I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home.

"Yoshida Senpai, do you eat popcorn?"

"I don't know. I don't come to movie theaters in the first place."

"Well, it's a waste to be near!"

For some reason, I was with Mishima at a movie theater in front of the station.

I came across Mishima in front of the station and wondered why she was in such a place, but apparently she had come to a movie theater in front of the station to watch a movie.

According to what I heard, Mishima lives at a station that's about three times up from my nearest station. It was my first ear.

But if you live there, the nearest cinema may be this station.

"What is Yoshida Senpai doing? A place like this."

"I'm wandering without doing it"

The moment she answered, the eyes of Mishima shone, and if she noticed she was taken to a movie theater.

"Well, I've always wanted to watch this movie. But I couldn't quite break my holiday schedule into the movie. I finally came."

Mishima was standing in line to buy food while smiling without a smile. I have no plans to buy anything, but somehow she is standing next to Mishima.

"Which one do you watch?"

Asking while looking at the posters stuck on the wall, Mishima answered one hand while looking at the drink menu on the wall of the food counter.

"'Heavy man' is a movie"

"Geho"

I coughed.

A bit of laughter leaks into a title that expresses this morning's dream in a single word. It's like timing.

"Is that interesting?"

"No, I don't know because I haven't watched it."

"Is it interesting?"

"Hmm ..."

Mishima still glares at the drink menu with a frown.

"I don't know if it's an interesting movie, but I'm interested."

"Is that so"

By the way, I remembered that Kanda also liked movies.

Looking back, I feel like I've never been to a movie theater since I left that person.

When she saw the movie, she was silent for a few minutes. To be exact, until you leave the cinema. After the end of the end roll, the lights in the theater light up and go up silently and quickly leave the theater. I remember following in a hurry. When he left the cinema, he always said,

"Oh, it was fun."

I didn't know the quality of the movie. Of course, some movies seemed interesting. But, no matter how, I go to the movies simply because I wanted to date Senior Kanda.

I liked the profile of Kanda-senpai who looked at the distant sky after saying, "Oh, it was fun."

"Yoshida Senpai. Before, before."

When I noticed, the purchase line was a little advanced, and there was a gap for about two people between Mishima and me. When I looked back in a hurry, a few people looked at me like "Go fast." As he walked to the side of Mishima, Mishima raised his eyebrows.

"Are you nervous?"

"No, bad"

"Did you remember the old woman?"

Looking at Mishima, he was almost nervous.

"Easy to understand"

"No, don't remember."

"Yoshida-san had her, too."

After uttering a terrible rude, Mishima walked to the drink counter with a blank face.

"Ginger ale in large size. What about Yoshida Senpai?"

He asked me, of course, that she would drink, so I looked at the drink menu with a stupid voice saying, "Oh, eh."

"Ourong tea. The smallest one."

The staff, with a smile, read the order and walked to the server to pour a drink.

"Maybe you didn't ask?"

"No, it's good. You may be thirsty on the way."

Mishima replies, thinking that it is unusual to see my complexion. Well, in fact, I didn't want to order a drink, but it was me who did not immediately refuse to order. It would be wrong to blame Mishima.

"Oolong tea was a bit surprising."

Mishima shrugged.

"I'm thinking about beer"

"What kind of image do you have in you?"

When I bitterly laughed, Mishima smiled laughingly. Meanwhile, the staff returns to the counter with a drink.

"It will be 750 yen"

"Hey"

I took a thousand yen bill from my wallet and handed it to the staff. I received the change, and Mishima left the counter with a drink in both hands.

Looking at the watch, it seemed that there was still some time before the screening.

"Mishima, I want to go to the bathroom."

"Wait a minute, please wait"

Mishima stopped me from approaching the toilet. Mishima placed his drinks on a small, tall table in the lobby and took out his wallet. And I give out a 500 yen coin from inside and give it to me.

"It's my part"

"Oh, okay."

"That's okay, it's not another! Why does Yoshida Senpai pay for what I drink! I don't understand the meaning"

Mishima suddenly pushes a 500 yen coin into my chest. I received it because I was hurt.

"I was going to thank you for killing my time."

"I'm the one who went with the movie"

"But I didn't do it."

"It's okay, no matter what."

Mishima shook her head and stared at my eyes.

"I don't want to be treated by a man who is not my boyfriend."

Do you give your boyfriend a treat?

"If Yoshida Senpai becomes my boyfriend, I won't be refused."

I silently dropped my 500 yen coin into a coin purse.

