I didn’t come prepared to stay for the night.
After we broke up, we decided to get together again.
Mia says as she parted ways with Eda at the station.
“You don’t have to come, Fukiko….”
“Ara, is there a problem with my presence?”
“N, no but…”
Mia glanced at me.
My heart jumped. I felt something lascivious in Mia’s eyes.
“If there is no problem, I will go too.”
Whether she knew it or not, Eda did not change her opinion.
Eda said she would call Mia when she arrived at Mikura Station.
I went home, changed out of my uniform and quickly got ready.
When I told her about the overnight stay, my mother replied, seemingly uninterested.
Mikoto hadn’t returned from school yet, it seemed.
I arrived at the apartment in front of the station.
To my surprise, Mia was waiting for me outside.
When she spotted me on my bicycle, she smiled and waved her hand at me.
“What’s wrong? Were you too scared to wait in your room?”
“Th, that’s not it!”
Mia shook her head, her face slightly red.
After a moment of silence, she answered.
“I, I left my keys at home….”
“Ah.”
It seems that even a perfectly beautiful girl can make a mistake like this.
“I’ve been calling you a lot, you know?”
“Sorry, I was on my bike.”
I took out my cell phone and sure enough, there were several calls from Mia.
There were also a few calls from Eda.
“I just called Fukiko, and she said she’d let me stay over…”
“I see.”
I picked up my bicycle and headed for the station with Mia.
I just put my bike on the tarmac and walked back into the station.
“Sorry, I was on my bike. I heard from Mia.”
I call Eda on the platform.
Eda’s reply was straightforward.
“Since that seems to be the case, let’s stay at my place.”
“Can I come too?”
“If you want to come.”
How could I not want to come?
However, the reason I wanted to stay at Mia’s house was because she asked me to.
When it comes to Eda’s house, the story is slightly different.
“Well, I’ll go, but…”
I’m her boyfriend. There’s no need to worry about it.
I’ve already told my mother, and I’ve already prepared my luggage.
“What are you going to do with the change of clothes?”
As we boarded the train, I asked Mia, who was still in her school uniform.
“I bought the underwear before you came….And Fukiko said she’d lend me the rest.”
“I see.”
When we arrived at Okunashi station, we took the bus.
This is the second bus I’ve taken today. I’ve been moving so much since the end of the school year.
My summer vacation was going to be a very busy one.
I arrived at Eda’s house.
I was greeted not by Kae, the housekeeper, but by Eda.
When I asked her about it, she told me that her grandfather had just been discharged from the hospital.
So, I heard that her grandfather and grandmother went to a villa in Tohoku to rest and recuperate.
Kae accompanied them to take care of him.
It’s amazing how rich people can think.
“My parents are at the house next door. Ah….Though my dad won’t be home today.”
“Come to think of it, I’ve never met Eda’s parents.”
“I don’t think you should meet them. They’re not very pleasant people.”
She led me to the room where we had studied physics and had dinner together.
Eda changed into her casual clothes, a white dress.
“Since Kae isn’t here, I don’t have anything to prepare for dinner.”
“Ah, I should have bought something.”
I replied as I set down my luggage.
In the end, we had to take delivery.
Mia and I firmly refused Eda’s offer to buy us meals.
Instead, we found a cheap soba noodle restaurant on our cell phones and ordered from there.
“You didn’t lose your key, did you?”
We chatted while waiting for the delivery.
Mia nodded in response to Eda’s question.
“I think it’s home. I put it on my desk so I don’t….forget it.”
“Well, that happens all the time.“
“Does it happen to you too, Fukiko?”
“Yes. It happens all the time.”
Hee. Mia and I both replied at the same time.
Eda raised an eyebrow.
“You seem to have misunderstood something, but I’m not a perfect superhuman, you know?”
No one had said that much.
But I can’t help but get the same feeling from Eda.
She’s first in every test, she’s the student council president, and she’s gorgeous.
However, it seems that her own efforts have a lot to do with her test ranking.
“But thanks to the fact that I forgot my key, I think I’ll be able to get to know Fukiko better.”
Mia smiled.
I think I would fall in love with her even if I were a woman.
But Eda smiled briefly and replied.
“More….That assumes we’re friends, right?”
“Then….I think I can get along with you.”
Mia seemed to be unaffected by Eda’s hateful words.
A normal person would have been angry or confused.
The delivery arrived and we all ate it together.
It was still around 6:30 when we finished eating.
“I haven’t filled up the tub, do you think I could take a shower?”
“Ah, that’s a good idea….I’ve been sweating a lot.”
Mia agreed with Eda’s words.
“I’ll show you around. I’ll also get you a change of clothes.”
“Ah, hey, Fukiko. Do you want to come in with me?”
“Yes?”
Eda rolls her eyes and Mia continues.
“You know, to get to know each other better.”
