Chapter 554 – Side Story IF. Lucky Skebbe #2
Jinglang-!
As I entered the bookstore, the sound of an old bell tickled my ears.
Now that I think about it, I don’t usually visit places like bookstores.
I have to come here often from now on.
“Is it like a used bookstore?”
Matsuda asks a similar question as before.
Miyuki, who politely greeted the grayish-looking owner, answered quietly.
“There are a lot of used ones.”
Now Matsuda will be asking about the comics section.
“Are there any comic books?”
I thought so too.
I’m happy that things seem to be going the same way as before, but I’m also a little disappointed.
It would have been more interesting if we had told a different story.
“There is. It’s over there. But Matsuda-kun, I came here to buy a book to study, but why are you interested in comics?”
“It would be nice to buy comics while living.”
“Then, I’ll buy the workbook, and Matsuda-kun, pick out the manga for me to read.”
“What are you going to see?”
“Romance. Something that looks fun.”
“Okay.”
Mmmm. It was natural.
If you do this, you can secretly lie down on the mattress while watching cartoons together during break time.
Miyuki, who had been daydreaming about the future, pretended to choose a workbook while not being too far away from Matsuda, and her eyes lit up.
‘It was definitely like this…’
You can see books piled haphazardly on the top of the bookshelf.
I remember hearing tiptoe around here.
Is it here? Or one space next to it?
I was so careless at the time that my memories are vague.
Still, it felt right, so Miyuki lifted her tiptoes to take out the math workbook located in the middle of the stack of books.
The moment her delicate hand touched the corner of the book,
Tuk.
“Huh…?”
The books that were neatly piled up shook.
This is it. It was definitely like this back then.
But was it too bold? It would be very painful if the book fell like this.
When Miyuki was thinking about such things and trying to prepare her mind,
Tub-!
Matsuda’s thick, long arm stretched out over Miyuki’s shoulder and stopped her from falling.
“You have to be careful.”
He puts the book down as if nothing had happened and opens her hand.
Miyuki couldn’t help but open her mouth in embarrassment at the situation that had turned out differently again.
“Hey.”
When Matsuda waved her hand in front of Miyuki’s face, she suddenly came to her senses and forced a smile.
“Ah, thank you…”
Why on earth is Matsuda here?
Obviously, you have to run from far away… It’s mind-blowing.
“What were you trying to bring up? “This?”
“No… Under that… Math workbook…”
“This?”
“That’s right…”
“Now.”
Matsuda held several comic books in his other hand.
Looking at the title, it is a romance genre.
After she picked the comic quickly, she came over to ask me how I liked it, and she seemed to accidentally help me.
“Thank you.”
Miyuki expressed her gratitude and began to grumble inwardly.
The target was not Matsuda, but someone who sent her to the past.
‘What is this…!’
If this happens, will the event proceed properly? Even if you don’t know anything, it’s a person who doesn’t know much… No, it’s a person.
No. There is a flow in everything.
Because she was aesthetic, Matsuda was closer than before, which broke the flow and caused the events to flow in a different direction.
So, I shouldn’t be quick to criticize.
Should I try staggering around another corner? If that happens, won’t Matsuda catch it?
At the same time, the picture of him touching her waist doesn’t seem bad…
‘Why do I keep having strange thoughts…?’
It seems like she only cares about the ‘touching the body’ part, so she feels like she’s very pervert.
Let’s not do this. It doesn’t matter if it’s something trivial or grand, all you need is an exchange that touches each other’s emotions.
“Why are you walking like that?”
While I was imagining this and that, Matsuda’s loud voice came from behind.
Miyuki, who checked the tip of her toe she was still holding, cleared her throat and let go of her expression.
“Huh…? “What?”
“Why are you creaking? As if there was a puddle of water below.”
“My, when did I do that…?”
“Just now.”
“It’s not…? “Aren’t you looking at the world too negatively?”
“I just asked why my gait was like that, but is this something that will be brought to light by the world?”
“It’s my heart.”
“Being forceful.”
Seeing Matsuda’s snorting expression, Miyuki was so upset that she pouted her lips.
At that time, I saw something dark moving vaguely beneath her eyes.
Miyuki looked underneath her to see something, and saw a large, long centipede the size of a middle finger skimming over the nose of her shoe.
A black body with a lot of legs and an incredibly flexible movement.
A loud scream came out from Miyuki’s mouth as she clearly recognized it.
“Huhhh!!!”
“W-what…? Heh…!”
Miyuki, who had goosebumps all over her body, jumped onto the startled Matsuda’s shoulder and hugged him.
Although it was unintentional, it was quite intense skinship, but Miyuki was so scared that she didn’t notice it at all and clung to Matsuda, who unknowingly supported her buttocks with his arms.
