Chapter 8: 7

"Tsubakiya-san, is she dating someone?"

Fujimoto Asuka asked while putting the premium beef back on the grill.

Short hair in a women's suit. Very refreshing and feminine style.

In fact, she was quite capable. When I was in college, my grades were very good, and I was immediately appointed an English teacher, clean, tidy, and refreshing. She was the type of person who was too capable but made it a little difficult for men to approach. Has been appointed as a student mentor at a young age.

"No. She probably isn't dating anyone."

said Onodera Tatsuya in denial while moving the roast beef liver onto his plate.

After work, at the barbecue shop down the street about two stops from school.

Tatsuya and Asuka were chatting happily over the charcoal fire oven.

“At least I haven't heard of who Tsubaki-san is dating. I don't think I have that feeling either."

Since it was a sensitive topic about students, it had to be kept secret.

After that warning, Asuka said in a low voice.

"Sometimes I hear strange rumors about Takayama-san in third grade."

"Takayama - Takayama Kaito. Student from the athletic club."

"She confessed to Tsubakiya-san"

"Eh—!"

Tatsuya was completely taken aback.

No kidding, this is a real feat. Tatsuya couldn't do a special attack like that. It's impossible to do that now as an adult, much less in high school.

"It's really like him, Takayama-san."

"Right—that's pretty bold."

“This is the first person to confess to Tsubakiya-san.”

"How many. I don't know the situation of all the students. There might be more."

"But they gave up on confessing, there might be such a person."

“They deliberately approached but did not dare to confess. Maybe there are more people like that.”

“There are more boys who come here as a side dish. Ahaha!”

Asuka said casually while drinking Beer.

Asuka, who was too capable and rejected by people thousands of miles away, was difficult for men to approach, perhaps for this reason. In schools and workplaces that often turn into a male society, if you are not careful to a certain extent, you may not be able to do so.

"So, Onodera-kun, you—"

Asuka looked at Tatsuya disdainfully,

"I feel like you're exaggerating?"

"What?"

"Etto—"

Asuka was holding a beer cup,

“For example, If it's from a safe area? Holding a red wine glass in one hand, seeing the plight of the people below? I don't know why I can feel it from Onodera-kun, your condescending gaze.”

"Is it about Hinata?"

"I'm talking about Tsubakiya-san."

Tatsuya placed the beef liver on the grill.

The temperature of the roast beef liver is very important, if it is overcooked, it will not taste good.

"Fujimoto-senpai"

"What is it?"

"Are you stupid?"

"What did you say-!?"

Asuka raised her eyebrows.

Tatsuya did not back down.

"Hinata is like my little sister. It's just like my family. I've never treated her as a woman. The condescending gaze is really cute. Better to say what kind of gaze you used to look at me, senpai?"

“I saw it with the eyes of my comrades! And then there are my ex-boyfriend's eyes!”

Asuka Fujimoto, 26 years old.

An English teacher who works at the junior high school at the private Mominoki Academy.

To Tatsuya, she was two years older than him in college, a senior at the club he joined, and now a senior at work. The two of them were not in a relationship between senior and junior, they only had a brief courtship period as a couple.

"By the way, even though she's your little sister, she's the one living with you, right?"

"No. She's the next door neighbor's kid."

“But she comes to your house every day, right? you guys eat together, right? And at school. You're still her homeroom teacher, so you'll definitely meet her. If that's the case, won't you surpass the family? This is the era when there are many people who don't meet even if they are family?”

As Asuka spoke, she transferred the beef liver to her plate.

“This is the meat I roasted.”

Tatsuya didn't say that.

Discreetly put a piece of beef liver on the grill.

Asuka was still unsettled.

"In other words, a condescending gaze speaks of this kind of place. You and Tsubakiya-san spend more time together than any other family member, and you know her better than anyone else. This kind of serenity is slowly starting from Onodera-kun. It radiates outward. The same goes for speech, one might even say that it radiates from the whole body."

"Even if I don't understand that person at all,"

Tatsuya wanted to say that, but he gave up. He wasn't very young, and he was much more mature than before.

“As far as I know, the time with her after she grew up was very short.”

"How do you say it?"

"Is that so? You've known her since Tsubakiya-san was born."

"Indeed, maybe I'm the one who knows her the most so far. Because I took care of her."

"Hmm."

"But ever since I came back from four years of college alone, that girl has thrived. Like a foreigner. I feel like Urashima Taro. So where did she come from? In other words, it's like starting over with a complete stranger."

