    • Episode 179: A Shocking Conversation

      Episode 179: A Shocking Conversation Cover
      by akacha Now, is it about time for the call? While I was getting ready for my next job, I checked the clock. Before I knew it, it was around the same time as yesterday. If the timing's the same, I think it should be soon... Pi-roro, pi-roro... Instead of a regular call, a RAIN call rang out. Since it's the same as yesterday, I figured it'd be a video call, and checking the screen confirmed it. When I hit accept, my precious Sara-san appeared on the screen. Seeing her for the first time in a full day…

      Episode 178: Day Two of the Job Cover
      by akacha I received word that Masaomi-san couldn't pick me up because of work, so Mayumi-san ended up coming instead. I told her I could walk, but she insisted,「I'm coming to pick you up~」so I really had no choice but to wait quietly. Once I got home, I finished changing, washed my bento box, and put it in my bag to get ready. Well, getting ready mostly just meant changing clothes. While I was waiting by the road in front of the apartment, aimlessly watching the cars pass by, I eventually spotted a…

      Episode 177: What’s Up with Yuji and Natsumi-senpai? Cover
      by akacha Beep... beep... beep... I don't hear Sara-san's gentle voice. I don't hear the sound of the knife against the cutting board. The inorganic alarm from my smartphone blared, forcibly dragging my consciousness awake. Good morning. I gave a morning greeting to the Sara-san who wasn't here. When I picked up my phone, there was a message on RAIN. 「Good morning, Kazunari-san. Please make sure to eat a proper breakfast. You mustn't skip it just because it's a hassle, okay? I am looking forward…

      Episode 176: Girl Talk Cover
      by akacha Sara, completely unaware of the stunned state of the three girls, continued her conversation with Takanashi-kun as if everything were normal. 「Kazunari-san, did you eat a proper dinner? Cup ramen is a no-no, okay.」 Thump, thump, thump!! The three girls who had been sitting on the bed tumbled onto the floor in perfect synchronization. Their reaction was like a comedy trio, quite amusing to watch. 「Wai, wait, wait...」 「She said no-no... she just said no-no, right? You've gotta be…

      Episode 175: At the Hotel Cover
      by akacha 「Haa... dinner was so good~」 「I might have eaten a bit too much...」 「Heheh, pfft, a total victory for me for pacing myself in preparation for the fun time later!」 Victory... I wonder what kind of competition they think they're in. Dinner was over, and since we still had a bit of time before our bath, we’d returned to our room. Naturally, these three had come crashing into our room along with us. Since it’s a three person room, the group inevitably has to split into two at the…

      Episode 174: Sara POV Cover
      by akacha The time goes back a little, right after the bus departed. 「Have a good trip!!」 The faint sound of Kazunari-san's voice and his smile, which hid a lingering loneliness, pulled at my heart. I couldn't tear myself away from the window for a long time. For one week starting today, I cannot see Kazunari-san, I cannot take care of him, I cannot touch him... I cannot even hold him. However, so as not to waste the feelings of Kazunari-san, who sent me off with all the brightness he could…

      Episode 173: The Phone Call Cover
      by akacha Even if I thought,「What should I do...」there was no way I could say,「Actually, never mind,」to something that was already decided. Wait, it’s not like I actually hated the idea. If anything, I was actually happy. So why was I so troubled over what to do? It all started like this. 「Dear, it sounds like Takanashi-san is heading straight to his next part time job from here.」 「Eh, right now? Then what about your dinner? You live alone, don’t you?」 「No, I’ll just grab…

      Episode 172: A Happily Married Couple Cover
      by akacha Finally getting to work, I immediately started sorting the papers while checking the department names written on them. Even in the same department, the section names were different, so sorting them carefully took a surprising amount of effort. Just like in the Student Council, I'll start by categorizing them into broad groups first. Mayumi-san had left some classical music playing as BGM before she left, so it was a pretty elegant work session (though I have no clue what the song titles…

      Episode 171: Mayumi-san In Top Form Cover
      by akacha 「I'm so sorry, keeping you standing around talking in a place like this. Come on, come in. I'll get some tea ready.」 Mayumi-san said just that, radiating a cheerful mood as she pitter-pattered away in her slippers toward the back of the house. Probably heading for the kitchen. I followed Masaomi-san into the house and sat on the sofa to wait for Mayumi-san, just like last time. After Mayumi-san brought the tea and I finished introducing myself again, the conversation reached a stopping point,…

      Episode 170: Father Cover
      by akacha 「Kazunari!」 「Hello, Takanashi-kun.」 Lunch break started, and as I was thinking about where to eat, someone called out to me. Looking toward the voice, I saw Todo-san waving a little from the classroom entrance, with Hayato standing beside her. As the two of them walked into the room, the usual flurry of girls' voices directed at Hayato was quieter than normal. Scanning the room, it felt like everyone was sizing up Todo-san, wondering who she was or judging her for being with…
