I prepared dishes, chopsticks, etc.
Li Nai gives instructions in a polite tone, but with precision.
"When this is served, it's over."
I told him so and transferred what was simmering in the pan to a plate by Li Nai.
I asked you a question. [M]
"... When Lina enters school, I'm graduating, though?
"Still, that's okay"
With a big pot-grabbing hand, Lina points to me.
"I just wanted to go to the high school that Okaya attends... and I want to be closer to you because of that."
Which is cute to say.
Is Lina talking about this in a natural way?
Or is there something to aim for?
"Shall we eat?
Lina slapped her hand while grabbing the pot.
Boom. And the creaking noise echoes in the kitchen.
"Well, thank you, Senior Okaya"
When I got to the table lined up with dishes, Oki took the head.
Lina also sits in her seat and the three of us eat dinner.
The topic remained secular at the beginning.
I don't know about that entertainer or the sportsman.
It's all I'll forget tomorrow.
At the end of the meal, Oki started cleaning it up.
The division of roles seems solid.
The food is Lina, and the cleanup is Oki.
Other cleaning is Lina, laundry is Oki.
Until recently, Ogi did nothing, so Lina said she was in charge of the household chores in general.
"Do you have any recommended books or anything?
And Lina asked me a question.
I was sitting next to the couch right now.
I'm turning on the TV, but I'm not watching it.
Li Nai's exposed thighs were touching my feet.
Shoulders and shoulders are also a sense of distance to bump when moving.
"Ah... uh, right..."
"Because I don't really read books. I'd like to read it if you have any recommendations."
"Well, then... how about this?
I left Lina and fled to my bag. [M]
Otherwise my heart will explode.
I took a book out of my bag that I had just finished reading.
When I take it, Li Nai sees the cover.
"" Whispering, It's a Miracle "... the author is" Haika Umehara "... What kind of novel is it?
"It's a youth novel."
"You read that, too"
And, Lina sees the author introduction section.
"Huh? Are you an active college student writer?
"Yes, yes. That's the second one, and the first one came out in high school, and we talked about it."
"May I borrow it?
"Fine."
Li Na left the living room when she grabbed the book looking important.
I think I went to leave a book in my room because I heard a climb up the stairs.
Oki came to the living room after cleaning up and laughed.
"I'm sorry about something"
"What?
"I think I like Li Na's senior."
"Oh... I don't feel bad"
"Ever since, I've been thanking you for being so loud."
I didn't do anything to thank you.
But Lina said that when she went to that mountain.
I guess he's a kid who keeps his word to discipline.
Lina came back to the living room.
On that occasion I stood up and took the bag.
"Then I'll go home. Oki, thanks for the book. Lina, the food was really good."
"Huh? Are you leaving already?
Li Nai looks at me so lonely.
What is this little animal? I think I'll bring it home.
Senior Okaya is a busy man.
Where's the information, that?
I'm basically free.
But being in a man's house for a long time is also disgraceful.
Plus I wanted to keep my physical review while my memory was fresh yesterday.
"Ah, then... I'll drive you to the station!
"Fine, nothing."
"Fine, fine."
And I was almost forced to send it to me by Lina.
In the front door, Oki thanked me again.
Go outside. Well, the unique humidity of summer hits a cooler, cooler body.
"It's hot..."
With that twinkle, Lina walks out.
I lined up next to Lina.
After a short walk, I stepped out in front of Bridgepack High School.
I was going from there to the bus stop.
"Oh, would you like to walk to the station?
It's quite hot.
Plus, I'm worried about Li Nai on her way home.
When I said that, I thought about it and then suggested it.
"Then can't you do it somewhere?
"Somewhere?
"Right......"
And Li Nai shook my hand after thinking about it.
"This way."
And walk out.
I was held in Lina's hand by surprise. [M]
He was a girly hand with tiny hands.
If you grip it hard, it's going to break.
Lena leaves Bridge High School without hesitation.
I've been going around here for over a year, but Li Nai is local.
Through the enclosed residential neighborhood, he went out into a rather large park.
"There was a place like this..."
The athletic field was with us, where the boys as young as elementary school were playing football.
Pass next to that athletic field with Li Nai holding hands.
Then he went out onto the forest road, through which an artificial river was flowing.
A little kid puts his foot on the river and is shaking.
"It's cool in here."
and Lina sat in one of the rocks that went behind and formed the river.
And when I take off my shoes, I also take off my socks and get barefoot.
"This is how you put your foot on the river."
Li Na put her barefoot on the river.
I got barefoot just as I sat next to Lina.
Then he turned his uniform trousers to his knees and put his foot on the river.
The water on the river was cold and felt so good.
"Feeling bad."
"Like."
Li Na sits next to me almost closely. [M]
The trees were just hiding us from the people in the park.
The voices of the hearing children are far away.
There was wind, and the heat was gone.
"So, what?
"I don't know... I want to be with you..."
Linna-chan twinkles while looking at the river surface.
Then he moves his bare feet on the river and hits me on the foot.
"Phew..."
And Li Nai looked at me as she exhaled longer.
"Okaya-san, do you have someone you're seeing?