Mishima smiled and shouted "a" as I immediately remembered.

"I'm going to the toilet, right?"

"Oh, that's right."

"I still have time to go to the screening, but it's opening soon, so hurry and hurry."

Having been hurried by Mishima, I went to the bathroom at a quick pace.

Standing in front of the urinal, I imagined the movie that I was about to see.

"Heavy man".

Just remembering the contents of the dream I had this morning, I was curious about the contents of the movie.

It's a movie I've been watching for a long time, so I think it's good to be able to enjoy it.

"Even though my body is heavy, how do I do it to my heart?"

Hiromi, the hero's elder sister, told the hero, Teruo.

"A man must have enough hearts to keep a beloved woman free. Put a woman within your reach, and be safe, safe, and affectionate. Is that so important?

Hiromi said as if to fold.

Teruo is listening to the words while biting his lower lip.

"I can't do that. Tether that child with love, not bondage. That's what living together is like. "

Hiromi's words were powerful.

The line "Love, not bondage, connect" will surely resonate in your head as clearly as you might think of the scriptwriter.

At the same time, Hiromi's words stabbed directly into my chest.

At the same time as watching the video, that word flashed back in my brain.

"I don't want to be taken care of that much."

Kanda said that.

What did she want from me? Wouldn't it have been better not to be taken care of? Now there is no way to confirm it.

"Get lighter. If you remain so heavy, a woman can't live freely. '

Hiromi said "freedom."

Does a man have to let a woman live freely? Suddenly, I thought about that.

Even men want to live freely.

Isn't it also "free" to love and love your favorite women?

As questions began to rise, I repeated back and forth between the video and my thoughts.

The end roll was over and the inside of the theater was dimly lit.

I thought too much and felt a bit tired.

How did Mishima watch this movie? Looking to the side, thinking of a little talk, Mishima stared at the blank screen and expressed an unreadable emotion. Slightly surprised.

Mishima got up suddenly when I tried to call. We start to collect luggage quickly without saying anything.

This scene was familiar to me.

It was just like Kanda's work after watching the movie.

Mishima leaves the theater with her luggage without worrying about me. I got up in a hurry and followed.

I managed to catch up and walked next door, but Mishima remained silent. Her eyes looked forward, but seemed unconscious, as if she was looking somewhere far away. Perhaps you are thinking about a movie. This was very similar to Kanda-senpai.

The two leave the movie theater silently.

Mishima stopped walking as soon as he left the cinema, lifted his arms and grew.

I look at the profile and stare at it.

I'm obsessed with the feeling that she might say, "Oh, it was fun."

Mishima turned his face to here. Then raise your mouth and say,

"Yoshida Senpai, was the movie interesting?"

"Oh? Oh oh ..."

I didn't expect a question to come to myself, and made a silly voice. And she was a little disappointed with her words. At this point, if she said, "Oh, it was fun," but that's what I said, but I completely expected that word.

"Well, it was interesting. There were many things to think about."

"Sorka"

Mishima nodded and looked up at the sky. He hummed.

"I thought I was a little disappointed."

She said she was calm, not angry or disappointed. I feel a little strange about the difference between the words and her expression.

"I'm not angry at all, despite my disappointment."

"That's right. It's not angry or something like that."

Mishima waved his hand and raised his eyebrows.

"It's just different from what I expected. I'm angry because the director wanted to be 'that'."

"Even if you can't help it, there are some who get angry."

"I'm not an angry guy."

Mishima smiled tightly and continued his words.

"I don't think Yoshida Senpai knows, but the slogan of that work was" heavy man and light woman. I wonder if it's a good ending. "

Mishima immediately drops his gaze on the ground. "But it's different," he continued.

"A light woman felt more like" selfishness "than a light one. A heavy man, who should have been stuck with a heavy mindset, changed his feelings with" Hiromi "'s sermon from the perspective of another person. That's the end of the story, and it's the end of the protagonist saying, "I'll change to make you more alive!"

Clearly, Mishima seemed to be having a little fun while saying that he was talking about disappointment with the movie. He was watching that work with that much heat.

"I thought it was going to be a step for each other, and the guy swallowed it all. It was a happy ending, but I wasn't quite convinced."

Speaking in a breath, Mishima looked up.

"Oh, sorry. It's getting hot alone."

"No, it's okay. I really like watching movies."

"If you don't like it, don't bother."

That's true. My chest hurt a little.

I had never been interested in a movie before going to a movie theater to date a lover. I don't think it's a bad thing, but when I saw someone who was purely enjoying the movie, it seemed strangely dark and a little embarrassing.

