I didn’t ask her to put it on.
I didn’t ask, but when the knock came on the door, I opened it to find Miyagi wearing the blue skirt I had chosen.
「Sendai-san, about Mio-san——」
The words I hear are cut off in mid-sentence.
I looked at Miyagi’s face to see what was wrong, but her brow was wrinkled.
「What?」
I don’t mean to look at her seriously enough to get a grim look, but I hear a low voice.
「Eh, ah, it’s nothing. What’s wrong with Mio?」
The skirt looks good on you.
It’s cute.
Let me do your makeup.
I can’t come up with such simple words.
After hearing the word “jealousy” from Miyagi, I don’t know how to treat her anymore. I want to be myself as usual, but I keep acting unnatural.
I wonder if Miyagi is thinking about me more than I imagined, or if she is trying to have a relationship with me that isn’t roommate.
These thoughts are running around in my head, and words that usually come out easily are not coming out, or I am unable to laugh naturally.
「What time are you going to pick up Mio-san?」
The word “Mio-san” that Miyagi said hit me on the head. I know that if I don’t act normally, I will only alarm Miyagi, but that is not a good word for me now that I can’t act normally.
I swallow the sigh that is about to come out.
I don’t call her out on it, so it’s not a big deal.
I should allow her to call her “Mio-san” in the same way that she have allowed to call her with “-san” up until now, even though I don’t feel good about it. I can’t be the unusual me forever.
「Mio, I’m not going to pick her up because she’s coming here by herself.」
「She will come all the way here alone?」
「Yes, but… No one is coming today except Mio, and I’d be surprised if she wasn’t alone.」
I look at Miyagi.
She is wearing the blue skirt I chose for her today.
That alone is enough to satisfy me.
「That’s not what I meant. Wouldn’t it be better if you went to pick her up?」
「It’s alright, you know?」
I have sent Mio a map with the route to this house.
She’s not a directionless person, and even if she gets lost, she’s the type to grab people around her and ask them for directions, so there is no need to worry.
「You never know, she might not show up on time.」
「She said it’s not a place to get lost and that she’ll be fine.」
「I’m not worried about her being lost.」
「Then, what are you worried about?」
「Mio-san, she’s likely to come at one o’clock or three o’clock on her own, even though she said she would be here at two o’clock. She’s going to say she’s off by an hour or so.」
Our appointment with Mio is at two o’clock.
I would like to say, “Let’s wait leisurely because there is still more than an hour to go,” but Miyagi’s words are not wrong.
「She’s certainly that type, and in case you’re wondering, I’ll tell her it’s not too early or too late. At any rate, if she goes inside…」
I invite Miyagi into my room and pick up my phone.
I have already finished lunch early, so there is no problem if he comes earlier than scheduled. I am used to Noto-senpai being loose with time, even though she is not coming today. But Miyagi will be concerned about it, so I will send a message to Mio.
「Why don’t you sit down?」
After calling out to Miyagi, who was wandering around the room, perhaps restless, I sat down with my back against the bed.
「Sendai-san. I, I don’t have anything to say to Mio-san. What am I supposed to do?」
Miyagi blurts out and sits down next to me.
「Mio will speak on her own, so you just have to listen to her.」
「Are you sure I can just listen to her?」
「I really don’t want you to just listen, so if she asks you a question, at least answer it.」
「I know that much.」
Miyagi pulled the platypus with a tissue growing on its back and placed it between us. Then she patted the head with a plop. Instead of holding Miyagi’s hand, I hold the platypus’ hand.
「How late does Mio-san will stay?」
Miyagi says in a gruff voice.
「I don’t know, we can guess.」
「Did Mio-san get a stomach ache or headache today?」
「She seemed fine in the morning.」
「Is there ever a time when she’s not well?」
「Not much, I guess.」
I hear a small sigh from next to me.
I know how she feels.
The very fact that she is meeting with Mio, who’s probably not the type of person that Miyagi is surrounded by, must be stressful for her. I can’t help but want to think that she would have been sick, because if that were true, she would’ve wanted to run away.
Well, I’m not in the mood either.
I couldn’t be honestly happy about Utsunomiya coming to this house, and I don’t want Mio in our house either. Even if we are friends, I don’t want to see Mio in this house, who is called “Mio-san” by Miyagi and who calls Miyagi “Shiori-chan”.
