110 Someone Said You’re Light Itself” (1/2)
”You’re a good person, Seigo Harano.”
Shika Kagura finally spoke her first sentence and instantly attached the label of a ”good person” to Seiji for the second time.
”I’ve already heard you say that at Drama Club.” Seiji looked at her.”Although I don’t really think I’m such a good person… But perhaps I am, just a little.”
”Someone told me that you’re ‘light itself.’”
Seiji was rendered speechless upon hearing this.
A feminine… no, the image of a boy in female clothing flashed through his memory. He felt a sudden urge to cover his face!
But he still had to ask to make sure.
”Who did you hear that from? Was it Hoshi Amami? Do you know him?”
Shika nodded in response.
Seiji ended up clutching his face when Shika nodded.
‘Hoshi, it’s one thing if you’re just thinking it in your mind! Are you really telling others as well!? It’s too embarrassing!’
After mentally cursing his absent junior, Seiji decided to give Hoshi a proper education with his fist when they next met.
”Seigo Harano?” A confused voice called out his name.
”Oh, my apologies, I was just…” Seiji coughed and lowered his hands again.”You’re classmates with Hoshi?”
”Same club.” Shika’s answers were rather succinct.
”What club?”
”Literature.”
”I see…”
So Hoshi was in the Literature Club, hmm. It seemed quite suitable for him.
‘No, wait!’
”How did he tell you about it?” Seiji’s face began to twitch.
‘Did that guy tell the entire Literature Club about his wild fantasies!?’
Shika remained silent.
Seiji was filled with tension as he awaited Shika’s answer.
If that idiot junior of his really did tell the entire Literature Club something so embarrassing… damn it! This wasn’t something that could be taken care of with just one educational punch!
Achoo… Hoshi sneezed while doing housework at his aunt’s house.
”Senpai’s work has probably ended now… Man, I want to go as well,” he muttered to himself as he wiped down a surface.
But first, he had to clean up his aunt’s house.
After all, they were going to live together now. He felt it would be best to get everything cleaned.
Anyway, Aunt Rika seemed to be so strict, but her home was…
Hoshi couldn’t help but smile wryly as he thought back to the chaotic mess in the house when he first arrived.
Aunt Rika seemed to feel awkward about it as well.
Still, she was always busy with work and lived by herself, so it was understandable that her house was messy.
Hoshi felt that the first thing he should do after moving in was to clean up the whole place, both for his aunt and for himself.
He decided that this was more important than going to work at the confectionery store. Even though he really wanted to be next to Senpai at work, he controlled his urge and didn’t go to the store.
He should do what was necessary first… Did this count as maturing?
‘When I see Harano-senpai again, I’ll tell him… and reveal Aunt Rika’s true living conditions at home!’ Hoshi chuckled to himself as he imagined the conversation.
He had no idea that the next time he met his Senpai an iron fist would be waiting for him.
In the park.
Shika remained silent for a long period of time.
Finally, she averted her gaze before speaking.
”I asked him why it was that… he didn’t die.”
Seiji who had been waiting for the answer was stunned at the unexpected response.
Why Hoshi didn’t die?
This type of question… it sounded almost as if… she knew Hoshi Amami originally should have died!
