When My Doorbell Rang at 5am, I Got a Wife

Chapter 49: The Thoughtful Man

I looked at Erika with a puzzled expression.

“Sorry, Erika, what are you talking about so suddenly?”

“Tooru. Hinagiku-san wouldn’t visit someone’s house at 5 am in the morning without any reason during an emergency. In other words, she came here because she had a reason.”

“I see? So, if she came here, she might have found a way to resolve the crisis of the world’s destruction!”

“As expected of Erika-san. You see through everything, don’t you?”

Wow, it seems so!

Erika is amazing, seeing through everything!

Hinagiku-san is amazing, having a plan!

Everyone here except me is super amazing!!!

“Of course, I’m the wife of Tooru, the hero who saved the otherworld ‘Di Maria’.”

“Why are you trying to establish that as a fact in this dire situation? Erika is really unwavering…”

“Of course, I think that unwavering is one of my strengths. My love for Tooru is unwavering too, you know ♪ I think an all-star should win with a straight ball!”

“Even in a crisis of the world’s destruction, Erika is so proactive and always looking for an opportunity to establish a fact…”

“For now, let’s leave aside my proactive nature, which is one of my strengths. So, what’s the talk about?”

“It’s about…”

Hinagiku-san was about to say something, but for some reason, she glanced at me with a sidelong glance.

“Umm, what?”

I felt a somewhat profound meaning in it.

“Tooru, I’m sorry, but could you step out for a moment?”

Then, in response to Hinagiku-san’s movement, Erika said something like that.

“Why? Don’t leave me out here alone, okay? Even though I’m a useless 30-something unemployed person, don’t treat me like that, or I’ll really cry! And, you know, this is actually my room…”

Even after hearing such a detailed story, it’s unlikely that they would do that, right?

“Tooru, we’re not leaving you out, okay?”

“You are… (sniffle)”

“I thought Tooru might find it troublesome because it seems like a difficult conversation.”

Erika gently wrapped her hands around my right hand and pressed it against her soft breasts.

Then, by tightening her armpits, she squeezed my hand between her soft breasts with a “gyumu”—!

My head, which was a virgin just a few days ago, was reminded of my sex with Erika, and I became a dazed and boneless mess.

“Umm, well, is it going to be a difficult conversation?”

“Yes… I mean, well…”

Hinagiku-san answered my question with an ambiguous tone.

“I see, but that’s right. NASA and the US military are at their wit’s end, so if it’s a strategy meeting to resolve such a difficult issue, it might be better if I’m not there, as I don’t know anything.”

I fully agreed with Erika’s opinion.

It also means that I correctly recognize my own incompetence.

I didn’t become a 30-something unemployed person for nothing.

“Then, I’ll go to the convenience store for a bit. I’ll be back in about 30 minutes.”

“Oh, Tooru. If you’re going to the convenience store, there’s a new parfait at Ropya.”

“Parfait?”

“It’s a matcha shiratama fruit parfait, and it looks really delicious in the net reviews, so if you see it, please get it for me.”

“Erika-san, who seems to be completely mastering the net just two days after knowing it, is really amazing… Okay, I’ll buy four of them for the four of us here.”

I changed into a T-shirt and jeans, put my wallet and smartphone in my pocket, and headed for the nearby convenience store.

Then, after wasting time at the convenience store, I bought four of the matcha shiratama fruit parfait from Ropya on my way back and returned to my apartment.

When I left, I said 30 minutes, but I took a little longer, about 45 minutes.

Since they said it would be a difficult conversation, it’s my own little thoughtful gesture.

(Since I’ll be left behind because I can’t keep up with the difficult conversation, I have to at least show some thoughtfulness.)

Tooru Yusa, the thoughtful man.
