Chapter 17 part 1: I got myself a new Girlfriend (Temporary)
"Now that I'm your girlfriend, what are you planning to do?"
"What do you mean 'What I am planning to do'?"
As I was naked, I hurriedly put on some clothes, and now we are sitting at the breakfast table together. Hishinuma-san then asked me with a serious look in her eyes.
By the way, Hishinuma-san herself made breakfast.
With the extra curry that she offered me once, I can say for sure Hishinuma-san is good at cooking. The miso soup that she made now is also delicious.
"It's about Ashizawa-san."
"Oh...that girl..."
I didn't know why, but she acts obsessed with me for some reason, isn't she?
She was cold to me for so long. I didn't know what was in her mind?
Well, I'm not interested to know it either. But, as Sarasa-san is acting so strangely lately, I can't introduce Hishinuma-san to her.
"Well, I guess I'll hold her off for now. But now that we've broken up, I'm going to pay a visit to her family and thank them for all the help they've provided me. Even though there's a lot going on lately, I am already indebted to them."
"I see... if I come with you, it may make things much more complicated."
"Yeah, I'm sorry but I'll have to go alone. Now that Sarasa-san knows where my room is, do you mind if I stay here for a while?"
"That's fine. We're temporary lovers, after all."
"Can you not keep saying 'temporary'? It pains me."
We let out a hearty laugh as we ate our breakfast.
I didn't know when was the last time I could eat along with someone with such a warm feeling.
When she (Sarasa-san) was there, I was forced to accept her proposal to take our individual meals and eat alone even when I was in my room.
Now that I think about it, I wanted to cry.
"I'm going to go say my greetings to her family after the class."
"All right. I'll wait for you at our place of work. Be careful on your way, okay?"
"For what?"
"I have a lot of things that I want to do with you!"
I certainly have to be careful.
From that uncanny look, there's no telling what Sarasa-san will do to me in the future.
I need to be careful.
"Hishinuma-san, be careful on your way too."
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
I'm confused when her index finger suddenly touches my lips.
Why did she ask me to wait?
As I was thinking to myself, Hishinuma-san blushed a little and muttered.
"Well… we're supposed to be lovers now, right? So why don't we call each other by… our first names?"
