Um... Let's go home then...?”
Immediately after coming out of the staff room, I spoke to Charlotte who was standing beside me. With this question, “Areally we going to my house?”, That's what I want to say.
Yes, I will be in your care.
Looks like Charlotte hasn't felt the gist of my words.
Charlotte looked at me with a gentle smile.
I wonder what the hell is going on? Don't tell me this is all a dream?
I can't believe that I'm going home with the beautiful transfer student who joined us this morning.
Kui kui's.
“Hmm? Is something wrong, Emma-chan? ”
When I was busy looking at Charlotte, Emma was tugging at the end of my shirt. When I saw Emma, she opened her arms wide. Here, don't tell me…
"Bring."
As I thought. From the movements I know, I have predicted what Emma wants.
I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't like to walk as soon as he wakes up, or that he really likes to be carried, he gathers enough courage and asks to be carried in front of his sister.
I glanced at Charlotte in confusion. When I did, Charlotte gently shook her head as she said.
“Emma, Aoyagi-kun will be troubled if you behave like that, right? You have to walk alone, okay? ”
Charlotte crouched down to fit Emma's line of sight as she gently explained to her with a sister-like smile. It was a pretty warm scene between two sisters.
However, it seemed like Emma was dissatisfied as she shook her head violently and looked at me once more. His eyes glazed over, the two small balls clearly saying "please take me".
If a child had such a facial expression, anyone would want to instinctively comply with their request.
No, I'm not a lolicon at all.
“Charlotte-san, it's okay. Emma is light, so it's not too much of a hassle. I'll carry it. Of course, if you don't want your little sister to be carried by a man … "
"Ah no! Not that! It's just that I don't want to trouble Aoyagi-kun more. ”.
"It's okay. Besides, we'll get home sooner if I have to hold Emma-chan. ”
Because Emma was a child, her walking speed was much slower, so it would make us late. Normally, I would reject it because I had more time to interact with Charlotte. However, I have to go to Aki's house after this. I took money from Miyu-sensei, so if I don't show up, I'm sure Miyu-sensei will make hell on Earth for me.
After Charlotte finished thinking about what to do, she asked me to hold her sister because she knew Emma would not listen to her after her thoughts were made.
“Ehehe ~”
As soon as I held her, Emma let out a very happy voice. As I thought, he really likes to be carried.
“I'm sorry, Aoyagi-kun.. I'll scold Emma after we get home.”.
"It's okay. It comes with its benefits. "
“Benefit... Could it be, Aoyagi-kun is a lolicon?”
"Dam!"
I was blown away by the unexpected comment from Charlotte. I didn't think she would be familiar with such a word, let alone treat me as a lolicon.
“T, No !? Put that aside, why do you know the word lolicon !? ”
“Ah... Sorry... I tried to use it because it often appears in Japanese manga.”.
What kind of manga do you read where lolicon is often mentioned? Also, it was quite surprising that Charlotte read the manga!
I think he won't be interested in manga because of his elegant demeanor and polite language. However, looking at Charlotte, it seems like it is my selfish presumption.
“Muu ~ I don't understand what you two are saying.”
As Charlotte and I conversed in Japanese, Emma expressed her disinterest. She doesn't seem to understand Japanese because she's young.
"Oh sorry, I'll speak in English from now on. "
“Thank you, Aoyagi-kun. You are quite proficient in English. "
Charlotte started speaking in English as well. Since her mother tongue is English, she will probably be easier to communicate in English.
“Not as good as Japanese Charlotte if you ask me.”
“No, I think you are much better than me.”
"Where there is. I think Charlotte is very good at speaking Japanese. Where did you learn Japanese? ”
“i'm so glad you think like that. My parents taught me Japanese. "
So her parents taught her Japanese.
Did her parents teach her polite Japanese to raise her as a delicate and graceful princess?
I'm very interested, but I won't go deeper. If I ask for too much, others may start to feel uncomfortable.
“Emma also wants to speak Japanese!”
Emma, who was listening to our conversation, looked at Charlotte with envious eyes.I wonder if she knows what Japanese is, but maybe she realized it because Charlotte speaks Japanese.
“Don't worry, Emma-chan will be able to speak Japanese in the future.”
"Thank you…?"
“Ya, without problems.”
“Yay ~!”
When I nodded in affirmation, Emma was very happy.
Her parents taught Charlotte how to speak Japanese, so it was natural for them to teach Emma as well, and if she continued to live in Japan, she would be able to speak Japanese one day. Charlotte also looks very close to her sister, so if Emma really wants to learn, Charlotte will definitely teach her.
Well, put that aside—
“Uh, Charlotte-san. Why are you suddenly moving away from me? "
I asked Charlotte who suddenly made some distance between us. Maybe he's creating some distance because he really thinks I'm a lolicon. No, but I would be very surprised if I was considered the lolicon of the previous conversation…?
“Ah... Well... Actually there is no particular reason.”
Even though he said that there was no particular reason, he continued to increase the distance between us.
What's to be done?
My mental strength has decreased drastically. If Charlotte starts to hate me, I won't be able to recover from that blow so easily.
"I'm sorry…"
“K-Why are you suddenly apologizing?”
"Well, I think I'm making you uncomfortable."
As soon as I finished articulating my thoughts, she had a very troubled expression on her face. Even though she doesn't like me until she keeps her distance, she's still caring and kind.
What would I do if a gentle and kind girl hated me?
I'm very depressed.
"D-Listen .. I guess there was a misunderstanding ... It's definitely not because I don't like you …"
“Then why did you start making distance between us?”
Charlotte started wandering after I asked a direct question. He seemed confused whether to answer or not. Finally, he slowly opened his mouth.
“I just realized that I was sweating because of all the running I did before.. It was a shame..”.
Charlotte muttered with a reddened face and a voice that almost disappeared.
She was so sweet that my soul was enchanted.
