Tannin Wo Yosetsukenai Buaisouna Joshi Ni Sekkyou Shitara,

Chapter 3 volume 2

At that moment, I thought. Enami-san might be the same as me. Just as I didn't know what to say to her, she didn't know what to say to me either.

If that's the case, then why would he want to come home with me? It's a mystery to me, but I'm sure he's trying to figure it out. I could sense that he had trouble measuring the distance between us.

I noticed that Enami-san was wearing a light blue bracelet on her left arm. It is a simple bracelet with no fancy decorations and is connected by a fine chain. It doesn't look very expensive. It was shocking that he was wearing such clothes.

"Enami-san, do you always wear that bracelet?"

I didn't notice it when I saw it at the restaurant. Enami-san looked at her left arm as she recalled with "Oh".

"You're right. I wear it all the time."

"Did someone give it to you?"

"...... Healthier"

Enami-san has a cool image. He doesn't look like the kind of person who wears a cute light blue bracelet. That's why I think he might get it as a gift from someone.

"Oh yeah. From your boyfriend maybe?"

"No, from my father."

I think it was unexpected too. I wondered if he was close to his father. I can't imagine him talking to his father in such a friendly way. It seemed unusual for him to receive accessories from his father and wear them every day.

"Does your family get along well with each other?"

"...... What makes you think that?"

"No, because if someone listens to what you just said, they'll think so too"

"Thank you..."

I wonder if it's something I shouldn't have mentioned too much. Come to think of it, Shiroyama-sensei also said something like, "There are a lot of things about the situation of the Enami-san family". I could see Enami-san's face becoming clouded. He didn't look like he was in a bad mood, but he was just depressed.

"What about your family?"

This time, the conversation turned to me. For a moment I was at a loss for words, but I immediately replied.

"I have a sister who attended our school. We talked about silly things together, and I thought we were pretty good friends."

"...... What about your parents?"

I tried to avoid talking about it, but I knew he would ask me that. I have no choice. I thought to myself and decided to answer honestly.

"My father is not strict at all, he is more like a friend. Sometimes we go karaoke together, sometimes we climb mountains."

"So so. What about your mother?"

Maybe Enami-san has no ill intentions. I guess he just asked me because I blatantly avoided the topic.

"...... He's no longer with us."

With just those words, Enami-san seemed to understand. He looked awkward and only replied with a small, "So".

"Don't worry too much about that. It was all in the past for me. "

It's been four years since Mom left us. Little by little, the chances of me remembering her are diminishing.

"I told you I used to cook on my lunch break. It's because my mom left. My father and sister couldn't cook at all. I'm the best, so I'm the one who has to cook every day."

I think I talk too much. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I should tell Enami-san about it.

"I'm glad to hear it."

Maybe the Enami-san family is not so peaceful. But I'm sure he cares about his family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have worn his father's bracelet.

"I don't know what happened with Enami-san, but are you planning to come to school on time and take your classes seriously from now on?"

That's something that's been bothering me for a long time. Since I was in a position to accept the request from the teacher, I wanted to know if it was achieved in any way.

"Yes, that's the plan."

You could call it the benefit of injury. I'm glad that my mistake finally paid off.

"After all, it's a teacher."

I was startled by Enami-san's sudden speech. I saw his face.

He had a mischievous expression on his face with his lips wide open.

"It's clear. Both Nishikawa and Fujisaki are terrible actors. And it's too good to be true that two class representatives are there, isn't it? I was suspicious of the way they studied together because it was so fluent."

"......"

This may be a bad strategy. But I don't expect to be found so easily.

That's not good. He had said that he would take the class seriously, but if we were to get caught here, he might change his mind. What am I supposed to do? After all, should I insist that it's not true?

Just like I was thinking about this.

–Kusu

I heard a voice. A little laugh.

I didn't immediately understand what was going on.

Enami-san covered her mouth with a hand and smiled widely. It was a sincere smile, different from the one he showed in class. It was a purer laughing face.

–Eh?

I felt like I had seen something extraordinary.

Is Enami-san smiling?

"Your face is quite easy to read"

I put my hand on my face. I wonder what kind of expression is on my face right now.

I think he's cold-hearted than that. I've never seen him smile so happily, even when he was with Nishikawa.

It was frustrating, but I found myself thinking that he was a little funny.

"I wouldn't be mad at you even if the teacher asked you to do it. Besides, I know interesting people like you."

Calm. He's just a delinquent. He's the kind of asshole I hate.

Someone who doesn't always smile happens to show it. Just as a delinquent picking up an abandoned cat looks like a very nice person when he picks it up, the person who never smiles only looks better when he shows it.

Enami-san was just trying to get back at me for preaching at the teacher's request.
