25 25 Loose Keys (1/2)

Though the way Zhou and Midday called each other changed during Saturday's mother raid, nothing else changed in particular.

We don't get along all of a sudden. However, the way I called it became a little frank and my midday attitude softened somewhat, is that about it?

”... Um, Zhou-kun”

She came earlier than usual Sunday evening, subtly awkwardly so, or with a troubled windy face.

Zhou was perplexed by his uncertain attitude, although it was a good idea to invite him in.

I wondered if there was resistance to calling names, but I didn't hesitate to call them when I called them, so I guess there's another element.

For now, we sat on the couch with each other and watched what was going on at midday, and I took the handkerchief out of my skirt pocket.

Suddenly I wonder what it is, I carefully corner by corner and open the handkerchief that was folded to show the dull, light-reflecting key that was wrapped around me.

I think it looks familiar because I left it handed to her yesterday.

”... key, I'll give it back. After all, I couldn't get out then. I forgot to give it back... I'm sorry.”

”I see.”

Apparently, it was uncomfortable for you to leave with your keys.

Zhou, who was good at midday in a strange way, stares at the key on the handkerchief.

On second thought, I almost certainly make dinner in this house every day at midday. Every time Zhou was out on the doorstep, he stopped by and couldn't stay home or let go of his hand, causing him to wait a little.

Wouldn't it be tough on a woman to make her stand in front of the front door this season?

I hear it's a big enemy for a woman to chill her body, and I'm not too happy to think that I'll be a stickler for a while as a circumference.

I come here almost every day, so wouldn't it be easier for her to have a key as a circumference?

”I don't mind if I keep it that way.”

”Huh?”

”You can give it back to me when I'm out of it.”

Well, if I told you, I gave it to you. I mean, I'll take care of you for a while, but I'm anxious to look around at midday when I didn't receive the key.

”So, but”

”I mean, it's hard to go out to the front door all the time.”

”I'm telling the truth.”

”You don't abuse me.”

”That's right...”

For over a month at a time, I have had my meal served or made here, and I intend to understand my midday personality.

She is, first of all, common sense, good sense, and a character who can't do evil things.

Where I got this key, there's almost no certainty that I'll give it to someone or do something while Zhou is away. He's someone you can trust.
