Act 2 - Summer Break

 

12-3

 

 

In the end, Rei's shopping lasted more than an hour.

As expected, my arm is no longer enough to hold her belongings from the middle, and Rei has also one of her arms fully occupied.

However, she looks very satisfied.

 

That being said, while Rei is paying, I look at the price tags on the other clothes. Needless to say......, there are prices on them that someone like me would never be able to afford.

 

"My shopping is done. Next, it's Rintaro's turn." (Rei)

"Yea. I'm just going to buy one appropriate swimsuit......." (Rintaro)

 

This is summer, and several stores are having swimsuit sales.

It'll be fine if I can buy one of the cheapest ones I can find.

 

"Then, can I pick one out for you?" (Rei)

"Sure, but......no boomerang pants or anything like that." (Rintaro)

"Rest assured. I will have you show me in private. I won't let you wear it outside." (Rei)

"I ain't even gonna show it to you, okay?" (Rintaro)

 

I imagine myself wearing boomerang pants, and I start to feel nauseous.

Yeah, I'll absolutely never do it.

 

"Just pick the coolest one you can normally find....... the cheapest one possible." (Rintaro)

"Ummm......... I understand." (Rei)

"Why do you look so disappointed?" (Rintaro)

 

I don't understand this girl.

Well, if she says she'll help me choose one, I'll take her word for it.

 

We move to the swimsuit section and compare the men's swimsuits that are placed side by side.

――――Any of them is fine.

 

"Rintaro, how about this?" (Rei)

"Hmm?" (Rintaro)

After we had finished our bubble tea and had a light lunch, we boarded the bus.

As the bus rocked us along, we looked at the scenery outside without having any conversation.

This is the usual pattern when Rei and I are alone. There is no conversation, and we each do what we want to do.

Rei has her earphones plugged into her phone and is listening to music.

On the screen is the name of an unfamiliar MilleSta's song, presumably a new song the girls are currently practicing.

Her attitude of engaging in practice as soon as she has time is a likable earnestness to me.

 

I often hear opinions on the pros and cons of fiddling with one's phone while on a date, but as for me, I don't care if she does something else while we are together.

I can understand why people find it boring or something, but this is not the case with Rei.

 

Both Rei and I like this kind of time.

 

"Wh-what are you talking about?" (Rintaro)

The words that had been popping into my head flew straight out of my mouth.

Rei was looking at the swimsuits lined up in front of her, and declared as if it was nothing.

 

"If Rintaro went to the trouble of buying a swimsuit, I'd like to be the very first one to see it." (Rei)

"Ummm...... I don't really understand when you put it that way." (Rintaro)

"It's a matter of feelings, so it's hard to explain. In other words, I'm going to wear a swimsuit, so I want Rintaro to put on a swimsuit and take a bath with me." (Rei)

 

I have no idea what that means.

Rei picks up two pieces of the appropriate swimsuit and brings each one to the front of her body.

 

"Rintaro, which one do you prefer?" (Rei)

"E-ee......?" (Rintaro)

 

Puzzled, I compare the two swimsuits.

A sense of distance, as if the other person is part of your world and you don't have to pay attention to them. It is truly rare to find someone with whom you can feel this sense of distance.

Aside from her, Inaba Yukio is the only other person who can feel that kind of distance.

I strongly feel that I want to cherish these people.

 

"......Rintaro." (Rei)

"Hmm?" (Rintaro)

 

Suddenly, I hear my name called and turn my head toward her.

Rei takes off her earphones and looks me in the eye.

 

"Do you hate it when I say that you are my boyfriend?" (Rei)

"What's that, all of a sudden?" (Rintaro)

"I'm just...... curious." (Rei)

 

Rei looks away with a somewhat dismayed expression on her face.

I know how it feels to be concerned. I think I had the same look on my face when I addressed Rei as "girlfriend" at the aquarium, even if it was a lie.

That's why I'm borrowing the words that Rei said to me back then.

 

"It's okay. I didn't mind." (Rintaro)

"Ah......." (Rei)

 

I give a big grin and Rei narrows the corners of her eyes, as if relieved.

