Chapter 10 – Kaoru’s Mother
“Well, I’m going that way, so I’ll say goodbye here.”
Kirara said as the three of us were walking home together.
“Are you okay going home alone?”
“True… Kaoru’s house is nearby. I could walk you home after we drop her off.”
It’s pretty dark outside now.
Well, even so, Kirara probably goes home alone almost every day around this time…
When I think about it, she really does work hard.
She doesn’t neglect her friendships, and even though she works hard every day, she doesn’t show it.
“No, it’s okay! My house isn’t that far away either!”
“Really? But…”
“No! I’m really okay, so bye bye you two! See you on Monday!”
“O-okay. Bye.”
“Yeah, see ya.”
And so Kirara left by herself, as if to end the conversation early.
The reason Kirara wanted to go home alone was simple.
She didn’t want people to know that she lived in a… I know it’s a bad way to put it, but…a rundown apartment. She probably wants to protect her own image.
That’s why I didn’t insist on walking her home.
I knew it would only make things awkward for her.
Besides, I’d already decided that my top priority right now was Kaoru.
“Kaoru, shall we head home then?”
“Yeah!”
With that, we started walking again.
“Now that I think about it, that was surprising.”
“What was?”
“How should I put it… I thought for sure Kaoru wasn’t on good terms with Kirara. Especially after what happened with Yamazaki.”
“You’re right… To be honest, I wasn’t too fond of her, but after talking to her properly, I realized that Hiroshiki-san is a really nice person…”
“Really? Well, I guess I can kind of see that.”
That said, the truth is, I know very well that Kirara is a good person.
Now that Kaoru mentioned it, she and Kirara do seem like they’d get along really well as friends.
“Yeah, she’s always so cheerful and really kind to me… I think I’m starting to like her a lot. Of course, just as a friend.”
Kaoru said that with a smile. There’s no hint of a lie in that smile.
Regardless of any lingering feelings for Yamazaki, Kaoru genuinely wants to be friends with Kirara.
“I see…”
“Plus, people like Hiroshiki-san who are confident in themselves are really wonderful…”
Confidence, huh? Well, the truth is, Kirara isn’t as confident as she seems.
Because of her family situation, she doesn’t always feel secure about herself. She just doesn’t let it show…
“Yeah…”
After that, Kaoru and I chatted lightly on the way home.
——A little later, we arrived at Kaoru’s house.
“Alright, see you, Kaoru.”
“Yes. Thank you Kaito-kun…! A-anyway, c-can I ask you to walk me home again?”
“Of course. I’m usually at home doing nothing around this time.”
“I see. Then I’ll ask you again!”
When I replied, Kaoru answered with a beaming smile.
And at that moment, the sound of a car engine came and entered Kaoru’s garage.
“Oh, Mom…”
“Eh? Is your mother back?”
“It looks like it.”
“Uh… I guess I should head off then.”
As I was saying that, Kaoru’s mother got out of the car.
“Um… Are you Kaito-kun? You’re very tall…”
“Y-yes. My name is Ougo Kaito…”
I turned around and greeted Kaoru’s mother.
Kaoru’s mother looks just like her.
It would be more appropriate to say they’re sisters rather than mother and daughter.
“Kaoru, Kaito-kun and I have something to talk about, so you go inside the house first.”
“Eh… Okay. Well then, bye-bye, Kaito-kun!” (T/N: So cute~ („ᵕᴗᵕ„) )
“Yeah, bye.”
With that, Kaoru headed inside as her mother turned her attention to me.
“First of all, thank you for looking out for Kaoru. Not just today, but for helping her before too.”
Kaoru’s mother bowed her head as she said this.
“Oh, no, please! You don’t need to bow!”
“Really? But… are you sure it’s okay for us to ask you to pick her up from cram school?”
“It’s fine! I have a lot of spare time anyway.”
“I see… Still, I feel bad. It’s something we should be doing as her parents.”
“Not at all. I actually enjoy it, so leave it to me!”
Kaoru’s mother chuckled when I said this.
“That’s a relief… Kaito-kun, you really are a good kid. You know, this is only the second time Kaoru has mentioned a boy to me, so I was a little worried.”
The first one was definitely Yamazaki.
But it’s no wonder her mother is worried… No matter how much a parent trusts their child, they can’t help but worry. Especially when it’s about a boy their daughter just met not long ago.
“Is that so…”
“I’m sorry for doubting you, even though you helped Kaoru.”
“No need to apologize. I think it’s perfectly natural for a mother to worry about her daughter. I don’t mind at all.”
“Thank you, Kaito-kun.”
“Really, it’s no problem.”
“If you don’t mind, please continue to be friends with Kaoru… She seems to really trust you too.”
“Of course. I feel the same way, so I intend to.”
“I see. Please take care of her from now on, Kaito-kun.”
“I will. Well, I should probably get going now.”
“Okay. Sorry for interrupting.”
“It’s really fine.”
——After finishing my conversation with Kaoru’s mother, I went back home.
“I’m glad Kaoru’s mother seemed to have a good impression of me…”
I was a little worried that she might think I was a suspicious guy since I haven’t known Kaoru for long… but her reaction didn’t show that.
Well, maybe she did, but it seemed like everything was fine in the end.
“Even so, I’ve gotten used to this world quite a bit…”
It’s only been about a week since I was reincarnated, but I’m already adapting quite well.
Then again, it’s only because the environment I’m living in is almost the same as before I was reincarnated…
I’m still alone at home. It’s not like I had many friends before I was reincarnated either.
“Well, I guess it’s not so bad now…”
The heroines… Well, it’s just Kaoru, but we’ve gotten along well and spending time with her is honestly a lot of fun.
At first I was confused, but now I’m glad I was reincarnated.
“Besides, I might as well enjoy my second life.”
With that thought, I continued my walk home.

T/N: Okaa-san approved! Don’t think we’ll get oyakodon since Kaoru still has her Dad, but hey, a man can dream…
