It was on the way back from dropping the uniform off at the dry-cleanerâs.
Mikoto, who was pedalling the bike, asked me a question.
ãAnd then? What happenedã
ãEh?ã
ãYou fell off your bike and hugged meâ¦Something happened didnât it?ã
ãAaâ¦ã
Sheâs a sharp woman.
Today, Mikoto was jersey-clad from top to bottom.
It was an unfashionable dark red.
I really canât see her being a student at an Ojousamaâs school.
Her short hair had bed head and it sprang up in the back.
ãDid you see it?ã
Since Mikoto is my childhood friend, she knew about my huge penis.
She didnât see it directly but she knew that was why I wouldnât go on field trips.
ãNo, I didnât see itâ¦ã
ãThen, what?ã
ãYou said it yourself. âMy dick is hugeââ¦ã
ãHaa?ã
Putting on the brakes, Mikoto stopped the bike.
This place is close to the street with the paddy field that I fell down in yesterday.
I also stopped my bike and looked at Mikoto.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
ãThatâs why Iâm worriedâ¦why did you say it on your ownã
ãIn the first place, what were the circumstance to even say that?ã
ãThat isâ¦I canât say itã
If I tell her the reason, I will end up telling Kurusuâs secret.
Even though it was Mikoto, he still couldnât do it.
Seeming like she wasnât close to guessing the reason, Mikoto shrugged her shoulders.
ãA girl? A guy?ã
ãEh?ã
ãDid you say it to a girl? Or did you tell a guy?ã
I donât know why she asked such a thing.
However, if it is only this much then there is no problem.
ãItâs a girlã
ãYou, are the worst. Talking about how big you are, to a girlã
ãDonât say anymore!ã
Letting out a huge sigh, Mikoto told me.
ãWell, if thatâs the case, isnât it fine?ã
ãWhy?ã
ãAfter all, hasnât she not seen it yet? It was a joke. If you say that it should be fine soâ¦if the other person is a girl I canât imagine her getting you to show herã
ãI see.ã
Scales fall from my eyes.1
I could use that hand, canât I?
Itâs a joke. Itâs fine to say that.
It is a terribly indecent joke but itâs better than being called huge dick.
Immediately after, it should be fine to share a different harmless secret.
ãWhat a good idea!ã
I think that will clear up the mood.
Mikotoâs mouth warped like she was surprised, and then she muttered,
ãThat girl, who is she?â¦ã
When we got to Mikotoâs house, I was told to come in by Mikotoâs mom.2
ãItâs fine, Iâll go home for todayã(Okutani)
ãEven if you go home no one is there, you know?ã(Mikoto mom)
ãWhy?ã(Okutani)
ãBecause everyone said they were going to the bath-houseã(Mikoto mom)
ãHow awful, to go without meâ¦ã(Okutani)
Mikotoâs mother and my mother have quite a close relationship.
It seems my mom ended up fairly fatter than when she was younger but Mikotoâs mom was slender.
Iâm certain she said her age was 34.
Black roots started to show in her blonde dyed hair.
She was a woman that loved tobacco and alcohol and she seemed somewhat languid.
With that being said, itâs not like she was living the life of a degenerate.
She is also quite a famous well-known photographer.
ãWanna come eat lunch at our place?ã
ãDepends on the menuã
While using such abusive language, I visited Mikotoâs house.
It was a one-story house that I was accustomed with.
I donât know if itâs the best representation of a Japanese-style home but it has that sort of feeling.
The roof was made out of timber that had become bare and the thick pillars had a conspicuous grain to it.
Pictures that Mikotoâs mom took were lined up in a row along the walls.
Mikotoâs father crowded with shelves with antiques fitting his tastes.
Incidentally, Mikotoâs father transferred away to the Philippines for work.
ãThe menu is what everyone loves. Curry!ã
Towards the words of Mikotoâs mom, I showed an unpleasant face.
ãEven though I had curry last nightã(Okutani)
ãDonât lie. Last night you guys had Udon, didnât you?ã(Mikoto mom)
ãGross, why do you know something like thatã(Okutani)
It is because she really is quite close with my mom.
When I arrived at the table, Mikoto brought over the curry.
We turned on the T.V. and the two of us ate the curry quietly.
I am quite thankful for this relationship where silence doesnât bother us.
ãOi, you two! Since I have a lot of photos to develop, Iâll be leavingã
ãOokayã
ãBe quiet, okay?ã
This houseâs garden has a shed for Mikotoâs mom to work in.
Thatâs where Mikotoâs mom develops her photos.
Nowadays, digital photos have become the norm but Mikotoâs mom is fixated on analog.
ãWash your plateã3
After finished eating, Mikoto lied down on the floor and muttered that.
ãIf you sleep right after eating, you will become a cow, you know?ã
ãHee, Iâm a little interested so I will just sleepã
This girl isnât cute at all.
I headed towards the kitchen bringing mine and Mikotoâs plates.
Making me finish washing the dishes, I lied down across from Mikoto.
We both watched T.V. while spacing out.
ãHeyã
ãN?ã
Mikoto began to talk.
ãHonestly, is it big?ã
ãIs what big?ã
ãYour dickâ¦ã
ãWhy did the conversation turn into something like this! Stop messing with me! Even though I was just starting to forget about it!ã
I shouted.
ãDonât shout so loudly, Mama will get madã
Thatâs right.
When she is working, Mikotoâs mom gets quite serious.
There have been many times where she got mad at Mikoto for being noisy.
ãAfter all, you have been worrying about it from so long ago. Is it really that big?ã
ãYouâre annoyingâ¦itâs fine, you wouldnât understandã
ãHey, youã
And then after pausing for a bit, Mikoto raised her body.
And while she was looking at me she said.
ãShow it to meã
Means he gets it now. â©
Damn this portion was fairly confusing â©
This is all a very vague chapter who is saying what exactly Iâm not entirely sure. Trying my best. â©
