Volume 4 - CH 42.1

This Is Going to be a Rough Night

In the middle of my conversation with Yuuki-san, the doorbell rang. While letting out a sigh, I headed for the door.

I’ve got my hands full with this rare guest, Yuuki-san, and I don’t want any more trouble.

“Yes, yes, who is it?”

When I opened the main door with a sigh of annoyance, Hishinuma-san was standing there with a troubled look on her face.

“Uh, um… good evening, junior-kun.”

“Hishinuma-san…?”

“…I’m really sorry for annoying you so late at night, okay? I know that you just got home from your …part-time job, so I brought you some leftover dinner. …Just as I thought, I’m annoying…”

As if she understood the hassle she had just caused me, Hishinuma-san said with a tearful look on her face.

This is very bad.

I’m very reluctant to make Hishinuma-san cry, as she has been a great help to me.

If I offended her, I wouldn’t be able to eat Hishinuma-san’s homemade food from now on.

I didn’t want it to happen.

“You’re not a nuisance! I really like Hishinuma-san’s cooking! I really want to eat it every day, yes!”

“Um, every day…? Um, that’s…”

In response to my hurriedly mended words, Hishinuma-san’s face somehow turned bright red and she began to squirm.

Huh? Did I say something strange?

“Um, then, you know, …I can make it for you every day…”

“Did someone come?”

“Whoa!”

Before Hishinuma-san could finish, Yuuki-san interrupted the conversation without hesitation, as if she was wondering who the visitor was.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s been a stun-in, but I’d like to see a little more courtesy.

“Hmm? Who is this girl?”

“This? Who’s this girl…, junior-kun?”

Yes, I have a feeling that this is going to be troublesome again.

They’ve never met before. So, it’s only natural to be curious when a bunch of strange women gathers in one man’s room.

However, I had nothing to feel guilty about, so I decided to just tell the truth.

“Well, this is Hishinuma Hanarei, my senior at my part-time job. Hishinuma-san, this is Ashizawa Yuuki. She’s a stut-in woman who ran away from home.”

“That’s too simple for an introduction!”

“Shoryu-kun, isn’t my introduction too weird?”

After getting some ‘good’ comments from both of them, I managed to get the situation under control.

“Um, actually, this person is Sarasa-san’s sister. It seems she ran away from home and came to me for help. It’s not like we’re lovers or anything, so please don’t worry.”

“Oh, I see… That’s good…”

After listening to my explanation, Hishinuma-san let out a sigh of relief.

…Hmm? What do you mean by “That’s good”…?

When I tried to ask her that, this time Yuuki-san opened her lips in a wince, looking like she was about to cry.

“Well, that’s not how you say it, right? You were sorry that I’m having such a hard time, so you said that you will let me stay in your room, right? Was that a lie!”

“It’s a 100% pure lie, right? I never said anything like that!”

I never said anything like that! Who is this personality…?

And what more she is sharp…?

“It’s terrible … before you had said such kind words to me…”

Huh? It’s not even funny anymore, when did I ever say anything kind to her?

Looking back at my own words, I don’t think I had ever said a word about that.

“I’m screwed. …I’ve been betrayed by Shoryu-kun. …I don’t care about my life, I’ll die…”

She is really a Mengele!
