The next time I received Line from Enami-san was that night.
Risa Enami: Do you have a minute?
I was learning when I saw my phone vibrate. I had no choice but to leave the room. When I entered the living room, I typed in a reply.
Naoya Ookusu: What?
It's 9 p.m. I've been bathing, cleaning, and tidying up. I think all I have to do is study and sleep.
Risa Enami: Where is the closest place to your house?
Naoya Ookusu: What?
I don't understand his intentions at all. Enami-san is always sudden.
Risa Enami: I'm going there. Come with me for a moment.
Naoya Ookusu: Why?
Does he want to identify my house and put a pestle in my mailbox, or make death threats? Maybe it was her grudge against me that made her act like this.
Risa Enami: Come on. You're just learning anyway.
Naoya Ookusu: I don't want to!
Risa Enami: By the way, I'm already on the train.
Ookusu Naoya: ...... Whatchu mean?
I have been typing only lines with question marks since a while ago. Question marks kept popping up in my head.
Risa Enami: I'm not even sure if I'm heading in the right direction.
Naoya Ookusu: You will be arrested if you come out too late. Home now.
Risa Enami: Can't!
Naoya Ookusu: So why are you trying to drag me into this?
Enami Risa: ...... By the way, I'm on a stray train.
Naoya Ookusu: And?
Risa Enami: I will arrive at the second station.
Obviously, it was the closest to my home.
Naoya Ookusu: Are your parents not worried about you? I'll say it again, go home.
Risa Enami: I'll say it again, I can't.
I guess it was intentional that he didn't want to answer my question. Every question is neatly answered.
Tell Nishikawa. I'm sure Nishikawa will be able to give a better answer than I can. She was very worried about Enami-san.
Before I could type that, my phone vibrated again. As if to test me, it asked me a question.
Risa Enami: Hey, you kind and serious person, can you leave me like this?
I didn't answer the question. You didn't answer the question, but you did ask me a question.
Risa Enami: I just arrived at the station.
For a few seconds, my mind ran at full speed, passing through many thoughts. However, the conclusion I finally came to was the answer Enami-san wanted.
Ookusu Naoya: ...... Get down from there. I'm heading to the station.
I put on my coat and walked to the station, where I saw a girl standing alone at the deserted station entrance.
Enami-san was wearing ordinary clothes. She was wearing a green sweater and a long black skirt.
Even if the place was crowded with people, I would soon be aware of his presence. Although his clothes were ordinary, he still stood out.
his style. The aura that emanated from his extraordinary appearance. The eyes of people would never be able to ignore this presence.
The way he said "really" made me cringe. You're the one who told me to come first. In addition, you boarded the train yourself before I could answer.
There are so many things I want to say, but I can only say one thing.
"Don't be silly."
Enami-san's face was expressionless as she spoke with words containing so many thoughts.
"......"
Soleness. Every now and then, someone who passed us glanced at us. We could hear the sound of the train approaching the station. After a while, many people who seemed to get off the train disappeared at night, avoiding us.
"I've come all this way. What do you want? Tell me."
I asked in front of the station which was again quiet. I thought, I'm a gentle person. To date, I have never spoken to this person. Such a person came to my house without asking my permission. I have no obligation to meet him.
Enami-san said, without changing her expression.
"Do you have any money?"
It wasn't the answer to my question, and I wondered if I was still gentle from shaking my head.
"Not too many people here, are you? It's only half nine."
"That's a residential area. Not much entertainment. There's not much to do in this place."
That's why, at night like this, only the people who would go home would use the station.
"I don't think it's a bad place. It's okay, it's what it is."
"Is that what you came here to say?"
"No."
For the first time, there was an answer to my question. I repeated my question.
"Then what is it?"
"......."
But he still did not answer the important part. He just looked at me with his long eyelashes.
"If you don't tell me why, I'll go."
To show that it wasn't an empty threat, I turned around without hesitation. Then I started walking.
After two or three steps, there was no reply from Enami-san, and since the tenth step was still the same, I could not help but turn around.
There is Enami-san, looks completely unchanged from before.
"Prinsek ......."
If I leave now, I'll get what I want. But I can't move my legs. For some reason, I had a hunch that I shouldn't continue like this.
I walked back to Enami-san's side.
"What's wrong with you since a while ago! Enough's enough!"
I'm angry, but I don't think Enami-san is afraid of me. Instead of being afraid of me, for some reason, she loosened her cheeks and said.
"You're soft."
Shit, I should probably go.
But I can't decide what to do. Enami-san said to me in a small voice.
"Let's go."
Whither? Enami didn't answer that question.
