The bus arrived in front of the station.

We boarded the train that arrived.

Kurusu didnt say a single word.

When we reached Kitaichikura Station.

Suddenly she laughed. Kurusu finally opened her mouth.

As one would expect from a member of the Human Culture Research Club.

Eh?

I blinked my eyes at the unexpected words.

Kurusu still floated a good natured smile but somehow, a feeling like it would break started to emerge.

Okutani-kun, watches people often, huh.

Is that so? There is no such thing but

But, you saw through me did you not?

I saw through her. I didnt do such an amazing thing.

I just thought Kurusu was just being a bit unreasonable.

You seem tired frantically hiding behind a mask from everyone.

In order to not be hated, in order to not be hated, trying to treat everyone equally. 1

The girl that tries to be everyones friend and fight against gossip didnt show a single disagreeable expression.

Thats why she chased after me to ask me to try going home together.

Are you scared of being hated by people?

I tried asking such a question.

Kurusus shoulders dropped.

It became easy to tell she looked different from the original Kurusu.

It isnt like that but Hey, Okutani-kun, do you have some time?

Right now?

Yeah. Wont you come to my house? I wanted to talk for a bit.

A girls house.

Furthermore I ended up getting invited to the super beauty Kurusu Mias house.

For a male virgin, this is a story like a dream.

Visit . for a better_user experience

Rather, the reality is too much and I am troubled dealing with it.

E-to

If I wont be an annoyance then its fine but

Looking at me as if I was towering above, Kurusu had pleading eyes.

For the seemingly good girl Kurusu, it was a splendidly willful action.

It isnt a problem. Since tomorrow is a school holiday.

What is she saying?

You can even stay over, is what it seems like she said.

Idiot. You are way too easy-going.

But, Kurusu laughed seeming like she did not realize my error.

Thank goodness. Then its decided.

With perfect timing, the train arrived at Mikura Station.

We disembark on the stations platform and climb the staircase.

Somehow Kurusus steps seemed to have became light.

It was a short distance to Kurusus house from the station.

It was the top floor of a tower apartment complex that seemed like it was built no more than a year ago.

Naturally it had an auto-lock.

If the key isnt used even the elevator wont move.

Go ahead.

Pulling the sturdy door, Kurusu guided me around the house.

Mom! I brought a friend.

Mom!?

For a male virgin, even this was an error.

For my own convenience, I was under the impression that a girl inviting a boy to their house meant the parents were absent.

Welcome home. Ara, hello.

Kurusus mother was also quite the beauty.

In actuality she might be a bit older but even if she said she was in her twenties, I wouldnt doubt it.

She had long chestnut-colored hair just like her daughter.

Even though it was their house, she wore a white shirt and a tight skirt.

Hello. I am in the same club as your daughter, Okutani Koumei.

With my head bowed, I give my greetings.

I am sorry for the sudden visit.

Ara, so polite I am not very hospitable but, feel free to make yourself comfortable.

When I took off my shoes, we went to the living room with Kurusus guidance.

By all means, sit. Since I will be going out soon.(Kurusus Mom)

She had an appearance as if she had work after this.

Where are you going?

To a meeting with a client The truth is I had plans during the day.

While having such a conversation, the mother and daughter prepared snacks and beverages.

Then, please take your time.

With a light wave, Kurusus mom left.

The living room was about 20 square tatami and was well arranged.

There was a large T.V. and a big window.

The white walls were decorated with patterns of shapes.

What work does your mom do?

It is a job related to architecture.

Munching on the snacks, Kurusu replied.

What about your dad?

He is the president of a design office. They met at a college of arts and got married. Recently father became independent and opened his own office

Then what about your siblings.

Okutani-kun just keeps asking questions.

Sorry.

Its no big deal, Kurusu showed a rascally smile.

I have one older brother. He is a university student. He is living alone in Tokyo.

I see

What do you see?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Well, it is the very picture of a lovely family.

I will receive your praise.

I agree. They were words of praise.

The one who invited me to their home was Kurusu.

You said there was something you wanted to say.

Somehow or another I tried to guess the details.

So, you wanted to talk about something?

Ah, yeah

After she took a sip of her drink, Kurusu looked at me with a serious face.

Will you be friends with me?

We should have already become friends but

Thats not what I meant, I meant a friend that I didnt have to try so hard to not hate me

I became your friend with such intentions.

Kurusu had the same face she showed on the train.

It was the selfish speech without caring about the partner that was normal for a highschool girl.

Is that so? Thank you.

She seems really happy.

Kurusu stood up and vanished in the corridor.

I wonder if she went to the restroom?

When she returned after a short time, Kurusu changed her clothes.

She had a T-shirt under her parka. It was a casual appearance with jeans.

Since I have only seen her in her uniform, this has a fresh taste to it.

I can relax At last I am glad I have found someone I can relax with and talk to.

Kurusu once again sat down on a chair with a relaxed expression.

Picking up a snack, she put it in her mouth.

And then she licked her index finger. It was erotic.

After all you were scared huh? Of being hated.

Yeah Its a bit different though

Then, Kurusu talked about her past.
