I push the child!

Chapter 130 129. It’s not important anymore
Makimura Taku sat down at the table, Hoshino Ai brought up the cooked rice porridge, and the two sat facing each other.

The warm sunshine shone in slantingly, and crisp bird calls came from outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"what about the taste?"

"very nice."

"That's great." Hoshino Ai looked relieved with a faint smile on her face.

She took off the apron around her body and sat back down in her seat.

The way Makimura Taku was drinking porridge made her couldn't help but look at his eyes, ears, and bangs that hadn't been taken care of since getting up...

At that time, neither of them spoke, as if there was an unbreakable silence in the air.

"How long do you have to keep an eye on?" Makimura Taku said, "Is it possible that you have a hobby of watching people eat?"

"What if there is. Looking at you like this, will your appetite improve?"

"Then, I hurried out and was about to take a taxi when I saw someone driving you over."

"Anyway," Hoshino lowered his voice like he was complaining, "I was just about to take a shower and go to bed, but Yuki suddenly said that you 'died' alone in the wilderness of Umezudera Town. If no one picks you up, it will probably happen tomorrow. Just one more corpse..."

"That's it."

"This is not a lie."

"Yuki?"

"Well," Hoshino Ai suddenly changed the subject, "Yesterday...yesterday Yuki called me and asked me to go to Umezu Temple Town to find you."

"the first time?"

"No matter how I think about it, it's more believable that she was drugged." Taku Makimura thought for a while and then added, "Or maybe she knocked me out?"

"It's not drugged," she said, "it's obsessed, like a fan being fascinated by an idol?"

"Just knowing that there is a beautiful girl sitting across from me can make me order three more bowls of rice."

"Confused...confused?"

"Don't worry about that. They are on a business trip these days and are not at home. No one knows you are here."

"No." Hoshino Ai shook his head.

"I didn't expect that the first time I entered a girl's room would be like this..."

"...This must be a curse."

"Nothing." Makimura Taku waved his hand, "Speaking of which, President Saito and Miss Kyoko..."

She raised her eyes and said, "At that time, she said that she knocked you unconscious in Umezuji Town and asked me to go find you quickly. But when I asked her what happened, she didn't tell me anything."

"Hahaha, what?"

"It's not Yuki." Hoshino Ai shook his head, "But it should be someone she hired. The driver helped you out of the car and then helped you to my home."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Taku Makimura's eyes, as if he was observing. Taku Makimura paused, nodded, and asked softly, "Did you see her last?"

Hoshino Ai nodded slowly, "I guess Yuki was already on the way to the airport when he called me..."

"That's good, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to explain."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they are at home, after all," she said, "Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"...Yeah...Yeah."

Makimura Taku thought, if they were official boyfriend and girlfriend, they would have done something by this time.

Hoshino Ai showed a shaken expression and said, "...Yeah, really? Yeah..."

Both of them tacitly turned their faces away. Hoshino Ai pinched his face with his right hand and made a popping sound with his mouth. Makimura Taku lowered his head to drink the porridge.

"Um," Hoshino Ai suddenly asked after a while, "Did Yuki say she would come back? When will she come back next time?"

"I don't know." Makimura Taku shook his head, "At least I don't know."

"That's it." Hoshino Ai touched his ears.

Makimura Taku finished the porridge. This bowl of porridge was made by Hoshino Ai himself. It tasted delicious. It was the first time for him to eat breakfast cooked for him by a girl. It felt very special.

He wanted to take the bowl to the faucet and wash it clean. Hoshino Ai stood up and stopped him. She said I'll do it.

He was sitting in the living room of Hoshino Ai's house, looking from the sofa to the girl in the kitchen who was washing dishes with her sleeves rolled up.

Hoshino Ai tied up all her long purple hair, and she looked so virtuous that people felt heart-warming. "Makimura," Hoshino Ai lowered his head and washed the dishes, "what do you think of Yuki...how do you view her."

"What do you think of her?"

"Ah."

"It feels a bit complicated, how should I put it?"

"like?"

"How do you like it?"

"I should have asked you this question before." Hoshino smiled, but she still lowered her head to wash the dishes and never looked into Taku Makimura's eyes.

Makimura Takuya found it funny. When did liking this kind of emotion become complicated? Even he himself didn't know.

He initially liked Hoshino Ai, and only Hoshino Ai.

But who doesn’t like a girl like Hoshino Ai?
She is lively and enthusiastic, friendly and sincere, unrestrained and cheerful.

Although sometimes she is not so sincere, as a girl who has lacked love since childhood, she has done well enough.

He wanted to know when he started to like Hoshino Ai.

Maybe he had already fallen in love with this mysterious and lovely girl at first sight when they first met in the car last fall.

Maybe it was when they stayed in the same hotel, and it was possible that Hoshino Ai's shining eyelashes in the snow and moonlight impressed him.

Maybe it’s her sleeping peacefully next to the fireplace, or maybe it’s her figure looking out onto the river among the maple leaves...

There are so many reasons to like her.

He seemed to only like Hoshino Ai, at first he thought.

Until Ogura Yuki appeared in his life.

It was a different feeling than when getting along with Hoshino Ai.

That kind of pure love is not with Ogura Yuki. They were just bosses and subordinates at the beginning, maybe also friends.

But the longer they spend time together, the more ambiguous their relationship becomes.

When did their relationship become ambiguous? Makimura Taku thought, this Ogura Yuki should remember it more clearly than he does...

In fact, he felt that he did not like Ogura Yuki, and this idea did not change even until yesterday evening.

But on the gravel beach the night before parting, Ogura Yuki brought him another unspeakable emotion.

Is that like it?
He rarely made a fool of himself once in his life, and it was because of two girls.

It would be great if I could like two girls at the same time.

"I like you." he said.

Hoshino's hands that loved washing dishes paused, and the water made a squeaking sound when it hit the iron plate.

She slowly raised her head, and the two looked at each other through the sunlight. This time she seemed to be back to last autumn.

It doesn't matter what the answer to that question is anymore, she thought with a blush and her heart beating.

"Do you have any plans for the afternoon? Recording programs or something." After lunch, they sat on the sofa, and Makimura Taku turned to ask.

Hoshino Ai shook his head, "The show will continue filming in a few days, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Makimura Taku said, "Then I'll go back today. Thank you for taking care of me. Breakfast and lunch were delicious."

"Ah, are you going back now?"

"Ah."

"It's hard to come to my house once, it doesn't matter if you stay longer...?"

"That's fine, but..." Makimura Taku said, "You probably didn't get much rest last night, so why not catch up on your sleep in the afternoon."

"That's okay." Hoshino Ai quickly waved his hand, rolled his eyes and thought, "By the way, there are newly bought games at home, let's play together?"

"game?"

"galgame."