"I see, this seems to be the case"

"Can you take it?"

"Half and half. Gave you a piece of meat. Let's eat."

"Thank You"

Tatsuya accepted the beef liver that Asuka had given him.

“This is the meat I put on the grill.”

Tatsuya didn't say anything.

Half-cooked beef liver is served with beer, and its sweet taste will satisfy your taste buds.

“But it's actually really hard—”

"What?"

“Tsubakiya-san too, and you, Onodera-kun too.”

Asuka rubbed the rim of the beer cup.

“Even though I know Onodera-kun, you don't want to be Tsubakiya-san's homeroom teacher, but no one else can. But maybe whoever was the homeroom teacher wouldn't have anything to do with the kid. Even if it's bad manners. etc. Not at all, but I always felt that child was different. Even if it was an adult, she would be wary. I might not be able to educate her casually.”

Tatsuya felt the same way.

As for why, even Tatsuya himself felt the same way.

In an unintentional moment, Hinata's behavior and expression seemed to have turned into a kind of unreachable existence, and Tatsuya had such a hunch. This cannot be stopped by anyone, and must not be stopped by anyone. Tatsuya's intuition told him that this was a very natural development trend.

One day she will fly high. Like breaking a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Watching this moment, Tatsuya would be happy to help her as long as he could be her support. It would be wrong to say that there wouldn't be any complicated feelings, but after all, he had watched Tsubakiya Hinata grow since birth. Tatsuya did not wish to entrust this responsibility to anyone other than himself.

"Well, anytime you want to discuss it with me, I'd be happy to help you."

Asuka said while stirring the meat.

“Although my experience isn't very rich, it's still longer than your time as a teacher, Onodera-kun. If you are a girl, there will be more things you can empathize with.”

“Are you planning to blackmail this junior of yours?”

"Can't you?"

"Come on, it will be better."

Asuka smiled cutely and said to the attendant,

"One more beer!"

A senior two years older than the college.

Participate in the same society.

Then she was Tatsuya's ex-girlfriend.

After all this, it would be a lie to say that there would be no emotion, but Fujimoto Asuka still had the advantage of being "clean, tidy, and fresh". Tatsuya shouldn't be led by the nose with his past sentimentality.

Drizzle beef liver with plenty of sauce and eat it with white rice.

"Sorry! I want another drink!”

I will rest tomorrow. A little pleasure will not be punished.

“Do you remember Kudo-senpai?”

If you indulge yourself, there will be a second encounter.

Asuka opened a can of sake and brought up a new topic.

“Kudou-senpai is a person who is three years older than me?”

“Yes, the person who became the beautiful club president.”

Of course Tatsuya remembered.

When Tatsuya went to college and joined the Western Music Research Association, Kudo Yoko-senpai had just become the chairman, and she held the club introduction meeting as if she wasn't too used to it. She put aside her premiere activities, went to about a hundred live shows a year, and studied for a doctorate in English literature.

"Kudo-san, what's wrong with her?"

“Yes, it's Yoko-san. It looks like she will be getting married this year.”

"Hah!"

Tatsuya was completely taken aback.

He asked as he lifted the bottle to brew sake.

"Who is she married to? As far as I know, the person Yoko-san is related to... Is that Tashiro-senpai? The one from the rugby club."

"That's Yoshimoto-san? The one who works as a teaching assistant in Murayama's laboratory"

"Pfft—it's not—yes."

"Male relationship."

"Narahashi-kun. The person who is at the same time as me"

"Eh? What's Narahashi? He keeps collecting Kurt Cobain, the skinny guy with glasses?" (Note: Kurt Donald Cobain, American singer, formed the Nirvana Band)

"Well, that's Narahashi-kun. Anyway, isn't that too rude? Onodera-kun, what do you think?"

“Sorry for not paying attention. But it was Narahashi-senpai. Ya-haha-ohh-”

*

In a residential street park.

It wasn't too far from Tatsuya's apartment, and closer to going to Asuka's house, which meant being in the middle of each other's residences. The two of them sat on two swings each and drank canned drinks.

"How do you say it, everyone is moving forward."

“Onodera-kun, you just graduated two years ago, right? How do you feel, like an uncle?"

"Actually already uncle. From the point of view of a 24-year-old junior high school student, it looks like an existence above the clouds or it resembles something from outer space."

"If you say that, then what about the 26 year old me?"

Asuka rolled her eyes and looked at Tatsuya.

