Episode 5 – Do you play after school?

“I’ll take it!”
“Okay. Then here you go.”
When I opened it, it was a lunch box that looked like it was made by a professional chef.
“Eh? Aren’t you a good cook, Mirei?”
“I cook all the time, but this is even better than that!”
“T-thank you.”
Mirei san, who was slightly reddening, was also cute.

“Itadakimasu”
I try the dashimaki tamago first.
“Delicious!”
“That was good.”
After that, I ate all of them, and they were all delicious.

“It’s good~. I wish I could eat a lunch made by someone else.”
“Why don’t you make it yourself?”
“That’s true for you, too, but I’m sure you can get your beloved girlfriend to make it for you, can’t you?”
He teased me like this. But I am a little happy because it was impossible in junior high school.

From there, we worked hard in class and then after school.
“Masa, you’ve already studied ahead, haven’t you?”
“Well, I’m not sure if I’ve got it all in my head.”
I’ve gotten used to being called Moumasa (The already masa)
“No club activities today, so it’s a free day, right?”
“I see”
Even after school, there are people like us in the classroom, talking, studying, or going to club activities.

“Ah, I got a SAINE from Mirei san”
“What did she say?”
“She said to wait in the classroom.”

After talking with Haruto for a while, Mirei san and Hitomi san came over.
“We’ll go to the place we talked about in the morning.”
“Haruto kun, if you have free time in your schedule, would you like to come?”
“I’ll come!”

“Where are you going, Mirei san?”
“Secret”
“Does Hitomi san know?”
“Yes. It’s a fun place.”
“Fun?”
We walked for a while.
“I saw it.”
“Around One?”
It’s famous as an amusement center where you can play arcade games and move your body.
Haruto looked really happy.
I was looking forward to going there for the first time.

“All right! I’ll go first!”
“Go for it!”
Haruto is trying his hand at a common game of see how many times you can get in a basketball within 60 seconds.
“Fifteen huh~”
“That’s great!”
“Masa, you do it next”
“What?”
I can play tennis and other sports with a racket, but I can’t play anything else.
“Let’s show Mirei san how cool you are, shall we?”
He said in my ear
“Yes!”
I had no choice but to do it.

“I can’t do it. I can’t do it at all.”
I’ve only put in three bottles. There are only half of them left.
I can’t show Mirei san how cool I am if I keep going like this…
“Your left hand should touch the ball a little and snap it with the wrist of your right hand.
Mirei san supports my hand.
I think this kind of thing is something for me to do, but it doesn’t matter because Mirei san has a cool side too.

“Masa’s face is red.”
“Mirei san’s a little red, too.”
“You two look good together, don’t you?”
“Yes, they do.”

As a result, I got 10 bottles in.
“Thank you, Mirei san!”
“y- yeah///”
Hitomi san then say
“Hoi!”
She shoots and shoots and shoots.
“Thirty..”
“Well, she’s a basketball player.”
That’s amazing. It was unexpected that Hitomi san was a basketball player, given her usual appearance.
“Even though I tried to show her how cool I am…”
“Haruto, you were cool too, you know?”
“Seriously?!”
My friend is a bit simple.

The four of us also had fun playing table tennis and various games at the arcade.

We were all together for a while on the way home.
“By the way, Masa lives with Mirei san, right?”
“He’s also a butler, in case you were wondering.”
“So, have you done it already?”
“done it?”
Haruto asks in a quiet voice.
What do you mean you did it?
Haruto said, “No, forget it,” but I couldn’t forget it.

“Okay, I’ll go this way.”
“I’m over here.”
“We’re over here.”
“Bye~”
“See you tomorrow!”
“Yeah!”
I had a lot of fun today.
