Episode 44: Together
After killing Kazuya
Konishi, I returned to my home in Gunma and ran into Shimizu-san and her
daughter in front of my apartment.
“Hello, Onizuka-san.”
“Oh, hello, Misa-chan.”
“Oh, Yamato-kun, have
you gone out?”
“Yes. I was in Tokyo
for work until a while ago.”
“I see. It seems like
your new job is going well.”
Shimizu-san and her daughter
knew that I had lost my job, and they were very concerned about it.
That's why both
Shimizu-san and Misa-chan looked happy when they heard my words.
“Are you two going
shopping?”
“No, we're going to
have lunch. Oh, by the way, would you like to join us, Yamato-kun?”
“That's right.
Onizuka-san, let's go together.”
The two of them invited
me.
A thought instantly
crossed my mind.
I wondered if it would
be a bad idea for a mother and daughter to get too involved with me, a
murderer.
I want them to be
happy.
Perhaps I should keep
my distance.
Just as I was about to
conclude that and say no.
“Let's go, Onizuka-san!”
Misa-chan clasped her
arms around my arm.
“Eh, hey
Misa-chan.......”
Misa-chan started to
walk away, dragging me with her.
When I looked at
Shimizu-san as if asking for help, she looked at me as if she was looking at a
cute little animal and smiled.
◇ ◇ ◇
We went to a nearby
family restaurant and spent about an hour and a half there.
The conversation was
about Misa's studying for her exams and my new job.
Despite the fact that
they knew that I was a murderer and killed people every week, they were still
smiling at me as before.
When the meal was over
and we were about to leave the table.
“Ah, it’s my treat.”
Shimizu-san picked up a
slip of paper on the table.
“Eh, I can’t let you do
that…”
“It’s okay, It's okay.
We invited you, so let me do this.”
Shimizu-san replied
with a smile like the sun.
I refused again, but
Shimizu-san pushed me over the edge, and in the end I ended up being treated to
a meal.
After leaving the
family restaurant, we walked back to our apartment building.
On the way, the mother
and daughter said, “We'll stop by the supermarket and then go home.”
But I wanted to return
the favor for buying me a meal, so I volunteered to carry their luggage.
“Are you sure? Yamato-kun?”
“Yes. I'm pretty strong
for a guy like me, so I can handle a lot of stuff.”
“Are you okay with
rice?”
“No problem.”
I'm up to level 13 and
I'm three or four times stronger than most men.
It's not hard to carry
rice.
◇ ◇ ◇
“You're such a help.”
“Isn’t it heavy? Onizuka-san.”
“I'm totally fine.”
I answered while
holding the rice in both hands.
It seemed that it was a
special sale day at the supermarket, and Shimizu-san bought quite a lot.
Two bags of groceries,
tissue paper, toilet paper, and two bags of ten kilograms of rice.
“I usually buy only one
five-kilo bag of rice, but the ten-kilo bag was cheaper.”
“That doesn't mean you
have to buy two bags.”
“Yamato-kun said he'd
carry it for me, so I thought I could take advantage.”
“Oh, my mother...”
Shimizu mother and
daughter are walking with their luggage in both hands.
I followed them as I
watched their backs.
“It's good to have a
man's help after all! Oh, hey, does Yamato-kun have a girlfriend?”
Shimizu-san suddenly
turned around as if she remembered something and asked me that question.
“No, I don't, but...”
“Then why don't you go
out with Misa? She seems to
like you, Yamato-kun.”
“Hey, mom, what are you
talking about?”
“I mean, Misa always
talks about Yamato-kun at dinner.”
“But that's not the
point.......”
When Misa meets my
eyes, her ears turn red and she turns her head.
“Or do you want to go
out with me if you don't mind being with an old lady?”
“Eh……..?”
“I’m just kidding.
Sorry, Yamato-kun.”
“Ha, ha.......”
I'm sure Saeki would be
able to respond here in a funny way, but I don't have that kind of creative
ability.
I just smiled bitterly,
feeling bitter about my poor communication skills.
thought for sure he would be her father figure, but i guess having an milf and an JK is better
