Chapter 50
After school that day.
After finishing the remaining 10% of the work quickly, Ichika and I called out to the remaining students and headed out of the classroom to the shoe box.
With Ichika's help, I went down the stairs to my shoe box, where I found Toraya standing near the front door playing with his cell phone.
I had texted him before leaving the classroom, so I wondered if he was there. I had wondered if he was there, but I was glad he was. But I'm still not used to seeing Toramasa in school. I put on my shoes while suppressing my heart, which had been bothering me since I found Toramasa, and greeted Ichika, who said she was still waiting for Ichinose-kun at school, and walked out of the school with Toramasa.
I walk next to Toramasa, who matches my walking speed, and we walk together to the front of the station.
Walking outside the school in the light of day, both of us wearing our school uniforms, is a situation that I longed for in my student romance, and my tension is at its highest.
You look pretty happy, don't you?
Yes! I am very happy!
I replied cheerfully, and Toraga laughed and patted my head. The best combination of seeing Toraga's smile and having him pat me on the head made me even happier.
Then, “Are you sure you want to wear clothes?” I looked at Toraya's hand and his face alternately, then said, “I like your hand,” and laid my own hand on Toraya's hand.
I was so happy to see him, and I was so happy to see him, too.
My heart was pounding out of my mouth and I was struggling to control the sweat from my hands, so we had a few conversations but I couldn't remember most of them. I thought that I had moved instantly.
I wondered if Toramasa and I would look like lovers to other people when I saw a man and a woman in school uniform in front of the station.
Toramasa said, “Toramasa eats a lot, so the bigger the better. …… How about this lunch box?
“That's not a lunch box, it's more like a stacked box, isn't it?”
Then how about this bento box?
“How did you find such a big lunch box, ……? I'm fine with a regular one.
I asked him about it as I showed him my lunch box, which was twice as big as the one I use.
Toramasa looked at the bento box he was pointing at and picked up a bento box that looked similar to the one his father uses and said, “That's fine, isn't it? So we decided to use the black color of that lunch box.
I then selected chopsticks and a lunch box wrapper, and picked up a nearby book titled “100 Side Dishes for Bento,” which I took with me to the checkout counter.
There was a brief dispute over whether I or Toramasa should pay the bill, but other than that, everything went without a hitch.
The next question was, “Is there anywhere else we can stop?
“Well, I don't have anything special to do. …… Oh, I want to drink tapioca!
I want a tapioca drink!
We stood in line at a nearby tapioca specialty store and I got a milk tea and Tiger Masashi got a cocoa tapioca, and we headed home with them in our hands.
The time we spent having fun was so fleeting that I didn't even notice the pain in my feet. It always feels longer in class, but when I'm with Toraga, it always feels shorter. I always wish it were the other way around, but that's impossible.
I lie down with Toraya while drinking a cup of milk tea and walk down the darkened street. As we walked through the quiet residential area, looking at the street where the streetlights were beginning to come on, Toraya, who was walking next to me, suddenly opened his mouth.
You don't have to force yourself to make lunch.
I'm not forcing myself, it's more of a reward. I'm happy to have Toramasa-san eat the meal I made for him.
I wish that were the case. ……
I've been making lunches for myself as well, so I'm totally fine with having one more bento!
I smiled and gave him a thumbs up and Toraga said, “You're awesome,” and shook my hand.
As I glanced at Toramasa who was looking at me, I said, “It's not awesome. ……” to hide my embarrassment at being praised, and removed my gaze from Toramasa, and his walking became progressively slower, and my legs slowed down accordingly. Then naturally I stopped and stared at Toraya in front of me, unable to speak with Toraya holding my hand by the telephone pole.
The night breeze caressed my cheeks. Even the cold wind, which has changed from summer wind to autumn wind, cannot take away the heat from my cheeks, and Toraya's hand touches my red cheeks, which have turned bright red without looking in the mirror.
You've always been a great help to me,…….
“…… is also a waste of time, your words …….”
Oh, he's going to kiss me. ……
I was so excited that I had to leave Toraya in a hurry, and I pulled over to the side of the road with Toraya.
It's a pity, because I was so close to kissing him. I waited for the car to pass by, feeling a sense of shame that someone driving by might see us, but it slowly pulled up in front of us.
I don't know anyone who drives a black foreign car, so either I know Toramasa …… or he is a weirdo. The car is a black foreign car, and I don't know anyone who drives a black foreign car.
I looked in Toraya's direction at the sound of that tongue lashing and saw that Toraya was clearly unhappy. With the same expression on his face, he took my hand and said, “Let's go,” and started to walk away from the car.
What, Toraga?
I tried to call out Toramasa's name and ask for an explanation, wondering what had happened. That's when I heard a voice saying, “Toramasa!
Toraga!
I heard a man's voice from behind me.
Toramasa was walking quickly when footsteps came rushing up behind him.
A hand was placed on Toramasa's shoulder, and when Toramasa stopped moving, I, who was being pulled along by Toramasa, naturally stopped. At the same time, I looked back and saw a man in a suit standing there.
He was shorter than Toramasa, with slightly long, quirky black hair tied into a single knot and slanted eyes.
He was short and shorter than Toramasa, with slightly long, quirky black hair tied back in a single bun. I was just on my way to Toramasa's house.
I won't let you in my room even if you come to my house.
Again, such a cold thing to say.
The actual “I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
I tried to be in the air so as not to disturb them.