Tatsuya swayed on the swing with a feigned expression of ignorance.

"Narahashi-kun."

“Ah, are you still talking about this?”

"Don't look at him like that. In fact, he is an engineer that Google can invite. It's also to be expected that Kudo-senpai will transfer overseas soon."

"Was the wedding also held overseas?"

"Hmm—I don't know? But there's a possibility."

“Wow—if I'm invited to Hawaii or something, I'd better leave it alone. But first, I have to ask for leave, and second, I have to give a generous gift, right? Oh, it's hard, it's so hard."

"Onodera-kun, did you make up the premise that you would be invited?"

"Well prepare mentally first. Recently, people around me are getting married more and more.”

"I understand--! Then I became anxious——! This is so bad--!"

Asuka leaned forward.” Ha ha." He laughed.

Tatsuya turned his head,

"What do you mean by being anxious?"

"You...wait, you, is it appropriate to say something like that at a time like that? Even though I'm the one who brought up this topic. On the other hand, I hope you can be more positive at times like this."

"So what do you mean?"

“So…! I will think about this kind of thing—! If the people around me start getting married, of course I will bless them. Yes, but I feel like this matter will be closely related to me! That means getting married!”

"Ah"

Tatsuya took a sip of wine.

“This shouldn't be something you worry about, senpai. If you want, there should be a lot of suitors. It's just that you don't have that thought.”

"Huh, is that so?? Is that true? No, if that's the case—"

"What are you ashamed of?"

"I am not ashamed! By the way, how about you, Onodera-kun? Does any girl feel good? Besides Tsubakiya-san."

In fact, there is no such thing as a "good girl" at all.

It would be better to say that since the beginning of the university period, I was completely out of touch with that aspect.

Two years after becoming a teacher. Over time, I've been too busy to tackle a job I'm not familiar with, and really don't have time to maintain good relationships with women. I have to look after the students at school, and I have to look after Hinata when I get home. In between, doodling on exam questions, checking student notes—not even playing social games on the phone.

But this must be just an excuse.

No matter how busy people are, they can manage their own life well once they handle the things they have to do well. There are many people like that. Kudo-senpai was like this, and so was Narahashi-senpai.

Then looking back how about Onodera Tatsuya.

Do you do all kinds of things that relate to yourself well? Exactly as he said, 24 years old or something really uncle. I can not keep the mood of my student days all the time.

"Everyone is moving forward."

Tatsuya squeaked on the swing.

Bend your knees into your legs, then straighten them. Now that he was an adult, he could have a lot of potential energy with just a slight swing.

“I also have to move forward—so as not to be left behind by you.”

"I understand! I understand this—!”

Asuka excitedly echoed grumbling words that had no significance.

She's also on the swing. Creaky. Suddenly, it surpassed Tatsuya's height.

"I also want to advance--ah. I don't want to be left behind--"

"Hmm, let's work harder"

"Yeah yeah- don't leave me where--don't be so anxious--if you want to go ahead, just follow me--"

"Really changed."

"I'm so sick of it—I'll go out with my own selfishness—if you care too much about something like modesty and arrogance, and don't want to do what you did. You'll regret it later—”

Maybe as she said.

But what exactly is this talking about? It seems meaningful, and it seems empty.

Well, everyone's a little drunk. Let every word you say make sense, and there will be no such thing. If the stress that builds up in the workday can be released to some extent, if everyday problems can be reduced to some extent, and if it can be an opportunity to move forward in a positive way, this will suffice.

"Yes, but it's about getting married,"

Asuka said.

"Of course it's been a long time? There's no need to push or worry, and I haven't really done anything like that yet? Don't look at me, I'm a very tolerant woman too, I guess I think I'm the wait-and-see type, right?"

"...What are you talking about?"

"Tell me!"

"I see, it's fine."

"Then—what, Tatsuya-kun, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"No. I just said that."

"Is that so? Well, I'm just asking now."

"Okay"

"I'm at the same workplace as you, Tatsuya-kun, so I'm still a little worried, but it's been almost two years, I feel a little calm, maybe the timing is right, I'm asking because I'm a little worried about other people's femininity."

"Uh"

"Well, I asked you to come for a drink today, and you also came, even though I said that, it's not the first time I've gone out for drinks since I took office. But even so, Tatsuya-kun, are you staying with me like this? Even if you're not ready, maybe the time is right. This is what I wanted to ask you."

“Senpai, are you drunk?”

"Then I must be drunk! I've had too much to drink!"

