Chapter 430 – Lenka Trainer Diary 5 #2

“Herbs…”

“Run.”

“Water…! Give me water…! Don’t go…!”

When I see Hiyori running away with a bucket of water and chasing after me, I’m about to burst into laughter.
If he laughs now, it’s obvious that he’ll complain and ask why they’re making fun of him.
I’m already sweating profusely, so I shouldn’t raise my blood pressure.

I, who was playing tag with Hiyori, slowed down my pace.
Afterwards, he lifted the water bucket on top of Hiyori, who was panting and following him.

“Ah, do it.”

“Ahhhhh…”

Hiyori opens her mouth with her eyes focused only on the water bottle in front of her.
I asked her, letting water trickle down from her mouth as she had lost all respect for her face.

“Hold it on and hand it over slowly.”

Gulp.

Hiyori’s uvula fluttered loudly without even listening to what I said.
The water was swallowed in one go.
I thought it would be like this… But I should have just added a sip or so.

“I told you to take it slow, but why are you acting like a tree frog?”

“It’s hard… Give me more…”

“Are you going to drink a little bit?”

“Yes…!”

“Are you going to listen well from now on?”

“Yes…!”

“You’re not going to wear sexy clothes like you promised, right?”

“Yes…!”

This somehow sucks. It somehow feels like I’m teaching a teaching assistant.
Hiyori was panting as if she was wagging her tail as if a puppy had a treat in front of her, and I was contemplating whether to continue with her Q&A, but I changed my mind when I saw her flushed face.

I think I’ll die if I don’t give it to him. I don’t know what to do at night when my stamina is so exhausted.
Unlike Miyuki, are you going to keep stretching it out once you do it?
That doesn’t seem too bad to look at.

After finishing her workout, I returned to her house with Hiyori, her shoulders slumping from exertion.
After sending her to her bathroom with her outdoor bath, I finished showering her in her small bathroom.

Hiyori had no intention of coming out.
Even as I was drying my hair and watching TV, the bath was extremely quiet and I couldn’t even hear the sound of the shower.

I was curious, so I called Hiyori in front of the bathroom door.

“Hey.”

Even though the voice was quite loud, there was no answer.
Could it be that he fainted due to symptoms of anemia?
Feeling so anxious, I opened the bathroom door slightly.

Crash.

The sound of the door could have been heard, but there was no reaction.
Have you really lost your mind?
Feeling anxious, I opened the door wide and looked inside the open-air bath.

In the steaming hot tub, Hiyori can be seen supporting her body with her arms spread wide on the edge like a gangster.
Her head is tilted back, her eyes are closed, and there appears to be no movement.
Just when I was thinking,

“Yes.”

Hiyori nuzzled her own nose again, smacking her lips.
Talking in one’s sleep was a foolish act.

I guess I fell asleep for a moment.
Filled with relief, I sighed and closed the door again.
He then knocked on the door loud enough to wake Hiyori from her sleep.

Thud! Thud!

Then, along with the sound of water splashing from inside, Hiyori’s voice was heard.

“What…!?”

“I knocked because there was no answer. “You slept, right?”

“Neng… I’ll take a quick shower and leave.”

“Slow down.”

Not being vigilant… If I had taken one more step into the bath, my naked body would have been revealed, so I wonder why I would have spread it out.
Consider yourself lucky that I am not an extremely evil person.

After some time, Hiyori came out, her eyes full of strength.
He said it as if I was passing by when I saw him.

“If you’re really sleepy, take a little rest.”

“W-what are you saying…! “I’m going home.”

I guess he cares about what I said last time, telling him to go to sleep.
When Hiyori, who was close to her, was scared, she seemed to think that she was laughing at her, so she got angry and continued her words.

“What did you just say?”

“What?”

“What is that smile?”

“Because it’s cute.”

“W-what…!?”

She looks surprised, raising one arm to her chest and moving one foot to her back.
Thinking that the reaction just now was really Chinese, I shrugged my shoulders and pointed to the corner of the room.

“Dry your hair. Home store. Wear what you came with. “I’m going to take you in the car anyway.”

“… I don’t like it? “I want to wear this and go home.”

“Then it is like that. But where are the pants you washed and gave me last time?”

“I’ll collect it and give it to you.”

I already put some clothes in Miyuki’s house, but I don’t know if I’ll lose all my clothes if I do this.
Should I go shopping after a long time? I’ll have to think about it when I meet Lenka tomorrow.

**

A white sleeveless dress shirt like a blouse, black slacks with a flowing hem, and high-heeled sandals.
When I met Lenka, who was wearing an adult-like outfit, I bowed my head slightly.

“Hello, Manager.”

“Greet politely.”

“Yes. Hello, manager.”

Lenka’s eyebrows twitched.
Normally, I would have said that I was being polite but why did I get into trouble, but now I am obediently changing my words?
From Lenka’s perspective, nothing could have been more strange than this.

“What are you doing?”

“What?”