“Centipede…! There’s a centipede…!!”
Miyuki moves her whole body wildly, even with tears in her eyes.
Matsuda, who was tired of her struggles, spoke in a steady voice.
“It has passed.”
Miyuki, who heard Matsuda’s calm voice, looked underneath her while still being hugged by him.
“Really…?”
“Uh. It’s not there anymore.”
I live in a single-family home and have a yard, so bugs come out.
However, they are regularly managed by a company, and even if bugs appear, they would have pulled out a bunch of toilet paper or caught them with an unnecessary book…
I was so surprised because it was my first time seeing such a large, long and fat centipede that I wondered if it would show up at my grandmother’s house.
“Haa…”
Miyuki let out a calming sigh and realized that Matsuda’s gaze, which she usually had to look up at, was parallel to hers.
Furthermore, the heavy feeling beneath her hips was Matsuda’s arm, and her own hand was squeezing his shoulder tightly.
“Oh…”
After realizing what he had done, Miyuki wondered if he should just stay like this, but soon came to his senses and got down from Matsuda.
“I’m sorry… I’m surprised…”
“It seemed so.”
“Is your arm okay…?”
“What’s wrong with my arm? “Are you afraid it might be crushed by your weight?”
“No…! Instead, if I did it with one arm…”
“It’s a joke. It’s okay.”
Even though it’s unconscious, I feel like I’m going to buy it because I’m being held.
A few days worth of energy recharge has been completed.
It’s a little disappointing, though.
Anyway, I didn’t expect a centipede to suddenly appear.
It would have been nice if a cute bug had appeared, but it’s ridiculous.
Of course, where else can there be a cute bug, but it looks like he was punished for complaining to the entity that sent him.
As Miyuki purred her lips, brushing her chest, Matsuda giggled and teased her.
“Look at the mouth flaps fluttering. It’s bloody, it’s bloody.”
“Hey, the mouth cap… What is that?”
“Why… A dog has a mouth. Something that sticks out. What do you call this? “Snout?”
“Snout, snout… Am I a dog?”
“It looks similar to a Welsh corgi.”
“Welsh corgis have short legs…! “Do I have short legs?”
“The appearance.”
It feels like I’m complimenting something cute, but it also feels like an insult…
I don’t know whether I should like it or not.
“There are more workbooks to choose from, right?”
“… There is.”
“Then take your pick. “I’ll take it out.”
‘Mr. Lee…’
Miyuki sighed inwardly, suppressing the urge to just go over there and pick up some more comics.
Things turned out differently this time too.
Still, I’m glad that it doesn’t seem to have failed like last time.
When I thought about it, Matsuda seemed a little embarrassed when he was being held…
Considering that, I think it can be said that there is some income.
What did they call this in technical terms… I was lucky or something, but I wasn’t sure.
**
“I’ll take this home.”
Miyuki shook her head at Matsuda’s words as he roughly stuffed the workbook and comic book into the shopping bag.
“Just give it to me. Just put it in your bag and go.”
“You’re already so skinny that if you carry something heavy on your shoulder, you won’t grow taller.”
“I’m not small…! Average height…!”
“Seeing how angry you are, I think you’re smaller than average.”
“It’s actually a little bigger than average, isn’t it?”
“Then you’re not of average height?”
“It’s an approximation to the average, so you can say that…!”
“I get it. But why do you seem angry?”
“It’s not? “Is it an illusion?”
“No.”
I feel like I’m getting caught up again.
Would he be able to show that kind of attitude even if he were attacked right now?
I want to try an experiment.
“Haa… Let’s go to academy now?”
“I have to go. “Time is up.”
“Can I go take a look?”
“Want to see the academy?”
“Huh. I told you earlier. I want to learn piano. When Matsuda told me that it was an academy that handles band instruments in general, I became interested and wanted to see what the environment was like.”
I made a mistake.
Instead of mentioning the piano, I should have just talked about the environment…
In this case, it seems like he is making an excuse because he wants to learn something like Matsuda.
“Well… Something like that. Take a look and take care of it.”
“Are you going alone? “Can’t we have dinner together…?”
“Are you going to wait until I finish class?”
“I think it would be a good time to consult with the director there… And take a test if possible… And watch other people take classes…”
“Not bad.”
I thought she would answer as if it were insignificant, like ‘So,’ or ‘Okay, then,’ but I’m glad to hear that she’s not that bad.
Should I say that I thoughtlessly rummaged through my pockets and a 10,000 yen bill popped out?
I think I gained a lot of income today, not just my own income.
If you’ve gone through a hard time for a few days, it’s only right that you get something in return.
Miyuki resisted the urge to applaud and headed to the downtown area with Matsuda.
