Act 2 - Summer Break

11-4 

"HAAAAAH......" (Rintaro)

Letting out a sigh, I get on the train and move to the nearest station where my home is located.

One of the good things about moving here is that there is a large supermarket between the station and my apartment. In addition, it is open 24 hours a day. With such convenience,  can't move from here anymore.

I stock up on onions, pork ribs, and udon noodles, which I often use, also some seasonings along with them.

Rei is a ketchup lover and consumes a lot of ketchup. Therefore, I buy two more and finish shopping for the day.

While shaking the plastic bag, I walk back to the front of the apartment.

"Hmm......?" (Rintaro)

As I'm about to unlock the door to my house, my phone in my pocket suddenly beeps a notification.

I check it and find a LINE message in the name of Kakihara Yuusuke.

[Wanna go to the pool with us this Wednesday?]

――――Heck, what's really going on?

I enter the house, put the contents of the plastic bag in the refrigerator, and sit down on the couch.

After a few minutes of exchanging messages with Kakihara, I barely managed to understand what was going on.

According to him, the three of them had talked about going to the pool after I was gone. Nogi, who wasn't there, was invited to join them, and it seems that "Nikaido" suggested that they invite me as well, who had been with them earlier, anyway.

What an unnecessary thing she had done...... but I was the one who told her to call me if she needed anything. Although it was just a courtesy, I didn't feel comfortable rejecting it.

Besides——yep, it's a little hard to refuse when you get a message like this.

[I'm going to try to appeal more to Azusa at the pool. Rintaro is the only one who knows about this, so could you help me?] (Yuusuke)

Ye~ah, I don't want to. Frankly speaking, it's a hassle and I hate it so much.

However, I will be most grateful if Nikaido and Kakihara become getting intimate. Maybe I should try to cooperate with them here.

I feel like I should stay away from Nikaido anyway, but on the other hand, it's a chance to disillusion her.

I can't think of anything groundbreaking that would lower my value and raise Kakihara's, but it should be worth a try.

And well――――I'm ashamed to say that I've never had the experience of playing with others during summer break, so I have a slight feeling of longing for it.

At least once in my high school experience, I think it'll be nice to take the plunge.

[Got it, I'll go.] (Rintaro)

I type that message and send it.

Shortly after that, I receive a message from Kakihara, who was happy to have me participate and sent me detailed information about the time and place of the meeting.

Truly, Kakihara is a good guy. He only goes blank when it comes to Nikaido.......

"Hello~ I am Bujangga from pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id, Yoroshiku!"

At a certain time, there are creatures that walk by two feet. These creatures can be divided into two by gender. These creatures are surprisingly able to pick something using things called hands.

And on a certain day, two of these creatures meet.

"Halloo~ I am Furujakka, ndesu! Nice to meet you!"

"Y, yes. Nice to meet you too, I am Fuurawan."

"Fuurawan-chan ka? Ii no namae."

"S, sangkyu."

The two greet each other due of their faces are facing each other.

They speak, breathe, blink, sweat, and so.

And after a long time passes,

"!?"

"Kyaa~ Furujakka-kyun."

"Daijoubu ka? Fuurawan-chan."

"D, daijoubu... desu."

"Mmm."

"Doushita no?"

"Fuurawan-chan no kaori, suuuuggoku WANGY, hmmmmmppppsshhh ahhhh wangyyyy."

"Mou~ Furujakka-kyun no eeccchi~."

On a certain day, these two meet and have lunch because they are hungry.

The boy orders fried rice while the girl orders a serve of seasoned rice being processed by frying.

For the drinks, the boy orders hot chocolate while the girl orders a cup of chocolate that has not been cold yet.

They eat their food.

They also feed some spoons with each other.

They then having a leisure exchange.

"Ikehh, yaru?"

"Damee~"

"IkehhHH!"

"..."

"Ikeh, tanoshii, kimochii, ore, ganbarimasu!!!"

"Mouu~"

"Dame ka?"

"..."

"Dame nanoka."

"Ee, haayaakuuu~"

The two of them are having exercise, training, and workout, then.

When they finished, then they restarted.

And when they finished, the boy pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the girl who asked the third.

And when they finished, the boy once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the girl also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

◆◆◆

On the other occasion,

On a day that is not a night.

That day the sun is shining brightly because it's a day and 12:00 o'clock.

The day is bright and the sun has not been set yet.

The breeze can be felt due to the air is flowing.

As he is breathing, a certain boy is approaching a girl.

"Yaa, kitten-chan, can I have your namae?"

"S, su, suteki~. Ah, hai. Fuurawan desu."

"Fuurawan-chan, huh. What a kirei no namae. By the way, watashi no namae is Badz Zheengan. Watashi wa Son of a Beach. Watashi came from The Pangea Selatan. Diligent in setsuyaku. Ketsueki type is I, I for Ikkehmen. Watashi no hobby wa breathing. Yoroshiku."

