Chapter 8:

Let's have some fun

BARAMAKU RANSHIN


It was Saturday.

It's been 2 days since I started working at Sachi-san cafe and luckily no accidents have happened until now.

Anyway, the day started the same way. I woke up before the sun showed up, did some exercise, a little more than usual after I found out how low my stamina was after running with the onee-san.

“Uawwa….” rubbing his eyes, Shigeo came down.

Surprisingly Shigeo beat Lemon today and woke up first ... .maybe not surprisingly because today was his long awaited sleepover.

“Good morning nii-swaaannnnn~~” yawning, he falls on the couch in living room.

“Don't go back to sleep now!”

“Owkaaaayyy~~” with these words the eyes were shut once again.

What did he even wake up for?

Well continuing my rest of the routine I let him sleep some more. Lemon came down after some time.

“What is he doing here!!!” were her words when she almost crushed on Shigeo under her weight.

“Somehow woke up and fell back to sleep, probably ... .surely because he is excited.” I said while eyeing him sleeping without any worries.

“Oh! Today's Saturday, I forgot.”

“Yeah, let him sleep a little more.”

I went out to take the newspaper. News of arresting a full indecent cult, a singer's marriage, a column of winning lottery numbers, weather will be sunny today. Nothing new for me, no sale.

I was still going through headlines when Lemon said,

“Nii-san I can be late today. My friend messaged me to hang out with them, can you pick Shigeo after school?”

“No problem.”

Dad walked downstairs, scratching the back of his ears and at the same time Shigeo woke up.

Seriously, they are in sync with the sleep wake cycle.

After having breakfast I told Shigeo to check if he prepared all the things for the sleep over, it would have been a hassle to search for them at the last minute. He said he did, but I couldn't trust so I took a quick run through the bag he prepared. It was a relief that he was all set.

There I was, sitting at my beloved seat near the window again waiting for someone to show up.

Clank clank clank

Think of her and she appears, there is a phase for it but it doesn't suit her.

Opening the door and without leading her eyes anywhere else she greeted me again with a smile.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning Uragao-san.”

Tailing the same footsteps as always she sat on the seat in front of me after dropping her bag.

“How did the study session go, Uragao-san?”

Stretching her arms back as a part of her response she went “Fumiko, She is terrible at it, it took hours but somehow we covered over maybe around 70 or 75 percent of material.She said she could cover the rest of it herself, not that I believe though.”

“That’s a good amount.”

“I agree but after studying continuously for days, maybe I am feeling burnt out. I need a rest .How are you doing?”

“I am also somewhat tired, covered around the same amount of material as you. I could have covered more but literature is giving me a hard time other than that I can manage. I did cover everything in science and maths-”

“YOU COVERED EVERYTHING IN SCIENCE!!??” slamming the hands on the desk she jumped.

“Y-Yes..”

“Amazing!! And here I ..” she drops back on the seat with a thud, giving me some air to breathe “..am stuck on this one chapter for 2 days now.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, science isn't my strong subject so I struggle with it.”

Maybe science is my strong subject, never really paid attention but now that I think about it science is the reason I got higher ranking than others in middle school.

“I-I can help you Uragao-san with it,if you don't mind.”

“Reall??!!!” her eyes looked with hope and her body jumped again.

“Y-yup.”

“Thanks!! I will help you with literature in return.”

“T-Thanks. So, when should I help you, Uragao-san?”

She thinks after settling down on the seat and after a moment asks “..is today after school okay?”

“Sorry, I have to pick up my brother after school so we can't hold the study session today after school .”

“You have a brother I didn't know.”

“I also have a sister who is in her third year.”

“So do I!! She is also in 3rd year of middle school and ... .we got off topic.” playing with her fingers she continued “ how about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow…yup it works. I am free all day other than studies tomorrow, so I thought of taking a break for a day.”

