V1C1 Part9

Takanashi-san continues to ramble.

“Character! I’m not wearing a cat costume or something! I don’t know, that’s just the way I am!”

I was so shocked that I felt I had been hit by a hammer before I slowly started to comprehend it. So, this is the real her. The difference between the current her and in school is so great that I can’t seem to understand the situation properly.

I didn’t know Takanashi-san was this kind of person. I was shocked…No, she was a person who didn’t understand what she was saying, but I was judging her without permission. That’s bad, but I was still shocked.

“Seriously…you presented yourself as such a cool person!”

“I was not! When someone talks to me, I don’t know how to reply. I was wondering what to say, but the next thing I realized was that the girl I was talking to started to ramble away!”

…Communication disorder. That’s what I’m trying to talk about.

I’m trying to communicate properly. And I feel like… we can talk now. The image of her in the classroom is a bit vague.

That aside, why are we having this conversation?

“You’re now talking to me fine, why?”

“B-because I was shocked and nervous when you looked at my underwear and were washing my clothes…I was scared at first, but when I saw you cooking the dinner happily, I wasn’t sacred anymore. The dinner was delicious.”

“T-that’s right.”

Was that a good thing? No, it was a million times better than being nervous. It’s not good being afraid of at work, if we can talk casually like this, it is probably for the best. Thin positive, positive.

Anyway, did I really look happy while making the dinner? I can’t imagine myself like that. I’ll ask her to let me know next time.

Suddenly, she shook as if something hit her.

“Rather about the food! What should I do about that?!”

Even if you say that, it’s not in the contract so it can’t be helped.

“You can eat out or eat the frozen …food?!”

She started to cling to me. And began to cry.

“Take care of my food! I don’t want to eat frozen food anymore! If I make a mistake while thawing, it becomes too cold, and if I heat it too much, it becomes too hot to eat. Can you relate to my feelings?!”

“I cannot.”

“Isn’t it cold? Hey, isn’t it cold? It’s colder than the center of the hamburger I failed to thaw once.”

“S-stop Takanashi-san. Don’t shatter that mysterious image any longer.”

“Then stop adding ‘san’ when you call me. Takanashi is just fine. Also, don’t make up your own image of me! This is who I am!”

“O-oh. I got it, Takanashi. I’ll stop creating my own image, your face is too close…!”

I don’t know if she is conscious of it or not, but it’s kind of embarrassing when she brings her face close to mine as she approaches me. I turned my face away and kept my distance. I feel like I smelled something pleasant. Her face is also insanely pretty. It’s really bad for my heart.

And, my phone rang at the perfect time. It was a number that I didn’t recognize. I thought it was a bit suspicious, but the number wasn’t in the blocked list either. At any rate, I tried to connect it.