I was trying to be in the air, but just as I was about to be in the air, he started talking about me, so I couldn't be in the air. I hesitated to talk to him because of the way he was looking at me, so I looked at him from underneath his face and he replied, “…… that's right.
He was surprised to hear that Toramasa was interested in this kind of girl. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you're doing and how to do it.
Oh, wait. I know what this person was about to say, so my glass heart shattered.
I know! I know I'm not pretty and I know I'm not cute! What's with this guy, he just shows up out of nowhere and ……! And I have good taste, Toramasa! Except for me!
I was a little miffed and stared at the man as I sipped my milk tea, but he smiled at me and waved a small hand.
He smiled at me and waved a small hand.
I don't have to tell you.
I'm going to cry if you're too cold, okay? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to tell me your name or not. The name is Kurogane Ryuga. I'm Ryuga, Toraga's older brother. I don't mean to be nice to you, but I'm nice to you.
I almost spewed out the milk tea I had been drinking when the man held out his hand to me saying that.
I'm curious about the words “I don't intend to say hello,” but wait, what did this guy just say? Black Iron…… Black Iron! Kurotetsu Ryuga! Toraga's brother! No way!
In the game, the existence of an older brother is confirmed in Toraga's past, but Toraga's older brother whose name wasn't even mentioned, nor was there any official setting or anything! What, really!
Unintentionally, I look seriously at the man in front of me.
A thin body and an untrustworthy, stuck-up smile. His hair is a bit curly. A slightly high-pitched voice. Thin fingers. Skin that is pale beyond white.
…… doesn't look like her at all.”
The words came out unintentionally. The words reached their ears.
The words reached their ears. I'm not similar to you. We don't look alike at all.
“……”
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, it's okay. I like honest girls. I like you a little bit. I look like my mother and Toraga looks like his father.
I didn't realize that.
…… Well, yes.”
Toraga brushed his bangs and let out one sigh, then looked at his brother with a glare and said in a low voice, “Go home.
It is rare for Toraga to be this angry ……. Certainly, considering Toraga's past, his attitude towards his brother is not wrong. That is why I cannot blame Toraya for his attitude.
I'm not sure if I'd like to go back home. I've had a good harvest.
If you do anything to him, you'll get away with it.
I'm so scared of him, I'm going to cry. Look, I'm crying.
I don't care.
I'm really going to cry. I don't feel like working tomorrow because my beloved brother is acting like that.
Don't talk nonsense to me.
I'm taking you home, okay?”
Who wants a ride?
'Too bad. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a gift for you, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a gift for me. Did you get my gift properly?”
Toraga's feet stop at those words of his brother.
Then, with a somewhat pained look on his face, he replied shortly, “It arrived.” The older brother said, “I'll call you later about that,” got into his car, and drove off somewhere past us.
We walked in earnest, surrounded by silence as if a typhoon had just passed. I arrived at my house without being able to talk to Toraga, who was walking in silence, and faced him somewhat awkwardly, looking for words to say goodbye.
I was looking for the right words to say goodbye.
I put the things in my hands down on the ground and hugged Toraya with my arms outstretched.
Then, slowly, Toraya's free hand reached around my waist and gently hugged me, calling my name, “Mariko.
When he called my name, I looked up and saw Toraya's face close to mine. I closed my eyelids in response, and our lips met as if to continue what we had not been able to do earlier.
Our lips, which had only been touching, gradually became deeper and deeper. Toraga's tongue moves inside my mouth and entwines with mine. The sweet stimulation made me squeal involuntarily, but I did not feel embarrassed.
The deep kisses took a long time and became deeper and deeper. Our lips parted again and again, and the saliva mixed with each other's. Heat welled up from deep inside my body.
Toraga's waist is hot to the touch. The slightest movement of his fingers, the slightest increase in force, is all it takes for my body to react.
When our lips finally parted, I was barely able to stand, supported by Toraya's arms, as my legs were no longer strong enough to support me.
I looked at Toraya with tear-stained eyes, and he was staring at me with a serious expression on his face.
Toraya's wet lips, his eyes staring at me, and his hot body made my body tremble with excitement.
I don't know what to do, I don't want to leave Toraya. I want to be held by Toraya like this. ……
It was when I thought so.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.
Please don't …… apologize.”
I was so sorry,” he said.
He looked at me with that pained look on his face again and then softly spoke up, “…… I'll talk to you. I just need some time.”
I think those words were referring to the conversation I just had with my brother.
I shook my head and put my arm around Toraga's waist.
I'll leave it to you, Toraga.”
…… my bad.”
The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.
I'll see you tomorrow at …….”
Yes, see you tomorrow.”
The first time I saw him, I was surprised at the suddenness of it.
When I was surprised by the suddenness of the kiss, he whispered in my ear, “Let's continue on our day off,” and when our bodies separated, I saw Toramasa with a nasty smile on his face.
I was glad to see him back to his usual Toraya self. After that relief, Toraya's words reached my brain a little later, and my face gradually turned red.
I had wanted to be held by him earlier as we kissed, but I was embarrassed when he said it out loud, and I was shaking my head like a broken doll.
After that, I left Toraga and went back to my room. I looked at the magazine I had bought for my lunch today, vaguely remembering the conversation between Toraga and his brother.
I didn't really understand the conversation between him and Toramasa, but Toramasa said he would tell me, so I should be able to figure it out in time. ……
I'm sure I'll also understand the meaning of that expression on Toraga's face: …….
The night went by with a somewhat hazy feeling in my heart.
