The Case Where I had S with My Girl Friend Three Times

What I Like

“Oh, yeah! Right! A little more to the right! That’s right, stop!”

“Now…the rest is down to luck.”

“The arm here is quite weak. I hope we get it!”

We’re at the amusement centre on the third floor. We have tried the UFO catcher game in one of the corners. Due to the popularity of Uma Musume, a recently popular game, horse racing games also became quite popular. Now, we are testing our luck on a claw machine to get a horse stuffed animal.

“Oh! You grabbed it!”

“Ah, okay, okay. Now all I have to do is slowly move and drop it into the hole…”

I managed to win the horse stuffed animal within three tries. After that, we had a lot of fun trying different other games in the amusement centre.

“I need to go to the toilet.”

“Yeah, I’ll wait here.”

I said so and go to the toilet.

Iko’s side

“We ended up hanging around like we usually did when we were friends…but I enjoy spending time with Touya like this.”

I buy a drink from the vending machine and take a break. I also bought one for Touya.

He shouldn’t be long. Where should we go next…

“Uwaaaa!! Mom, where are you!!”

“!?”

I suddenly hear a child crying, and out of the corner of my eye I see a little girl. I think she is around four or five years old.

She must’ve been separated from her mother.

Even thought the little girl is crying out loud to find her mother, the people around just look at their phones and pretend not to notice.

…she’s lost. Touya handle this kind of thing better than me. Because he…

‘Hey, hey, look at Onii-chan~ Blehhh!’

A funny face, funny story…Touya would think of a number of ways to stop this child from crying.

I’m the type of person who doesn’t talk to anyone at school and spends time alone. Such a person, no matter how young the child is, I won’t be able to make her stop crying…I won’t be able to calm her down.

But…I can’t just ignore the little girl.

That’s why…

“Ah, umm…are you separated with your mother?”

When I approach the little girl, she stops crying. I think she is startled by a stranger talking to her.

I gently call out to her so that she doesn’t get scared.

“Would you tell Onee-san what happened?”

The little girl nods. Okay…

“Are you separated with your mother?”

“Yeah…”

“I see…can you tell me your mother’s characteristics?”

“Mom is mom…mom, where are you…uwaaaaaa!!”

The little girl starts crying again.

Perhaps she is scared because she is separated with her mother. If I don’t know her mother’s characteristics, I won’t be able to find her.

If the little girl doesn’t stop crying, it will be like I’m the one who made her cry…

Touya’s side

“Whew, that felt good…oh?”

After going to the toilet, I go to the place where I left Iko and find her with a little girl.

“Here, sweets. I’ll give you some sweets~”

“Uwaaaaa!”

“Oh, this is not good. I thought giving her a candy bar would make her stop crying. Umm, umm…”

Looking from the situation, it seems that Iko is trying her best to make the little girl stop crying.

Iko is not the best at communicating. She is used to talking with me, but it seems that she can’t make that little girl stop crying.

‘I don’t want to do something I’m not good at’ That must be what everyone thinks.

But she is…

“That’s right. I have my smartphone with me…umm, what kind of videos do little girls interested in? Cute videos? Funny videos? Or maybe some cartoons…”

Even though she is not good at communicating with other people, she is doing her best to make that little girl stop crying.

That’s what I like about Iko.

“Uwaaaa!!”

“Ah, she starts crying again…what should I do… Touya, where are you…’

It seems that Iko needs me, I should go over there.

“Iko!”

“Ah Touya, nice timing. That girl…”

“I understand the situation. Here, little girl. Look at the phone. See that cute little kitten?”

“Fue? Kitty-chan…”

“That’s right. It’s a kitty. Fluffy and cute little kitty… Look, it’s playing with its toy.”

The little girl seems interested in the video in no time.

After a while, she calmed down and started talking to us.

Then she was brought safely to the lost child centre and reunited with her mother. By the time she left, she was waving us goodbye in a good mood saying ‘Bye-bye, Onii-chan, Onee-chan.’

“Hey.”

“Hmm?”

“…couldn’t you come a little sooner?”

“Sorry, the toilet was a bit more crowded than I thought it would be.”

“I was struggling to make that little girl stop crying…you were just watching.”

“Eh, you noticed?”

“Ah, it’s true. I just said it on a hunch.”

“Eh…well, I went to help in the end. It’s good that she finally got reunited with her mother, right?”

“Hmm, I’ll pretend it never happened.”

“I’m really sorry…ah, that’s right, it’s almost lunchtime, I’ll buy you something.”

“That sounds great. Let’s get going now.”

The two of us starts to walk toward the food court.