 

Needless to say, Rei's room and mine were built the same way.

And since I had visited the hers several times for cleaning, there's not a millimeter of novelty in this room.

 

"I haven't been back much lately, but it's still beautifully clean." (Rintaro)

"Yup. No room for dirt." (Rei)

 

The scenery of the room had hardly changed since the last time I cleaned it.

There are only a few plastic bottles and juice cans on the table, but nothing that gives the impression of clutter.

This is not surprising since I clean the room on a regular basis.

In fact, it is obvious that if I leave her alone, which she is catastrophically unfit to live alone, she will be buried in garbage.

 

"Where do you want to put your clothes?" (Rintaro)

"Ah, preferably in the wardrobe." (Rei)

"Okay." (Rintaro)

 

I open the wardrobe in the bedroom and carefully put the clothes in it. Of course, I take off the price tags.

 

"And, it's done." (Rintaro)

"Thank you, for all you've done." (Rei)

"Don't worry about it. After all, I am your boyfriend today. I will listen to what my girlfriend wishes." (Rintaro)

 

Just kiddin'――――.

 

When I joked about it, she looked more contemplative than I had expected.

I just rubbed a little bit of what we talked about on the bus, but did I do something wrong?

 

"Hello~ I am Bujangga from pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id, Yoroshiku!"

At a certain time, there are creatures that walk by two feet. These creatures can be divided into two by gender. These creatures are surprisingly able to pick something using things called hands.

And on a certain day, two of these creatures meet.

 

"Halloo~ I am Furujakka, ndesu! Nice to meet you!"

"Y, yes. Nice to meet you too, I am Fuurawan."

"Fuurawan-chan ka? Ii no namae."

"S, sangkyu."

 

The two greet each other due of their faces are facing each other.

They speak, breathe, blink, sweat, and so.

And after a long time passes,

 

"!?"
"Kyaa~ Furujakka-kyun."
"Daijoubu ka? Fuurawan-chan."

"D, daijoubu... desu."

"Mmm."

"Doushita no?"

"Fuurawan-chan no kaori, suuuuggoku WANGY, hmmmmmppppsshhh ahhhh wangyyyy."

"Mou~ Furujakka-kyun no eeccchi~."

 

On a certain day, these two meet and have lunch because they are hungry.

The boy orders fried rice while the girl orders a serve of seasoned rice being processed by frying.

For the drinks, the boy orders hot chocolate while the girl orders a cup of chocolate that has not been cold yet.

They eat their food.

They also feed some spoons with each other.

They then having a leisure exchange.

 

"Ikehh, yaru?"

"Damee~"

"IkehhHH!"

"..."

"Ikeh, tanoshii, kimochii, ore, ganbarimasu!!!"

"Mouu~"

"Dame ka?"

"..."

"Dame nanoka."

"Ee, haayaakuuu~"

 

The two of them are having exercise, training, and workout, then.

When they finished, then they restarted.

And when they finished, the boy pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the girl who asked the third.

And when they finished, the boy once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the girl also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

 

◆◆◆

 

On the other occasion,

On a day that is not a night.

That day the sun is shining brightly because it's a day and 12:00 o'clock.

The day is bright and the sun has not been set yet.

The breeze can be felt due to the air is flowing.

As he is breathing, a certain boy is approaching a girl.

 

"Yaa, kitten-chan, can I have your namae?"

"S, su, suteki~. Ah, hai. Fuurawan desu."

"Fuurawan-chan, huh. What a kirei no namae. By the way, watashi no namae is Badz Zheengan. Watashi wa Son of a Beach. Watashi came from The Pangea Selatan. Diligent in setsuyaku. Ketsueki type is I, I for Ikkehmen. Watashi no hobby wa breathing. Yoroshiku."

"Yoroshiku, Badz Zheengan-san."

"Fuurawan-chan, watashi no yubi to kimi no chawan, let's have made karera meet and greet."

"Hai."

"Watashi-tachi will have much tanoshi."

