Lonely Me And The Lonely Caring Goddess - Chapter 129 - Overnight Stay

Chapter 129 – Overnight Stay

“Sara-san… will you listen? Until now, nobody believed me, so I gave up on telling others. But if it’s Sara-san, I wanted to tell you all about it.”

I resolved to tell her everything.
I wanted to reciprocate Sara-san’s determination.

“However, it will take quite a long period. Since it’s late, and Sara-san is probably tired, tomorrow…”

She suddenly made calls on her smartphone, making my words left unfinished.

“Mother, I am sorry, but I won’t go home tonight… Yes, I will be staying at Kazunari-san’s house… Alright, I understand.”

Probably because the call was over, Sara-san put down her smartphone and placed it back in her bag.

Umm, did she just say she’ll be spending the night here?

“Now we can take our time. Also, at this point, I can’t leave Kazunari-san’s house alone and go back home.”

Spending the night… Sara-san will spend the night at my house!?

“But, but, how about your change of clothes?”

Since I was nervous, I said something I should not have. I should not have asked that.

“Mother will bring me my clothes later… And I think Mother said she wanted to talk to Kazunari-san about something.”

Talk… I wonder… if it’s about that?
Please don’t add additional pressure on me!

“Then, before our talk… Let me make Kazunari-san a meal.”

Sara-san then opened up the refrigerator and started rummaging. She opened up the freezer and found something to cook.
She believed that I hadn’t eaten dinner yet… and indeed, she was right.

“I found something that I can use. It’s frozen food, so that it won’t take long.”

As for me, I had given up cooking for myself. I hadn’t even remembered that there was that kind of ingredient in the fridge.

And as we stood in the kitchen while waiting for the ingredients to defrost, Sara-san’s gaze caught the trash bag.

In there were a lot of leftover noodle cups.
Oh, sh*t! I was about to throw the garbage today.

“Mou~, Kazunari-san. Didn’t I tell you that instant noodles are bad for you?”
“S-Sorry. It’s a bad habit.”

Before meeting Sara-san, my meal for the entire day was instant noodles, so I reverted to my old habits when I was alone.

“Ba~d, Kazunari-san!”

Sara-san slowly approached and lightly flicked my forehead.
It’s here—my usual daily routine came back.
Sara-san was back.
Sara-san, who I always wanted to see, was smiling at me.
And before I knew it, my happiness overflowed, and I forgot all my anxieties.

——————————————

After eating the meal and taking a breather, Sara-san’s phone rang.

“Okay, I’m coming… Kazunari-san, it looked like mother had arrived. I’m going to get my belongings.”
“I-Is that so? Then let me help. Didn’t you say she had something to discuss with me?”

With that, we went out towards the front door.
Mayumi-san was waiting outside the car.

“Mother, thank you very much for understanding.”
“Mou~, Sara-chan suddenly said that she’ll stay over. Then, take this.”

She handed Sara-san a travel suitcase… and a clothes cover for a school uniform.
I forgot all about it, but the school will resume tomorrow.

“Takanashi-san, I’m sorry for suddenly coming over this late at night. Sara-san, take that with you and go first. I have something to discuss with Takanashi-san.”
“Alright. Then I’ll go in first, Kazunari-san.”

Since Sara-san knew that Mayumi-san had something to tell me beforehand, she obediently agreed and went in first after receiving her belongings.

“Now, then. It’s nothing big, really. Takanashi-san is a boy, so you know what I wanted to say, right?”

Saying it in a roundabout way and expecting me to guess…
But she doesn’t need to worry since I already know it.

“I know. I understand.”
“Then let’s make this short. Sara-san does not understand the consequences of her actions. I’m sorry, Takanashi-san, but please take care of her.”

As a parent, they will be worried if their daughter suddenly stays at another man’s house.
Since Mayumi-san trusted me, I would never do anything that would betray their expectations.

“Alright.”
“Then, I will be going now.”

Afterward, Mayumi-san got in the car, waved goodbye, and drove off.
After seeing her off, I saw Sara-san checking up on her stuff and uniform.

“Welcome back. What did you discuss with Mother? Did she say anything strange?”
“There’s a little that we talked about. It’s the usual greeting, and afterward told me to take care of you.”

What I’ve said isn’t a lie, right?

“Hmm… is that so? Well, I sprung this up without checking with Kazunari-san after all. By the way, is it okay for me to take a…”

Sara-san asked with a slightly worried expression. However, I am okay with it.

“It’s okay. I might not have agreed to hand over the keys if I had refused something like this. Also, I will be going to the convenience store. Will thirty minutes be enough for you to shower and get changed?”

I should have paid more attention, especially when her clothes arrived. I wanted to give her an hour, but…

Looking back at Sara-san, she showed a surprised reaction. She probably did not expect me to say that first.

“Thank you. Then I’ll gratefully accept it. However, you are free to stay in the room. Like when I washed Kazunari-san’s back before.”

If she said it like that… is it okay?

“Then, let me borrow your bath. Excuse me, but please wait for a while.”

Saying so, Sara-san went headed for the bathroom.
She has complete trust in me.

Well, let’s do that.

While Sara-san was taking a bath, I sent Yuji a message.

A report on this situation and my decision to discuss the past…
