Hey, Takumi, today's soup is a bit strong, don't you think?
Yeah, yeah, I just didn't get the salt right. Was it bad?
No, no, I just thought it was different, it's very tasty.
The first person I noticed was Leia, who had lived with me the longest, after all.
No, maybe everyone else has noticed it, too.
At noon, my cooking senses have been dulled since I made the pastries.
'Well, Kobo also has a saying about errors of the brush. Even Takumi-sama can make mistakes, I'm sure.'
I don't know that word, but Nagisa is following me.
"Ummm, we don't like strong flavors. It's delicious, right, Koo-chan?
That's right, Takumi. I prefer it this thick, not that I care about it: ......
Everyone was very attentive to me.
But I know myself best, I know that I'm the one who knows best.
I knew that I had made the wrong portions of a dish that had been so easy to make that it took my breath away.
'You look a bit under the weather. I think it might be a summer cold, so I'm going to go to bed early today.
'That's a lot of work. I'll take care of the cleanup, so please get some rest soon.
Thank you, Nagisa.
I'd like to believe that I just got beaten down by the heat.
If I can't even cook, which is the only thing I'm good at, I have nothing left.
I stagger my way to the bedroom.
"Takumi.
It was Alice who called it off.
She was the only one who didn't say anything, finishing my food.
'Do you want to sleep with me?'
Pish, everyone at the table froze.
Alice's statement has no deep meaning.
She's looking at me normally with the same expression as usual.
I suppose she simply wanted to comfort me in my depression.
However, the others didn't seem to think so.
With a bang, I hear the sound of a spoon breaking and Leia stands up.
'Ah, Lady Alice. A man and a woman sleeping together before marriage is a no-no.'
Why? Leia would have been sleeping with Takumi all the time. And we used to sleep together all the time.
Ugg.
It was easily cut back and Leia fell silent.
It was Karuna who interrupted instead.
You can't help it if there was only one room. And it's not the same as when you were a child. There are many things that happen when you become an adult.
...... many things. What are those various things?
What? No, no, no, many things are different. I don't know much about them either, so I'm counting on you, Koo-chan.
Karuna turns bright red and passes to her sister.
'Eek! Why would you dump it on us?
Chloe glances at me, then turns bright red, slumps over and murmurs in a small voice.
'...... here, they don't say that here.'
'What? Did you think of something that he wouldn't say? Hey, just tell your sister.
Sister Cal!
Okay, okay, everybody calm down, please.
Nagisa took charge of the situation, cleaning up quickly.
'Takumi-sama seems to be in really bad shape, so please leave her alone.
It was a strange sight.
Up until now, when people have been making noise like this, I've always managed to keep it under control.
Now, with Nagisa's words of encouragement, everyone reluctantly agrees and cleans up the dishes together.
It's a great help, but I'm uncomfortable with the unknowable feeling of discomfort.
'Nagisa, you can go to ......'
Yes, what can I do for you?
After speaking to Nagisa, who answers cheerfully, you realize that you don't know what questions to ask her.
'Nope, nothing. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm sure I'm overthinking it.
The heat will probably make you feel out of shape and you'll be thinking strange thoughts.
I'll get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow I'll be back to my normal routine.
I open the door to my room and turn around just before I walk in.
'Good night, Takumi-sama,'
I can't see Nagisa's face as she bowed to me, but I can't see her face as she smiled.
But I couldn't help but feel that she was smiling.
I had never seen anything like it before.
Huge, heavenly chunks of steel towered up and filled the land.
Many people came and went from there, dressed in brightly colored clothes.
And in their hands, they all held something with buttons with numbers on it.
Everything should be different from the world I know.
But why is this so?
I remember this scene is nostalgic.
Is it a dream?
It has to be.
It's all a dream world created by my imagination.
I'm convinced of that, and I try to close my eyes.
As if peering at me, someone's face comes closer.
''Hey, you, Takumi, it's Takumi with your eyes open.
It was the first time I had ever seen a woman's face.
It was blurry and I couldn't make it out clearly.
Still, for some reason, when I looked at that face, I felt a tremendous sense of relief.
'My eyes are open, but I still can't see. That's what babies are for.
I hear a voice coming from across the woman's face.
It's not my dad's voice.
My dad's voice must sound more like a wild, wild boa.
Besides, I've heard this man's voice before, somewhere.
'Phew.'
I know it's a dream.
And yet, something unknowable and hot rises from deep within my chest.
I can't stand it and start crying out loud.
'Oh my God, what's the matter with you? Are you okay?
Unlike the panicked woman, the man calmly picks me up.
Then he sings out a song with a lilting rhythm I've never heard before.
'Pachelbel's Canon. I guess it's because I've been making him listen to it since he was in my tummy. It always makes Takuya calm down when he hears it.
Yeah, I know.
The song, which I should have never heard before, was as nostalgic as if I had heard it so many times before, and all my fears were removed.
And soon everything was covered in darkness.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
