Chapter 25: Chatting

Approximately two weeks after the collab with Yuugure and the others. It’s around the time of the year when winter is coming.

Nagara came to Masaki’s home like usual.

“Thanks for your hard work!”

“You’re here, come on in.”

Nagara has also changed into winter clothing.

She has on a set of snow white fluffy mufflers and earmuffs.

Masaki’s immediate thoughts were ‘she looks like a hamster.’

“Aah, it’s messy again. You really can’t clean, senpai……”

“I’ve been a bit busy recently. Sit wherever you want.”

“You said the same excuse last week though~. But that’s the pretext for why I’m here so I’d be troubled if it is clean.”

While saying that, Nagara quickly cleans up everything.

“If you haven’t had lunch yet, wanna eat here?”

“I’ll eat! Thanks for the treat!”

“It’s also better for me to have someone to eat with.”

Masaki cooks while Nagara cleans. Both of them have become so used to it, it’s now a routine.

“That reminds me, how’s it looking with the chief? It’s been a while since I quit. Is he getting mad like always?”

“No, he’s energetically performing his job~. I heard that the president regularly checks on his work. It’s as if he’s working like his life depends on it.”

“The president himself……so that’s how much the president felt about it.”

“But from my POV, it seems like he’s pressuring him, telling him, ‘work faster!’”

When Nagara worked with Masaki, the chief would become enraged everyday. However, he’s now working cheerfully without a shred of that former anger.

For Masaki, that’s a joyous outcome.

“More importantly, senpai.”

“What is it?”

“Are you planning on moving?”

Nagara inquired Masaki as she pointed at the computer on top of the desk.

“Yeah, that’s right. I was searching for some properties right when you came.”

“Now that you mention it, you said ‘I don’t have any time to search for properties’ before, didn’t you?”

“Mmhmm. If I had some soundproof rooms or something like that, I can freely stream during nighttime.”

Masaki is thinking that he wants to move into a residency with soundproof rooms, which are rooms that make it difficult for sound to leak outside.

“Do those exist in buildings like apartment condos?”

“They do. The rent will be fairly expensive since the other rooms will also be expanded but I’ve got more financial leeway just recently.”

“It’s cause of that thing called voice drama you talked about!! I also listened to it~!”

“Having an acquaintance listen to it is extremely embarrassing though……”

“It was the best!”

Speaking of which, Masaki’s released voice drama has Masaki as the teacher and the viewers as the students for the setting. It plays out the scenario of him acting strict and verbally abusing the students.

When he asked Yuugure if this was fine, she replied with “this will be a real treat…no, I didn’t do anything, okay?” mixed with a sigh so he thought it was fine, but it seems like Nagara was also pleased by it.

“When I move in, I might not need you to clean for me anymore”

“That’s not happening. Rather, the amount of cleaning will proportionately go up the bigger the rooms get. I’ll continue to take care of you even after you move!”

“But a senpai being taken care of by a kouhai is terrible for my public appearance.”

“Don’t worry about the little things!!”

After eating lunch, the two searched for properties.

“What kind of place do you think is good, Nagara?”

“Having the bath and toilet separate is great~. Also, a place with proper security is important!”

“What about the location of the residence? Where do you think it should be close to?”

“A place by the Yamate Line!! The reason is that it’s easy for me to travel there!!”

“Ahaha……Sorry for making you come this far every time.”

“Please make it a convenient and accessible place because of that. Ah, of course, there’s also money to consider so limit it to a reasonable range!”

“Okay okay. I got you.”

No matter how one looks at it, it’s the conversation of a couple getting ready to cohabitate.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

“How disgraceful of you to get this low of a score. Hmm, seems like we need some punishments?”

“Kya♡ haun, uhyo! Bully me more, Masaki-kyun……!”

“Take this. (Peshi peshi) how’s it feel, had enough yet?”

“Mooore, mooore♡ haun, ah, hit me there……!”

“Say ‘I’m a useless girl who can’t even study.’ Do it.”

“I’m, a useless sow, who can’t even study……♡”

“………….Why do I have to do this voice drama appreciation with Tsukihi?”

Yuugure savored every moment of the voice.
