The case where I was gradually getting buried in the heavy love of my childhood friend who had miraculously recovered from their illness was perfect! - Chapter 55 : Plans and staying over!

Chapter 55 : Plans and staying over!

It was in the midst of dinner.

“Nagisa, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Yeah, what’s up?”

“Oh, are you busy now? Well, this is a good time, I guess.”

Is there something going on?

Thinking that way, my mother started talking.

“It’s almost May, right? We were discussing plans for Golden Week… thinking of going on a trip.”

“Yeah.”

A trip… that should be fine, right? As a son, I feel like they deserve to enjoy themselves and relax during this valuable long break. By the way, I had already informed my friends about my plans, so I had decided to stay at home even if something came up.

“Go ahead. I’ll be fine at home alone.”

“Thank you, Nagisa. But… we were thinking of Rion’s parents joining us too.”

“…Huh?”

Does that mean Takuma-san and Kurumi-san are also going? Wait… if that’s the case, do I sense what’s coming next?

“We can’t leave Rion alone, right? So, while we’re away, we thought it would be good for her to come over here.”

“…Stay over?”

“Exactly. She’ll probably stay here for about three days.”

Three days… so, a three-night, four-day trip. I don’t mind at all, so I was about to agree, but for some reason, I felt a bit nervous. Although we’ve been friends for a long time and stayed over at each other’s houses, spending three whole days together… When was the last time that happened?

“What about Rion…”

“If Nagisa is okay with it, she seems to be really looking forward to it. If it’s too much trouble, she can stay alone, but she said she feels safer being with you.”

“…Rion definitely finds this amusing, doesn’t she?”

Even if I refuse, she might persist, and even if she doesn’t say anything, I don’t want to leave Rion alone, even for a little bit.

“Alright — this Golden Week, I’ll spend it with Rion… well, I already have plans with friends, so I’ll have her stay alone at home for that day.”

So, it was decided that I would spend a few days with Rion.

‘Well… it’s probably because I talked about being aware of Rion.’

I can imagine Saijo-san laughing happily, and instead of being annoyed, I found her gestures really cute… It’s also frustrating at the same. After returning to the room, Rion called me.

“Hello?”

“Hello, good evening, Nagi-kun.”

“Good evening, Rion… You’re coming over to stay, right?”

“Oh, you heard about it.” Rion chuckled.

“I haven’t heard your answer yet… so, what do you think?”

“I know you already know how I’ll answer… just come over.”

“Yipee!”

Maybe, no matter the reason, I wouldn’t refuse. That’s how it’s always been, and if I refused, Rion would be alone. Even though we’re high school students now, if something happened during that time, I wouldn’t forgive myself.

Thinking that way, having her by my side feels reassuring… and it seems less lonely than being alone.

“For me, it’s heartwarming when you say you’re lonely. I can somehow tell by the tone of your voice.”

“……”

Why do I feel embarrassed even though she’s not here?

“Well then, I’ll be intruding during Golden Week.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Will I be staying the whole time?”

“Not the whole time… I’ll spend one day playing with my friends, because I can’t break my promise them.”

“I understand. Then on that day, I’ll hang out with Mana and the others too.”

From there, we couldn’t stop talking. We talked for about an hour, and our throats went dry, so we decided to continue the conversation after getting a drink. We talked for another two hours or so before finally ending the call.

“…Oh, if she’s staying for three days, I should probably prepare a room for Rion.”

It’s unlikely… it’s unlikely that she’ll stay in my room for three consecutive days, right? It’s already late today, so maybe I’ll do it tomorrow… and, before going to bed, I’ll go to the bathroom.

“Phew.”

After using the bathroom, I went to the living room for another drink.

“Mom?”

“Oh, you’re not asleep yet.”

“I talked with Rion for a while.”

“I see…”

“You two really get along.” Mom said, smiling.

“It’s a bit late to be saying that now… oh, by the way, Mom.”

When I asked about the room Rion would use, Mom tilted her head.

“Considering it’s Rion-chan, won’t she sleep in Nagisa’s room?”

“For three days?”

“Yes.”

“…..”

Well, I can’t really think about it now since it depends on what Rion says when she comes over. However, after returning to my room, I cleaned up a bit. 

Why did I do that, I wonder?