"Yoroshiku, Badz Zheengan-san."

"Fuurawan-chan, watashi no yubi to kimi no chawan, let's have made karera meet and greet."

"Hai."

"Watashi-tachi will have much tanoshi."

They have a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok.

When they have done of their a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok, then they re-doing again.

When they finished again, the girl pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the boy who asked the third.

And when they finished, the girl once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the boy also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

"Fuurawan-chaaannn!!! Ikanaide!!!!."

"Gomen ne, Furujakka-kun."

"Dameee, Fuurawan-chaannnn!!!"

"Sayonara, Furujakka-kun."

"Ima, ore wa, Furujakka wa, pemuda tuna asmara dearimasu."

Who can stand to endure this situation

Who doesn't feel the loss

You leave me when I'm so in love

When I'm crazily in love

you choose another guy

Who can stand being dumped

Whose heart not hurt

The memories that have been passed

I keep it deep inside my heart

We are not one anymore

It's alright, I'll get through the days strong-heartedly

My wish is only one, be safe and sound

I can only be able to harbor this, from day to night

Because I know I'm just nobody

It's alright, I'll harbor this feeling inside my heart

I'll keep wish you live well

All I can do is hope you won't regret

Goodbye and thank you

"AWOKWOKAOWKOKAOKWKAOWKOAKOK!!!"

How should I explain this to my parents

We had gone through this long

But ended up breaking up

You are tempted by another guy's love

You yourself had been declared it

Living our love until our old days

Won't two-timing, I'm the only one for you

But now there's another guy inside your heart

It's as if the morning is cloudy

Then the day is rainy

In the afternoon you hurt me

And in the night I cry for you

I can only imagine

All of those had been just memories now

I rode you back, went through the way

Hugging under the rain

But now you are choosing

To be hugged by another guy

Do you not sense

How heavy-heartedly I am

Have to lost my loved one

Don't wanna leave my house

I have no appetite

If I'm not fed

"I'm home." (Rei)

"Ah, welcome home." (Rintaro)

A few moments later, Rei comes into the living room.

She's looking somewhat tired and is brushing her hair, which is sticking to her face with sweat, out of her face in a look of exhaustion.

"You are pretty drenched, yes. I'm going to boil some somen noodles now, so you can go take a shower." (Rintaro)

"Mmm...... Thank you. I had a dance lesson today for a new song, so I'm pretty worn out." (Rei)

She turns from the living room to the hallway and heads for the bathroom.

I begin preparing the somen while I boil water in a pot.

There is not much to do, though. I cut up some scallions for condiments and grated some frozen yuzu. I also add a little sesame oil to the noodle soup base to give it a different flavor, which I prepared myself. There is nothing special about the somen itself, but I personally like being able to customize the sauce in this way.

(......Ah, did she leave the towel?)

I think of that when the somen is finished boiling.

I don't think there was a spare bath towel in the bathroom.

I finish putting the somen on a big plate and go to the bathroom with a clean bath towel.

I can still hear the sound of the shower. So I have avoided such a lucky situation of bumping into Rei, who had just finished taking a shower here.

However, there are miscalculations in everything――――.

"Ugh......." (Rintaro)

Such words leaked out unintentionally.

White fabric can be seen through the gaps in Rei's clothes, which have been messily removed and scattered.

Those are...... probably underwear.

I don't mean to be so blunt, but I have seen her underwear before. I'm in charge of the laundry in place of Rei, who is very busy. Obviously, I have seen them.

However, in those cases, I had her put them in a net or something similar that would make it difficult to see the contents before washing them, so I didn't see them clearly.

(Da......! Damn!)

I shake my head to cool my hot cheeks.

Forget 'em, forget 'em all.

I put the bath towel near her clothes, telling myself that over and over again. Then I gently shifted her clothes to hide her underwear.

With this, she won't know I saw her underwear――――I hope.

"......Really ridiculous." (Rintaro)

If I think about it calmly, there is a good chance that Rei won't mind at all. If I was the only one who panicked, that was a little unfair.

Recently, I've probably been acting somewhat strange.

However, I have spent my time trying not to be aware of it. I feel that if I become aware of it, something would change――――.

"W-why...... Rintaro and Azusa are together......!?" (Yuusuke)

I'm overclocking my brain in front of a visibly flustered Kakihara.

The situation can be described as a "fighting scene" situation. The best way to handle the situation is to choose the right words and the right way to say them.

"Ermm, Yuusuke-kun――――." (Rintaro)

"I was asking for love consultation. I have something I really want to consult Shidou-kun." (Azusa)

~"(This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there!!!)"~

A Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id ~ originally translated by bujangga - pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id

I almost spewed it out.