 

They have a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok.

When they have done of their a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok, then they re-doing again.

When they finished again, the girl pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the boy who asked the third.

And when they finished, the girl once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the boy also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

 

◆◆◆

 

"Fuurawan-chaaannn!!! Ikanaide!!!!."

"Gomen ne, Furujakka-kun."

"Dameee, Fuurawan-chaannnn!!!"

"Sayonara, Furujakka-kun."

 

 

 

"Ima, ore wa, Furujakka wa, pemuda tuna asmara dearimasu."

 

Who can stand to endure this situation

Who doesn't feel the loss

You leave me when I'm so in love

When I'm crazily in love

you choose another guy

 

Who can stand being dumped

Whose heart not hurt

The memories that have been passed

I keep it deep inside my heart

We are not one anymore

 

It's alright, I'll get through the days strong-heartedly

My wish is only one, be safe and sound

I can only be able to harbor this, from day to night

Because I know I'm just nobody

 

It's alright, I'll harbor this feeling inside my heart

I'll keep wish you live well

All I can do is hope you won't regret

Goodbye and thank you

 

"AWOKWOKAOWKOKAOKWKAOWKOAKOK!!!"

 

How should I explain this to my parents

We had gone through this long

But ended up breaking up

You are tempted by another guy's love

 

You yourself had been declared it

Living our love until our old days

Won't two-timing, I'm the only one for you

But now there's another guy inside your heart

 

It's as if the morning is cloudy

Then the day is rainy

In the afternoon you hurt me

And in the night I cry for you

 

I can only imagine

All of those had been just memories now

I rode you back, went through the way

Hugging under the rain

But now you are choosing

To be hugged by another guy

 

Do you not sense

How heavy-heartedly I am

Have to lost my loved one

Don't wanna leave my house

I have no appetite

If I'm not fed

"...... Then, will you listen to my request today?" (Rei)

"Pardon?" (Rintaro)

"I have one thing, I sincerely want you to listen to." (Rei)

 

――――Yep, I have a bad feeling about this.

"Besides, I think that was the right thing to do in that situation. With people like them, you can't say things that will drag on and on. They will come at you more aggressively, looking for a chance. The best thing to do is to speak clearly to them so that they don't come at you." (Rintaro)

"Mm. I'll be sure to be clear next time." (Rei)

"That's wise. I mean, you're an idol and you're going to get picked up? I feel like it would be moderately reckless to try to talk to a celebrity." (Rintaro)

"Surprisingly, some people approach me. Some people don't even notice that I'm "REI", but others do notice and approach me. I think they expect me to be an easy target because I am still in high school." (Rei)

 

While she's a minor, it is inevitable that she has to listen to adults, and there are, well, a lot of people who try to take advantage of that part of her.

If you don't try to know her well, she's just a successful girl on a cloud. But in reality, she's an extraordinary hardworking person who has made a lot of effort and overcomes a lot of difficulties.

That is why I respect her but do not yearn for her.

 

"I guess it's not as easy as people think to be beautiful and pretty." (Rintaro)

"I'm happy Rintaro calls me beautiful and pretty." (Rei)

"You feel so. Then, I'll say it as many times as you want for 100 yen a time." (Rintaro)

"If I pay you 100,000 yen, how many times will you say it?" (Rei)

"......One thousand times?" (Rintaro)

"Deal then." (Rei)

"That's a lie. I don't need money." (Rintaro)

"So you'd say it for free?" (Rei)

"Only if I feel it from the bottom of my heart." (Rintaro)

"Then I'll do my best." (Rei)

"Then do so." (Rintaro)

 

While saying that, when the time comes to say it, I'm sure I'll be embarrassed. But now that I've made the declaration, I should probably get my act together.

It is my role now to fulfill Otosaki Rei's expectations.

 

"Mm... I'm getting, a little sleepy." (Rei)

"Eh?" (Rintaro)

 

A modest weight rest on my shoulders.

I gulp at the sight of her face, which is so close to mine.

She is a beautiful girl in every way. The shape of her face alone is worth more than a work of art.

