"Well, Yoshida, don't you come back today?"

"... I see."

After finishing the part-time job, asami, who came to the house as usual, went to the living room and received a message from Mr. Yoshida while I was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"sorry. It's a bit of a work day today and I have to follow it today, so I'm going to stay at the company. I'm really sorry I couldn't stay home the day after that yesterday, but I just can't help it ... I'm really sorry. You only have to prepare your own meals. Don't go out too much. If there is something, please put a message as soon as possible. "

For Yoshida, who always sends only short texts, very long sentences are sent and I am surprised.

As she is reading, Asami looks into the screen and she looks over the text with her.

"No, I'm too worried.

"Well ... I was worried."

As I said, Asami glanced at me sideways, then poked my flank with my elbow.

"It's not because of Sha Yu Chaso"

"..."

Asami wondered how I could answer and snatched my smartphone and started writing messages on her own.

"Eh, a little."

"I'm from you"

Asami says lightly and then writes at a tremendous speed.

"Yoshida Tachi-ya-ho Asami, but I'm at Yoshida-Tachi's house with Yu Sasah. If you can't return to Yoshida, let's take care of Sha Yu Chaso overnight with a guardian thing. I think it's a really good idea! ? Reply Yoro. Yoro at the fastest

I am surprised at the text that Asami hits.

"Well, is it OK to stay?"

"Die Job Die Job"

"Do you worry about your parents?"

When I asked, for a moment Asami's eyes swam. By the time I thought, Asami was smiling and waving her head.

"Die Job Dai Job. There isn't even today!"

"Ah, yeah ..."

I apologize for asking if I was insensitive.

Soon the smartphone vibrated and a reply from Mr. Yoshida came.

"sorry. I want to ask if you can. Thank you"

Looking at it, Asami smiled at him.

"Because you're Chasa. Today we're together all night, it's dangerous."

"I'm sorry."

I'm entangled and laugh. Asami's smile is always soft, and she gets caught.

"Well then, let's have dinner for a while? You're hungry."

Asking Asami, she paused for a moment and shook her head.

"No, dinner is good for now."

"Yup?"

"I have a toco that I want to go for a bit.

Asami said so and pointed out of the window.

The time was around 20:00 and the outside was completely dark.

"At this time of the day?"

"That's why it's such a time"

"Well, they're fine.

"As expected, Sayu Chaso, I understand the story!"

Asami showed her exaggeration and stood up fine.

"Go as soon as you decide to do that, right away!"

"Well, where are you going?"

"I'm having fun since I went there.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Asami rushes to the front door as she rolls one after another. I put my smartphone in my pocket and left home with Asami.

"There are a few street lights around here. It's scary to walk alone at night."

"Isn't that normal?"

"The street lamps near the Uchin House are even more amazing.

"That's right."

As I walked in a conversation with no love, I went into a path I didn't even know. It's a building you don't even know where you look, even though you're probably less than 10 minutes from Yoshida's house.

And I felt that the streetlights were increasing and brighter as Asami said. And the buildings that have passed are all fine houses.

"Wait a minute here"

Suddenly Asami stopped and smiled and said.

"Eh, uh, yeah."

As I nodded, Asami took out his wallet and took something like a thin card out of it. He inserted it into a machine mounted next to a large gate in front of him. The gate begins to open automatically and slowly after a loud "snap".

"……eh"

When I looked up, there was a very big house behind a very big gate. Rather, I just thought of it as a "big building" without ever recognizing it as a "house".

"This is this house of Asami?"

When I asked, Asami turned to me and said, "So." After that, she smiled and smiled somewhere lonely.

The gate opens and Asami walks inside. Then, after a few seconds, when I heard a rattling noise, I pulled out the bicycle and returned.

"Omata ~"

"Ji, bicycle?"

"Well, now I'm going, and walking is a bit far."

"Eh, will I ride?"

"That's right, behind you, behind you."

"Two-seater ... Is it okay?"

If the police finds it, it's a guide.

In my words, Asami smiled and said,

"Do you only run Yu Sacha?"

"Terrible!"

"Die Job Dai Job, there's no mapo because it's like going to the countryside in the city right now."

"What is mappo ..."

Asami exchanged lightly, Asami closed the gate and straddled the bicycle. Then, he hit the small bed.

"Hey, get on because it's good."

"Yup……"

Sitfully, sit sideways on the carrier. Asami looked sideways and saw me sitting down, then said, "Go, go" and pulled out the pedals.

I lost my balance because of a slight swing from side to side.

"Wow"

"You can hug me.

"No……"

As I was told, when I hugged the back of Asami's torso, I felt that my balance had suddenly improved.

A bicycle that has been riding at speed gradually receives the wind from the direction of travel. His legs were faint, but his upper body, embraced by Asami, was warm.

Why is she so encouraging even though she just met?

I thought that.

"Hey, Asami"

"Hmm?"

When I noticed, I was speaking.

"I am"

"Yup"

"I'm from Hokkaido"

"Hey, it's really far away.

Let's say it now. I can say that now.

I didn't think so.

