Chapter 16 The Wind Rises

   "I'm going out."

   "Be careful on the road..."

The sound of    leather shoes stepping on the ground gradually faded away, and the apartment suddenly became silent. Sayu, who was sitting on the ground, propped the door with one hand and slowly stood up.

"…it is good."

   She murmured softly, returned to the living room from the entrance, and started sorting out the breakfast utensils on the table, ready to take them to the kitchen for cleaning.

   Wash dishes after breakfast.

   Since Kato Yusuke went out, this is her first job every day.

  The water flowed out of the pipe, and then rushed to the hands, with a little coldness, which made Ogihara Sayu's thoughts gradually clear.

The sound of    "ding ding ding ding dong" sounded in the pool, and the crisp touch of bowls and plates came to the ears, which relieved the feeling of loneliness and loneliness.

  Because there is no room for drying in the shade, Sayu will immediately wipe off the water droplets after washing the dishes.

   It was about ten minutes after finishing these things.

   It takes about ten minutes to walk to the nearest station from here. Has Yusuke already boarded the train? That way, you can get to the school with just one stop.

   Thinking of such a thing, Sayu immediately felt a little amused.

   "What if you get on the train?"

(No matter how much I talk to myself, no one is listening or responding. Whenever Yusuke is not at home, the frequency of my monologue increases dramatically, and even loneliness increases exponentially. )

   "By the way, Yusuke said we could go out to eat together, is this a date...?"

   Sayu murmured, and while her cheeks became blush, her heart beat a little faster.

"what…"

   She called out softly, and the movement of her hand paused slightly.

here we go again.

   "I'm thinking about Yusuke again."

   Sayu whispered after realizing it, and put the dried dishes into the cabinet. Then he snorted from his nose.

It has been about twenty days since I left home. With the money from my brother and the idea of ​​"as long as I can stay away from that home", I have been spending time alone in various hotels, all the way from Hokkaido. Tokyo.

   Until the last penny is spent.

   The can of coffee in my memory is still clearly visible, and the drunk middle-aged man is also vaguely remembered.

  's face has become blurred, and he only remembers that the person seems to have struck up a conversation with him.

  There is no good intentions for no reason in the world, and there is no malicious intentions for no reason.

   Even though he knew that he was a "high school girl", the middle-aged man still wanted to invite me, a time bomb in society, to his home. He should be fully enjoying his identity as JK.

  Sayou thought indifferently: "What was my mood at that time...?"

   Uneasy, helpless, hesitant, as if he was about to agree.

   Then he met the boy miraculously.

   "What an incredible person... Even though he is two years younger than me, he feels mature and reliable."

   "Bring me home so easily, as a condition of renting a house, I just gave an over-the-top reason like "helping with housework"..."

   "I really don't understand..."

   (I am a vibrant high school girl, and even though it doesn’t seem right to me, I think my looks are pretty good. It’s not a boast, it’s just an objective fact.)

   "At least a little...that kind of thought...?"

After saying   , Sayu felt inexplicably depressed.

(why?)

   She doesn't understand.

   Never felt this kind of unease before.

   Kato Yusuke's absence made her feel extremely long, and errands such as housework were finished immediately, and the rest was to wait and wait for someone to go home alone.

  The manga magazine he bought for her, although he read it slowly, he finished reading it in a few days. When reading a book, "the book that Yusuke Kato deliberately bought for her" made her more happy than the content.

  The time she spent with Kato Yusuke made her feel at ease and comfortable.

   But after she was relieved, she was a little scared.

   (How can I be in such a happy environment? What kind of benefits do I offer Yusuke? I don't understand at all.)

   Every day I live in this kind of day when I'm entangled in anxiety of unknown origin, Sayu even thought to himself.

   "It would be great if Yusuke could simply attack me."

   That way she can relax a lot too.

   was needed in this simple and easy-to-understand way, and she also felt that it was okay to touch Kato Yusuke, and even had a little hope in her heart.

  Ogihara Sayu himself doesn't understand why he has such an idea, but the result is obvious, Kato Yusuke has never crossed the line.

   "Hey...I am relieved, but I feel uneasy. I am uneasy, but I feel warm inside."

   She wiped the table with the twisted rag, and sighs poured out of her mouth.

   "How long can I stay here?"

   She murmured and sat on the bed, her soft buttocks shaking with the mattress.

   (When it is inconvenient, will Yusuke choose to kick me out?)

   For example, getting a girlfriend or something…

  Bewildered, she remembered the blue shirt of Yusuke Kato in the washing machine last night.

   and the faint floral scent on the shirt.

   Thinking of this, Sayu felt an inexplicable pain as if his heart was being grabbed.

   "After all, Yusuke is so gentle."

   So Sayu has no doubts about the fact that there will be girls who like him.

   And if a girl confesses to Yusuke, and Yusuke just agrees...

   There is no doubt that your own existence will become an obstacle.

   Sayu thought so.

   In her impression, even high school students, couples in a relationship will often go to each other's house to play, especially if the man lives alone, it is natural to invite him to his home.

   (In that case, there is no room for me at all.)

  My boyfriend and a girl who is not related by blood live under the same roof all the time. No matter how generous a girl is, I am afraid that this will not be acceptable.

   "Haha, if he gets a girlfriend, no matter what, I can only leave."

   Sayu let out an embarrassed laugh, and the negative emotions in her head had a chain reaction that made her think of superfluous things.

The    delusional image kept flashing in his mind, causing Sayu's internal organs to shrink tightly.

   "Yusuke and a girl I don't know are going through the storm."

   As long as he thinks of that scene, Sayu Ogihara feels very disgusted.

   "This has nothing to do with me."

   "Even if Yusuke does have a girlfriend, it's his own choice."

   "It's normal to have that kind of situation after dating."

   She tried to convince herself with various reasons.

   But the more I imagined it, the more unhappy I felt inside.

   "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"

   She lay slumped on the bed, the discomfort from her stomach made her body curl up.

   A vortex of loneliness and negative emotions that he had never experienced before, almost swallowed her up.

   "Yusuke... Come back soon."

   whispered that person's name as if asking for help, and Sayu gradually fell asleep.