It's bad――――but in this situation, maybe it's a good job.

Love consultation. Yes, let's get on with this.

"Right. I told you both the other day that I have a girlfriend, didn't I? That's why Nikaido-san, who mistakenly thought I was experienced in love, wanted to consult me." (Rintaro)

"I-is that so? I thought the two of you were getting close without my knowledge! Hahaha!" (Yuusuke)

Hey Kakihara, your laugh is fading. Don't force yourself to laugh.

Anyway, with this reaction, there is an atmosphere of not being fully trusted. Shall I push it one more step?

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell the two of you what we were discussing. Especially you,  Yuusuke-kun!" (Rintaro)

"M-me⁉" (Yuusuke)

Guess it, Kakihara Yuusuke. And misunderstand it.

The fact that I can't tell especially you mean that what we were discussing is about you.

The fact that you were mentioned in the love consultation means that Nikaido is aware of you in some small way.

It's all just a misunderstanding! Please!

"For letting me take the bath first. Thank you." (Rei)

"Yea. Dinner's ready, so have a seat." (Rintaro)

"Mmm, okay." (Rei)

I urge Rei to sit down after she got out of the bath and put a plate of somen noodles and a bowl of noodle soup on the table.

She and I both put our hands together and then begin to dig in.

"Mmm, delicious." (Rei)

"Glad to hear. I'm cutting corners a little, though......." (Rintaro)

"It's not a problem. There are a lot of creative things on the table, so this is fun." (Rei)

Rei said that and put some green onions in the sauce. Then she adds three drops of red chili oil and sips the somen again.

"Is it okay if we change the dipping soup?" (Rei)

"No problem. If we want to reset it, I can go in and make some more." (Rintaro)

"Okay." (Rei)

Dripping red chili oil or sesame oil on the soup is certainly tasty, but the problem is that if you want to change the taste, you can't change it back. If that's the case, just prepare it "plain". I feel it's a bit of a waste, but I have no choice, since there will be no other way, even from a hygienic standpoint.

"Rintaro, I'm off tomorrow, and I want to go shopping. Will you go with me?" (Rei)

"Wait, wait, ...... I don't know how many times we've had this conversation, but wouldn't it be bad for us to walk out together?" (Rintaro)

"It'll be fine. I've got a wig to make it easier for us to walk out." (Rei)

Saying that, Rei pulls out a clump of hair from her bag.

It is a wig that imitates flowing black hair. It is the exact opposite of Rei's blonde hair.

"If I put this on, people won't be able to tell it's me. Hair makes a big impression after all." (Rei)

"Well, indeed."

"I'm home." (Rei)

"Ah, welcome home." (Rintaro)

A few moments later, Rei comes into the living room.

She's looking somewhat tired and is brushing her hair, which is sticking to her face with sweat, out of her face in a look of exhaustion.

"You are pretty drenched, yes. I'm going to boil some somen noodles now, so you can go take a shower." (Rintaro)

I think of that when the somen is finished boiling.

I don't think there was a spare bath towel in the bathroom.

I finish putting the somen on a big plate and go to the bathroom with a clean bath towel.

I can still hear the sound of the shower. So I have avoided such a lucky situation of bumping into Rei, who had just finished taking a shower here.

However, there are miscalculations in everything――――.

"Ugh......." (Rintaro)

Such words leaked out unintentionally.

White fabric can be seen through the gaps in Rei's clothes, which have been messily removed and scattered.

Those are...... probably underwear.

She certainly gives a completely different impression when she puts on the wig. Her natural hair is not put together, so her blonde hair sticks out in places, but once that is taken care of, it will be safe to say that she is a different person.

"......I get it. I'll go out with you then." (Rintaro)

"Thank you. I want to buy some more clothes for the summer." (Rei)

"Ah, in that case, can I go shopping while you're at it?" (Rintaro)

"I don't mind. What are you going to buy?" (Rei)

"Men's swimsuits." (Rintaro)

"Eh......?" (Rei)

I thought it over, but I only have a school swimsuit.

At worst, I can take it with me, but that would be too tacky. At this point, I should probably bring one swimsuit, even if I have to spend my savings.

"I have an appointment to go to the pool in the near future. So I thought I'd buy one......eh, what's wrong?" (Rintaro)

Rei, who had been relatively talkative until then, suddenly fell silent.

I'm worried and call out to her, and she finally opens her mouth.

"――――with whom?" (Rei)

"Pardon?" (Rintaro)

"With whom?" (Rei)

Eh, Rei-san, are you angry about something?

I flinch at her words, which are more forceful than ever.

And I, for some reason, explain the situation to her in polite words.

Of course, I didn't tell her about Kakihara's situation.
