13 – Did you know that the voice you hear over the phone isn’t real?

That night.

I was wasting time on the computer when my phone started to whine.

Who is calling at this hour? With that question in mind, I turned my gaze to my phone.

The name on the screen is Yuina.

“Huh.”

Unbeknownst to me, an empty laugh burst out.

“Hello?”

“Whoops. Hi?”

When I answered the phone, I heard Inna’s soft voice through her cell phone.

“Why are you calling all of a sudden?”

“Didn’t I tell you today? She threw out the third question, so I’ll give you another hint instead.”

“So you called?”

“Right.”

Is that so?

I almost knew it would be like that. Whatever the hint was, she didn’t say much until Ina, who was making a lot of noise, went home from school. I heard the suspicion that she was plotting a ulterior motive.

“There.”

Ina let out a gasp and then went on to say behind her back.

“You rarely make phone calls these days, right?”

“I don’t think so.”

The majority of people these days use KakaoTalk even if they have something to say. She also has to call or text, but rarely did she bother talking to her friends.

“So I thought it would be fun to call like this.”

“After all, I called to have fun.”

“You will have fun too. Besides, an opportunity like this is rare, right? How many men in the world can I call?”

“Is that so?”

To have such an honorable opportunity, I’m terrified.

But that’s okay. The conversation is usually boring enough. If you just close your eyes during a conversation, isn’t it different from a phone call?

“And there are things you only find out while on the phone.”

As if reading his mind, Ina added a word.

“What is it?”

“Did you know that the voice you hear over the phone is different from the real one?”

I remember hearing about it one day. The sound changes somewhat as it passes through the machine. The tone or volume of your voice that is different from when you usually speak will also have an effect.

“You can only find out about the voice on the phone. How is it? Yes?”

“Well, that’s not true.”

I don’t know what to use it for.

Coming to think of it, Ina’s voice was also different from hearing it in person. In addition, it seemed to ring a little, and somehow I thought I could hear the sound of rain. It’s not raining, so why can I hear the sound of rain?

Huh? Sounds of rain?

“Maybe you.”

“Yes.”

“Are you taking a shower?”

At my question, Ina paused for a while before answering with a smile on her face.

“Correct answer!”

“Quit.”

“Now, wait a minute. It was a joke.”

Ina hurriedly added.

“I just finished taking a shower. Right now I’m just talking on the phone with the water running.”

“For what the hell?”

“Imagine myself taking a shower?”

“Quit.”

“Oh wait!”

Ina stopped me again and smiled and said, “I’m sorry.” There is no apologetic sign in her voice or tone. At least the sound of the water has stopped, so the joke seems to have stopped.

Come back to this topic.

“As you said, the voice on the phone is a bit different.”

“Really?”

What should I say about Ina’s voice on the phone? I’d say it’s a little bewitching. Is it a voice that tickles the ears?

As time is time, you can feel the sleepy energy, and even the sound of breathing is mixed with it. He even heard the illusion that Niina was blowing her own breath into her ear as he let out a voice like this in her ear.

“Would you like to turn this into a video call?”

So she casually proposed.

“Hey, video call?”

“Yes. I can’t get used to the voice. I thought it would be better if we talked face to face.”

“Ummm… ….”

Ina made an unusually embarrassed voice. After that she was silent for a while.

“Hey, I just washed up…… Showing you now is a little…….”

She muttered in a crawling voice.

Uh, no. Wait for a sec. What did I say?

“Sorry. Forget what you just said.”

Now that I’ve said it, I think I made a very embarrassing proposal. It was as if she said she wanted to see Ina’s face. Shame came to her later.

Ina said ahahahaha and gave a small smile.

“If you hang up instead, I will take a picture and send it to you.”

“No need. It is of no use whatsoever.”

“Really? Are you really not going to use it?”

“Where do you mean use it?”

I don’t know, but she just decided not to know.

Ina let out a sound as she stretched her body.

“What were you doing?”

“Computer.”

“What did you do with the computer?”

“Nothing. I thought I’d turn it off and do some homework.”

“What subjects?”

“Mathematics.”

“Ah~ that one?”

A few minutes after she started talking. At last, normal small talk came and went. It’s just shocking.

“What were you doing?”

“Me? Shower.”

“Oh, well, what. It did.”

“By the way, I’m the type to wash my hair first. Please refer to it when imagining.”

“I would never imagine.”

In the first place, when imagining someone else’s shower scene, do we need to worry about historical evidence?

“I was about to go to sleep after taking a shower, but it suddenly came to my mind. That’s why I called.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So, please think of me before you go to bed.”

“Who do you like?”

“Because life is plus minus zero.”

“Now you really stick it anywhere.”

“Is that so~?”

No way. Well, aside from Ina’s violent behavior, I also thought of Ina from time to time before going to bed. Mostly by reminiscing about the pranks that happened that day.

“And for some reason I wanted to hear a human voice.”

I was lost in my thoughts, but Ina said quietly.

I want to hear people’s voices.

“Have your parents not come yet?”

“Yes. Originally, it was time for one person to come. You must be busy today.”

“Then are you home alone?”

“There is a clam.”

Even if I was Ina, I wouldn’t have the ability to have a conversation with a dog. It is almost 10 o’clock now. Are you alone at home at this hour?

“Are you okay?”

“Ahahahaha. Are you okay?”

Ina answered in a soft tone.

“You don’t have to worry so much. It was always like this when both of you were busy. It can be said that I am used to it.”

There was no hint of a lie in Ina’s voice. To say that she was used to it was not a pretense.

But is that so? Getting used to being alone isn’t always a good thing.

My parents are in my house, and I am at school now, but I also have an older sister. When I feel lonely, I talk to my family. Just having other people listen to my story made me feel quite comfortable.

…… Hmm.

“Sometimes.”

“Huh?”

“Sometimes. You can call me.”

So I said this without thinking.

But it was never meant as a joke or a greeting.

From the other side of the cell phone, not a single sound of breathing comes back.

How many seconds passed in that state? Ina said in a voice full of laughter.

“Isn’t it okay to call in the first place?”

“Oh, what. It’s not like that.”

He scratched his forehead and made excuses.

“Am I making a bet with you? There may be something to be gained by talking like this. So it’s a vicious declaration that I’ll call you every once in a while to get information about you.”

“Ahahahaha. I see You are a bad man~”

Then, Ina said in a tone that seemed to be floating.

“You mean there are many things you want to know about me?”

“No, if you say so… ….”

“If you say that?”

Okay. When I try to attach excuses to excuses, the words just don’t come to mind.

“Well, let’s do something like that.”

After giving up and accepting it, Ina chuckled.

I ended up being made fun of again. Really, I can’t win against Ina. It’s even funny how I’m trying again despite knowing it.

“Then shall we discuss the rest the next time we call?”

After saying that, Ina let out a yawn. Maybe her battery has run out? There would be no reason for her to hold on to the discharged Inna.

“Yes. Good night.”

“Yes. Good night. I’ll call you again later.”

With Ina’s words, our first phone call came to an end.

After a while, Ina sent a picture of her.

Her immaculate skin, wet hair, and pajamas. It was a picture of Ina with half-closed eyes in her V shape.
