136 136 Long Time Home (2/2)
I couldn't bear to turn my back and Shudo even laughed at me.
”It's not honest, really. That's the cute part about Zhou.”
”Are you making fun of a guy for being cute or something”
”Zhou-kun is cute indeed.”
”We'll talk about it later in the day.”
”Yes, I'll talk to you later.”
She smiled and didn't make any grunt noises. Today's midday is plain tough. I thought I was very nervous, and it looked like I was already cracking it down.
Though it may simply show how accustomed I am to interacting with Zhou.
It was Shudo, who looked interesting at Zhou and Midday's exchange, but blinks loudly as he remembers something.
”Oh, yes, Mr. Vertebra. Why don't you come shopping with me? Shibako asked me for something.”
”What are you trying to get me out of here?”
Shu Dou smiled unchanged this time around, who looked disgusted because he was being rolled over his palms at midday.
”I'm not going to imitate a lot of things if you bring me around like Shibako, are you?
”I know that.”
”Zhou left a message.”
”Why not!?
”Well, if you were here to talk back in the day, I'd be out of your way.”
”You got in the way or something!?
”Yeah.”
Shudo sees midday as he passes through a perimeter that is snorted and stuck in words.
”Why don't you go out with your uncle?
”No, that's not true. If I may.”
”Then I wonder if you'll go. I'd like you to choose Shibako's present with me.”
Midday was puzzled by Shu Dou's words, who chuckled that he had obtained consent.
”P, is that a gift? Even on some anniversary...?
”Because I often give it to my mother, Dad. On a day of nothing.”
Shudo is a very female-friendly man, and he makes gifts especially when Shibako, his beloved wife, has no particular memorial.
Because I want to see everyday evidence of gratitude and affection and Shibako's delightful face, it was Shu Dou's conversation. When I was at my parents' house, Zhou also went out shopping.
I guess this time I invited midday to see things from a female perspective. Perhaps the main purpose is to talk about Zhou.
”... Zhou-kun looks like Shudo, doesn't he?”
”I didn't do that, though.”
”If you find a stuffed animal or something cute, I'll buy it and give it to you.”
I buy things that look delightful or look good at midday, but sometimes that's because I like them, and it's also a thank you for taking care of them every day at midday.
Maybe that's true when it comes to resembling Shudo, but I don't think it's that frequent.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
”... that's the place, isn't it?
I laughed at Zhou at midday, which I returned with an excused voice, and then laughed with a jolly pranky voice.
Shu Dou also looked at this one smiling, so Zhou headed to escape in the name of helping Shifuko, who was getting up and cleaning up after him in a cluttered motion just because he couldn't do it.
”Oh, Cho, what's wrong?”
”... I'm here to help”
”Oh, thank you. But are you glad we didn't talk properly at midday?
”'Cause I'm going to be taken out to buy out at midday with my dad now.”
If you look in the living room properly, you two are ready to go out laughing.
The action was quick, probably because Shu Dou, who spotted Zhou slightly rotten, tried to prepare a cooling period. Sometimes I get scared because I spot people's minds too thin while they're my parents.
”Oh, you're going to buy me out. Shudo would have wanted to ask you something at midday, too, wouldn't that be nice?”
”What are you going to ask...”
”Well, isn't that normal or something? I don't know everything about Shudo.”
Hand over the paella pan that has been washed around and dried over the fire, so I honestly go back to the shelf where the cookware is located.
In the meantime, Midday and Shudo were leaving the living room, so I resented slightly the door where my back disappeared, and then went back to Shifuko, where I kept washing my clothes, and wiped the dishes I washed and put them back on the shelf as well.
I am proud to say that I am accustomed to working well with him at midday, but Shibako kept his eyes round Zhou's hand.
”I can't believe I'm moving around.”
”Thank you.”
”I'm relieved you didn't just let me do it at midday.”
”They thought how shitty I am...”
I'm not a shameless man with a thick face enough to let a boulder have it all at midday.
I'm sorry I only let you do it at midday.
I have a heavy cooking labor, so I should be circumferential about what Zhou can do, and I should be concerned.
If you narrow your eyes and look at Shibako, you will call me ”… hey Zhou” as you are impressed.
”What the fuck?”
”How far did you go right in the middle of the day?
”Buh.”
Shibako finished washing the dishes flat around the area where she didn't think the question would fly right now.
Though it receives reflexively and wipes away moisture with a towel, the upset is unhidden and narrow between the eyebrows.
”Why are you upset? Obviously, you're creating an atmosphere that feels like you're dating. I can't hide it in a boulder.”
You can't deny it if you say so.
The atmosphere that drifts between Zhou and midday is different from that of the first time. It's obvious because I'm socializing, but I was going to hide it as much as possible in front of my parents.
After all, it was pointless because it was spotted.
”... is it bad?”
”No? I'd rather you come as my daughter, so I'm welcome.”
”... right”
”I thought you'd done it all already because you were so gazing and snuggling in the air.”
”Bullshit! Is there a reason!
I hoist my eyebrow butt to a hell of an evil push, but Shibako didn't look bad.
”... Mother, stop saying that at midday”
”I won't tell Midday to the boulder though. But as far as I'm concerned, I want my daughter. I'd expect that.”
I can't blame it because I also know what it's like for a mother to want a daughter who doesn't give her children anymore due to physical circumstances, and I just keep my mouth moving with my lid.
”... don't put pressure on me at midday”
”I know. That's why I need you to keep it around.”
”You think I'm gonna let go of what I really want?
Back in the day, if midday was happy, I wasn't going to leave that they didn't have to be themselves, but now I can't say that anymore.
I got narrower, maybe so, but I can also say that I felt more inclined to take care of midday and not let go. I wanted to make midday happy, and I wanted to make other men fall in love enough not to let go of me.
So I wasn't going to give you the kind of gap that midday would see.
Shibako is taken aback for a moment by the clearly said circumference, then laughs happily throat.
”Hehe, you look like Shudo in those places, too. Shudo loves me as much as he ever loved me.”
”Because if I were natural like my father, I wouldn't inherit anything.”
”What do you think? Shall I ask you at midday?”
”Hey, don't.”
If I hear that at midday, I'm going to leak a natural and embarrassing episode at midday, so I have to do everything I can to stop it.
Zhou frowned even more at Shibako, who said in a really relaxed tone, ”I can't look forward to her coming home at midday.”
