Episode 79 â Youâre a Boy, So It Canât Be Help
Rinâs lessons were strict. While I was playing around, Rin was being worked strictly by my father, so it was only natural that she should be strict in her lessons.
The thing I struggled with the most was the sense of rhythm. My fingers regained their sense of rhythm back then, but I couldnât quite get it back.
According to Rin, I was trying to cover up the fact that my fingers were still moving. She gave me some passionate advice in her own unique way, telling me to feel the rhythm more with my stomach. I am grateful for the advice, but it seems that it will take more time.
âOn the other hand, I havenât made any progress with Iori since then.
Academics, club activities, guitar. Partly because Iâm busy of that, but I also feel guilty about looking at Iori in a lecherous way. I consciously tried to avoid such a development.
âHey, Naru, do you want to come by my house today?â
Rin went with mother and lessons were off today, but if I go to Ioriâs house, I will look at Iori in a lecherous way again. What should I doâŚâŚ
When I was wondering what to do, she said [What? You donât want to?] I made Iori pout.
âNot that I donât want to ! Rather Iâm happy !â
âThen why are you making such a difficult face? You donât even have a lesson today, do you?â
I wondered if I should be honest about this tooâŚâŚIâm worried.
âWe can continue atâŚâŚyour house, Iori.â
âYeah !â
I was able to restore her mood for the time being.
âToday, Kaori san was the only one in the Kubota household. Gaku was busy with his project and would be home late for a while.
âI wonât disturb you today, so take your time !â
âWait, Mama !â
Kaori san gave me a strange encouragement.
This makes me even more conscious.
I made up my mind to be honest with her.
âSo, whatâs with the strange distance lately?â
Iori cut into it. Itâs not like I was being distant, but if it was perceived that way, it would be a big problem.
âNo, itâs not like that.â
âIf thatâs not it, then what?â
I knew it, itâs hard to say when it comes down to itâŚâŚ
In the first place, I wonder if itâs okay to say [I unconsciously looking at you in a naughty way, Iori.] straightly.
âWhat, so thatâs what it was about.â
âYeah, thatâs right.â
I meanâŚâŚhuhâŚ.
âYou silly, youâre a boy, so it canât be helped.â