When I realized, then I was talking to Asami where I came from.

Asami, while rowing a bicycle, hammered at a slow, comfortable rhythm.

It was a relaxing time, a very liberating feeling, as the heavy, large, and black objects that I had in my hands gradually melted and melted into the darkness of the night.

The story before coming here, the story I met Yoshida, the story I met Asami, and the story I met Goto.

By the end of that, Asami stopped pedaling.

"We arrived"

When Asami said and stopped the bicycle, I finally noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed completely.

"Wow……"

Unexpectedly, it was leaking from my mouth.

On a small hill. There were so many vegetation near the city that I thought there was so much nature in the city, and a park with only a small bench and lawn was right in front of me.

And the starry sky is dazzling in the sky.

"Nice, right"

"Yup……"

"This is my favorite."

Asami said, she put her bike on the edge of the park and slowly walked to the center of the lawn.

Then he lay down there. I lay down next to Asami. The view is filled with the starry sky.

"It's really beautiful ... even in the city, you can see so many stars."

"I'm scared. When I saw my first time, I was really scared."

Asami laughed brilliantly and exhaled a little. And say fishing.

"Dad is a politician."

"e?"

"My mother is a lawyer.

"A story about Asami?"

"So"

Asami exhaled through her nose and continued to speak.

"I've been busy with my parents for a long time, and I've been left abandoned.

"……I see"

`` I wanted to get the attention of my parents and tried to cool the gals, but my mother got fainted, my father was serious and it was hard, and I never thought about why I did that kind of thing I didn't get it. "

"Yup"

"Well, my mother was scared of studying for a long time. I was studying hard as I was told."

Reason, Asami is smart. I heard and got a point. And at the same time, I felt a little sad.

"My mom wants to be a lawyer for me. I knew it since I was a junior high school student. But I'm not interested in lawyers."

"Yes, I don't think it's right"

"Buha, what's the secret?

So, Asami once separated words. While waiting for the continuation, Asami wondered because she couldn't open her mouth. When she turned to her side, she turned her face red for some reason.

"What happened?"

"No ... do you laugh?"

"e?"

"I'm asking you to laugh."

"I don't laugh."

I'm worried that I can say that before I know what to say, but I'm going to ask it seriously.

Asami heard my words and whispered slightly suspiciously, and then said in a small voice.

"I want to be a novelist."

"Eh, it ’s amazing!

"Well, can I? ... well, it's good."

"Absolutely!"

I've seen Asami do a few assignments at school, but I've been really thrilled, and I've been writing polite and cohesive sentences, and I'm really impressed. I have.

"I understand, I'm fine"

Asami turned her face red, even in the dark, and continued to cheat.

"So I want to go to the Faculty of Literature instead of the Faculty of Law."

"Well, that's right."

"So, if you say that, it's a mother's opposition."

"... well, that's right."

Asami sighed and pointed at the starry sky.

"It's the first big fight with my mom. Then my dad was unusual and took me out of here. That's here."

Asami narrowed her eyes looking at the starry sky a little. Her profile, reminiscent of her, was a little bit mature.

"I was lying here like now, and I saw the stars together. I was so surprised that I was beautiful. Dad," Your worries are small compared to stars in space. " Why? "

Asami smiled laughing alone with a smile, and then narrowed her eyes again.

"Suddenly, I was talking about such a big scale story, what did I say, this bald one?"

"I thought it was terrible."

"Because it is suddenly difficult to compare with the universe, I'm just a human being."

Asami laughed and said that, and then she had a serious expression.

"But ... I couldn't agree with Dad's words, but I thought I'd look at this starry sky."

"What?"

When I asked, Asami paused for a while and then said in a small voice, but clearly.

"Even though there are so many big stars, we live and do something."

Asami said that while staring at the starry sky, the profile was so beautiful that I was entangled and looked back at the starry sky.

"From the starry sky, I think our scales are so small that they can't be seen by anyone. I'm living as hard as I can. ''

"..."

I felt that Asami's words were slowly penetrating my chest with the scenery of the starry sky jumping into my eyes.

"I mean, suddenly, I think I'm talking about you, Imif."

Asami said so far and gently held my hand.

"Sayu Chaso has a history, and there is a future, and I think it belongs to Sayu Chaso at all costs. I know, but "

Asami squeezed my hand and knocked my head down toward me. Asami meets her eyes.

"Absolutely, it makes sense.

"..."

Gradually, the back of my eyes became hot.

Asami said, irrespective of her, staring at my eyes.

"I've been walking down till this point. It's amazing. You can see that Sayu Chaso is a hard-working person and thinks," I have to walk, I have to walk. " I ’m sorry. ”

"……Yes Yes……"

"Because I've been walking, I'm sure you can walk back."

“……… yeah!”

I hugged my neighbor Asami.

Hot as the eyes burn. I've been crying since I came here.

"Ok, don't cry ... don't cry ... don't cry"

Her face was pressed against Asami's body, so she couldn't see her face, but she was quite nasal.

On a small hill and under a starry sky.

Asami and I cried for a few tens of minutes.
