Chapter 12 – You’re an Idiot. Senpai
“I made French toast, want some?”
I called out to Kyoka, who had just showered and dried her wet hair…
“Yeah, I’ll eat…but why french toast?”
“Huh? Didn’t you say you used to like them?”
“I did… You remember…”
Kyoka then looked away, a little embarrassed.
“You remember that I like that chocolate bar—”
And this time, I was the one to look away…
“…? What’s wrong with you? You suddenly shut up.”
“…No, forget it. I’ll bring you something to wear on top.”
“I don’t really need it. It’s almost July and it’s so hot and humid even at night.”
“But…”
Kyoka is wearing my T-shirt, and her breasts are so big that it’s a sight for sore eyes… Moreover, considering she’s not wearing underwear, I can’t afford to gaze at her too closely or for too long. The boundary has already been crossed.
“What…? Ah, you were just looking at my breasts, weren’t you?”
“Yeah, I did. And because things are getting out of hand, I’ll go get something for you to wear and cover up!”
“Why are you the one angry? …But it’s not like I mind it. If you want to look… Well, um…”
…She sure knows how to say something unexpected. …Well, if I’m being honest, I do want to look, but we’re probably going to have a serious conversation soon, and I won’t be able to focus if things continue like this.
“Anyway, I’ll get a hoodie or something, you go ahead and eat your french toast.”
I said that quickly and turned my back on Kyoka. Behind me, I could hear her muttering, ‘What’s with him…’ but I ignored her for now.
I went straight up the stairs in silence, picked up the hoodie I normally wear and went down the stairs at a fast pace.
“…Why am I so nervous?”
I calmed my heart, which for some reason was pounding needlessly, by exhaling heavily, and stepped into the living room once more…
“Here, take this. I’ll lend you my hoodie.”
“…Thanks.”
Kyoka thanked me surprisingly honestly and quickly put on my hoodie.
“…Eh? Where’s my fFrench toast? Did I leave it in the kitchen?”
The french toast that I prepared for the two of us has mysteriously disappeared from the table. Not just my portion, but Kyoka’s portion as well… I thought I had brought them with me, but it seems I had left the toast in the kitchen.
…Apparently I’m more nervous than I think I am—
“…I ate it.”
Then, as if interrupting my thoughts, Kyoka muttered something like that.
“Oh, really? But then again, mine is—”
“I ate both of them! …Is that so wrong? I’ve been walking around all this time and I was starving!”
Kyoka’s face turned bright red and she lowered her gaze. But wait, I only went to get the hoodie for a minute or so. Did she manage to eat both french toasts in that time? …Well, I suppose that would explain why her chest has grown so big.
“……”
“What, you’re not saying anything… Are you perhaps mad?”
“No, I’m not mad at you. …Well, how about we talk a little bit? Or if you’re tired, maybe you’d like to go to bed? If so, I’ll give you my bed for the night.”
The house is large enough for a family of three to have an extra room. So we have an extra room and a bed, but my parents’ room has not been cleaned for a while, and the futon has not been hung out to dry.
So today, I’m going to sleep on the couch over there and let Kyoka use my bed.
“…It’s okay. I’m not sleepy yet, so for a little while… I’d like to chat…in your room.”
“You want to talk in my room? I don’t mind, but there’s nothing in there. It’s just a desk, a chair, a bed, books and games, and I think you’ll be more comfortable here if you want to talk.”
“It’s okay. I haven’t seen your room in a while. So show me your room now!”
After saying that, Kyoka stood up and pushed me to the front of my room. …I don’t think this kind of thing is called guiding, but whatever.
“Then let’s get in. …Ah, there’s no cushion, so sit on the bed. I’ll sit on this chair.”
“Wait. …Why don’t you sit on the bed too. It’s easier to talk that way. right?”
“But…what about that thing we talked about earlier…?”
“What? You don’t want to?”
“…No, it’s not that I don’t want to, but…”
But sitting near a girl who has just showered is somehow nerve-wracking. I’m sure I’ll be told that I sound like a virgin again when I say that… Fine, whatever, I’ll just go with it.
“Okay, okay.”
And so we sat on the bed. Shoulder to shoulder. At such a distance, we’re not looking at each other, we just keep staring at the wall in front of us.
“……”
“……”
I kept silent for a while, expecting Kyoka to start, but I guess she’s thinking the same thing, and we both fell silent…
“…Hey? You, face there for a second.”
But unexpectedly, Kyoka said such a thing and pointed toward the window.
“Huh, why?”
So I asked the obvious question, but Kyoka blushed,
“Just do it, quickly!”
Like that, I reluctantly turned my gaze towards the window, meaning I turned my back to Kyoka, which made it somewhat difficult for me to talk to her. …Maybe Kyoka is finally starting to feel embarrassed about her outfit.
That’s why Kyoka told me to turn my back to—
“……”
All of a sudden, any of my misguided thoughts were easily dismissed by the soft sensation on my back.
