Chapter 53


Something is going on in here .


In a hot sunday afternoon .


Carrying a heavy luggage, I walked back to my apartment after shopping .


Since it was Sunday, most of people on the streets were either housewife’s, shopping, or families going out together . I gazed at that scenery as I waited for the red lights .


(maybe I brought too much…)


I sweated from my forehead as I carried the luggage with both of my hands . Today I was lured by the grandma of the shop who told me that she will discount 40% out of everything I buy, so I ended up buying much more than usual .


I just can’t win against discounts .


Confirming that the light changed to green, I crossed the road while bitterly smiling, alone .


(I need to hurry)


I wanted to go back home quick and cool myself in my room with the air-conditioner .


Urged by that desire, I crossed the road with a half-run .


But I stopped my legs immediately after someone entered my vision .


The person who was walking behind me avoided me with a troubled expression, but I didn’t even notice that, and remained standing dumbfounded while looking at that someone .


(Eh, N-No way…)


My heart started racing in a rapid speed after confirming who it was . Black hair, black eyes with glasses and a dark-natured expression .


When the person before me overlapped with the one in my memories, I couldn’t control my breath .


That person who was crossing the same street to the opposite direction, was my classmate in middle school, Akuya .


(What is he doing here?……)


Of course, I didn’t stop walking because I was yearning to meet him . It was the complete opposite of that .


The bitter memories of that time started refreshing itself inside my head .


Akuya Shinji .


This person was the main culprit behind my fear from men and the ringleader who destroyed my life .


Right after realizing that it was him, my body started shivering .


No, I don’t want to go through all of that again!!


I screamed in my mind .


And almost as if my scream reached him, Akuya crossed the road without noticing me and walked away .


Waiting for him until he disappeared from my field of vision, I finally felt relieved .


At the same time, the light was about to change back to red, so I continued crossing the road in haste .


(I-It’s probably not, him……)


It’s definitely him .


I was confident that it was him . But not being able to accept that truth, I unconsciously forced myself to believe the opposite .


(Let’s hurry back home)


I wanted to leave this place as fast as possible .


With a different motive this time, I hurried back home .

The next day after the amusement park incident with the old man .


Lina, Kamaishi and I were eating lunch together again .


Summer was gradually approaching and the the weather was getting hot . I can’t wait for the summer holidays already .


Thinking about summer holidays while sitting on the usual bench, I went to open my lunch box .


“Ah, that’s right! I’ve got something for you two . ”


Lina brought out a large box from her bag .


“What’s that?”


Asking her about the box, Lina answered me with a confident expression .


“Try to not be surprised . I actually made cookies . ”


Lina opened the box, making the large quantity of the tiny cookies inside become visible . This looks delicious .


I let out a sound of admiration after seeing what was inside, and asked .


“What’s up with this?”


“I actually got into making pastry, so I brought some with me today . ”


She then closed the box with the lid again .


“Let’s eat this after lunch . Now we need to focus on our lunch boxes . ”


Watching Placing the box back in her bag, I tried talking to Kamaishi about the cookies .


“Those cookies looked great, right, kamaishi-san?”


Despite talking to her, Kamaishi didn’t reply .


Feeling that something was unusual, I turned to check on her .


She was gazing at the blue sky a n daze with her lunch box on top of her knees .


“Kamaishi-san?”


“… eh? A, uum, yes?


“What’s wrong? You’ve been like that for the entire day . ”


“Indeed, Saya-dono . You’ve been acting weird today . ”


Lina agreed to my words .


Kamaishi seemed to be not with us today, it was like she was thinking about something else .


She flustered in class when the teacher found her gazing at the sky and even bumped against a wall when she was walking in the corridor . She was acting a lot more different than usual .


“Y-You think? I’m acting just as usual . ”


“Is that so? Do you perhaps have some troubles going on?”


“We can help you out if you want . ”


Seeming somehow troubled when both Lina and I pressed her to talk, Kamaishi suddenly stood up .


“Ah, I-I’m going to get some drinks . ”


Kamaishi walked off as if she was running away from us .


There’s definitely something odd going on .


It was weird from her to go get a drink despite having her water bottle along .


I pondered about a possible reason for her to act unusual as I looked at the water bottle she left behind .


“I wonder what’s going with her . ”


“Who knows . I’m not sure about the reason, but something is going on with her . ”


Both me and Lina noticed Kamaishi’s odd behavior, but we weren’t intending on asking her any further .


Everyone got something they don’t want other people to know about . I don’t want her to hate me just because I pressed her too much to answer .


“Come to think of it, Kamiya Yato . there’s something I want to ask you . ”


Lina addressed me, seeming to have recalled something .


“What is it suddenly?”


“Well, I’ve curious about itf for a while now . Kamiya Yato…… why are you keeping your skills a secret from Kamaishi?”

“Husband?! K-Kamiya-kun is not my husband!!”

“I told you…”


“Ah, your husband is here!”


“Eh? W-Where?”


“Ahaha, I’m kidding!!”