 

"Kanon told me. Rintaro's shoulder can be borrowed for up to five minutes." (Rei)

"What the hell is that lass informing......" (Rintaro)

 

That's an account of when I heard about Kanon's weakness. I did indeed lend her a shoulder to lean on for five minutes.

It's nothing to hide, but for some reason, I feel a little awkward.

 

"Hey, Rintaro." (Rei)

"What's it?" (Rintaro)

"How many minutes would you lend me?" (Rei)

"......You're sleepy, right? Then I'll lend you until we get to the station. Just another twenty minutes or so." (Rintaro)

"I see...... That's fine...... for now." (Rei)

 

Rei's voice gradually trails off and eventually turns into a sleeping breath.

Seeing her snuggle up to me, sleeping comfortably, I inwardly hold my head in my hands.

 

(I told you...... you're too defenseless.)

 

A sense of distance, as if the other person is part of your world and you don't have to pay attention to them. It is truly rare to find someone with whom you can feel this sense of distance.

Aside from her, Inaba Yukio is the only other person who can feel that kind of distance.

I strongly feel that I want to cherish these people.

 

"......Rintaro." (Rei)

"Hmm?" (Rintaro)

 

Suddenly, I hear my name called and turn my head toward her.

Otosaki Rei is in a position where I can touch her if I want to.

She has beautiful skin without a single blemish or pimple, and long eyelashes. Her face is beautifully sculpted, with no flaws to be found. She is also very Japanese in style, with a hint of cleavage peeking out, even though she is not wearing a dress with an open chest. If they are this big, it's probably inevitable that this happens. No doubt.

 

Suddenly the bus stops and a new passenger gets on from the bus stop.

~"(This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there!!!)"~

The man, who is left standing as there are no seats available, probably unconsciously glanced at the chest of the sleeping Rei.

 

Immediately, a burning sense of disgust rises from the depths of my heart.

 

I take out a handkerchief from my pants pocket and drape it over Rei's chest.

It is the handkerchief I had used to wipe my hands after removing the stain from my clothes earlier, but I can't afford to worry about that.

The man, who thus could no longer look at her chest, turns away, somewhat dissatisfied and trying not to let me know it.

 

I don't blame him. I, too, once followed my male instincts and looked at hers. At least I have no right to blame him.

But even though I thought so, I couldn't allow him to do so freely.

 

"Let me monopolize her at least at a time like this......." (Rintaro)

 

I mumbled, so that the man cannot hear me.

 

――――Twitch, and I feel like Rei moved.

 

I pretend not to notice it and look out the window again.

The sky today, for some reason, is a deep blue, clearly indicating that it is summer.

 

 

◇◆◇

 

 

"C'mon, Rei. Wake up." (Rintaro)

"Nn......hmmm." (Rei)

 

I shake Rei's head on my shoulder with a gentle shake.

Still sleepy, she glances around, then looks at me.

 

"......Where's?" (Rei)

"We're on the bus. Look, we're almost at the station, so get straightened up."

"Mmm...... Ah, so that's it." (Rei)

 

Rei, who has awakened to consciousness around here, swallows the situation and grabs her luggage.

I do the same, holding a paper bag full of clothes in both hands, and prepare to get off the bus.

A few moments after pressing the "get off" button, we arrive at the bus stop in front of the station and get off the bus hurriedly.

 

"We're back in front of the station, do you want to do any other shopping?" (Rei)

"No, we can't carry more than this, so let's just go home. I've stocked up on groceries so I don't have to go out as much as possible." (Rintaro)

"Mmm, that's very wise in this heat." 

 

We manage to make it back to the apartment, suffering from the heated asphalt.

First, we have to go into Rei's room to put the luggage down.

I accompany Rei as she unlocks the door to her room and we enter through the front door.

 

I don't blame him. I, too, once followed my male instincts and looked at hers. At least I have no right to blame him.

But even though I thought so, I couldn't allow him to do so freely.

 

"Let me monopolize her at least at a time like this......." (Rintaro)
