35 35 Angels and New Years appointments (2/2)
Zhou basically promised to show his face once every six months, so I was going to go home for a long vacation before I met him at midday.
”Zhou-kun is going home, right?”
”Well, they're telling me to show my face for once.”
When I look at midday, there is a midday with no heart or a limp glance than my usual expression.
He takes it for granted to spend time alone, and he doesn't doubt Zhou will return home.
”... they're going to keep asking me about you when I get home.”
”It's tough”
”Dad might be able to listen to his mother or something, but she probably wants to listen.”
”It's strange how we interact all the time.”
”Really, you're familiar with your mother at some point...”
For some reason, I got along with my mother at some point. While I don't know the mention, the photo reveals a bit of a backstory... but I seem to like it and deal with them at this rate at midday, which makes me feel okay.
Don't say anything extra to Shibako again, and I'll see what's going on at midday as I stab him in the nail.
I really... don't want to be alone when I think of the vain look I get from time to time or the lonely look I have.
”Well, I met my mother during this time, and it's bad for my father, but I thought I didn't have to go home this time. I'm going home for spring break anyway.”
So if she's not a nuisance, I hope we can have dinner together as usual.
”... Really?”
”Mm-hmm. I want your new year's soba.”
”You're eating.”
”It's a midday dish.”
”... even though it's almost commercially available?
”Still.”
Even if the buckwheat just boiled the over-the-counter stuff, that's fine.
Because it's more important for both of us to eat slowly and pass the time.
”... you're a weird person”
”Shut up.”
I returned it deliberately and grumpy at midday when I had expressed my disrespect, and a small smile returned.
”... thank you”
”What is it?”
”Anything.”
At midday I said nothing more than that, and with a bright look at how I was feeling somewhat better, I hugged my favorite cushion.
