Chapter 66 – Sakura Blooms Again
The weekend was over, and the days passed without incident or upheaval.
That said, that doesn’t mean nothing had changed. One thing was the way others looked at me. My classmates started talking to me more, and I felt like I was getting closer to everyone little by little.
And another thing. Kaede’s seat had disappeared from our class. The reason that was made public was that he had transferred schools due to family circumstances. However, it seems that Himezaki was informed that it was effectively an expulsion. Since Sakura’s seat wasn’t removed from Akari’s class, it’s likely that their parents got divorced. As for the details after that… I don’t really want to know. It’s not something pleasant.
So, with these changes, I continued my ordinary life on September 20th, Friday. On my way back from buying various things at the convenience store, I noticed a woman moving furniture in the apartment parking lot.
“Phew… S-sho…”
It was a desk that looked too heavy for a woman to carry by herself. I was wondering whether to help her, when my eyes met the woman’s.
“Ah… I’m sorry…”
The woman bowed her head apologetically. Given my face, it was understandable that she’d react like that upon first seeing me. Feeling a bit awkward, I decided to help her.
“I’ll help you. Which floor?”
“No, it’s fine…”
“Don’t worry about it. As you can see, I’m confident in my strength.”
“…Then… thank you.”
I took the desk from the woman and carried it to the room on the floor she told me about…
“Ah… We’re next door.”
“Eh… What a coincidence…”
The room she told me about was next to mine, and I realized that this woman was the one who had recently moved in. Come to think of it, there have been some movers coming and going recently. It looks like there were still some things left…
“…If you don’t mind, I can help you with the rest.”
“No, it’s okay! I can’t ask you to do that much…”
“It’s fine. I have plenty of time today.”
“…Then, if you don’t mind…”
I pressed a little harder. It wasn’t because I was concerned about her or anything, but because I already knew. If I had seen her and ignored her, I would keep thinking about it for the rest of the day. That’s why I decided to help my neighbor with her work so that I could sleep with a clear mind.
After that, I finished carrying all the furniture to the front of her room. When I was about to return to my own room, the woman called out to me.
“…Please… Can I do something as a thank you…?”
“Oh, it’s totally fine. We help each other out in times of need. Besides, we’re neighbors.”
“…I understand. Thank you so much for today.”
The woman bowed deeply, and I returned to my room, feeling a little embarrassed.
Even so, I felt like I’d seen her face somewhere before. I couldn’t help but feel like it reminded me of someone. But I couldn’t remember who it was.
Anyway, I’m really glad that my neighbor seems like a kind person. Maybe it’s the result of my usual good deeds.
While thinking about such trivial things, I decided to finish my housework early in preparation for tomorrow’s part-time job.
Time passed and it was Monday, September 23rd.
The last part-time job shift after the long weekend. My shift is from morning to evening. I’ve worked really hard these past three days, considering I took the previous week off. As a reward to myself, I’ll go to the supermarket on my way home and get myself some expensive meat.
With that in mind, I worked hard from the morning, and when my shift was over, I headed straight to the nearby supermarket.
Then, while I was looking around the meat section, my eyes met a familiar woman again.
“Oh… Thank you for your help the other day…”
“No, it’s really fine.”
The woman also seemed to have come to do some shopping, but her cart was noticeably full. Even if she was stockpiling, it seemed like a lot… Well, it’s no use worrying too much about others’ circumstances.
“…If you’d like, how about tonight? As a thank you for the other day…”
The woman showed some cans of beer from her basket and invited me to have a drink. I liked alcohol, so I would have accepted the invitation as a thank you, but…
“…Sorry, I’m underage.”
“Eh…Ah, I’m sorry!! Ahh… So embarrassing…”
“No, it’s okay. I’m used to it.”
Well, with my appearance, it’s no wonder people thought I was a college student living alone. I gave her a cheerful smile and quickly left the place.
Even if she’s my next door neighbor, it’s no good getting too close. Besides, it would be hard to explain to Akari and the others if I went up to a woman’s place just because I was invited. Moderation is best.
That night, as planned, I cooked a sumptuous dinner by myself, thoroughly savoring the deliciousness of the expensive meat. All of this was thanks to the cooking skills I had learned from Shiori.
And so, the day came to an end and it was already Tuesday, September 24th. As I got ready as usual and left the house, at the same time, the door to the house next door opened.
“Sakura. Did you forget anything?”
“No, I didn’t! I’m not a child anymore, you know! Well, I’m heading out now… Eh!?”
“…Morning.”
I met the high school girl’s eyes and was so surprised that I greeted her normally. Then the small, cute high school girl pointed at me while trembling.
“W-w-w-w-w-why?!!”
“…That’s what I was supposed to say.”
“What’s wrong, Sakura?! Eh…that uniform… Could it be…?”
The woman also came out of the room and, seeing me in my uniform, had a look of surprise on her face.
“Wait!! So the neighbor who was kind to my mom was…!!”
The small girl was making a big fuss in the morning, shaking her head back and forth between me and the woman, her voice rising.
“Yeah, that’s right. Sakura… Do you know this person?”
“No, well… I mean, I wouldn’t say we’re acquaintances… How should I put it…”
The girl blushed and suddenly deflated, not knowing how to answer when asked about her relationship with me. I crouched down so that my eyes were on her level and called out to her gently.
“…Welcome back, Sakura.”
“W-whaah?!”
There were many things I wanted to say and ask her, but these words are probably the best for now. I had chosen them with that in mind, but…
“…!!! Enemy of women!!!!!!”
“Again with that, huh——Ouch!!?”
Sakura kicked me in the shin with all her might and ran off.
“That damn girl…!!”
“I’m sorry! That girl is really… I’ll give her a good scolding…”
“…Well, it’s okay.”
The woman bowed her head in Sakura’s place, and I lost all interest in chasing her. Still, I’m glad to see Sakura doing so much better.
Rubbing my shin, I stood up and looked at the woman again.
“…I can’t believe you’re Sakura’s mother.”
“Thank you. I can’t believe you and Sakura knew each other…”
“My name is Ibuse Reo. Sakura and I… Well, a lot of things happened.”
“I see… So that’s your name. Then, I’ll introduce myself now.”
Sakura’s mother looked convinced after hearing my name, and then told me her name with a gentle smile.
“I’m Adachi… Adachi Kaoru. That girl is Adachi Sakura. Please, continue to get along with her.”
“…I’d be happy to.”
After introducing ourselves, we bowed to each other. We both felt a little embarrassed, but we both hid it with shy smiles.
