X-Day — Third Part

Hiiragi-chan said.

“It’s already late, you know?”

However, her voice was tinged with a bit of happiness. The first time I went to her house was around this time, so I think it’s a bit too late to be giving warnings.

“Can I head over?”

When I repeated myself, she immediately replied with a yes.

“Seiji-kun, you’re such a rebellious child.”

She spoke teasingly, but after saying see you later, she hung up the call. I prepared myself and left my room. There, I was found by Sana who had called for me to come.

“Ah, Nii-san, where are you going?”

“Just going to play around at night.”

“Just because tomorrow is Saturday? Such a delinquent! W-who are you going to be hanging out with…?”

“It doesn’t matter, right?”

“…What about the DVD watch part with Sana——”

“Let’s do it some other time.”

I waved my hand as I descended down the stairs and left the house. Biking during this season means you’re met with a cold wind. It’s super cold…

When I made it to Hiiragi-chan’s apartment, it was just in time for Hiiragi-chan to arrive as well.

“Good work.”

Once she saw me, she ran over and hugged me. Hmm? She’s already using the scarf that we gave her.

“Fuwaan, Seiji-kun… I got past the bulk of it… I think I can finally relax for a bit.”

“I see. That’s nice. Thanks for the hard work.”

Maybe since it’s been a while since we’ve hugged like this, Hiiragi-chan didn’t let go at all.

“Wait, we’re outside you know?”

“Ah. T-that’s right…”

There isn’t anyone else, and since it was dark in the parking lot, even if there was anyone they probably won’t recognize us.

I helped her carry her belongings and we entered her room together. Even though she’s busy with work, her room was still clean.

“Amazing… If I was busy with work, I’m sure I would have had some laundry or dirty dishes left over. However, there’s none of that…”

“Ehen. But Seiji-kun, rather than that, aren’t you currently living at home?”

Ah, whoops.

“Aah… Umm, I’m just imagining myself living alone.”

Hiiragi-chan didn’t seem to be too curious about it.

After sitting on the sofa, and randomly browsing through some channels on the television,

“Haruka-san, thanks for the scarf. I’m going to use it a lot.”

“Well, after Rei-chan talked to me, I panicked a bit… I just ended up too excited… and then I hand knitted the scarf…”

I told Hiiragi-chan that Rei-chan knows about our relationship.

“Yeah… It’s certainly worth confiding in her… she seems precocious and her suggestions are really mature.”

Well, she is twenty on the inside.

“Natsumi had also tried to stop me… telling me that hand knitting something would be too heavy or something.”

I don’t understand… that’s what the difficult expression Hiiragi-chan had seemed to say.