I would like to complain a hundred times about her coming to our house, but if I complain too much about her just coming to play, Mio might attack the parts of me that I don’t want to be attacked, so I have to allow her to come here.
「…Miyagi. Why don’t you call me Hazuki just for today?」
「I won’t call you.」
Miyagi answers without looking at me.
「Right… Then, what about me calling you Shiori?」
At least if one of them comes true.
I think that, but I know it will never come true.
「You don’t have to do that.」
As I expected.
If she’s going to tell me that she was jealous, how dare she say that to me, she should call me names and I should call her names, but really, Miyagi is not what I want it to be.
「I’ll stay in my room until Mio-san arrives.」
Miyagi blurts out and tries to stand up.
I let go of the Platypus’ hand and grab Miyagi’s arm.
「Wait for her here.」
Miyagi’s feelings were more inclined toward me than I had expected.
What a terrible thing to say to make me think, and yet to treat me so appropriately. If she doesn’t want to call me names or let me call her names, she should at least allow me to be by her side.
「Why?」
「Why, because it’s the same no matter where you wait.」
「It’s different.」
Miyagi says in an unusually sulky tone.
「…Is your mood bad?」
Miyagi’s voice came out low as she put strength into the hand that gripped her arm.
「It’s bad. So let go of my hand.」
「Sorry.」
I apologize, not knowing what I’m apologizing for, and let go of her arm, which is still in my grasp. Still wanting to touch her, I reach out to touch her, and she presses the platypus against me. I accept the fluffy tissue cover and place it next to Pen-chan on the bed.
I let out a small breath and look at Miyagi.
I’m not sure if I should reach out to her again.
Not knowing what to do, I called out to「Miyagi,」and she grabbed my blouse.
「…I’ll mark you.」
Miyagi says in a small voice and moves a little closer to me.
「It’s fine, but I don’t want Mio to see it.」
「Your button, unbutton it.」
My words, which should’ve been heard, weren’t answered. Repeating the same words at a time like this will not reach Miyagi, so I ask,「How many?」
「Everything.」
「Miyagi, you naughty.」
「Shut up. Be quiet and do what I say.」
「Okay, okay.」
I answer as if I have no choice, though I don’t intend to disobey and will obey when she asks me to take off my skirt as well. Then, without hesitation, I unbutton all the buttons from the top, one, two, three, and so on.
Miyagi’s hand reaches out and opens the front of my blouse wide, as it should.
Above the camisole, an unreserved glance pierces my chest.
Without saying anything, she places her hands on my breasts, which need not be touched if only to mark them. Then, as if to see if I would resist, she slowly moved her hand to trace the shape of my breast.
They are not directly touched.
There is a camisole and bra between her hands and my breasts.
Her hand is far away.
Still, my heart thumps.
I wish Mio didn’t come today.
If she get lost, my phone is out of charge, there is no one to ask for directions, and Mio doesn’t reach this house forever, I can lose the thing that separates me and Miyagi and have her touch me. If Miyagi doesn’t like that, I can push her over.
I grab Miyagi’s hand crawling on my chest.
She looks up.
Her hand doesn’t run away from me.
Miyagi’s face comes closer, her lips pressed a little below the collarbone. Her body heat warms my skin and melts into my blood, sucking hard. I run my fingers through her hair, which smells just like mine, and comb it. Her lips part and then stick together again, sucking.
Even if I can’t see it, I know it.
There is a clear mark on my skin indicating that I belong to Miyagi.
She grabs me by the side over my camisole.
She squeezed me tightly, and as I hugged Miyagi in response, I heard a voice from within my arms.
「What time is it now?」
「It doesn’t matter what time it is.」
「It’s not fine.」
Miyagi pushes me and says again,「What time?」
I let go of the body I just hugged and take my phone from the table to look at the screen.
「1:17 PM.」
As I mouthed what I saw in my eyes, my phone rang a ringtone and displayed a message from Mio.
「Mio, she said she was close by.」
「I knew she would come at a reasonable time.」
「Sorry. Can we continue after Mio left?」
I ask as I button up my blouse.
「There’s no continuation.」
Miyagi said in a grumpier voice than before.