“…Kyoka. …What’s wrong? It’s hitting me, you know? …”
“……”
Kyoka didn’t respond to my words. She just silently hugged me from the back. Even though Kyoka is wearing a hoodie, when she hugs me from behind, I can feel many different sensations directly and… Honestly it’s tough.
“…Are you…going to break your promise?”
But such evil thoughts were easily destroyed by that single word.
Promise.
I can only think of one promise I made to Kyoka.
“We promised to get married a long time ago. …But that’s just some children’s nonsense, right?”
“That’s now what I’m talking about. …I heard it from Sasana. She said that if we continue like this, Sasana and you will always be together…”
“So she told you that as well, huh…”
“…Is that true? You like Sasana and she likes you. …That means you’re really going to choose her? You broke your promise to me and went with her on your own…! That’s why you didn’t tell me about Sasana! You liar!”
Kyoka screamed, but still didn’t let go of her hand and just kept hugging me…
…When I think about it, something like this happened a long time ago. Kyoka and I have been together since we were really young. So when she found out I had an arranged marriage, she was just as angry and hugged me.
But then a lot happened, and eventually we all became friends. Kyoka, Rei, and I…
But when we met Sasana, everything fell apart.
But it’s not like Sasana is at fault either. After all, everything is a result of what we wished for.
“I have a promise with Sasana too.”
“…What? Are you saying that I’m not needed?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
I let out a deep breath once there. And then I decided to tell her a little secret I hadn’t meant to tell.
“The last time Sasana will appear in front of me will be next autumn…on my birthday, September the 22nd. After that, Sasana will no longer appear in front of me.”
“……”
Kagami stifled a breath behind me. But I continued with my words, paying no mind to it.
“So I made a promise to Sasana…that before she disappears, I’ll find a girl I think is more important than her.”
Because if I don’t, I’ll disappear with Sasana.
That’s why I need a girlfriend.
…But I decided not to tell her that much. Kyokai is a kind person deep down, so she might say something like, “Then I’ll be your girlfriend.”
But even if we do start dating, it’s meaningless if I can’t show more love to Kyoka than I show to Sasana, and above all, Kyoka has her own life.
So I can’t just go out with her for my own convenience.
“…Why are you making such a promise? If you both love each other, then why would she disappear…?”
“It’s fine… You understand it too, don’t you? Miracles come at a price. I knew that from the beginning and I wished for it. Then I can’t complain about it now.”
I’ve had enough of the summer with Sasana, the summer that was never supposed to come. So now I have to prepare to say goodbye.
For me to live tomorrow.
“…I see. So you’re looking for a girlfriend then?”
“Well, that’s a stupid way of putting it.”
“……Fufu… I see. I understand now… Fufu…”
For some reason, Kyoka bursted out laughing and hugged me tightly.
“Well, anyway, that’s why I’m still holding off on my promise with you. …But if you say you like me, then—”
“Baka. How can that be? What are you talking about?”
“You started it, didn’t you?”
“Forget it!”
“Anyway, can I ask you to let me go now? Your… They’re hitting me, and I’m not really comfortable…”
“No. I’m going to sleep like this tonight. …You should just lose sleep thinking about me.”
Then she pushed me down, and soon Kyoka started to breathe in her sleep. Thus, I spent a long night in agony with Kyoka in my arms.
In the end, I didn’t get to sleep until after the sun came up.
◇
The next morning. Akanami Kyoka slowly woke up. …Well, in the end, she couldn’t sleep at all, so saying that she woke up might be a bit misleading.
“……”
Kyoka rubbed her reddened eyes and slowly raised herself up so as not to wake Naoya.
“Fufu, sleeping like a child… He looks like an idiot.”
Muttering this, Kyoka let out a giggle. For a long time, she has been trying not to think about Naoya. Kyoka has always loved Naoya, but…more than that, she was afraid of what had happened in the past.
She blames herself for hurting Naoya and saying terrible things to him.
Above all, recalling that pool of red blood still sends shivers down her spine.
“But I’m going to change.”
Kyoka had been wishing the whole time. All through the night when she hugged Naoya, she kept wishing that time would just stop.
But eventually the sun rose and morning came.
No matter how much she wished, time never stopped.
…If so…
“If time doesn’t stop, at least I can spend time with you. I don’t want to dwell on past traumas forever. That’s why I’m going to get your heart back from Sasana. I won’t let Rei-chan or that Tenzaki girl have it. Because I—”
—I love you so much.
Kyoka muttered this in her mind and left Naoya’s room.
The rain had cleared up overnight, and the morning sun was shining on a girl smiling happily.
“…Fufu.”
And so the girl’s time, which had been standing still for so long, slowly began to move.
(T/N: Best chapter so far, also the longest so far. Got to know more about the promise between Naoya and Sasana, and more importantly, Kyoka’s feelings.)
