Volume 1 - CH 34

“Co-, cool………”

“Yes, yes, I know, I know. Thank you”

“Ehー, isn’t your response a little too dim? You could have been more embarrassed you know……..”

“After all, I already know itー”

My face could be considered as a handsome one just barely but, the eyes are pretty important so depending on the hairstyle it can deviate quite a bit.

Although I don’t think she will react that way if she has gotten used to seeing Akira, I guess this is from the point of view of a lover.

“But, it’s really cool you know!”

“………Thank you”

“Un!”

“Ah, will you come today too? To my house.”

“If I could come then I would like to……….”

“You are free to do as you wish.”

“Yay!”

Koyomi’s parents don’t usually go home until late at night, so when we went on a date during a day off she would eat a meal in my house before going home.

We weren’t doing anything that would make us feel guilty so don’t worry.

“Fuu………it’s finally here……”

I was carrying the slightly heavy ingredients for dinner.

-Ka-cha

“Hmm? The door is unlocked……..why?”

“Did you forget to lock it?”

“That shouldn’t be possible…….Geh…..!”

I opened the door, and when I looked at the entrance, a pair of shoes that shouldn’t be there was there.

I have a bad feeling.

“Koyomi, I’m sorry……Go home for today.”

“Eh? Why?”

“Qui, quickly……Sorry, please go home.”

“Eh? Nn………….I got it……”

“I’m sorry……..”

Alright, with this………

The moment I was relieved.

“Ah! Kou-chan! So you have returned!”

“Kou-chan?”

When Koyomi heard that voice, she turned around and looked inside the house.

“Ara? Who is that girl Kou-chan?”

“Eh, Etto………”

“Nn?….Aah, did I surprise you? I’m Kouyou’s mother, Konoha Shimura. Nice to meet you. How about you? Could it be that you are his girlfriend~?”

Yes, this person is my mother.

My mother is young, or rather her face is. To be frank she is quite beautiful. A beauty that doesn’t lose to Koyomi’s

Then why am I not good-looking too?

That is simple. It’s because my father has a pretty average appearance. Perhaps around 49?

They are apparently childhood friends.

Anyways, my mom has that kind of atmosphere, Koyomi has also became quite nervous.

“Eh, Etto! I, I am….Kouyou-kun’s girlfriend, Tachibana Koyomi! It’s, it’s nice to meet you too!”

“Ara ara, you don’t have to be so formal. Heeー”

“What is it…….”

“She is cute right~, Kou-chan?”

“Yes yes. Rather than that, why are you here now…….isn’t it supposed to be tomorrow?”

“But if I come tomorrow, I might meet that person right?”

“Haah……….won’t you just make up already?”

“That is impossible. Rather than that, come on, why don’t you two come in?”

“Etto………., is it okay if I intrude?”

“It’s fine……………when I think about it again, it would be found out sooner or later anyway………”

“I, I see.”

After that, we sat in the living room while my mom talked endlessly about my past, with Koyomi listening to her with amusement, and we talked all about why Koyomi was here.

I’m starting to get hungry, so I stood up to start preparing the meal.

“Ah, wait! I’ll make it today.”

“Eh? It’s fine……”

“No, I’ll do it”

“But…….”

“I’ll make it! The food you make is similar to him after all.”

“Ahaha…………Suit yourself….”

And like that, she headed to the kitchen with a ruffled mood.

“What does she mean? When she said about your cooking being similar to that person?”

“I told you that they don’t get along right?”

“Un.”

“I, my father taught me how to cook, there’s also the fact that our taste buds are similar since he is my father………but I don’t think she want to eat it because they are on bad terms.”

“Eh………It’s that bad?”

“Yeah. But I think she has another reason too.”

“Another reason?”

“Maybe she will miss him after she ate it since they’ve known each other since childhood and has eaten together countless times…….Even if she lied to herself, her body is honest or something like that? Once she ate it, I don’t think she can bear the loneliness.”

“Hee………..it sounds kind of lovely.”

“It’s troublesome that they aren’t honest right?”

“Eh………Ahaha……..”

As one would expect, Koyomi showed a strained laugh, trying to not directly touch on the topic.

And after that,

“Alright, it’s doneー!”

“Th, thank you very much!”

“Thanks.”

Thus began the dinner party between me, Koyomi and my mother.