Placing the finger on her lips she started slowly sliding it from one end to other with her eyes scheming something, when the finger reached the other end a smile crept up on her lips.

Leaning a little close she supported her chin on the hand on the desk and asked in a seductive voice with that same smile “Then lend your whole day tomorrow to me.”

Processing what was thrown at me made me take some time to reply but her face didn't let go of that smile in that pause.

“I-Isn't a whole day of continuous studying pretty tiresome?” That's the only way I could interrupt it.

She narrowed her eyes a little like she wanted to focus only on me, the sharp gazes then took a quick look at my face and she replied “Not just studying, we both are tired right? Then let's have some fun after studying. Are you in?”

“F-fun?”

“Are you in or not??” She reached out the other hand towards me.

I couldn't understand what she meant.But I didn't want to decline the invitation. Maybe we were going to see a movie or something after it.

Like a moth to flame, my hand drew in hers.

“All set then. Let's meet at the Z library tomorrow at 9 am.”

Voices of students laughing and chatting echoed through the hallway, before I could ask anything else.

“Looks like our classmates started coming. Bye see you tomorrow”

Leaving me in confusion her hair swings in front of me as she walks to her seat.

After some time the homeroom started. Sensei was announcing someone's absence due to a cold while I was too focused asking myself “Fun?”

In the middle of 1st period when sensei was asking whether we understood or not, “Fun?”

During lunch time while chewing the rice “Fun?”

While walking to shigeo school i couldn't think of it because I hit a pole in the way which got me back to senses.

After we were back home we both changed our clothes and got ready to head out. After a quick check of all the things Shigeo would need, we locked the door and headed to Hiraru-san’s house.

I pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door. Shigeo’s bag in my hand, eyes looking around.

Kchak

The door opened, not fully but enough for someone to peek through. I looked through the gap, no one was there. My gaze fell down, two eyes were staring at me, leaning from behind the door.

“Ah…Akemi-chan wi-”

Slam!

She shut the door.

My heart took a big hit right where it's weak.

Some seconds later the door opened again.

“Oh, it's Shigeo and his brother!” Hirarui-san was at the door this time.

“Konichiwa Hiraru-san.”

“Konichiwa Hiraru-san.”

After both of us greeted Hiraru-san my eyes fell upon Akemi-chan who was peeking from another room inside the house.

“I apologise for her behavior, she is shy but when it's you she becomes extra shy.”

Shy? I feel a strong sense of rejection.

“Haha…” I laughed it off. “Once again thank you Hiraru-san.”

“Now come on, we already told you it's not a big deal.”

After handing the bag back to Shigeo I went back.

At home I was again diving in the ocean of books. The time passed by without me noticing and Lemon was back.

Hearing the door open made me look at the time. By the moment I tidied up the desk Lemon went into her room.

I walked down stairs to the living room. I had some water and lazed on the couch.

Lemon knocked on my room door thinking I was there.

“Lemon! I am downstairs!” My voice isn't loud but I tried my best.

After coming downstairs she asked me,

“I thought you were in your room nii-san.”

I made some space on the couch.

“I came down when you were changing.”

She lazed around the other corner.

“Shigeo didn't forget anything, right?”

“Yeah, I double checked.”

“Good,We can't trust him, he is like dad.”

“True.How did your day go?”

“We went bowling, chatted a little at a cafe, walked around in the park…overall we had fun!”

I remembered what I forgot about with the speed of the gun shot at my head.

Straightening my back and restarting my worn off mind I asked Lemon,

“Lemon mind if I ask something?”

Her curious eyes asked me “What?”

“What does it mean when a girl says ‘Lets have some fun’ “ Of course I didn't tell her ‘with seductive eyes.’

I wasn't paying attention to her, lost in solving the meaning behind those words myself, I kept staring at the floor.

When no words responded I looked at her.

Concern was written all over her face. Her hand shakingly approached me.

“N-Nii-san…..dont walk around love hotel streets.”

“Huh!?”
