"Is it already this time?" Nakamura Masaru looked at his watch, with a hearty smile on his face, and said to the students under the podium: "Then get out of class is over, please pay attention to safety on the way back."
"Yes~~! Mr. Nakamura."
Everyone responded, including a few girls who were teasing.
"Teacher, teacher, can you date me after school?"
Nakamura Katsu was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he looked at the girl with a smile: "Unfortunately, the teacher is not interested in children."
"Hey~~Why is this like this?" the girl said in a coquettish tone, "Then what kind of girls does Mr. Nakamura like?"
After hearing this question, Nakamura thought for a while and said, "If I insist on saying it, she is probably the kind of gentle and intellectual woman."
Then he left the classroom.
Kato Yusuke stopped the mechanical pencil, and the unfolded notebook was filled with dense notes, including what the teacher said in class and what Kato Megumi had written in his notes.
Combining the two and adding a lot of his personal understanding, I have written so much without realizing it.
"Awesome, Kato, you are really hardworking."
Yamaguchi and Takei came over.
"How's it going? Do you want to go home together?"
The two of them looked at Kato Yusuke together.
"Sorry, you should go back first, I still have to work."
Kato Yusuke said while packing his schoolbag.
"It's a part-time job again..." Takei Ichiro slumped his shoulders, "I have to take a day off occasionally."
Kato Yusuke shook his head and said calmly: "That won't work, and you have to prepare for next year's tuition, so next time."
"But……"
Takei opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Yamaguchi patted him on the shoulder.
He turned around and saw Yamaguchi Takashi slowly shaking his head at him, and then said to Kato Yusuke with a smile.
"I understand, then go ahead and go home together anytime."
"Okay." Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, then picked up his schoolbag and walked out quickly. When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned to the two people behind him and said, "I'll treat you to a drink next time.
.”
"OK!"
Yamaguchi Takashi replied, putting his hand on Ichiro Takei's shoulder and giving a no-questions-asked gesture to Yusuke Kato.
Kato Yusuke then left and hurried to his part-time job.
…
…
at home.
Sayu quietly woke up from her dream. Three thousand worries were spread on the bed. Her eyes were still a little hazy, like a water lily that had just awakened, clear and moving.
"Um……"
She squirmed and got up from the bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands, and said unconsciously.
"what time is it now……"
The room was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock reminding her of the passage of time.
The hour and minute hands on the dial stopped at the numbers 8 and 12 respectively.
"It's already this time...!"
“No…dinner!”
As consciousness gradually awakened, Sayu jumped out of bed in a panic, ran from the living room to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.
Inside was a small box of tofu, a few eggs, half a radish, and two slices of bacon left over from breakfast.
"This is not enough...that's right!"
Sayu murmured, and then as if he remembered something, he closed the refrigerator door again and ran back to the living room with "ta da da" steps.
He picked up the white envelope on the table, took out a 10,000 yen note from it and stuffed it into his wallet, and hurriedly ran out the door, mumbling something like "buy groceries, buy groceries".
After asking all the way, Sayu finally found a supermarket not far from the apartment 20 minutes later.
"Isn't this... a big circle..."
Looking at the people coming in and out, Sayu gasped, his chest rising and falling.
The drawbacks of unfamiliarity come at a bad time, but now is not the time to think about them.
"We have to go back and cook as soon as possible...before Yusuke comes home."
She murmured and hurried into the supermarket.
If the workplace is a battlefield for men, then the supermarket is undoubtedly a battlefield for women.
Its intensity is not only no less intense than the former, but even worse.
Especially during discount promotions, the competition launched by the army headed by housewives is no less than a war without smoke.
Therefore, there are not many products to choose from at this time.
After picking and choosing for a while, Sayu only bought some fresh food and vegetables, and then went home.
As she walked on the road, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Would Yusuke blame me? I just agreed to buy something today, but I messed up the first time."
The traffic on the street is endless, and the flashing neon lights illuminate the city like daylight.
Sayu just walked and walked with shopping bags in both hands, and walked into a street.
Many white-collar workers passed by her, chatting with their companions about whether they wanted to go have a drink somewhere.
For the social animals who have been exploited all day long, their nightlife has just begun.
「Lawson」,「7-Eleven」,「Comfort」
One convenience store after another came into her eyes.
"Comfort...?" Sayu couldn't help but stop and whispered: "Isn't this the shop where Yusuke works?"
"Could it be this one...?"
Her eyes were slightly bright.
"Would you like to go in and take a look?"
Before the brain starts functioning, the body has already reacted first.
So Sayu walked towards that direction.
There was a space for parking in front of the door, and bright lights were on inside the store. Sayu walked around the railings, passing by the trash cans placed in front of the store, and was just about to enter the store.
"..."
There were small voices coming from the side, and one of them seemed slightly familiar.
"...What are you doing...?"
The words are a little unclear.
She looked up and saw two figures faintly flashing behind the air conditioner in the dark corner.
"Yusuke...?"
Sayu paused slightly and said a little uncertainly.
"..."
And no one responded.
After a slight hesitation, Sayu chose to find out.
She raised her arms in front of her chest, assumed a defensive posture, and cautiously moved closer.
One step, two steps, three steps.
The darkness is like a huge mouth that is hungry for people, quietly waiting for its prey to take the bait.
Da da da……
A slight sound came from under her feet, and Sayu moved her body gently.
The field of vision gradually became clearer, and what came into view was a man and woman hugging each other.
Due to the direction, the woman could only see her back. Although it was a little hazy, she could still see her exquisite curves and short hair that reached her ears. She was hugging another person tightly at this time.
"Yusuke...?"
Snapped--
The shopping bag fell to the ground with a dull sound, and the ingredients purchased for dinner slowly rolled out of it.
