Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Hello, Tatsuya

Entering the house.

A little child greeted me in front of the door, happily looking up with a thousand-watt smile and glistening eyes, as she stands there with her lovely panda stuffed toy in her embrace while wearing a hamster pajama. Upon seeing me, she exclaimed cutely.

“Nii-chan!”

With her one arm extending to me, I know what she wants, which is to carry her in my arm. I complied and picked her up. Amidst that, I didn’t let go of Naoki’s hand. At that moment, Asuka, who’s on my arm and the other is intertwined with Naoki, both are occupying my hands.

“Nii! Let’s go play!”

“Oh, sorry, Asuka. Nii needs to do something first, we’ll play later, okay?” I smiled.

“Ehhh~? Why? I bought Bear-san with me, and wants to play with us too!”

“Sorry, Asuka and Bear-san. But, Nii really needs to something. How about this, we’ll eat tomorrow some ice cream at the shopping center?”

“Hm...” Asuka contemplated cutely, as she holds her chin.

Looking at her, I can’t help myself but adore this little one. She looks like she’s about to give me an answer that would solve the world’s hunger.

“Okay!”

“Aww, what a good girl.”

“Hehehe.”

We went to the living room, but the sight of Aunt Ayaka was nowhere to be seen. So I asked Asuka, “Where’s Mama?”

“Mama? I don’t know.”

Then after Asuka said that, a woman who looks like in her mid-20s that had an uncanny resemblance to Asuka with sweats all over her body emerged from the kitchen door while carrying some gardening tools.

“Auntie.”

“Aunt Ayaka.”

“Oh! Nao-chan and Tatsuya. You two are here, so how’s school?”

“It’s alright. We went to the cafe with the others.”

“Yes, and had fun going around.”

“Good. You two are now able to enjoy the youth—...” Then Aunt Ayaka noticed something in between Naoki and me. She narrowed her eyes then grinned stupidly, “... Ara, ara~ ♥ What is this? Am I seeing some explicit hand-holding in front of my eyes~?”

Naoki’s face flushed.

Then I retorted, “It’s only hand-holding. We’re not kids who’ll be ashamed of that, Auntie...”

“Oho~ My Tatsuya is getting matured.”

“What...?” I said in a stupefied tone. “Um, we’ll go ahead first.”

As I was about to turn around, Aunt Ayaka spoke in a stern voice. “Tatsuya.”

I flinched and turned my head back around, “Y-Yes...?”

After her playful teasing, her voice turned serious once I turned my head away. Because of that, I got some goosebumps upon hearing that. This voice... I clearly remember that voice of her, it's from the time when I did a stupid thing last week where I went and experimented on my condition on the playground while taking care of Asuka.

Once my gaze met Aunt’s eyes, I felt a cold wind slithering through my spine. Even though Aunt Ayaka had this smile on her, but her eyes are telling a different story. Naoki is in the same state as I am, we’re feeling a storm is coming in our way.

“Where’s your uniform and why is your hair like that? Please, don’t tell me you went home with a getup like that.”

“Uh... Um... Ah... Aaaa...” my mouth started babbling some random gibberish sounds, as my brain can’t keep up and is on the verge of breaking down. Naoki, instead of replying she averted her eyes and turned her head the other way, trying to avoid it. For Asuka, she’s just there looking at her Mama and us back and forth, wondering what’s going on while showing her innocent expression.

I got my stuff together, deeply inhaling, and said. “T-The restaurant’s tap got broken, so... The water sprayed on my face. Consequently, my uniform and hoody got drenched. And, my hair...”

“Oh, okay. What about the hair? Because I remember something about your carelessness.” narrowing her eyes to me.

I gulped, and I could feel the cold sweats are forming on my forehead and on my back. Now, choose: Tell the truth or lie. First, if I said the truth, the outcome will be tragic for me and Naoki. Second, if I lied to Auntie, I don’t have any concrete explanation to back it up, nor I have an explanation for her. So I obviously picked the latter by dodging the question.

“Uh... It got wet. I’ll go ahead and wash it again. See you later Auntie.” I smiled, but the corners of my mouth are twitching.

“Hold on, young man. I didn’t ask what happened to your hair, but why is it like that. Care to tell?”

“Uhm...”

Now, it’s left to my third option. “Run to my room Naoki!” releasing our hands. I dashed towards the staircase and ascend to the 2nd floor. Naoki followed me, who became confused and only copied what I did. After Naoki and I got into my room and locked it, I could hear Aunt Ayaka screaming from downstairs, yelling my name. I know what I did will worsen my situation, but I don’t have the heart to accept the tragic fate that awaits me.

“Thank god, I don’t know what to say to Aunt.” I let out a huge relief.

“A-Are you sure, about that? You’re digging yourself deeper, Tatsu.”

I flinched. “I-... You’re right. But, there’s nothing I can do. Oh yeah, I need to tell you about something.”

“But, before that. Tatsu, look who’s at your arm.”

