“I’m back! Inamori-kun!”

“W-welcome back…”

An hour or two after Hino-san went to pick me up, Tojo-san returned.

When I walked up to the door to greet her, she looked at me with a big smile.

“Inamori-kun greeting me when I arrive home… I’m so happy. Is it okay for me to be this happy?”

“I think you’re exaggerating…”

“It’s not an exaggeration at all! It’s just that there aren’t enough words to describe it.”

She walked up to the front door, looking very excited, threw her student bag on the sofa in the living room and took off the blazer she was wearing.

“I wrote notes for Inamori-kun with all the content from today’s class. I don’t usually take many notes, but today is special.”

“Thank you… Wait, you don’t usually take notes?”

“I just listen to the class and try to memorize everything. I do at least write notes for the classes that require me to submit them regularly, though. As for my free hands, I use them for what is known as ‘inside work.’ There are many things I can get done with the time, such as coming up with ideas for projects that my father entrusted me with.”

I’m pretty sure that was a far cry from what the average high school thinks of as ‘inside work.’

In the first place, I didn’t get the whole idea of doing different things between your hands and mind.

I couldn’t say it out loud because it might hurt her feelings, but it was possible that she already had a different brain structure.

“I’ve got a voice recorded, and I have only recorded the class stuff. Do you want to listen?”

“B-by all means.”

Tojo-san took out a small machine that looked like a voice recorder from her bag and handed it to me.

It was the first time in my life that I’ve been able to do this, and I’m sure I’ll never get used to the feeling of luxury.

“Well, as long as you get engaged to me, you won’t need to study anymore.”

I couldn’t help but look away as Tojo-san gave me a glancing, appealing look.

No, yeah.

I can’t be that heedless yet.

“… Ah.”

At this point, I remembered what I had to tell her first and foremost.

“Thanks for the lunch. It was really good.”

“R-really!?”

“Eh? Ah… It was really delicious.”

Tojo-san struck a guts pose in front of me, far different from the image of the innocent, perfect beauty. [EN: Gut pose is similar to a fist pump.]

“Really? I thought you had asked Hino-san to taste it for you.”

“Asayo won’t eat anything I make, so I didn’t have any feedback on the taste. I really want her to eat it, but oh well. It’s good to be professional, so I’m not against it… One day, when we have a completely private time, I’ll have her eat it then!”

I just met Hino-san today, so I barely knew anything about her, but I could tell that she cared about Tojo-san more than what her job entailed.

I’m sure she wants to eat it too.

Although I shouldn’t really comment as a third party, I feel that someday, Tojo-san’s wish will come true.

“Leaving that aside, it was indeed Inamori-kun who made Asahou, feared as the Iron Mask, shy. You’re good.”

“Iron Mask?”

“She rarely shows a facial expression in front of anyone but me, you know. However, when she came to pick me up, I noticed her acting strange, so I got curious and asked her about the details… To my surprise, she said that she didn’t know what to do after Inamori-kun called her kind. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Asayo with such an embarrassed look on her face.”

Iron Mask, huh. It seems kind of strange to say.

But that’s really just what it seems like on the surface. It’s not like she doesn’t have feelings or anything.

In fact, my impression of her was that she was a kind person who cared about Tojo-san.

“Well… I’m sorry, but can we continue after around 7 o’clock? It’s time to go to work now.”

Tojo-san glanced towards her room.

“Can Tojo-san handle a schedule like this…?”

“What?”

“I was just wondering if you wanted to take a break.”

“Hm… I… don’t think so. I’m doing what I want to do.”

I was awed by how Tojo-san said it as a matter of fact. Her words were so free of lies that it was almost frightening.

“The more I work, the less trouble Inamori-kun may have to go through. How can I choose not to do something like that?”

And she even said it as if it were normal.

“Of course, I also enjoy working. Recently, my father gave me the job of scouting for talented people, including those from other companies, and many of them have their own quirks, so it’s quite fun to observe people.”

“… Amazing. You’d have to be very trustworthy to be given a job like that, wouldn’t you?”

“Well, I guess so. I heard that my mother and father trust my eyes, so they often entrust me with jobs that require them.”

As she said this, Tojo-san made eye contact with me.

The colour of her eyes, like two moons, was so beautiful that they almost sucked me in. I couldn’t look away.

“Fufu, Inamori-kun is also the person I chose with my own eyes. That’s why neither your father nor your mother said anything to me.”

Tojo-san said with pride and walked up to the door of her room.

“I’m going to go to work now. I’m having a remote meeting today, so you might hear me talking… I apologize if you do.”

“No, don’t worry about that. I’ll keep it rather quiet myself.”

“Mou, I wanted to be in a meeting and hearing your voice, I would say ‘Oh, I’m sorry! It’s my boyfriend!’ I’ve always longed to apologize for that…”

I don’t want you to long for such a thing.

“I think dinner will be around 8 o’clock. I’m going to make it a little lavish today, so please look forward to it, okay?”

“… Okay.”

Tojo-san nodded with satisfaction and went into her room.

I sat down deeply on the sofa and began to stare blankly at the blank TV screen.

I was already suffering from the negative effects of living with Tojo-san.

(… I’m bored.)

I wasn’t used to watching TV, so this time was a little hard for me.

I used the remote control to turn on the screen, but it was too serious with all the news programs at this time of the day.

There were stories about celebrity infidelity, a new theme park that was booming, and a new panda at the zoo.

The things written in the scripts read by the newscasters on the screen are all about other people.

It wasn’t something that could relieve my boredom.

(Study… Yes, I should copy my notes now that I have them.)

Tojo-san said that I didn’t need to study, but I shouldn’t be carried away by her words.

There is a possibility that she’ll lose interest in me after this month, so I should have at least enough insurance to live even if she’s gone.

Then again, I couldn’t take a break from my part-time job like before.

I couldn’t work at the traffic guidance job anymore because I got fired, but I still had a shift at a convenience store that I work at in the evenings after school.

The next shift was—

“Tomorrow, huh?”

I looked at my schedule in my phone’s calendar app and then put it in my pocket.
