened, and only her face was sticking out of the gap of the door.

For some reason, this time Shizuki’s hair was in loose waves and she looked like she was wearing makeup.

She also took off her glasses and looked exactly like the Shizuki one see at school.

She is a very beautiful girl, but the impression is still quite different.

Maybe that’s why it took her so long?

“….Hey, what’s up?”

“Oh, I-I’m sorry, Hasumi-kun! It seems that my younger sister came out earlier!”

“Sister?”

What are you talking about, Shizuki?

“Well. Not only do you two look alike, but you too also have the same face.”

“Y-yeah! That’s right! I actually have a twin sister! Hahaha…..”

“How did your twin sister know my last name?”

“Ehhh?!…..Well, that’s…..”

Shizuki’s eyes were blatantly swimming, and she seemed to be twisting her head frantically.

Her forehead also seemed to be sweating slightly.

“W-well! I’m the one who told her! I told her that there was a guy in our class named Hasumi-kun.”

“Why did you even bother to mention me again?”

I’ve never even had a real conversation with her before.

“Ehhh….Well, ahhh that, uhmm…”

Shizuki’s eyes were spinning in circles.

Maybe she’s getting baffled as she tries to come up with an excuse.

I guess Shizuki doesn’t want people to know that what I just saw is how she actually is at her house.

Whatever the reason, if that’s the case, there’s no need to go to the trouble of exposing what she’s trying to hide.

“Well, right, sister she was. Here’s what you ordered.”

I held out the paper bag containing the omelet-rice set to Shizuki.

But Shizuki’s eyes blinked as if she was out of sync, and she froze without accepting the bag.

“Ehh, excuse me…”

“What is it? You don’t want it, omelet-rice set?”

“Did you believe…me? I mean, about my sister….”

“Yeah, I believe you. I believe you.”

“…You are lying.”

“I’m not lying.”

“No, you’re lying! You absolutely did not believe me! UWAAA!!”

Shizuki shouted sorrowfully and began to stagger in an exaggerated manner.

But still, she was a noisy one even though it was night.

“You have to believe me! It was really my sister!”

“I believe you, …..I believe what you asked me to believe.”

“T-that…because….”

Shizuki’s face became tense as if she was cornered.

But given the circumstances, her having a twin sister is obviously a lie.

If it is true, you should be able to easily prove it by bringing her here and standing together with her.

But since she hadn’t done that, there was no doubt.

I’ve decided to believe it based on that, too, so she’ll have to make some concessions.

“It’s okay. You want to keep it that way, don’t you?”

“Ehh!? Well… that ….”

“Then I’ll believe you this time. So for now, just take the omelet-rice set.”

“Y-yeah…”

Shizuki nodded slowly, then took the bag from me with trembling hands.

Well, it seems like a lot has happened, but now the delivery is complete.

Thanks to the fact that the delivery destination was at the end of the line, I got an extra bonus, so I was lucky.

“….Please wait!”

“Hmm?”

I had just turned my back on her when she called out to me, and I turned to look at Shizuki again.

The delivery box I’m carrying on my back is huge and difficult to move.

By the way, why are you suddenly using polite speech?

“…Sorry, I lied about the twins.”

“…I see.”

Shizuki simply admitted to the truth as she turned her head to the side, looking embarrassed.

I think it’s probably because she gave up and felt guilty about deceiving me.

“H-Hasumi-kun, you’re not going to pull anything on me…..?

“Pulling anything on you? Why would I do anything like that?”

“Well, when I’m at home, I’m so ….you know, plain and….”

“It’s natural for people to be relaxed when they’re ….at home.”

And if you work this part-time job, you’ll see a lot of people dressed roughly when they pick up the package.

Neither the recipient nor the sender cares about such things.

“But I’m ….more …at school, so to speak…”

“Well, it’s flashy, I guess”

“….Yes.”

Hmm.

It’s true that the Shizuki of today is the complete opposite of the flashy and glamorous image she has at school.

Like her appearance, she has a more energetic or cheerful image at school.

Today, for some reason, she was quite quiet.

But that doesn’t change my impression of her.

“It was a surprise, and I was surprised, but that’s all. I’m not going to pull anything on you because of that.”

“……”

“Well then.”

“Ah! Hasumi-kun!”

I turned around again and faced Shizuki again.

I’m getting tired of it.

“…P-please don’t tell anyone about it…?”

“Oh.”

“Absolutely not!”

“Absolutely not I guess.”

“Never!”

“Never it is.”

“……”

Shizuki still had the same suspicious look on his face, but she didn’t say anything more.

It seems to have convinced her.

I left the apartment and swiftly proceeded downhill into the night.

It seems that even a beautiful rear-facing girl like Shizuki has many circumstances.
