Chapter 203 The Upcoming Anniversary

The next time I saw Yukiko Yumi-senpai was in a bookstore during the evening rush hour.

At six o'clock, after get off work, Nanami Literati went straight to the bookstore closest to the company. Facing the evening rush hour, if he didn't speed up, he might face a crowded scene.

While waiting for the traffic light, Nanami straightened the collar which had become messy due to quickening her pace.

It is already mid-September, and the drop in temperature has made it clear that we have left summer and entered early autumn.

One hundred days.

That's right.

Tomorrow, Thursday, is the 100th day since we started living together.

——Living together with Arisu-san.

Logically speaking, if one just wanted to prepare some kind of surprise for the other person on the pretext of 'cohabitation anniversary', the first place that would come to mind would be a 'craft shop' or something like that. As for the bookstore... Nanami's goal this time was not to give a gift.

There are two goals to be achieved next.

1. Look for books related to cooking.

Ever since Arisu unexpectedly intervened in my life, my habit of regularly supplementing my cooking knowledge has disappeared. If this continues, compared with Arisu who is facing "actual combat" all the time, I will definitely be bullied by her in terms of cooking to the point where I can't fight back.

2. Find books on health care.

This is the top priority of this time.

Since announcing their relationship, Nanami could clearly feel that his quality of life was much better than before - he only needed to lie in bed and someone would heat the bath water to the appropriate temperature, and he didn't have to worry about housework at all, so he could clearly feel that his body had more energy.

It's just that - the most physically demanding thing right now is related to 'those aspects'.

When I entered the bookstore, I rushed here as soon as I got off work. The bookstore was not as crowded as I had imagined during the early evening rush hour.

Nanami kept moving between the bookshelves and soon found a rough classification.

He squatted down and began to search through the books stacked on the bookshelf with his fingers.

The books in the bookstore are taken care of regularly, but that does not affect the fact that there are some old books that have not been sold for a long time. Fingers are constantly running across the surface of various books, and a layer of not obvious dust soon accumulates on the fingertips.

"Ah, I found it."

Nanami Yuguang noticed the books about physical conditioning placed on the first layer of the bookshelf, because the demand for this kind of books is not as huge as that of paperback books. After all... the audience is completely different.

I stretched out my right hand, and at this moment, in the blind spot of my vision, another hand reached out towards me without any warning.

Because there was no precaution at all, his fingers directly touched the back of the other person's hand.

The cold touch immediately made Nanami realize something.

"Ah, sorry."

He stood up unexpectedly, and the other party also took the same stance.

The cheeks slowly lifted.

The person who appeared before my eyes——

"Yukiko...senpai?"

The familiar figure that appeared before him made him feel dazed.

After hearing the familiar voice, the other party raised his cheek in surprise.

"Nanaha... it's you..."

Knowing that his senior had such feelings for him, the number of times he and Yukiko met went from being frequent to zero since their last meeting in the coffee shop.

I don’t know how to face seniors who hold such thoughts, so I simply choose to avoid them in my mind.

"Senior...it's a coincidence that we meet here."

"Yeah... I didn't expect to meet Nanami in a bookstore..."

"Oh, Senior wants to buy this book... Um - I'll go look somewhere else first, there should be something similar."

"Wait a moment."

Yukiko's sudden words made Nanami pause.

Then——

There was a subtle feeling of heaviness in my chest.

"Sorry, Nanami was here first. I can't do such a thing as plundering the fruits of victory of others, so let me go look for it nearby."

Yukiko-senpai had a sincere smile on her face, which suddenly made Nanami feel out of place.

senior......

It's really gentle.

"Thank you... Um - if Yukiko doesn't mind, can you wait for a while? I will finish reading the book soon... and then hand it over to you, senior."

"Huh? Oh...thank you. Sorry to trouble you again, Nanami."

"It's okay... I have a lot to trouble you too."

"Then - see you next time."

Yukiko disappeared into the crowd.

Nanami kept looking straight ahead and her mind began to clear.

Yukiko-senpai...

Sorry.

The feelings that Arisu-san has bestowed upon me... must not be easily betrayed.

----------

"I'm back, Nanami."

"You're back, Arisu."

The convenience store closed at 8:30, and it had been two hours since Nanami returned home.

I quickly took off the convenience store work clothes that always made me feel uncomfortable, and felt a sense of security as both hands were wrapped around my waist.

Arisu raised his cheek.

"What's wrong? It's only the third day since we made the agreement, Nanami already wants to do something 'h' to me?"

"...Idiot, I didn't think so."

"The look on his face is very 'h'."

"That's just because I missed you so much."

My lips touched my forehead, and the familiar smell of conditioner filled my nose.

"Okay, let me go, I need to take a shower."

"Hold me again, I haven't seen Arisu for over twelve hours."

So annoying...

Forget it.

Since the other party is Nanami——

Just be patient for a moment.
