Act 2 - Summer Break
12-3
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.
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.
"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.)
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.
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 gently 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 preparing 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." (Rei)
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.
Needless to say, Rei's room and mine were built the same way.
And since I had visited 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 the 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?
"...... 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.
