Chapter 4 : It's A Good Relationship?

We're going home together, we have the same way anyway.

"Okaeri¹, Micchan, Nocchan"

Nocchan? Like mom likes daughter.

"Tadaima², Okaasan"

I just bow to her mom

"Nocchan, do you have fun with her?"

Thinking so hard about it.

"Y-yes, I have fun with Tanaka-san"

"Just call her Micchan"

"I am going in"

She blushes and runs away.

"If she wants it, I will do it"

"Eh, she just calling you No-kun, right?"

"You know?"

"It's the truth? Very good my daughter"

Ah, she playing with me.

"Nocchan, arigatou"

She bows to me and goes in. What that thanks mean?

I know, at the beginning I said I didn't have any interest in anything. But, she always makes me curious, time by time.

I never had any relationship with anyone, Steve is different. He is the first who can accept me, but I think my relationship with him is not very interesting. I'm just a friend of his many friends, I think.

He has been my friend since Junior high school, I don't know why we always have the same class, until now.

"Maybe this is what is called fate?"

Steve will say that.

Mio has problems with others because of her past, but she telling me. She wasn't afraid anymore? Or something has changed?

If she is afraid, she can't tell her past to me, it can be another trauma for her. Lost the person who often talked to him, and she became quiet and distant from the others, like now.

That makes me more curious, will I not have an impact on her if I go suddenly?

She is so open with me, it should be very dangerous for her.

And then, in next morning

"Ohayou, No-kun"

"Ara, Nocchan. Ohayou!"

She calls me No-kun in front of her mom, should I call her Micchan?

"Ohayou, Tanaka-san, Micchan"

I accidentally did it.

"Oh, you can say it, Nocchan"

"Y-yes"

"Okaasan, ittekimasu³"

"Hai, itterashai⁴"
