Chapter 17 Shiratori, I lost my umbrella, please let me shelter from the rain at your house
In front of an old apartment, Toru Izumi and Kyoko Shiratori stopped.
The outer walls were constantly washed away by rain, showing their age.
Large patches of patched walls made the building look even more dilapidated.
Izumi Tetsu suddenly felt guilty.
If Aokiichi hadn't written some irrelevant and self-righteous things in his works, Kyoko Shiratori would have lived a more comfortable life in the distant Shikoku, right?
Now, she lives in a place like this...
"Shiratori-san."
"Um?"
"You are here..."
Izumi Toru wanted to ask how he was living here, but after careful analysis, no matter what, living here cannot be called a good thing.
He also thought that with a character like Kyoko Shiratori, no matter how shabby she was, she would happily accept and enjoy every day.
Also, Kyoko Shiratori probably won’t regret coming to Tokyo...
In short, the emotion I just expressed was completely meaningless.
Without hearing the follow-up content, Shiratori Kyoko shook his arm with dissatisfaction and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with me here?"
Izumi Toru shook his head and said, "It's nothing. After I get you home, it's time for me to go back."
The girl's expression immediately became disappointed.
"oh……"
"Um."
After a while, Shiratori Kyoko still didn't let go of Izumi Tetsu.
"Um, Shiratori-san, what else do you have..."
Before Izumi Toru finished speaking, Shiratori Kyoko spoke with some resentment:
"Izumi-kun, you are so cunning..."
Although he didn't know what he was talking about, Izumi Toru lowered his head.
"Feel sorry."
It's not just cunning, it's simply hateful.
"Why do you want to say it? Just pretend to be asleep... isn't it good?"
Izumi Tetsu felt a pain in his arm held by Shiratori Kyoko.
"That won't work."
Shiratori Kyoko raised her head and asked, "Why not?"
"Because of the staring game that day, I lost."
She stared at him blankly, recalling the feeling of her heart beating faster when she met her eyes that day.
After a while, she lowered her head and muttered: "Izumi-kun, you are so bad!"
"Yeah. It's very bad. So, come up quickly." Izumi Toru pursed his lips towards the entrance of the apartment.
"Oh..." The girl let go of him, stepped out of the area covered by umbrellas, walked under the eaves, and waved her hand to him, "Thank you, poor Izumi-san!"
Izumi Toru waved his hand to her, held the umbrella and turned to leave.
The rain gradually became thicker.
The patter of rain beside my ears became louder and louder, as if footsteps were approaching.
No!
It didn't seem like someone was actually approaching. Izumi Toru vaguely heard someone calling him.
"Izumi-san...Izumi-san..."
Izumi Toru turned around suddenly. Shiratori Kyoko was running towards him in the heavy rain.
No umbrella.
He ran over in a hurry.
"Are you stupid? Are you crazy?! Why don't you hold an umbrella? And there is obviously contact information, so just call! What should I do if I get sick?!"
Izumi Toru looked at the wet girl angrily, and his tone was very harsh.
"Hoo-ho-ho-"
Shiratori Kyoko held his arm and breathed for a while before he calmed down a bit.
She raised her head and let the rain slide over her delicate face.
"Because, I forgot that I can still make phone calls...hey hey..."
The girl's hair was wet from the rain and stuck tightly to her forehead, and her originally delicate and soft face became a little haggard.
This made Kyoko Shiratori look pitiful in front of him.
"You are such an idiot."
Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but cursed.
"Yeah! Yeah!" The girl was not angry, but even happier.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Kyoko Shiratori took a deep breath and filled her chest with courage.
"Want to come and see my room? Before the rain stops."
The rain seemed to have stopped suddenly.
Although the paper umbrella's wrist could still feel the tremor of the raindrops hitting the umbrella surface, Izumi Toru's attention was only on the girl with a messy face but extremely bright eyes.
【Want to come and see my room?】
These words echoed in my ears.
Why did you catch up without using an umbrella? Why did you say such a thing?
Kyoko Shiratori, why are you so stupid?
Do you know that I will never refuse.
He looked at her quietly, looking at her waiting for a response.
It took a while.
"Shiratori-san should be wary of me being a bad person. She won't invite me upstairs, nor will she invite me to see her room. Do you understand?"
Instantly, Shiratori Kyoko felt as if something was blocking her chest.
Bit sad.
"me……"
After hesitating for a long time, she let go of Izumi Toru's arm, lowered her head, and whispered: "I know..."
Why should you refuse?
It's just that I want you to stay with me for a little longer...
Shiratori Kyoko felt like crying.
"So, if there is a reason not to refuse, I can visit Shiratori-san's room, right?"
Shiratori Kyoko suddenly raised her head.
Looking at Izumi Toru, who seemed to have made up his mind and showed a firm expression, she made a confused voice: "Huh?!"
Izumi Tetsu dropped the umbrella in his hand.
Wow!
The rain that had just been running fell on the two bodies in an instant.
His clothes soon became soaked.
"What are you doing? Why did you throw away the umbrella? You are like this..."
Izumi Toru interrupted her and said, "Shiratori-kun, I lost my umbrella. It's raining so heavily. Can you let me go to your room to take shelter?"
Kyoko Shiratori wiped the rain off her face.
It was obviously the same thing, but Izumi Toru deliberately took a big detour and turned her invitation into his plea.
She was very confused.
"Why, why?"
Izumi Toru took her hand and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Why are there so many?! Idiot!"
"Izumi-kun is the big idiot! You are the stupidest!"
It was obviously me who invited you, but you didn’t take the initiative to request it!
In this way, in this way, I won't be the one who takes the initiative to approach you knowing that there are other girls around you.
It's you who made the mistake on your own initiative...
Fool!
Fool!
The stupidest!
so stupid!
The rain was flowing freely on her face, but the girl was smiling happily.
Maybe, stepping in puddles is fun?
Otherwise, why did Izumi-san, who obviously had an umbrella, throw it away and run with me in the heavy rain?
The voices of the two people accusing each other could be heard faintly in the rain, and were covered up by the louder sound of rain.
Under the feet of the two people, water bloomed chasing each other.
Behind the two of them, the discarded umbrella was filled with rainwater.
…
Standing at the door of the apartment, Izumi Toru sighed while wiping the rainwater from his clothes and shaking the water from his hair.
I didn't expect to come back so soon.
I didn't expect that he would look like a drowned rat.
It's really embarrassing, the image of a handsome guy is gone.
but……
When he looked at Kyoko Shiratori, who was wringing water beside him, he couldn't think of anything else.
On the white shirt that became translucent due to being wet, there was a faint flesh color emerging.
Only one area is missing.
There, there was pure white cloth blocking his view.
One left and one right, pure and attractive.
Shiratori Kyoko subconsciously turned her head and saw the burning gaze in Izumi Toru's eyes.
Following his line of sight, she lowered her head and saw the outline of two bulges printed on the white shirt and the underwear wrapping them.