Then I heard a cute giggle in my left ear. “Hehehehe, that’s so fun! Nii is so fast! More! More!”

I saw a joyful Asuka fluttering in my arms. When I saw her, I'm dumbfounded. I forgot I was carrying Asuka! The plan of having a truthful conversation with Naoki was postponed because of this little one in my arm, who was happily excited as she looks at me.

Sitting on my bed, I put Asuka beside me while hugging her panda tightly. Naoki followed and sat beside me.

“Haa... Um... Asuka... I have something to tell very important to Nao-nee. Can you go to Mama, first?”

“Nii doesn’t want Asuka...?” Asuka looked at me with teary eyes.

UGH! NOT THIS AGAIN!

“Tatsu, it’s okay. It’s not like Asuka knew what we’re talking about.”

“Oh, okay. Then Asuka can stay with Nii.” I said with a smile.

“Yey!” Asuka then sat on my lap, as she rubs her head on Bear-san.

After a while, we became silent so Naoki broke it and asked. “So, tell me what’s really going on, Tatsuya.”

“I remembered Sayuri-nee.”

The look on Naoki’s face once I mentioned the name Sayuri, was filled with bewilderment and anxiousness. When I saw that face, I could hear my heartbeat pounding, but at the same time, I felt an excruciating pain inside my chest. Something inside me wants to deny the look that Naoki is giving me now—A false hope.

“S-Since... When...?” Naoki said in a shaking voice.

“Yesterday, when we’re sleeping together.”

“How about me and Yuki?”

“I-I’m sorry...”

“I see...” Naoki’s eyes cast down, “... To what degree, do you remember about her?”

“Everything is blurry, but I only remember her face, body, voice, and that caring personality of hers... Other than that, there’s nothing. I don’t remember anything.”

Sayuri-nee’s beautiful face is still clear in my mind, plus her soothing, melodic voice that calms my ear. I can’t forget them, nor will I ever forget them. I want to carve it in my head. As for the reason I’m obsessed with her, got something to do with the guilt feeling that I’m having, plus the repayment of something that I don’t remember. I want to bash my head on a wall so that I can remember everything, but the chances of that working are low.

“T-Then... That’s the cause why you are cured?”

“Who said that I’m cured?”

“You’re not? I mean, you’re clearly okay with other people now...”

“No, I’m not. Remember the time you guys left me in the changing room?”

“Yeah.”

“Suddenly, I got a painful headache and tiredness while waiting for you, but it all vanished when I heard your voice...”

“Uh-huh?”

I smiled wryly. I’m covering Asuka’s ears as I was talking with Naoki because I don’t want Asuka to hear our conversation even though she doesn’t know what we’re talking about. Well, while covering her ears, Asuka treated as nothing and only cuddled her panda stuffed toy.

“I don’t know, it all happened in a short time that I didn’t even have the time to figure out what happened to me, Naoki.”

“Is that why you don’t want to part ways from me?”

“Exactly, I’ve got a feeling that once you left me, there’s something bad will happen to me. I only followed what my guts and instincts told me to do... Sorry.”

Naoki’s eyes were teary as she looks at me with worry. Then she said, “I’ll call Izumi-sensei now.”

“Yeah, that’s probably the right thing to do.”

“Why didn’t you told that to me earlier?”

“Sorry...”

“Goodness... I’ve been worried all this time, and you just told me now. We could’ve just went to Izumi-sensei’s office while Yuki is still with us earlier.”

In truth, I’m scared of what Izumi-sensei will say to me. There’s a chance that she will forbid me from attending the school because of the unknown stuff that is happening to me. The likelihood chance of Izumi-sensei forbidding me is high. Because of that thought, I kept lying to Naoki and Yuki, even though something is happening to me now.

However, the thing that happened to me now is indisputable, there’s nothing I can do than consult it with Izumi-sensei. Otherwise, it can lead to something more troublesome

As Naoki was calling Izumi-sensei, I pinched Asuka’s squishy cheeks gently. She seemed very fond of everything I do. Perhaps because Asuka is very fond of her father, then after she saw a male figure who will be living with them. I became the replacement for her father, which I don’t care about since it can at least alleviate some loneliness that Asuka is having for not having a father on her side.

When did Aunt Ayaka divorce her ex-husband? I haven’t even met his ex-husband since the last time I saw Aunt Ayaka was a long time ago. I only knew that her husband cheated on her, but I feel there's more to it...

Izumi-sensei picked up Naoki’s call and currently conversing with her. And I’m sitting there with Asuka, watching Naoki nodding as she responds to Izumi-sensei on the call.

“Good afternoon, Izumi-sensei.”

“Eh? Y-Yes... It’s about Tatsu. How did you know?”

“What? Don’t worry about the small details, huh?”

“Wha... Yes... Yes... That’s correct... That happened... Right...”

“Okay... I’ll put it on speaker mode.”

Naoki put the phone on the bed.

[Hello, Tatsuya.]

From the phone, I could hear the familiar cold tone of Izumi-sensei whenever she talks to anyone.
