Chapter 2 – Triangular Relationship\nVolume 2\n<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\n\n\n
As usual, my father slept well and soon I could hear him snoring from the Japanese-style room. As promised, I wrapped the curry he was about to eat and sat down on the chair in silence.\n
“…… Is your father okay?”\n
If you’re asking if his body is okay after all that, I’d say it’s fine. But if you’re asking if his head is okay, then I have no choice but to shake my head…”\n
“Of course the former. But yeah, he’s a very amusing father.”\n\n
I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.\n\n
“I, too, apologize for my father’s rudeness. Fujisaki-san, please don’t hold it against him….”\n
It was clearly written on Sayaka’s face that she wanted to kill her father.\n
“I was a little surprised, though.  Because he talked to me like I was already part of the family. ……”\n
I’m sure my dad was just excited. I haven’t brought a girl home since I was in elementary school. I guess I’ve been worrying him so much that he’s lost his nerve. That said, there are limits.\n
“H, hey….”\n
Fujisaki said with her face turned down.\n\n
“What did you and your father talk about before dinner?”\n
“He was wondering if the curry was sweet enough. As you saw, he dislikes spicy food, so I always make it sweet. And he didn’t want you to know that he, a grown man, only eats sweet curry, so he secretly asked me.”\n
“Shitty Brother …… is being talkative”\n\n
Sayaka gave me a quizzical look.\n\n
“Oh, I see. I thought it was …….”\n\n
Fujisaki fell silent there.\n
This heavy silence was all my father’s fault. There are things you should do and things you shouldn’t do.\n
Sayaka glanced at me and Fujisaki, confused. I don’t know what she sensed, but she looked very uncomfortable.\n\n
“Fu, Fujisaki-san, …… can I have a moment?”\n
“Eh?”\n\n
For some reason, Sayaka pointed at my face.\n\n
“Can you stare at my brother’s face?”\n\n
Fujisaki nodded her head but apparently had no choice but to comply. She stared straight at my face.\n
When I look at her like this, I still think Fujisaki is cute. In our class, there are many guys who like Fujisaki. There is no reason not to like her, not only because of her looks but also because of her personality.\n
My eyes met with Fujisaki’s eyes.\n
Immediately, she averted her gaze. However, it’s not a big shift. She just shifted her eyes to the side of mine.\n\n
“Is this enough Sayaka-chan.?”\n
“I see”\n\n
I don’t know what convinced her, but she wrinkled her brow and gave me a troubled look.\n\n
“What are you trying to do?”\n
“It’s none of your business, shitty brother. You can go on living your life in a daze. If this were a battlefield, you’d be so stupefied that you’d get shot in the back.”\n
“Oh, yeah?”\n\n
There was a hint of disdain in Sayaka’s eyes.\n
After a while, everyone finished eating their curry. Fujisaki thanked me once again for the food. I was glad to hear that she liked it.\n\n
“I’ll take care of all the cleanup. Fujisaki and Sayaka can go ahead and study. Also, if you’re going to be too late, I’ll drop you off, so just call me when you’re leaving.”\n
“Th…There’s no need to go that far”\n
“Fujisaki-san. Don’t worry about this brother of mine, you can make use of him freely.”\n
“It’s just a quick walk to the station. It’s not a big deal. I’ll be fine.”\n
“Yeah. Thank you so much.”\n\n
The two of them went upstairs.\n\n
I could still hear snoring coming from the Japanese-style room. At this rate, he wouldn’t wake up for a while.\n\n
About an hour and a half later, Fujisaki came down from upstairs. I had just finished all my chores and was catching my breath. I was studying world history on my phone, but I looked up when I noticed Fujisaki approaching.\n\n
“I’d better get going.”\n
“Okay. I’ll get my coat.”\n\n
I quickly retrieved it from my room and pulled on my sleeves. My father was still asleep. I had a feeling that he wouldn’t wake up until morning.\n
The two of us walked out the door together. To be honest, it was cold. I still can’t get used to this cold.\n
There seemed to be some dogs fighting somewhere, two different kinds of barking going on in the night. I don’t know if they start fighting at night, or if I just don’t hear them during the day. But they are always more noticeable at night.\n
“I caught a glimpse of you studying on your phone earlier. It’s an app called ‘World History Navigator’ right?.”\n
“Do you know about that?”\n
“I use it too. It’s pretty useful.”\n\n
When you have a smartphone, there are times when you end up playing with it. If you open this app at that time, you won’t waste time. This kind of accumulation makes a surprisingly big difference.\n\n
“You’re already studying at every chance you get. No wonder I can’t win.”\n
“Well, that just happened by chance. I just happened to be looking for some studying to do.”\n
“That’s a lie.”\n\n
Actually, it’s a lie. But I didn’t want to say that I was studying too much. I was embarrassed.\n
After a short walk, I soon saw the bridge. I could see from a distance that the station building was glittering.\n
In the middle of the bridge, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me stop.\n
I turned around and saw that Fujisaki had stopped.\n\n
“Hey.”\n\n
Her voice was quiet. I tilted my head.\n\n
“What’s wrong?”\n\n\n
She seemed strange. She didn’t look at me but kept her head downward.\n\n
