Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 43: Jokes

...Sometimes, jokes can make us forget sadness....

...\=•\=•\=...

The first lesson is over. Everyone ran out of class, but not with me. I guess, I'm still stuck with my thoughts about mom yesterday. Yeah, it is.

Huh ...

I let out a long sigh as I looked at the high school students who were playing and joking from outside the window. My stomach feels very hungry, because this morning, I decided not to eat breakfast. You know, I feel guilty when I remember what Mom said. I was afraid to see her look, I was afraid to see her face, I was afraid to meet her.

I really wanted to go to the cafeteria and buy something, but still, I couldn't. My legs felt like they were being shackled by a chain of sharp minds.

When I was busy thinking about the thing I should have forgotten, suddenly someone walked up to me and then immediately sat down in front of me. Well, I guess, that guy is Rey.

"Hey, Ai. You didn't go to the cafeteria?"

"Hm? Ah, I didn't. I'm not too hungry either. So, it's okay" I replied. I had to lie again to get Rey to leave for a while and I'm going back into my mind room.

"really? But your face looks pale like that. Hey, if you're hungry, just say it. I'll try to help you" Rey said. As expected, he definitely cannot be lied to by my words.

He always was, making excuses to lead him stronger. Though, my face is fine .. eem .. I don't know either. If only there were a mirror here, maybe everything would be clear.

"Huh .. You're right, Rey. I'm hungry right now. But I still try not to get hungry. So please, just give me a little space. I have to think for a moment.

"Hey, come! I've complied with your willingness not to ask why you're acting this way. Now I have a request too. Follow my words! We're gonna eat! Take it easy, I'll pay for it, okay?"

"Rey .. I appreciate your kindness. But–" I haven't finished my words, but Rey stopped with her index finger. "That's it, there's no word buts. I don't accept rejection here. Again, I'm giving you two options, want or want?" prune Rey with a frowning forehead.

His look looked very serious. He's really serious. I'd better follow his request today. "Hah .. fine." With a heavy heart I accepted his offer. It's not that I don't like Rey, it's just that I want a private room right now. But apparently, Rey doesn't understand this.

"Well, so. That's the Mizhunashi Ai I know." Rey smiled at me. "Ai the high school girl with a beautiful face like Miyazono Kaori. Black hair as Mai Sakurajima. He is as innocent and quiet as Shouko Nismishya. Then, cute and funny behavior like Nakano Miku. Suitable to be made waifu, ciyaah .... Ai oh Ai .. don't be sad anymore or I'll give you a kiss later," Rey continued in a strange style of speech. No, he said that sentence with great interest. His hands moved in the rhythm of reading. Apparently, he was reading poetry.

I didn't realize I was laughing when I heard his poem. I knew it was a romantic poem that meant to spout words and comfort me. However, Rey's word selection is arguably a little awkward, that's what makes me laugh.

He hooked me up with the female characters in the anime. I am not as beautiful as the characters mentioned by him earlier. By the way, it is true, Rey is an otaku or any other name anime lovers. One of the things that made our conversation always look happy.

Rey and I love anime. But, yes I don't like it too much either, anyway. I just love watching anime. It's just an anime romance. I love anime, drama, romance. Rey, like she likes all genres. Often I ask her for good anime recommendations. But, he instead gave a perverse recommendation.

I always scolded her if she told me an anime title that wasn't worth watching.

Wait, why talk about anime, anyway?

Huh ...

"Hey, Rey .. don't equate me with them! I'm a real human being while they're an animation. Remember, just animation!" I said give Rey a warning.

"Aigoo .. I really liked them before I understood the love you know. But, ever since someone was present in my life, I started to forget about them. After all, that person looked even prettier than all of them. Very waifuable anyway," said Rey. Again, he said something that raised a lot of questions.

"He? You didn't know? Really? Really? WHOA-GUH?!" Rey asked me a little too much, I guess.

"No. Indeed who?"

"Haisshh. This girl sitting next to me," Rey said.

After hearing Rey's words, I looked to the side to see if there was a girl sitting nearby. When I look to the side, I can only see one person. I saw a student with a body that ... 'Width'. He was eating very well. So, that means ... Rey ....

"Rey, are you serious about this?" I'm not sure.

"Eh, have you noticed? Thank goodness ... so, how?" Rey turned around to ask.

"Eemm .. t-but, w-do you really like him?" I asked the question again. I'm really not sure.

"of course. I really like him. Although I always smile at a lot of girls, she's the only one I like."

"Eemm .. It's not that I'm mocking you or anything, Rey. It's just, does this student beside me have such great talent, that she can attract your attention?" I asked again.

"Know! She has a painting talent... uh wait. You're telling me, the student next to you?" Rey looked in the direction I was pointing. "eeh-eeh ... Ai, it's not like that. Looks like you misunderstood. He's not the man I meant. God, how do you explain it, huh?"

"Shih ...." I'm laughing a little. Yeah, I already know, anyway. Thank God it's not him that Rey likes. I mean, Rey should've gotten a decent partner. A beautiful, kind, and always helpful couple.

I think the person Rey meant was not me. Even though he gave me sweet words, but he only did that to comfort me. I'm sure Rey can definitely meet the couple she talked about.

And, may I also have a partner who is compatible with me. A couple who can accompany me and accept all my shortcomings.

Hehh .. Why even think about a couple?

Thanks to the joke uttered by Rey earlier, my sadness began to diminish. I also started to forget about last night. Yeah, Rey's right, I shouldn't always be immersed in this thought.

My Note (Author) :

Rey mentions that Ai is similar to many waifu, that is true. Wh why? You see, Miku is the form of Ai characters from a combination of waifu. Just like the one called Rey. Yes, Miku also does not really understand, really not really. Miku only knows a few. So nih .. maap if it's wrong!

...\=•\=•\=...

Oh yes gess. if there is a scene Rey same Ai kiss. Look at this picture! It fits! Cawing. Ooh sin I tuh, fasting even like this. Yes 'tilah. So and take the liking.
