"Then it's time to end it -!

About two hours later, Awards spoke out and told everyone that it was over.

I ordered my own food except all-you-can-drink, so I had to settle for each table.

"Why don't we pay our table together because it's annoying to take it apart"

"Right, I think that would be better."

As soon as I spoke, Mr. Charlotte gave me her consent.

... In the end this kid didn't let go of my clothes sleeve until after the welcome party...

"Yes, yes, Aoyagi, what's your treat?

As I turned my gaze to Mr. Charlotte, the girl sitting in front of me raised her hand and said, "Go away."

"Give me a break. Exactly. We can't have this number."

"Ha ha. Then next time it's just the two of us. Let's go to Karaoke together after this."

He asked me unexpectedly and honestly - and somehow I was invited to play.

"Wait, wait, wait! Then I want to go play too!

"Me too!

Before I opened my mouth, I started making claims that I was going too with my hands up like a girl on both sides panicked.

What the hell is that?

You don't play that much enough?

"Uh, I just want to play with you two?

"You lose friends when you do that all the time, don't you?

"Really!

Even while they're confused, the girls start talking.

Nothing, I don't mind going to see him today because I don't have any plans...

I'm just gonna go hang out with the girls I'm not very close to......

Want me to invite you to an award?

"- Wow, me too...! Oh, but I have to pick up Emma... If I'm too alone in someone I don't know, she'll cry..."

Thinking about what to do, Mr. Charlotte was watching us like he was one of us.

But it seems bad that it's time to pick up Emma, and she's got one.

She's the same high school girl I am, and I guess she really wants to still play.

I don't think Mr. Charlotte hates parenting, but I felt a little sorry for him.

Especially if it's not a good idea to be out of company on this occasion.

Hmmm......

"Sorry, I have a part-time job after this. That's why I can't go play."

After thinking about how turning it down doesn't stand the corner, he made me use the byte as an excuse.

The truth is, I'm off part-time tutoring today, but I can't be sure of the truth for them.

"Oh, Aoyagi, are you working part-time? What the hell?

But even though I thought I'd be done talking here already, it got me interested with regard to part-time work.

Really, don't be gooey today for some reason......

"- Yes, yes, it's bad where it's buzzing, but after that, it's just the table here, right? I need you to start accounting for me."

It was obvious that explaining the tutor's part-time job would be difficult, so I managed to mislead him, but Zhang entered the room in good time before I opened my mouth.

Thanks to this, the girls' interest shifts from my part-time job to accounting.

Everyone hurried to take out their wallets and gave them money for what they had eaten.

I'll take it to the cashier on my behalf.

Then, for some reason, the award also followed me.

"What's up?

"... no, can we talk after this for a second? You don't have a part-time job today, do you?

Should I say that we've been dating for a long time, the award seems to find out that my statement earlier was a lie.

I guess because you know I won't be putting in a part-time job one day.

Maybe you came in between earlier, and you gave me a rescue boat because you knew I'd have trouble responding.

... but more than that, I've been prejudging that I need to talk on purpose.

When Chang and I talk, I rarely make such a prerequisite.

That's about when we need to talk about something important.

He was originally suspicious of the award, and maybe he was convinced he was talking to Mr. Charlotte today...

A little, maybe you should be ready.

- After that, when I finished accounting immediately, I thanked the manager for today.

The manager was a very sweet and nice person, and he told me that he wanted us to come back without any anger.

It's something the world doesn't know that such a fine adult is Dr. Meiyu's friend.

"Aoyagi..."

Returning to the table to pick up his luggage, Mr. Charlotte called his name with a troubled look on his face.

Was there even some kind of trouble?

"What's wrong?

"Er... are you glad...? The truth is, after this today, you don't plan...? I didn't turn you down because I cared."

"You don't have to worry. Mr. Charlotte has nothing to do with this because I made my own decision."

I smiled and shook my neck sideways to Mr. Charlotte, who I had heard in a small voice so everyone wouldn't hear me.

I wasn't surprised to find out that my part-time job was a lie because I had told her that I had no plans.

But she seems smart and sharp enough to know how I turned her down.

Nevertheless, I was the one who made the decision in the end, and I haven't even consulted Mr. Charlotte.

Yet to say you stopped going to play for her would be a little tyrannical.

"... you're good friends..."

"- Huh!?"

I was surprised when I was suddenly called from behind.

I turned around in a hurry and Mr. Dongyun was looking up at my face right beside me.

Because I have a better height difference standing than when I was sitting, or now I can see her eyes - honestly, I'm surprised.

But now would not be the time to be surprised by Mr. Dongyun's face.

"And Mr. Dongyun? How long have you been there?

"Huh...? Earlier, I was there...?

"Oh, yeah..."

Apparently she didn't come behind me later, she was behind me and I just didn't notice.

Though the shadow was thin, I did something sorry.

"Are you two... friendly...?

You don't care that they didn't notice you existed, you asked me as I looked at Mr. Charlotte's face alternately.

I don't think you're blaming me, I feel interested.

"Well, you're my classmate"

"... because I'm a classmate... I was grabbing my clothes sleeves...?

Mr. Dongyun purely asks, leaning his neck all the time.

Seemed to have noticed that Mr. Charlotte was grabbing my clothes sleeve.

Well, I'm sitting next to you, so naturally...

Nevertheless, don't talk uncommonly often......

... Speaking of which, this kid used to talk if he liked the topic.

Apparently, Mr. Dongyun is intrigued by this story.

Fortunately, you haven't heard anything but me and Mr. Charlotte because of her low voice?

Was it embarrassing for Mr. Charlotte to be seen just as childish, too, making her face red and lean over?

"Oh... uh... keep it to yourself from the others...?

I thought it would be useless to deceive you. I decided to negotiate to keep it to myself.

In this kid's case, I definitely think you should ask him to be honest.

I was in the same class for six months at a time, so I didn't have to talk to her, so I realized she was a sweetheart.

"This..."

When you hear my words, for some reason, Mr. Dongyun offers you his own smartphone.

No way... you're taking a picture and you want me to use it to threaten you...?

"Contact information… I want to exchange…. With Mr. Bennett..."

............... I suspect for a moment that I am quite sorry.

She just seemed to want to exchange contacts.

Normally, because of the temper, I am not able to speak well with my friends.

And yet for some reason now I can only talk a little properly, so I guess I wanted to exchange contacts.

Me and Mr. Charlotte took out the smartphone and told Mr. Dongyun our own ID for the chat app.

"Eh heh... first time, friend..."

Then Mr. Dongyun laughed with great pleasure, but her heart was very broken by the words she muttered.

Did Mr. Charlotte have the same feelings as me, tears and looks at Mr. Dongyun?

- We both vowed to try to talk more to Mr. Dongyun from now on.