"What did you think of Yoshida Senpai? That story"

Asked, I'm stuck in words.

"Ah, how do you ask me ..."

I scratched my head crisply and made my gaze hover.

"I had a lot of thoughts, but when asked if it was interesting, it wasn't interesting. I was more sympathetic to the protagonist."

"I thought absolutely so."

Mishima smiles laughingly and points at me.

"Yoshida is also a heavy man."

"... maybe."

I nodded vaguely. And he asked naturally.

"Is a heavy man a depressing after all from a woman?"

When asked, Mishima rounded her eyes for a second and then smiled.

"Have you ever told Yoshida Senpai that someone?" He's a heavy man. "

"I'm gonna be good ... and how is it?"

Mishima shook her shoulders and tilted her head several times in response to me.

"No, in the end, I think it's a compatibility. Some people hate that kind of man, and I think there are just as many people who like it."

Mishima said that, then stared at me.

"I don't know who said what, but it's better to keep Yoshida Senpai, absolutely."

"I do not think so"

"That's right. Yoshida's kindness is the best."

"Do you praise it?"

"I praise you."

Mishima looked at me again after swimming for the first moment.

"I like people like Yoshida Senpai."

It was strangely embarrassing to stare straight and be told such a thing, and I immediately looked away.

"That's you, you should stop it."

Shaking his hand, Mishima tilts her head.

"Is that so?"

"I'll say 'I like' right away. If you misunderstand, you'll misunderstand."

As I said, Mishima stopped moving and sighed a little.

"... Senpai Yoshida"

Mishima threw a glance at me.

"what is it"

"Before Yoshida Senpai was heavy or something like that"

Mishima shrugged and said it.

"It's usually stupid, isn't it?"

"What?"

After that, I went into a cafe and talked a bit about the movie while having a snack, and then it broke up. It's been a long time since I spent my holiday with someone other than Sayu, so I'm walking on my way home, feeling so mysterious.

At the cafe, I remember what Mishima said.

"Social interaction is" rubbing together. "So one of them worked hard and it changed, and it fits round! I don't think it's the right answer.

Mishima's words while adding a lot of sugar to the coffee were strangely feverish.

"In order to get along well with each other, I think that it is" communication "that some places collide and some compromises. If you can not do that, no ... If you don't think, you're not a long-term partner. ''

Mishima smiled with two bags of sugar wrapped in a paper tube in coffee.

"In that regard, Yoshida Senpai is good.

"It's good, but it's too much."

I was worried about the amount of sugar from the middle and it was half the story.

I've been thinking many times since Kanda graduated and lost contact.

If I knew more about my seniors, she would have been with me even after I graduated from high school.

But, in Mishima's words, maybe my seniors should have approached me too. Perhaps it wasn't that much of a connection between me and my seniors that I couldn't do that.

The only thing I can say is that I really fell in love with Kanda. That was an unchanging fact.

"This is what it is"

I muttered alone and smiled bitterly.

This kind of thinking may be "heavy" in the first place. I can hardly forget the woman I put in. No, in retrospect, it's not just about women. Even when the seniors who prepared my work at the time of joining the company moved to the department one after another, I could not forget their work style, it was a slow synchronization and I was frustrated by my seniors .

I think it's my bad thing that I can't truncate the past.

"I don't know who said what, but it's better to keep Yoshida Senpai, absolutely."

Mishima said that, but he didn't think so at all.

As I walked around with my thoughts, I arrived at home in no time.

Turn the key and open the door.

"Oh, Yoshida is back! Shasha Chaso, Yoshida is back!"

Asami sat down in the living room and exclaimed. Sayu was loading laundry on the veranda.

"Oh, we're back. Sorry, Asami brought me."

"I don't mean to apologize. Yoshida's home is already my second home."

"I don't mind being there, but don't be a bit more."

She takes off her shoes while smiling at Asami who sticks out her tongue.

When I got home, it was strangely reassuring that there were already people.

If I was alone, I would have thought that I would go around things of the past.

"Sayu, it's dinner, but do you want to eat pizza today?"

I said, Sayuu had her eyes rounded, and Asami made her eyes shine.

Movies, cafes, and pizza.

It's pretty painful to pay for the sunrise, but sometimes it's good.

Use money to talk to people and eat delicious food.

Anyway, I wanted to get my daydream out of my head.

But the more he wanted to forget, in one corner of his head, the memory made his claim stronger.
