Chapter 5: They and Dreams

"Huh?!"

The two men engaged in the conversation seemed to ignore my presence, and it was only after I used my articulatory organs to speak that the two people who realized that I was still standing next to them showed embarrassed expressions.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

What's wrong?!

For some reason, her body kept shaking, as if she was affected by uneasiness.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

It can't be because I interrupted them, right?

Speculating, I looked up and looked closely at her pale face, trying to tell from the expression whether my inference was correct.

There was a look of fear on her delicate face at the moment, and a little tear appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry I talked about you in front of you. ”

It's not that I can't apologize for speaking ill of me.

Do I think I'm the kind of person who gets angry when someone talks about it?

Sighing slightly, I tried to reply to her in a gentle voice.

"No, it's not ......"

"I'm sorry!"

Before she finished speaking, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she suddenly squatted down and covered her ears.

"I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear anything, I can't see, I can't see, I can't see anything!"

I......

What the hell was done?!

Didn't you just interrupt them!

I didn't even know why, but a feeling of guilt suddenly rose in my heart.

What to do?

"Okay, okay, Mio, Kazeta isn't the hero in yesterday's horror movie. ”

Kotofuki comforted Mio Akiyama with words that made me suddenly realize, and pointed in the direction of the stairs with her free left hand.

Is it for me to leave for a while?

Oh no, you must have asked me to call the two people downstairs, right?

Knowing what she meant, I made a look of embarrassment at her, but she pointed her finger at Mio Akiyama again.

I immediately threw up my hands in surrender.

I'll go!

When she saw the look I cast, she smiled brightly and freshly.

Keep up the good work!

Realizing the meaning of her lip shape, I turned and walked down the stairs.

After stepping on the iron staircase and making a small noise, I came behind them.

"Speaking of which, the tiramisu I brought last time is more delicious, the refreshing and mellow taste, the gentleness and sweetness contained in it, I don't know if I can eat it next time!"

Unaware of my presence at all, a Kansai girl with a strong fluctuating tone and a girl with short brown hair chatted about sweets.

"Well, the matcha cake that Xiao Xiao brought the day before yesterday is also very good, if you please......

"If you please, maybe you'll be able to eat it again tomorrow. ”

Continuing her unfinished words, the two of them seemed to be immersed in some kind of fantasy, and let out a strange laugh together.

"Hey, hey, hey, ......"

…… It would be embarrassing for them to interrupt them at this time, right?

Thinking about the consequences, I cautiously stepped up the stairs.

Really, climbing stairs is exhausting.

But if you make a loud noise directly at the top of the staircase, the other tenants in the apartment will be disgusted and uneducated.

That's what they think, right?

With this in mind, I started at the top of the staircase and stepped heavily on the iron staircase, making it crunch and crunch.

In vain, the two of them quickly sensed my presence and returned from their strange state.

Just as I was about to speak, the Kansai girl with bangs seemed to feel that the noisy sound of the two people had disturbed me, and she was the first to apologize to me.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sorry, it's too loud. ”

"Oh no, I didn't come down for that reason. ”

Afraid that they would continue to misunderstand, I quickly explained.

"Are you two friends with Kotofuki and Mio Akiyama? They asked me to call you up. ”

With that, I saw a happy look of relief on both of their faces.

"Great, finally ready to go up!"

"So, if it wasn't so noisy just now, Mio wouldn't have driven us down!"

"What! It's all Xiaolu's fault that you answered my question, okay?"

The two of them started arguing again, and I interrupted them with a soft cough to keep the two upstairs from waiting.

"Shall we go up?"

The stairs weren't very long, and after a while, I was back up the hallway on the second floor.

To my surprise, Mio Akiyama was back to normal and was standing at my door with Kotofuki.

"It's done. ”

The piano played with a pleasant sound as she waved at me and the two high school girls behind me.

"I'm going to eat tiramisu tomorrow!"

"I want to eat matcha cake!"

I don't know about their relationship, but they seem to be good friends.

"Yes, I'll get someone ready. ”

"Great!"

After the two of them made a request and it was satisfied, Mio Akiyama by the door suddenly coldly punched the girl who had tied up her bangs on the head.

"It hurts!!Mio, what are you doing all of a sudden!"

"Xiao Zhen is not a dim sum provider!"

"Then why did you only beat me!

"That's all ruined by you!"

It hurts so much......

"It's okay, Mio. ”

"I'd like to eat two matcha cakes tomorrow!"

The small theater of four people, which was completely unimmersive, lasted for a while and finally ended, and I stepped forward to break into their sight, urged by the belly of [Gollum].

"Well, I'll go first, and you're going to take your leave. ”

Today's dinner is curry rice without meat.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but stiffen up, and even my stomach didn't protest.

"If you don't mind, Fengtai can come to my house......"

As if remembering something, she temporarily changed her words before saying it again.

"Come to my room for dinner!"

I don't know why she called me by my name the second time we officially met, but I wasn't the one who would accept the invitation.

Well......

If my honest stomach doesn't interfere with my thinking......

I guess I'm going to say no?!

Her room number was one less than mine, and as soon as they entered, I stepped inside.

Even though I've been staying here for almost two weeks, it's the first time I've stepped into the apartment with other tenants, no, the first time I've stepped into the host's room.

The rooms in the apartment are all occupied, but I don't know them well, but we usually nod to each other when we meet.

But that's just the relationship.

Her room was exactly the same size as mine, and she was obviously the eldest lady, but the furnishings and appliances were about the same as my poor room.

I don't just want to live alone, but I want to experience the life of a civilian like me.

With that in mind, I stared at the computer in the corner.

Because of my father, my computer is still in my room.

"There's no internet cable. ”

Oops, it was seen.

Smiling awkwardly, she didn't pursue it, just beckoned me to sit on the couch.

Sitting in front of me were two high school girls whose names I didn't know, and the two of them seemed to be arguing again because of a disagreement.

"So I'm right!"

The Genki girl who made this declaration waved her fist and looked proudly at the tea-haired girl who puffed out her mouth to express her dissatisfaction.

Bang!

Sure enough, he was beaten......

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Let's introduce myself to others first!"

"Yes!!"

With these words, they all turned their eyes to me.

"Hello, Ritsu Tanai, the drummer of the ministry. ”

…… Ministry?

"Hey, do you even want to say what you're doing?"

She asked a question, then hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Hello, I'm Yui Hirasawa, and I'm the guitarist in the department......"

"Hello, Kazuta Takasaka. ”

After greeting each other, I raised my doubts at the right time.

"That, what do you mean?"

β€œοΌβ€

Probably thinking I knew, the Genki girl showed a surprised expression.

"It's the Light Tone Club, the club in our school. ”

"It's a school club, but don't underestimate us!"

She suddenly raised her tone and stood up and looked down at me.

"It's all our dreamβ€”"

"But on the stage of the Budokan Museum!"

……