“Why… No.”

Why are you suddenly so obedient and upset?
I want to say this, but it seems awkward to say it out loud, so I think I kept my mouth shut.

According to social norms, it is good to listen well.
It feels like he’s staying silent because he’s worried that I’ll look at him strangely if he talks about this, or because he doesn’t want to be made fun of.

Relationships can only develop if you speak honestly and openly…
I guess I’m on guard because so many things have happened to me.
When I think about it that way, I feel somewhat sorry.

Unlike Lenka, who was dressed like an office worker, I was wearing casual clothes.
I asked, thinking it was a bit odd that it felt a bit like a female professor and a male student were on a secret date.

“There was no problem coming, right?”

“Uh.”

“Then shall we go in?”

“Okay.”

Sigh.

When I tried to put my arm around Lenka’s back, who responded in an emotionless tone, she turned her head and glared at me.
But that was all, he didn’t really protest and just held on to the arm that was trying to pull him into my arms.
I said as I looked down at her as she moaned without notice and gave strength to her waist.

“Do you hate it that much?”

“What?”

“A lot of force went into the boat.”

“… Noisy.”

I burst out in laughter, took my hand away, and entered the store one step ahead of Lenka.
Afterwards, I started looking at the figures lined up on the shelves from the entrance.

“Do you have any questions?”

Lenka doesn’t like it when I talk nonsense.
Still, I’m going to take the initiative and explain it?
It meant that Lenka was starting to feel it too. A suspicious air current flowing around me.

It looks like she’ll get anxious sooner than I expected.
Chuckling inwardly, I pointed to the robot figure inside the transparent glass wall.

“What is that?”

“The protagonist of a new mecha drama that came out two months ago.”

“I didn’t know you also enjoy watching mecha movies.”

“I usually don’t watch it often, but new mecha movies are rare, so I watched a little bit.”

“It was fun?”

“Well… Somehow.”

“I see. I guess I should take a look too. “Do you have anything to buy?”

“I don’t have any.”

“Is there anything you can recommend?”

“…Didn’t you say you were buying a spy family figure?”

“I told you it was so popular that everything would sell out.”

“That’s a new one, and I’m sure there are some old figures. Come here.”

Lenka walks towards the corner without hesitation.
As I followed Lenka, I saw several figures of the spy family that did not have a sold out sticker, just as she said.

I had a smile on my face, but when she turned around, her expression hardened, and I nodded at her as I looked at the cute two-headed figure.

“Cute. “I need to buy three of these.”

“You know to check the paint first before opening the packaging, right?”

“No. I don’t know. “Do I have to do that?”

“Uh. Once opened, it is difficult to exchange. But, well… Most 2-head figures come out well, so I don’t think there’s any need to worry.”

“All right.”

I bought the figure by telling the employee, checked the paint, and put the item in my shopping bag.
Afterwards, I left the store with Lenka.

“I don’t have to eat, right?”

Lenka said as she stroked the collar of her own sleeveless shirt.
The lack of pitch in his voice made it seem like he was taking care of mandatory work duties rather than a date.
But despite her tone of voice, she seemed a little uneasy inside.

“Yes, well… You don’t have to eat it. I’m busy?”

“No.”

“Then would you like to watch a movie?”

“Good.”

Look at this.
In the past, I would have pretended I didn’t want to and pushed back, but now I’m willing to do it.
Instead of using words like ‘Do it like that’ or ‘Do whatever you want,’ he even responded that it was okay.

I got into the car with Lenka, put the shopping bags in the backseat, and started the car.
Then, as Lenka finished fastening her seatbelt, she took pictures of her navigation and muttered as she passed by.

“Master and I have to go to a hotel together.”

“What…! I’m not going. Chinami may approve, but I am different. “I won’t satisfy your darkest desires.”

“Yeah… That’s a shame.”

“Are you sad? “That’s natural in the first place.”

“That’s not what I meant when I said it was disappointing.”

“Then what is it?”

“I meant to give up because it seemed like I didn’t like it. That’s why I said it was disappointing.”

“Okay…?”

“Yes. “I’ll finish talking about the hotel today.”

“… Really?”

Since I wasn’t looking at Lenka, I don’t know what kind of expression she is making right now.
But one thing was clear: it would contain a hint of suspicion.

“That’s right. “Let’s choose a movie to watch while we go.”

“What genre?”

“I think the manager wants to see it.”

“I don’t have anything in particular… I’ll see what’s showing first. Are you going to go to the movie theater nearby?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. “So, I’ll take care of booking the tickets myself?”

“I do.”

“… He really is a strange guy.”

She mumbles in her very quiet voice.
These days, I feel out of place as I rarely have a mischievous side, and it’s both funny and cute when I show it on the outside.

In the movie theater, I won’t touch my back like I did before.
You should refrain from skinship as much as possible while watching the reaction.

With that promise from her, I glanced at her through her rear-view mirror as she began searching for movies on her cell phone, and then started her car.