No, no, no, no way, Tatsuya thought.

When she was a college student, Asuka was famous for her alcohol intake.

I've often heard the legend that he drank a pint of wine and looked like a normal person, surrounded by drunken men who looked like they were everywhere.

If you don't use such means to open your mouth to court while you are drunk, it will spoil the faces of the teachers and make Tatsuya feel ashamed. in various senses.

"Could it be Tatsuya-kun, you're not drunk?"

“I was drunk, because I drank with you, senpai. On the other hand, I reluctantly paid attention to not get drunk.”

"What? Tatsuya-kun you are very cunning. You keep getting girls drunk and you stay in the safe zone. "

"If there's a safe zone, then it's true. After all, there isn't one now."

“What? —!? This is true! Ahaha!”

She stopped the swinging swing.

Drink the rest of the wine.

"That—, that—ah"

Asuka lowered her head and nodded. 

"...?" 

Tatsuya peeked into her expression, and under the dim lighting of the garden, Tatsuya saw his ex-girlfriend's face turning red.

 

 

"Are you going home, going home?"

"Go home? Senpai, is your house?”

"Um"

“…”

This time the turn came and stopped.

Huh, what to do. Senpai's house? It shouldn't be far from here.

“No, don't misunderstand!?”

Asuka panicked, not knowing how to understand Tatsuya's pause.

"Come over to my house and continue drinking! I really have no other intentions! Since going to the store is also very expensive, I've spent a lot of money on this barbecue today, and drinking in the garden is also worth it. . It's almost like that——, that's why I suggested it! Um, really—— Tatsuya-kun, you're a man after all——! Really——!”

"Ah, I'm not talking about that."

"Eh? Then what are you talking about?”

“It's almost time to worry about Hinata. If you leave that girl alone, she won't be able to sleep every time."

"...Ah-!"

Asuka sighed.

Covering her eyes with her right hand, she kept waving her left hand,

"Ah—really—okay, I see, I see. The fact that it was I who underestimated you to pick up the princess here. I see, I'll also try to understand your position, Onodera-kun, so it's better to shut up and go home or be exiled"

"Senpai"

"Why?"

"Maybe I'm being chased?"

“………………Ah- !”

Asuka sighed.

Like an old man in a small town, she keeps--! What--!

"Hey Onodera-kun"

"What is it?"

"A place like yours, a place like this."

"What is it?"

"Shut up!"

Tatsuya was taken aback by the perfectly high voice and closed his eyes.

"Ah—really—"

Asuka pretended to drink. But it seemed, the can in her hand was empty.

"Senior"

"What are you doing!?"

“Are you leaving then? (Note: The original Japanese text here means go and disband, and go and carry on.)”

"Come on okay. Ah, let's disperse. Sorry, I asked you to accompany me until now, but I won't apologize to you! Next time I will ask you to drink again, please tell me!"

"No, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about going to the next store"

"...Eh?"

“So I said that I would go to the next shop where I would continue drinking later. I would meet three times. There seems to be a place near the station where you can drink until late at night. you going?"

"Eh? Are you going?"

"Didn't you invite me, senpai?"

"What about Tsubakiya-san?"

"Send her a message. That person isn't a kid anymore. Tomorrow is a day off after all."

"..."

"Is it better to go to Senpai's house?"

"Eh? Well, no, yes, really? It's quite late, right? But the room still hasn't been cleaned! Don't look at me as a woman!"

Asuka waved her hand “ahaha” and got up from the swing.

"Let's go! It's a hundred times better than just going home! I'll be drinking until this morning—!"

He actually drank with her until morning.

Asuka's drinking capacity seemed to be young, and Tatsuya was exhausted trying not to drink until he fell asleep.

I only remember a tenth of what we talked about.

The topic that was repeated the most was Hinata.

Asuka seemed to be thinking about this flashy student who had the absolute advantage in school. In her words, it might be "not just me, there are all the teachers in the school". Just like this, Tsubakiya Hinata's presence was already very strong. Even if she wasn't in the class where he was homeroom, he had to pay attention to it. If you want to say the reason, it's just that other students also pay attention to Tsubakiya Hinata.

...Isn't this too much.

But this was probably because only Tatsuya and Hinata had such an extreme relationship. Thin and fragile, said the English teacher Asuka, it was a child from the "fragile" era.

I had to remember it as best I could— Tatsuya thought about it again.

And while thinking so, the seeds of trouble have been sown.

And those who sowed the seed did not know it.
